Synesthesia Petals
Suzurikawa Sayuki's

   “Tu-wait! Ki-we're going where?”

   “Love hotel.”

   “Tu-wait!? You're serious!?”

After I pulled his arm and walked towards the park. Now the two of us took a short break and sat down on the elongated wooden garden chair. Unexpectedly, from earlier I did not feel any danger from Suzurikawa who would hit me.

For some reason, he was like a different person and not as usual. Especially, at this time Suzurikawa wore a casual dress in the form of a white dress with a knee-length lacy skirt. A rare moment like this cannot be left alone, I am truly impressed.

   “I don't know your purpose, but .. This I do to pay my debt to you.”

Suzurikawa on the right. I could not reply to his words, so the heat was stinging made me lazy to have a conversation.

   “Suzurikawa senpai, wait here. I bought some drinks first.”

I said as I got out of my seat. Suzurikawa nodded her head and let me. Looking to the left side, there is a vending machine that is not too far from me. I walked leisurely while walking under the shadow of a tree branch.

Arriving, immediately insert some coins according to the price of the drink I will buy. The vending machine is equipped with a cooler, buying two canned coffees of cappucino flavor that Suzurikawa likes.

When finished, immediately return to the place where Suzurikawa was sitting pensively. I called her name, she turned to me and showed me her little smile.

Gawat, lest I enter Suzurikawa's comfort zone so that the relationship between senior and junior can become higher. Yeah, what I'm talking about is senior and junior relationships being boyfriends.

Even so, I am not a jerk who is as good as his will toying with the heart of a woman. Despite doing the fighting that made them misbehave, this behavior of mine was only so that the women I knew were more familiar and regarded me as a false hope-giver.

Yeah, I'm fine being treated like that. But, they will think of ourselves as interesting and considerate and occasionally untrustworthy. Rest assured, because what we do is in accordance with what we want.

   “Suzurikawa senpai, this.”

I said while giving him one canned coffee flavored cappucino. He was quite surprised because the canned coffee I bought was cold, I apologize if he didn't like it. But ... he forgave me while staring at the canned coffee held using both hands. Right now, my soul immediately reacted.

Sitting to his left, we both opened the can lid and drank it. Cold coffee is delicious to drink during the day. The taste of cappucino coffee that I rarely drink, now I know the taste that Suzurikawa likes will be sweet hidden bitter taste.

   “Alright, we go to love hotel.”

I said when Suzurikawa drank canned coffee. He choked on my sudden statement. I apologized while rubbing his back.

   “You okay?”

   “Yes, Kanari .. Why do you always flirt with women? You're like play boy.”

   “Only one, make a woman happy and then take away her sadness. Ironic destination, maybe Suzurikawa senpai thinks I'm a dick.”

I said as I humbled myself and sat down. Looking to the right side, Suzurikawa showed an inverted reaction. He seemed interested in what I said, seen from the look in his eyes that were directly on me.

   “Canary is different from the others. You're always nice to women, act cool, and then make other people laugh. I thought Kanari was better than you imagined. Rarely is there anyone like you.”

Woah, I didn't think he would clearly talk about me if briefly it could be said to be a play boy. Inhale for a while then keep the canned coffee on the left side. The two of us looked at each other then I held her right hand using both of my hands.

   ”Thank you Senpai, for believing in someone like me.”

This speech and behavior of mine might get me all beaten up. However, Suzurikawa showed a confused face with reddish blushing cheeks. Releasing his hand, grabbed the canned coffee that was beside me and then drank it slowly.

   “True too, Suzurikawa senpai, are you off today? It seems your part-time work is quite tiring. Do you eat regularly?”

   “Of course I eat regularly, I like my job. Ever since we met at that family restaurant. You're with Amagase, I'm pretty nervous because I thought you were Amagase.”'s girlfriend

   “There's no way I could be Kazari senpai's girlfriend. I will be quite tormented, even though she is beautiful and has a lot of fans. After all, I was familiar with him only because of a minor incident. After that, I became a food beggar to prop up the stomach when the break began.”

   “It seems, the problem between the two of us is quite troublesome.”

   “You're right, we continue our date.”

