@biggergiants​ asked: chocolate making and baking were not things he was good at. doing things with his hands, sure; he can create a board like the best of them and that’s when the idea sparks in his mind, leading to days on end making her own board. the wheels are inspired by those in rollerblades, the design in pinks and purples, sakura petals intricately drawn onto the surface. so when he finally hands her a large box on white day at the skatepark, he can only hope she likes it. “UH - happy white day!”

     With White Day falling on a Sunday this year as well, she'll be getting her return gifts tomorrow at school, and it’ll be a nice way of distracting herself from the fact that she’ll probably be spending her first birthday in Okinawa alone. But even if tomorrow’s anxiety is more of less taken care of, today’s is still going, so she puts on her rollerblades and heads out to clear her minds. Alice would be lying if she said a certain sunshiny person hadn’t been populating her thoughts, or that heading to the skatepark didn’t have anything to do with the possibility of meeting him. And when she sees him there, it feels a little bit like an early present from the universe. Rolling up to him with a smile, she stops when a large box is suddenly offered to her. “Oh. Thank you! It’s so big, though. What is it?” 

Bringing it over to one of the benches, she sits down and opens the lid, an audible gasp escaping her lips at the sight of a skate board! Her own board! So pink and cute and flowery! Taking it out, she notices how the wheels are different from what she’s seen on his board and even Langa-kun’s. “Is this really for me, Reki-kun..?” She finds his gaze looking like a child at Christmas, full of awe and wonder as she holds the board preciously to her chest. “Did you make it?” She’d seen him fiddling with their boards before, but actually constructing one start to finish? That’s amazing!

     Her cheeks bloom with warmth as he accepts the gift, a timid smile tipping her lips at the way her heart is racing. All the nervousness of and embarrassment of waiting there and wondering if she looked silly to anyone walking by was worth it just to see him. Until he asks if it’s for Langa. Her brows furrow in confusion, head tilting to the side slightly. “Wha- no.” She answers straight away. The thought of asking someone else to deliver a gift on her behalf - especially asking a boy to deliver valentine’s chocolates to another boy - would have never ever even crossed her mind. And the fact that he would jump to that conclusion at all shows that she has her work cut out for her.
