"Happy Valentine's Day, Mikejima-kun~" Rei sang after surprising him with covering his eyes from behind. It's rare for the vampire to be up and about during the day, but he'd made an exception for this occasion. "I have something for you!" A gift consisting of a box of handmade green tea chocolates, and a key, apparently for a locker at the train station.

Distracted as he was with the work he was doing, whether something he had been asked to help with or something he had just volunteered for wasn’t really important - he hummed as he worked either way - Madara didn’t hear the steps approaching and was surprised when his vision was suddenly blocked. Imagine that, Mikejima Madara actually getting sneaked up on!

With a laugh he’d reach up to the hands covering his eyes and grasp them to gently pull them away, pressing kisses to his boyfriend’s palms as he did so.

“Happy Valentine’s Rei-saaannnn~~” Madara sing-songed back in return. He made a curious sound and moved his work over to see what Rei had for him. With a smile that didn’t seem like it was going away anytime soon Madara received chocolates and a key. Carefully popping one of the chocolates into his mouth, excited to try Rei’s homemade chocolates, he turned the key over in his hands.

“Are you sending me on a treasure hunt Rei-san?”

Rei had made the effort to sneak up to Madara, learning of his schedule beforehand, knowing fully how aware his boyfriend was with his surroundings, and then choosing the right opportunity to launch his ‘attack’. It was a challenge he welcomed, however; he may tire himself out faster that way, but seeing that adorably surprised look was always worth the extra effort.

“Did I surprise you~?” Rei teased, his cheeks pink from the kisses as he wrapped his arms around Madara’s shoulders. He could see the work the brunet was working on, and as usual, they were well-made. “Are you almost done?”

When asked about the key, Rei made a little playful grin. “I thought I’d make it a little interesting this year.” he replied. “So, yes, a treasure hunt just for you! That key’s one half of your clue.” Upon closer inspection, there’d be some numbers etched onto the keyhead, but nothing of the location.

“I have the second half, and I’ll give it to you if you can catch me.”

“You did~ You didddd~~” Madara easily responded, leaning back a bit more into Rei’s embrace. With his dedication to helping others out, he was just about done with the thing he was working on anyway.

“Yep! It was a last minute project so it had to be done as soon as possible~~”

Humming, Madara turned the key around again, bringing it up to eye level to examine. It wasn’t too hard to figure out that the key was meant for a locker of some kind, by the looks of it... perhaps a train station locker? Though... that didn’t help narrow down the number of lockers to search through...

“Catch youu~?” Madara repeated in an amused tone, “But Rei-san has caught me currently~?” The brunet responded teasingly, patting the arms that were wrapped around his shoulders.

"So, I see that you've gained top marks in that test I've made, Mikejima-kun!" Rei may be clapping his hands, but inside, he's flabbergasted that someone got a perfect score. Then again, it's Madara; should he really be surprised? "You've earned for yourself a prize from me. Congratulations~"

It... probably wasn’t that surprising that Madara could do such a thing. One really had to wonder what exactly he knew about those around him and what he didn’t. Except not really. Madara really just had a keen eye and a knack for picking up on information that might not have seemed important at the time.

 A smile had already pulled up his lips at Rei’s approach, but the elder’s words prompted the laughter that followed.

“A prize from Rei-sann~~? Hahaha, Mama’s really curious to know what it could bee~ee~~”

[mamachansenpai-blog]

By the time Madara would come by for a visit that afternoon, he'd find Rei asleep in his coffin, the bouquet of stargazers and white heather held close to the vampire's chest. It'd seem like Rei's been holding onto the flowers' messages ever since he'd received them, quite literally.

Having long since perfected his ability to enter rooms quietly and without alerting anyone to his presence, really a skill that was rather questionable - though probably not the strangest one he had in his arsenal - Madara was perfectly quiet as he slipped into the Light Music Club room. 

Since he hadn’t alerted Rei that he would be visiting, his phone either in his bag or somewhere at home - he’d forgotten to bring it again - Madara didn’t wish to wake his surely sleeping boyfriend. Previously he would always announce his presence cheerily as he entered even if Rei were asleep, but of course he would have at least given a forewarning. Today’s visit had been decided only that morning and he hadn’t had a way to contact the elder.

Plus with how busy they’d been, he couldn’t bring himself to wake the vampire...

And truly what a sight for sore eyes his lover was.

