Aoko walked over to Kaito and handed him a bouquet with geraniums, sunflowers, violets, zinnias, dills, orange and red roses, sycamores and tuberoses, looking away with slight flushed cheeks.

GERANIUM: True friendship
SUNFLOWER: Gratitude
VIOLET: Loyalty
ZINNIA: Memories
DILL: Lust
ROSE (ORANGE): Fascination
ROSE (RED): Passionate love
SYCAMORE: Curiosity
TUBEROSE: Pleasure

Blink. Blink. And a blush.

He slowly reached out to accept the flowers and looks down at them for a minute. He was happy that she’d give flowers with these meanings… But he’s still not over everything that had happened…

After taking a moment to think, he glanced up at her and then quickly, but softly, kissed her on the lips before pulling back and smiling.

“…Thanks, Aoko….”
