Yellow Tulip

Honey had one of the brightest smiles Haruhi had ever seen. In a completely platonic—perhaps even sisterly way—it lit up the whole room. His wrath was indeed something to fear, but his joy could wipe away stormclouds. Honey was one of those people who were sure there was a silver lining to every cloud, and always a sunny side of the street.

He was stronger than his appearance or behavior gave anyone reason to believe—yes, he liked cakes and would spend most of his day perched atop his cousin's shoulder, but he could take out an army with nothing but his fists and feet. Still, his true strength was his ability to brighten anyone's day, particularly one Morinozuka Takashi, who cared for the small martial artist so much that he would go so far as blame himself for one little cavity.

So when he presented a blushing client with a lovely pink rose, she surprised him by handing him a tulip in return. "We're learning about the different meanings for flowers in my mythology class," she told him with an embarrassed giggle, "and I think you must be the yellow tulip, Honey-senpai!"

He thanked her with his brilliant, beaming smile.


The yellow tulip means 'There's sunshine in your smile'.