Rei was beautiful. Had always been beautiful. But without the worries and stress of the waking moments occupying his thoughts and weighing down his body... Madara smiled gently as he settled himself beside Rei’s coffin. A faint red covered his cheeks when he saw the bouquet he’d left that morning held so close.

Seeing such a peaceful look on Rei’s face as he slept helped to ease some of the tensions from Madara’s shoulders. He hadn’t even been here for more than a few minutes and already the brunet could feel himself relaxing. The urge to kiss Rei to wake him up was a strong one.

Instead of acting on that impulse though, Madara instead settled his bag gently on the ground and made himself comfortable. It was quiet here, and the sound of Rei’s breathing as he slept was comforting. Perhaps a nap of his own wouldn’t be too bad.

Perhaps he could also get a bit of actual rest too...

years have gone but the pain is the same  i have passed my days by the sound of your name

This next bouquet required a little more time to procure. Madara had to visit a couple different florists before he was able to find the exact flowers he wanted. Stargazer lilies and white heather. A statement of 'I miss you' with a promise of 'wishes come true'. He would deliver them as usual to rest atop Rei's coffin before hurrying off once more. He just had a few more errands to run that morning. After morning classes, Madara was fully set on skipping the afternoon ones and staying with Rei.

Preparations for the upcoming events have been hectic; Rei, wanting to forget that tense talk about ‘his’ future he’d had with his parents that night, poured himself into work as much as he could. Aside from [UNDEAD], some of the other units have asked him for assistance, and he couldn’t turn them down, not when payment was also offered as compensation. Of course, it’d be wise to gather as much funding as he could get to leave to his juniors once he’d graduated…

Aside from idol work, there were also other things he’d been doing behind the scenes. It’s tough shielding the others from harm, having to do it covertly to prevent future controversies from affecting the careers of those dear to him, but it’s his duty as unit leader, and elder. He couldn’t allow such young talents to be crushed before they get to bloom beautifully.

Never again.

It would be nice if he could have someone to confide in, even for a brief moment, but alas; everyone was busy in their own way, and Rei felt like he’d just be bothering them on top of their workloads.

No, he couldn’t have that.

That meant that Madara, being a solo unit, would be having twice, or even thrice the workload. That thought concerned Rei to no end, but it was the only explanation he could think of for his boyfriend’s long absences. Sadly, even the pleasant surprise of finding flowers on his coffin had stopped.

Rei had been informed by the florist that the bouquet of carnations and camellias had been delivered, assuring him that Madara had received the flowers. It was good news, but the lack of an immediate response made Rei more and more anxious as hours passed, having to constantly resist the urge to go find Madara, just so he could see him for a second or two.

But, doing that would be time spent on less-productive things, and he’d be left open for the upsetting thoughts to plague his already tired being once again.

He didn’t want to think about it.He wanted to forget about it all.

A few days later, just as Rei had resigned himself that Madara was simply too busy to send him a return bouquet, an exquisitely sweet scent greeted him upon returning to the Light Music clubroom. The colorful sight lying on top of his coffin, a stark contrast against the drab background of the room, instantly prompted Rei to drop the clipboard he was holding, his legs quickly carrying him towards his coffin as sheets of paper spilled all over the floor.

Stargazers! And…heather? What rare blooms…

So, these must be the reason!

Rei heard himself laugh in disbelief at his own doubts as he tenderly stroked the colorful petals of a stargazer lily with his fingertips, before giving it a gentle, adoring kiss.

What an unbelievable lover he has; wasn’t he busy?

Even with that thought, Rei smiled, for the first time in days, enjoying the sweet scent of the flowers that had given him respite from the anxious thoughts within his mind.

If ‘wishes come true’, then he wished he could see his sun again, even if for a short time…

[toneofdarkness]

The next morning, Madara smiled at the bouquet of red lilies in a vase of water on the dining room table. After eating a quick breakfast, Madara was out the door early and on his way once more to the florist. The flowers left on top of Rei's coffin that morning were a beautiful bundle of bluebells for gratitude.

He didn’t want to go back home that night, not when he still hadn’t sent in his reply, which then led to his parents sending him a second letter via crow mail. They’d sent one of their bigger crows this time, meaning that he’d have no choice but to comply right away.

The conversation with his parents that night wasn’t at all pleasant; Rei could still feel the furious shaking within his body even upon returning to school the next morning.

