\SUNDAY/
-CYAN'S POV-
.
*Sunday morning, Cyan holds his phone, lying on his bed talking to himself.
[Cyan] \brainstorms\ (What should I do tomorrow.)
[Cyan] The first official day as Ember's. \ponders\
[Cyan] (Classmate treatment has to go. So will friend treatment.)
[Cyan] Should I give her flowers? But what flowers does she want? (what about plan?)
[Cyan] Should I plan what to do tomorrow, Monday?
[Cyan] \types\ Let's give her flowers in the morning. Then what?
[Cyan] \remembers\ Ah! We should definitely add each others contacts though, we don't want to forget it again. \types\
[Cyan] (Social media huh),(I don't have a picture of her, us.)
[Cyan] What's a great time to take pictures? (There are classes so we can't really go out. Inside campus. Let's do it.)
[Cyan] Should I also buy her morning coffee? (Nah, she'll probably have one before she goes to class tomorrow.)
[Cyan] (Ember seems to prefer dark chocolate though, flavour, and the actual chocolate) Dark chocolate. \types\
[Cyan] Should I go highkey or lowkey. A small bouquet or a big one?
[Cyan] Do I buy real flowers or those synthetic ones, or maybe paper? \types options\
[Cyan] What color? \remembers\ Red, let's go with red. \types\
[Cyan] Should I just plan the whole week too?
[Cyan] (But that's such a pain!) \sighs\
[Cyan] Whole week... (Week, month.)
[Cyan] (One-month anniversary?) Eh, why not. we're brainstorming.
[Cyan] (What's a good plan for our first month.)\thinks\
[Cyan] A date? (Well thanks captain obvious. Any more ideas Cyan?)
*Silence, as the background Spotify fills the room.
[Cyan] (This song!) \Tap,tap,tap\ \sits down, takes a pen and taps the table\
[Cyan] (She's a dancer) So maybe a dance?
[Cyan] She said she had trouble with choreo right.
[Cyan] Should I do a dance "THAT WAY"? \flashbacks before college\
[Cyan] \thoughts refuse to not be said\ But "THAT WAY" is such a pain!
[Cyan] \whispers\ Come on do it for Ember.
[Cyan] (Ugh, I'll have to free up my calendar to practice though, and will we even last a month?)
[Cyan] But yeah, I guess "THAT WAY" doesn't care. \types "dance THAT WAY" on his phone\
*Cyan opens the app, clicks the song and sets it on repeat.
[Cyan] \plays music\ \Lies down and lays his phone flat on the bed\
[Cyan] \closes eye and imagine\ (tap-tap-tap,tap-tap,tap) \taps the air with a pen\
*After a few repeats.
[Cyan] \stretches as if ready to start the day and rise up\ Let's put that on hold for now.
*Cyan continues the morning.
[Cyan] Time to buy flowers.
*Cyan goes to the known gift center for couples.
-Couple Market-
.
*Cyan enters and looks for flowers.
*In front of a booth.
[Cyan] \touches\ Fuzzy wire flowers. (It's soft, but do I want this?) \drops\ (let's find another one)
*Next booth.
[Cyan] \confuse\ (A money bouquet) (This is too much, it's vibe is award, or anniversary)
*Next flower.
[Cyan] \touches\ (A glass flower? Should I buy a vase too?) (No.)
*Next booth
[Cyan] \holds string\ (A flower balloon) \imagines Ember holding a balloon\ (Cute?)
[Cyan] (I feel like she's going to hate me if I buy this though) \smiles\ (Yeah, maybe next time, for fun.)
*Looks around, spots something intriguing.
*Cyan walks towards, a cakeshop.
[Cyan] Bouquet cake or Bouqcake?
*Cyan saw something new, a literal cake, that's shape like a bouquet.
*On the display glass lies a cake, with wrappings similar to a bouquet.
*A ruffled paper-like material surrounding the cake.
*The flowers are set up with alternating meringue flowers and piped buttercream flowers. With even leaves and decorative stems.
*The leaves are also an alternating meringue and piped buttercream. And the decorative stems are chocolates.
[Cyan] That's interesting. but. \imagines bringing a cake to class\ (What if it falls? How would you store that?)
[Cyan] \randomly thought\ (Should I also bring a knife so we can give slices to our classmates?) \laughs\
[Cyan] (Yeah, this is for another time.) \snaps a picture and types the name of the shop\
*Cyan looks around again, finds another one.
*Cyan walks into an ice cream shop.
[Cyan] \looks closer\ Is this really ice cream?
*What Cyan saw was an ice cream cone, not filled with a normal scoop of ice cream.
*The scoop is shape thinly, sculpted into layers, until it resembles the petals of a flower.
*There was an ice cream sample that resembles a simple rose, and a carnation
[Cyan] \points to the ice cream\ (But how?),(This wouldn't last long without melting)
[Cyan] \imagines bringing a cooler to store the ice cream. And giving Ember ice cream throughout the day\ (Yeah, no.)
[Cyan] (Maybe for a photo, a date.) \types the shop's name\
*Cyan continues his stroll. He finds flowers made of paper or origami flowers, and plastic flowers.
*Cyan even found a foldable flower gift card.
[Cyan] \tired\ The market for flowers is much more diverse than I thought. \sighs\
[Cyan] (So many choices, I don't know what to choose)
[Cyan] \ponders for a while\
[Cyan] Let's choose the real one. (Afterall, there's plenty of opportunities to give flowers.)
*Cyan searches for a flower shop which sells real flowers, but ended with an ironic hunch from the universe.
[Cyan] \gets closer \ An umbrella bouquet?
[Cyan] Isn't that too much world? \a surprise chuckle\
*Cyan skips the umbrella.
*Cyan finally found the shop he is looking for.
[Bouquet Seller] Found something you like, tell me, who is the lucky one?
[Cyan] My new girlfriend. \smiles\
[Bouquet Seller] (New!) I see, then what I would suggest is something like this. \takes a bouquet and shows\
[Cyan] \looks\ What about that one \points\
[Bouquet Seller] \looks at what Cyan pointed\
*Cyan pointed a large bouquet almost half of human-size.
[Bouquet Seller] \speechless\ Uhm. (I want you to come back. And I don't think you'll come back if I sell you that.)
[Bouquet Seller] Customer, that is for special events. It's very beautiful but it's annoying to carry. You might even carry it yourself all day.
[Cyan] (Oh, yeah. I don't want that) Okay, I'll follow your recommendation.
[Bouquet Seller] Excellent choice.
*After further discussions on flower and color.
[Bouquet Seller] \gives bouquet\ Thank you! Come back and tell us what she thinks. We prioritize customer satisfaction.
[Cyan] Okay. \replies and walks away\
[Cyan] \looks at the bouquet\ Yeah, this should be good. \smiles\
*Cyan bought a normal, medium bouquet, something that can be carried with one hand, but still can be held by two.
*Nothing too grand, but not really small either.
[Cyan] \realizes\ (The swirls of whipped cream on top of a coffee look like a flower too, huh?)