Get out of my seat, extend my right hand and show me my little smile. Slowly, Suzurikawa showed her small smile to return my smile. He took my right hand, I pulled him and went on this never planned date.

My goal right now is to go have fun with Suzurikawa. Since it was a hot afternoon, we both agreed to go to the big aquarium.

We both went to the train station. The atmosphere in the train is quite quiet, because weekends like this must be people spend time at home and outside. Different when the atmosphere in the morning, inevitably crammed with others who make stuffy.

Arriving at the large aquarium, he bought two tickets for me and Suzurikawa. I treat it, besides the money I carry at this time is quite a lot and never thought by me of economic difficulties. You know, there were some former thieves, pickpockets, and thugs who gave me money after they were convicted.

The cold atmosphere inside this large aquarium area made me calm, as did Suzurikawa. He enjoyed it while looking at some fish he had never seen, saw it happy and forgot his sadness for a while was quite satisfying.

   “Canary, look! That's turtle! There's turtles! Ah!? That fish is so beautiful!”

Suzurikawa looks really happy. I only responded to each of his words with a small smile. He pulled my arm, we both went to the dolphin show that was going to be held.

Sitting in the middle, if too front certainly splashed water. Since Suzurikawa didn't realize it, I chose the place in the middle as a safe place to continue this dating event. If his clothes got wet, it would be quite troublesome.

It is quite fun to see this tourist attraction. Dolphins are trained, but it makes me sad because they are not free in the high seas. Twenty minutes later, the two of us left this place and walked down a dark hallway.

   “Suzurikawa senpai, I'm hungry. Can we have lunch first?”

   “True too, I forgot because it's the first time this .. I can play wholeheartedly.”

When she said it, she showed her little smile. Turning my face away, I could not look at her cute and pretty face. Fortunately Suzurikawa was not suspicious of me, she was confused because I suddenly turned my face away from embarrassment.

*Briggs

A little boy with hair that was about seven years old hit me from behind. I saw his hand holding the ice cream, but the ice cream went nowhere. The cold felt on my ass, the ice cream stuck to my pants.

Turning around, looking at him sharply and he began to fear almost crying. Raising my right hand, grabbed him quite slowly and he started crying.

Performing a small talk while stopping her crying. Give him one sheet of money that has a high nominal price. I told him to spend the money I gave him, otherwise I'd have to go back.

Fortunately, the mother of the child had just arrived while approaching us both from behind.

   “Mother, I was given money by this great Brother.”

Say the little boy and then show me the money I gave you. Suddenly, the mother was surprised at the nominal money I gave. He apologized for bothering me, I refused his apology because there was nothing wrong here.

The mother and child left. I sighed long enough, turned around and Suzurikawa watched me closely.

   “Canari, are you a good or bad person?”

   “Both of them, we go from here.”

* * * * *

We went to the nearest family restaurant in the area and cleaned up the ice cream stains that were stuck in my pants. After all, after this we intend to go home by using the previous train.

Lunch with the senior was fun. I treat, because the money I bring is not exhausted but instead increases. Spending the apple juice drink I ordered, Suzurikawa took a moment to go to the toilet.

Put back the glass I was holding. Looking to the left side of the road, on the sidewalk there were two people I knew walking while talking about something. The look in my eyes widened, I was shocked and my brain began to be confused about reality.

How else, the two people I saw were Kazari and Suzurikawa who were wearing school uniforms. Immediately, get out of your seat and get out of the family restaurant. Chasing after the two seniors, I called the two of them to stop waiting for my arrival.

   “Koala? What are you doing here?”

Kazari asked as I took a breath from the tightness of running to where the two of them were. I looked at Suzurikawa's face, she started to get confused and clear from her face.

   “Suzurikawa senpai, I thought you were in the toilet.”

   “Toilet? Wait a minute, I've been with Amagase since noon. What's wrong?”

The question from Suzurikawa made me even more confused. Grabbing my smart phone, call Suzurikawa who previously wore casual clothes in the form of a lacy white dress.

My phone was picked up, but Suzurikawa who was in front of me fell silent without holding her phone. Suzurikawa's voice was very clear in my ears, but it was getting weird.

   “Lalu ... Suzurikawa Senpai who was with me since earlier ... who?”