Did he really have to do much more to convince the hard-headed members of their clan, or else—His freedom had already been compromised; must they tighten the leash around his neck further? Unwilling, and unable to spend a minute more at home, Rei forced himself to brave the morning’s light, walking all by himself. By the time he reached the Light Music clubroom, he couldn’t feel his legs anymore; only by sheer willpower was he able to keep himself standing.

But, every cloud had a silver lining, and for him, it came in the form of a bundle of bluebells.

Such a beautifully bright color, Rei thought, although he’d collapsed to his knees beside his own coffin from exhaustion. He picked up the bundle with shaking hands, admiring the flowers even as he needed sleep badly, and urgently. Forget what had happened earlier; he only needed to know that his message had been received, and received with such love and care. That’s what’s most important…

Did he really deserve such love coming from a man who’s equally broken (in more ways than one) as he? If only their romance could continue outside the walls of Yumenosaki. If only their romance could get rid of the nightmare waiting for him outside the school’s perimeter come graduation.

If only…If only…

Curling up into a ball on the floor, only having his coffin to lean on, Rei clutched the flowers close to his heart, tearfully and wordlessly offering his own thanks to the one who sent them until sleep finally came for him.

Don't mind Mama as he quietly slips into the light music club room to leave a small bundle of vibrant sunflowers on top of Rei's coffin before merrily heading back out.

Why in the hell were his parents even awake at this hour?

They absolutely have no business being awake at this early hour!

Unfortunately, they were awake, and had sent him via crow mail quite a lengthy message that he didn’t need to read so early in the morning, resulting in the vampire sinking into a bad mood.

How dare they…How dare they—!

This time, it was difficult to pretend that nothing was bothering him, and yet Rei kept up his usual smiling mask as much as he could, using his daytime lethargy as a means for escaping matters that he simply had no patience for. If only he could just retreat into the safe confines of his coffin and stay there all day, but he had to start stepping up [UNDEAD]’s game now that the end of the year—the end of his freedom—was approaching.

Unable to handle the stress with a straight face anymore, Rei excused himself from their planning session, citing tiredness as his excuse. It wasn’t even a total lie; he’d reached his limit for the first half of the day. It’s already amazing that he’d stayed awake this long, although he could’ve stayed longer had it not for that damned letter.

Besides, he’d already given his unitmates the necessary details. That should be enough for them to come up with something while he deals with his bad mood.

He’d managed to drag himself back to the Light Music clubroom, having refused any help while insisting that he’ll be fine by himself. Of course that was a lie; he wasn’t ‘fine’ at all. He even felt like throwing up whenever he’d remember what he’d read that morning, but he didn’t want to involve the others into his personal problems.

Hadn’t he proven himself to be capable to the lot of them already? What more must he do to convince those hard-headed buttheads? And no; he definitely had no intention of getting married, especially not to someone of their choosing!

He hadn’t replied to his parents’ letter yet, wishing that they’d just forget about it for something less trivial, like they’ve always done in the past. What right have they to start behaving like they’re ‘parents’, now of all times—

—A sweet, floral scent greeted Rei upon opening the door to the clubroom, the vampire becoming instantly confused as he couldn’t remember leaving anything with that scent in the room. And even with his bad, and tired eyesight, he could see something bright in the otherwise drab interior, and it’s on top of his coffin.

Interest piqued, Rei closed the door behind him, approaching the foreign object, and found it to be a bouquet of sunflowers.

Sunflowers.

Who in their right minds would give a vampire like him /sun/flowers??

Of course, there’s only one person who would do exactly that sort of thing, and that knowledge brought out a faint smile from Rei.

“Ah, if only you would sit still long enough for me to have you to myself…”

Rei had gathered the bouquet into his arms, cradling it with care as he stared longingly at the closest bloom facing him. Imagining his sun’s big, silly grin on it, he then hugged the bouquet close to his chest as his heavy heart made him sink unto his knees on the floor, and started sobbing to himself at the unfairness of his circumstances. The sunflowers, substituting for his sun, now served as his source of comfort.

…If he wished and cried hard enough, would the flowers send their message of undying love and hopeful happiness to the Heavens, and grant him what he wanted?

First time in a convenience store since the days have become shortened, and what was the very first thing Rei saw?

What will you do? — Yank him away — Give in and buy him a bag or two

— Give in and buy him a bag or two

Or maybe three. Or four. Or... Hm. Would it be in bad taste to just buy all the bags on the shelf?

Well, at least he knows Rei would eat them. Don’t mind him as he happily just dumps all the bags into a shopping basket.
