-@Cyan
[CYAN] \Looking at the mirror\
*Cyan checks if something is wrong.
*He checks the fold on his clothes, pants, and the look of his hair.
[CYAN] That should do it. \he says to himself in the mirror\
*Cyan takes the bouquet he had bought yesterday.
*Cyan passes by 7/11 and bought Ember's dark chocolate.
[Cyan] (How many should I buy?) \ponders\ Let's just buy a whole pack.
*Cyan takes out one package of dark chocolate and goes to the checkout counter.
[Cyan] I'll take this.
*Pays.
[Cyan] \looks at his watch\ (Still have time before class. Let's go to the main pavilion.)
*Cyan goes to the pavilion and takes a seat.
*[Cyan] \opens and removes the bouquet cover\ (Did It get damage?) \he checks, carefully smoothing any creases he can find and adjusting tilted flowers\
*Cyan prepared the bouquet in a way he can give as soon as he sees Ember.
*Cyan then carefully puts the bouquet on the seat beside him.

-@Ember
[Ember] \looks at the mirror\ \fixes her hair\ Time for school.
[Ember] \takes a deep breath\ I can finally talk to him.
*Walking.
[Ember] (But, what do I do when I see him? What do I say?)
[Ember] Hey, about last Saturday, you forgot to ask for my contact info. \says in a sarcastic tone\
[Ember] (But, I also didn't ask his contact info.) \sighs\
[Ember] (I'm getting annoyed.)
[Ember] (Today started bad, why did we forget to exchange contacts.) \sighs\
*Ember walks to school repeating and rehearsing the perfect complaint for Cyan.
*Ember enters the gates, walks and sees Cyan sitting at the usual spot in the main pavilion.
[Ember] (There he is, sitting at the same spot I found him.) (Ugh I feel even more annoyed.)
[Ember] (I know we didn't exchange contact info, and I can't be contacted but still.) (Ugh, don't be mad, Ember.)
*Ember walks closer to Cyan, until he reaches a spot in front of him.
*Ember plants her foot, ready to rant in a sharp tone. Not trying to hide her voice laced with frustration.
[Ember] Hey! Cyan, we should really talk about \Ember gets cut off by something\
*In front of Ember, between her and Cyan, blocking her view. Cyan holds out the bouquet.
[Ember] (What's this?) \backs off to see what's so close to her face\ (Flowers?...Flowers!)
*The velvety red of red roses lit by the morning sun. It brought a familiar feel to mind: spring.
[Cyan] Hold on, \takes the box of chocolates and hands it to Ember's hand\
*Ember's hands were busy holding the bouquet and only felt the bump.
[Ember] \takes what Cyan gave and raises her hand\ Dark chocolates? \smiles\
[Ember] \Stares at Cyan and stares back at the bouquet\
[Ember] \brushes her hand on the damp texture of the petals\
*The rich, complex fragrance of fresh-cut roses hit her face with a perfume that drowned out her thoughts, replacing them with pure emotions.
[Ember] \puts her face closer to the flowers and slightly hugs the bouquet\
[Cyan] (I'm glad she doesn't look mad anymore.) \smiles and stares at the standing Ember\
[Cyan] (Ember really looks good with Red.) (What was she about to say again? I don't know?)
*Cyan breaks the silence.
[Cyan] Good morning Ember.
[Ember] \hears Cyan and glance at him\,\glances back to the flowers, then to a chair and takes a seat\
*Keeping the bouquet between Ember and Cyan, Ember uses the bouquet as a shield.
*The knot of uncertainty, the rehearsed words, the anxiety, all of it fades and disappears. Replaced only by warmth.
[Ember] (Flowers? For me? It's pretty.) \blushes\
[Ember] (Did he plan all this? I'm not sure) \grins at the flowers\
*silence
[Cyan] Uhm, so don't I get a good morning too?
[Ember] \hears Cyan and stares at him\ (The dull morning is bright now. Cyan is smiling.)
[Ember] \gaze right\ (The morning light, shining over the grass, the pavement, the walls, the buildings.)
[Ember] \turns left and observes\ (The noise of fellow students seems suddenly distant, almost quiet.) \returns\
[Ember] \sees Cyan\ (And Cyan, with a slight shimmering glow in the daylight.)
[Ember] \smiles widely and says\
[Ember] It's indeed a good morning Cyan \:>\
*Ember looks at the flowers some more.
[Ember] (It's even fresh flowers.) \smiles some more\
*Ember's heart begins to beat faster.
*Cyan stares at Ember, no longer wanting to disturb.
*Cyan just stares at the morning Ember.
[Cyan] \mesmerized\
[Ember] (Plus points Cyan.)
