The next morning, Feliciano, Lovino, Kiku, Antonio, Alfred, and Arthur all met up at their table for breakfast. They laughed and carried on as normal. Antonio was the first to finish and leave, saying he was super behind on homework and his weekend was dedicated to his desk and work. Alfred was the next to finish, Feliciano soon after. They both dashed off with a wave saying they were going to meet up with Ludwig.

"And then there were three." Arthur chuckled.

"Not for long, I'm going after them." Lovino replied as he nearly swallowed the rest of his muffin whole and abruptly left the table.

"Okay so then there were two. Almost the same." Arthur smirked, leaning back in his chair.

Kiku couldn't help the giggle that escaped his lips. "Do you have anything to do today? Since you're the only one who has finished and not dashed off."

Arthur shrugged. "Nope. My homework is pretty much finished. And I didn't make plans with anyone this weekend. Did you have something in mind?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I hear the flowers in the garden are still in bloom." He shrugged. "We could go look at them." Kiku cursed to himself, feeling his cheeks heat up.

Arthur's face lit up in a smile. "That sounds like a great idea! I haven't been out to the garden in ages! Plus, it will be nice to get out and have some fresh air for once instead of being in those stuffy classrooms."

"No kidding." Kiku smiled, finishing the rest of his tea. "What are we waiting for?" He asked, standing up and grabbing his tray.

Arthur followed his lead as they cleaned up their table and left the dining area. They talked about different things they knew about the garden on their way there.

"I believe there are plants from all over the world in their because they have students from all over the world. They wanted their garden to be as diverse as their student body." Kiku stated.

"Really? Wouldn't some of the plants wipe out others?" Arthur asked.

"Not if you know how to handle them. They do extensive research on the plants before they even bring them in. It's months before the plants even make it into the garden." Kiku replied, proud of his knowledge.

Arthur smiled. "That's impressive. Dedicated to the plants. The gardeners I mean."

They walked around the garden together, pointing out the different flowers and trees that they recognized. Arthur smiled at how excited Kiku was getting about showing off his knowledge. He was happy that Kiku trusted him enough to show him the side that no one really saw. The side hidden behind closed doors. Kiku smiled and pointed out the different flowers and which countries they came from.

And Arthur couldn't be happier. He was getting to spend time with Kiku and that was all that mattered. Arthur wondered if Kiku was usually like this when he was alone or was he still the quiet boy he had met only days prior? Arthur wasn't sure, but he knew one thing for sure, he wanted Kiku to keep smiling and laughing like he had been all week.

"Arthur!" Kiku finally shouted, trying to get the other males attention.

He hadn't realized it, but Arthur had been staring off into space for some time. That is, until Kiku shouted and pulled him out of his trance. His face quickly flushed with embarrassment as he buried his face in his hands.

"Oh my goodness! I am so sorry. I-I don't know what came over me I was-!" Arthur apologized until Kiku took a hold of his hand, shutting him up immediately.

Kiku smiled, "It's alright. Calm down. You just zoned out is all. It happens to Feliciano all the time. He gets distracted quite easily sometimes and often zones out."

Arthur looked at the other boy, his face still flushed bright red. "Alright. I'm sorry though, I missed your facts on the flowers."

Kiku let out a small laugh. "That's quite alright. Most people find the facts boring anyway. Shall we keep going?"

Arthur nodded and they continued their stroll through the foliage. Eventually, they both decided to take a small break from walking and sat on one of the benches. They sat in blissful silence for, what felt like an eternity, was only a few minutes. Arthur was the first to stand and break the silence, however.

"Come on, we're most of the way through now! Let's keep moving!" The blonde smiled.

Kiku sighed silently to himself before standing up and nodding. They continued their walk and came out of the garden a few minutes later. After they talked a moment they decided to go to Kiku's room and relax. Arthur dashed to his room and brought a book back. The duo sat and read, discussing their books as well for at least an hour until the dorm room door opened.

Feliciano looked up at the duo and smiled. "Hey, guys! What are you doing here? Last I saw you was breakfast."

"Feli that was two hours ago." Kiku replied, setting his book down.

"I know." He walked to his side of the room. "Have you two been in here reading that whole time?"

"No. We went and looked through the school garden first. We've only been in here for an hour." Arthur replied.

"Lovino, Antonio and I want to have an air hockey tournament in the common area but I don't have anyone to play with so we can't." Feliciano sighed, laying down on his bed.

"I'm sure Alfred will play with you. He loves that game." Arthur replied.

Feliciano sat up quickly, his smile plastered on his face once more. "Really!"

Arthur nodded. "He should be back in our room. At least, he was there an hour ago but I can't imagine why he'd leave."

"Will you guys come and watch us play?" Feliciano tilted his head to the side.

The duo looked at each other and smiled. "Sure Feli." Arthur replied.

"Yay!" Feliciano shouted and skipped out the door.
