Chapter 33: Lavender Farm
After we had our breakfast inside our hotel room, I got showered and dressed up. Murasakibara and I headed to the lavender farm. The journey took us about 2 hours. Atsushi kept on grumbling about having not enough food despite the bus had just pitstopped 15 minutes ago. He went down and bought more snacks but as soon as we leave, his snacks were all gone. Few tourists were staring at Atsushi's childish behavior and amazed by his appetite.
2 hours later and we finally reached Lavender Farm. Throughout the journey Murasakibara and I slept all the way until we reach the Lavender farm. Everyone left the bus and headed for the entrance. Atsushi paid for our entrance ticket. We held hands as we entered the purple flowered farm.
Murasakibara's hair slightly matched the lavenders and I took pictures of him, some secretly, for my remembrance. He pouted at some shots and some were him ignoring my camera. I wanted to try take a 'wefie' but he refused, where most of the time he would look away from the camera. I really wanted at least one shot of us together.
"Atsushi, please? Just one shot."
"I don't want to."
"Please…?"
Atsushi looked at me and did something unprecedented. He hugged me from behind and actually looks at the camera. He was smiling at it. I was surprised and delighted that he would let me take at least one shot. Once I did, he let go of himself and pretended nothing happened. I could see a tiny blush on his cheeks.
"Thank you, Atsushi. I will keep that picture forever."
Murasakibara just nodded and looked away. I held his hands and we continued exploring the farm. There was an ice cream booth selling lavender flavoured ice cream. Atsushi stared at the menu and at the counter where people were receiving their ordered ice cream.
"It looks so good…"
"It sure does, Atsushi."
"Yeah…"
"Do you want one?"
He immediately looked at me and nodded slowly. I asked him to wait while I ordered 2 ice creams. I had a queue number and waited near the receiving counter. Impatient Atsushi was standing very near to the receiving counter. It doesn't help that both of us are very tall and attracted unnecessary attention. Regardless, Murasakibara waited at the receiving counter and didn't hesitate to take the ice cream as soon as our orders were done without the queue number. I had to rush to the counter to give them our queue number. Atsushi gave me my lavender ice cream and we enjoyed the ice cream.
