No.
Because for some inexplicable reason he had this attachment to Kurumi that will make this as awkward and uncomfortable for him as possible. He didn't even know how he felt about her or anything. He just liked her as a sister, nothing more. At least he knew that, right?
Still, he paced back and forth the Trophy Room before setting his eyes on the two Quidditch Cups that Hufflepuff had won over the time when Kaika was Captain. He couldn't help but look down for a moment. She'd actually fulfilled what was expected from her position in the school. He wasn't.
That wasn't easy.
It's probably like Gilderoy felt for having such a great Wizard as a brother, no? When he had his memory and whole life ahead of him.
Kurumi nervously made her way through the various corridors with her hands held behind her back. she didn’t want to ruin the surprise she was hiding – not that she was even sure that Treyen was in the mood for surprises. His tone when he had asked her to meet him in the Trophy Room had not been the most cheerful and the usual sparkle that she saw in his smile and eyes was a little dim. About a billion different things ran through her head as to why he looked so confused or whatever expression had been written all over his face. Perhaps his future career depended on his Arithmancy grade improving? Or perhaps he was going to tell her that he had been bitten by a werewolf? Or, there was the chance that he was FINALLY going to admit to being the first full-blood male Veela.
Turning the corner, Kurumi saw Treyen already there waiting for her and a naïve smile tickled the corners of her lips as she picked up her pace a bit and stopped when she was just a foot or two away from him.
“
S-S-Sorry I kept you waiting,” she chirped peeking over her shoulder to make sure that the contents in her hands hadn’t shifted too much during her trip from the Herbology greenhouses. She had been busy making it all morning – although with a few others for friends and her father – but Treyen’s had taken the most effort in terms of thinking things through. “
These are for you,” she continued as her hands moved from behind her back to out in front of her. It wasn’t a very big bouquet, consisting of only one of each of the flowers, but it was the thought that counted, right?
Kurumi offered him the bouquet with a smile on her face and a slight blush to her cheeks. She wasn’t sure how much he knew about flowers, but seeing as he shared more than a few personality traits with her brothers, she figured that he wasn’t really up to speed on his language of flowers. “
The one purple flower is Polyanthus, which means confidence, the yellow one here is Goldenrod which means encouragement, this one is a Geranium which means comforting in this case because of the color,” she began to explain as she pointed to each one in turn. “
This long leaf one is Flax and means…fate or feeling another’s kindness…” Her cheeks burned a bit deeper pink as her violet gaze stopped on the last flower in the bunch. “
And this one…this one is Foxglove…which means a wish…”
She had to turn her gaze down to the floor and presented the flowers towards her Badger Prince with a slight bow – the same manner in which she presented gifts to people back home in Japan. It may have come off as being extremely formal, but it was the only way she knew how to show her appreciation to him.
“
I-I guess this is just a small way for me to say thank you for…for making me feel confident in myself and always encouraging me…” she bit her bottom lip before she let anything else slip out. Which, unfortunately, only lasted about three seconds. "
You make me feel special like no one else I've ever met has."
