My attempt at a tropical flag. Description in comments; open to suggestions.

from /r/vexillology Top comment: It's designed for a tiny island nation in a tropical area. The teal-blue on the top and bottom represent the ocean and the sky (inspired by the Bahamas), the orange represents coral and the vibrancy of life, and the three stars are there to represent the three provinces of the country.

The experiment knew nothing about his former life but recalled the girl mentioning that her birthday was during White Day once. Apparently, such milestones were important to people even if he couldn’t comprehend why celebrating. Even so, keeping her morale was their best interest. Asking her to follow him, Izuru led the girl to a safe zone—a flower field. On the ground, there was a box with supplies he got overnight, new clothes and a few trinkets she might enjoy.

     When Izuru said they were going somewhere, she was a bit surprised as they tended to avoid safe zones. Since these areas tended to be more in the territory of the Future Foundation and government that were fighting against Despair. It was something that meant possible putting himself in a vulnerable position, but for her birthday he took her here. 

     How long has it been since she’s seen flowers growing like this, untouched or marred by greedy hands? Never had she considered flowers to be much of a point of interest just something nice and pretty to smell. Yet seeing it now almost made her want to cry in joy that such a beautiful thing still existed after everything she’s seen.

     Watching him set up a box her eyes widen as he showed he had prepared, maybe even over prepared gifts. Did he end up staying up all night collecting these? As she opened the box, she saw new clothing and supplies. Like actually lovely and well cared for clothing that instead of just being practical was clearly of her enjoyment. 

     “This... This is a great gift just taking me here was amazing enough, but you even got me these?” She questioned, there was an evident fondness in her voice as she picked up a new hoodie. It felt so soft and even clean that she knows he probably had to look really hard and it’s possible he even washed it off before packing it.

     There were many little trinkets and knickknacks like some small game-themed items. The more Chiaki looked at her gift, the more her heart swelled at the very kindness of it.

     Without even realizing it tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision before her hand quickly tries to wipe them away. She was... Happy. So happy that he actually remembered her birthday and not just remembered but took the time to actually get her something. Despite thinking it was odd and unnecessary he decided against his own logic to do this, and she couldn’t stop the tears.

     “Thank you, this is a wonderful gift.” She whispers, knowing he could hear her and know these tears weren’t of sorrow but of joy. This wasn’t a small gesture, and she would cherish every single one of these, as the wind blew and the flowers scent wafted through the air. Chiaki felt whole again, she needed to return the gesture to him one day...

It was still like a dream come true: ‘we are dating’ he smiled to himself, like an idiot. And today was both White Day and Chiaki’s birthday, so it was extra special. Sadly, he couldn’t afford taking her to anywhere cool, so he needed to be creative. Asking her to come to see him during lunch break, he knew it was wrong to skip class but today was different.Taking her hand, Hajime led her to the planetarium to spend the rest of the morning between only the two of them, among the stars.

   When Hajime asked to see her during lunch, she was excited, though she was worried about him skipping he seemed intent on celebrating her birthday and white day outside of school. As her class representative they probably were expecting her to spend time with the class but... She wanted to be a little selfish on her birthday, and after telling Yukizome, this was given the go ahead. 

    She seemed pretty happy about it too something about Young Love and how she allowed to enjoy herself- Whatever that meant. Still at the least by doing this didn’t have to worry about the whole class getting up and trying to find her. At least, she hopes so, but as she went to visit him during lunch and they walked off the school campus, her worries disappeared. 

     “Ah-!” Her eyes widened when she realized where they were, a planetarium was a place she hasn’t been too since she was a little girl. Since they were skipping class to come here, they didn’t have to worry too much about anyone from school. Though they also had to pretend they weren’t students least, they wanted to get in trouble, but these thoughts didn’t even cross her mind.

     “A Planetarium,” She whispers as they entered the building already delighted and happy that this is how she was going to spend her birthday. Watching a few people walking around some were couples getting close, but thankfully it wasn’t too crowded since was a weekday. So they would be able to get in and see the stars easily.

     “I haven’t been to once since I was really little this is a great birthday already,” She noted, staring at the building feeling a kind of warmth in her chest. Excited to see the stars wondering if can make a wish on the stars in the planetarium. Though she guessed those wouldn’t ‘count’ but what if?

Sleeping was a rare commodity, at least quality sleep. Therefore, it wasn’t all surprising or unexpected to see the gamer falling asleep during some idling moment. However now it the best moment to keep moving. ❝ Hey, wake up.❞ Izuru called her, kneeled to her level. The talent stood up and waited for her to open her eyes.

     “Hmm...?” A low tired hum escaped her as her eyes looked up at the taller male waking up from her rest. Feeling just a bit groggy, did she fall asleep? She didn’t even realize it but she guessed it was bound to happen as she had a hard time sleeping. Regardless of how long she been doing this, it was just something she couldn’t get used too.    A yawn escaped her as she rubs her eyes to see Izuru looking down on her waiting with a blank expression. Oh, they must have been in one place too long, a slightly embarrassed look crosses her features. Then again it was only natural that at one point she might doze off on a moments notice if they settled for a bit. But there was still a lot of sun and thus there were still a lot of scavengers and despair fanatics around.     Until they find a semi-safe zone, since all the safe zones are guarded by the Future Foundation, they couldn’t be sleeping any random area.      “Sorry, I didn’t mean to sleep.” She spoke, rubbing her eyes noting that she always seemed to be exhausted. Lack of food and safe shelter was certainly taking its toll on her but despite that, she didn’t fuss about her living situation. At least not yet, getting to her feet she dusts herself off knowing he was waiting for her.

     “I’m awake now, where are we going today?”

"There's nowhere I'd rather be than right by your side."

     Her eyes glance up at the other as it was winter time the two were just watching the snow fall together waiting for the subway to go home. She had taken the other to Akihabara to go to a gaming Arcade that Hajime took her too. Eventually, she wanted to take her whole class to it and wanted to pitch the idea but it would cost money. Though she felt almost like she had been the one having more fun than Nagito as the guy insisted on paying for the games when she ran out of money.

      However, when Chiaki expressed this thought as she was leaving with an arm full of pokemon crane they won in the Crane game section of the game store he smiled. It was just a content and peaceful smile as he spoke about how there was nowhere he rather be then at her side. It made her blush just a bit, it was so sweet as her hands rub against each other with a slightly sheepish smile clear on her face.

     “Komaeda-kun...” She spoke before she suddenly heard the sound of the subway train coming. Glancing down the lane seeing the light of the train coming before looking at Nagito as she spoke up. Her eyes softened with a gentle affection for her best friend as her chest felt warm, “Thank you... I had a great day with you, I hope we can come again with the whole class. It’ll be just as fun so I hope you look forward to it.”

     Truly, she was lucky to have lived in a world where she met this man.
