Spring. Finally, it was spring time! Frost bitten trees blossomed and bloomed, and the winter blues drifted away. Ah, how you loved spring! You strolled delightedly on the path to your Japanese friend's house, gazing dreamily at the scenery before you. One reason you loved spring was that it was so colourful. White puffy clouds decorated the calm blue sky, gentle colours of the newly blossomed flowers dazzled you; ah how you missed the beautiful colours of spring! Soft, spring pastel colours beats gloomy winter colours any day! And since it was the perfect time of day, and the perfect temperature, you decided to wear a thin (fave colour)

   Crack-   You flinched in bed as there was a bright flash outside the window and the sound of thunder followed shortly after. The entire room seemed to shake with the noise and you burrowed farther down into the blankets.   It was quieter again, except for the pitter patter of rain hitting your window. It wasn't as loud as it was earlier in your own room, so you could hear the faint sound of breathing from the other side of the bed. You wondered how Kiku could possibly sleep through this storm.   He didn't even know you were in his room, much less in his bed, even if you've only been there for a few seconds. You were staying with the

Romance was never something that Kiku particularly excelled at. So even just realizing that he had feelings for someone took a great deal of time and when the realization happened…he had no idea what to do about it. Upon understanding why he always got so flustered around you all of a sudden as compared to the way he used to act, he was kind of at a loss. I mean, you were his good friend. Someone he’d known for years and now here he was, agonizing in his room about whether or not he should do something about his newfound feelings. The whole decision-making process took about a month (a new record). And his decision? He was goin

“ And if I kiss you, darling Please don't be alarmed” – New York, Ed Sheeran [f/n] tried not sneezing again, rubbing the used tissue furiously over her nose before reaching out to scoop another one from the already empting box (it was amazing how she managed to finish those in record time, she would enter Guinness records one of these days with the right amount of bad luck and one of the nasty colds she always seemed to attract). The hard process of moving around while having the flu and the fact that she was buried by no less than three blankets made it very difficult to reach for the tissues that were calmly resting on th

Water trickled around your feet in the river as it flowed past, the wind in the air helping it along and swaying the leaves of the trees in the forest surrounding you. Despite all the beautiful nature around you, you had your eyes set only on the gorgeous boy sitting beside you enjoying it with you. Kiku Honda, your boyfriend for the past few months, had wanted to spend some time with you today for no particular reason, which of course you took up on. Unlike him, you had a goal set in mind. Today was going to be your first kiss with him. You've longed to have it for nearly the entire time you'd been dating him, and he had even lightly hinte

~Honesty's Seed~ Kiku Honda needed a suitor. He was at the age where he should have been looking for a wife, but no matter how many times he was presented with a woman from the other alliances or from his family's neighboring estates, he found no interest in any of them. These were dire times for the Hondas. If their only son refused to marry, how could they hope to preserve their lineage? Kiku had his own problems to be worrying about. His good friend, the head gardener, had passed away. Now that he was gone, his orchard of sakura trees was beginning to wilt just as his dear friend had only a few weeks ago. None of the gardeners that had

Chrysanthemum Tea The sun glowed gently in the clear blue sky, its rays peeking through the leaves of lush trees in a beautifully manicured garden. Summer had ended, yet the remnants of its warmth still lingered in the air. You opened your window and immediately a gentle breeze flowed in, carrying with it the sweet scent of autumn flowers blossoming in your garden. You smiled and closed your eyes for a moment, enjoying the aroma and the soft wind on your skin. "Oh my, I better start preparing now," you mumbled silently to yourself. You reached for the apron and tied it loosely around your waist. You then proceeded to gather various cookin

A warm breeze blew against your face and you breathed in the sweet scent of spring. You were walking through the park to meet up with your boyfriend, Kiku. You had been dating Kiku for two years, and today was your anniversary. Kiku said that he had planned something special, but he wouldn't tell you what. He just told you to meet him in the park, under the cherry tree where you shared your first kiss. You giggled. He used to be so awkward around people, he wouldn't even let anyone hug him. You had known Kiku for over a year before that day under the cherry tree, and back then he wouldn't even hold your hand. Although, slowly but surely, a
