Blossoming Flowers (Kari/Toshiro)

[BladeRunner]

Graduation day... Joy...

The car ride to the highschool was one of complete chatter for most. Between a mix of boys and girls it was safe to say there was excitement in the air, energies excited, which further led of jokes and happier attitudes. It was a pretty good day in the city too with cool to slowly colder weather but the cloudless sunny skies made for a warmer feel. Of course, for one individual, it was already annoying to all hell... 

Toshiro East in the passenger seat of a small fucking Hummer Limousine of all things, and for what reason?! Kyouka and Teru's graduation. The eldest brother of the family, Takamo, was a wealthy enough man to easily afford the fancy black and silver trimmed vehicle for a good day or two, and for such a simple occasion. However it was the two aforementioned individuals he was going out of his way to celebrate. With Teru and Kyouka they were graduating with honors and had their foot in the door to get into any college program, between sports, class rep programs, fundraising, and a variety of other shenanigans a high schooler would need for jobs that paid well. 

And unfortunately, Toshiro had to be in the middle of it, he didn't like the attention drawn to him and while the man could've stayed home he chose not to. It'd be a dick move to miss out of his youngest brother's and family friend's graduation. He sighed, tightening and loosening the tie to his black suit with a single hand out of both boredom and annoyance. Finally as they were just a mile out from the school, he gave a side glancing glare at Takamo who was also wearing a suit. The eldest returned a side glance from the driver's seat, his smirk turning into a mischievous smile. 

"You really had to go all out... Why on God's green Earth you did this I'll never understand..." Toshiro mutters leaning his head against his fist. 

Takamo responded on a chipper tone, "C'mon! Brighten up there, sport! After all you shouldn't have made that bet-" 

"From ten years ago, Takamo?! Dude, you hold onto bets and grudges like an old lady with a coupon." Toshiro interjected as the vehicle now entered the confines of the bustling school parking lot. 

And already, Toshiro could feel the attention the group was gaining from other kids and adults that were headed toward the main yard. His third eye definitely didn't help matters given that he could read people, which blows. Sighing, once the vehicle was parked off to the side in the grass, he opened the passenger door with little patience. The man's always been like this, with Toshiro being more no-nonsense and Takamo being a smooth and cheeky dick waffle he was, older of the two always made things more interesting. By interesting, he always seemed to show off or invest in luxury goods, such as the limousine and the suits. 

As the duo exited the vehicle, they opened a door on either side with eleven individuals stepping out in caps and gowns, two of which was Teru who seemed relaxed as ever and Kyouka who was fired up... God please let it be a normal day. Toshiro closed the door after the last Kyouka's friends exited the vehicle and turned to Teru to see the young man already getting impatient. The eldest brother jerked his head signalling for him to go, and of course, off he went quickly with his friends. 

"Lock the car?" Toshiro asked Takamo as the rest of the group went onto join the rest of the graduates. 

Takamo scoffed sarcastically saying, "Me? Lock the car? In this neighborhood?! Why, I never! Yes, I locked it." 

And like that, the pair would start making their way toward the crowd of people and chairs...

Kari was in the school getting ready. She had a long night as her mother and father were busy with work and completely forgot graduation was today. She looked at herself in the school bathroom mirror her make up had ran a bit. No one would watch her walk the stage or cheer for her. She was graduating with honors but nothing to show for it since all the scholarships went to other people. She washed her face looking at herself. She seems so plain compare to rest of students. She had worked very hard after meaning that knight a few months back.

Kari took a deep breathe as she dried her face and redid her light makeup and fixed her brown hair. Her hazel eyes looked so exhausted as she smiled weakly before putting her graduation gown on. She had her cords for her high honors. She had been chosen as the valid victorian to give the speak for graduation. She had it in her dress pocket. She walked outside the light spring breeze making her hair dance behind her with every quite step. She was silently rehearsing her speech in head as she came around to the fornt of the school.
