25. Flower (1/1)

walking out after an exam and knowing you've aced it is the best feeling in the world just saying.

*cries tears of happiness*

-flower-

"oh, aren't these flowers pretty!"

"i wonder if i can incorporate them into a new dish…"

tsuna stands a little way away from his gushing mother and bianchi who is whispering dark, dark things. nana's friend had fallen ill and so the woman wanted to buy some flowers for her-hence why they were in a florists.

he'd been (embarrassingly) dragged along after reborn had suggested he buy some flowers for his female friends-nana had loved the idea far too much.

sighing, his eyes drift across the room, a mish-mash of colours making the shop look as though it belonged in a painting. he catches a flash of

ight yellow and his gaze settles on a small bouquet of flowers nearby. walking over, tsuna leans over to take a closer look at it.

it's a bouquet of yellow tulips, wrapped up in delicate white paper with intricate floral cut outs along the rim, a yellow ribbon of the same colour as the flowers being wound around the bottom. the tulips at first seem simplistic, petals only in one colour, but upon closer inspection he sees tints of orange and red.

their beauty grows on him, he realizes.

his eyes then focus on the card beneath the bunch of flowers:

tulips-yellow

meaning

there's sunshine in your smile

tsuna doesn't even notice how, despite having likened kyoko's smile to the sun several times, his thoughts immediately jump to kahiro instead.
