“Woah…so pretty! Hey, Hant, let’s go!” Saki said as Renn finished parking Ginjiro near a field of flowers. 

“Lunch is fairly soon,” Renn said lightly, smiling as Hant looked out the window, a look of awe on his face. “Be back for it.” 

“Okay! Come on, Hant!” 

There were so many different wild flowers, and it didn’t take long for Hant to grab some and start weaving them together, prompting Saki to do the same. 

“Hey, we should make some for the whole team!” Saki said once hers was on her head. 

“Yeah! Too bad there isn’t enough colors for each person, but…” Hant shrugged, grabbing a new flower. “I’ll make it for Gunpei and Renn.” 

“And I’ll do the Wings! We can make Sosuke’s together, yeah?” 

Hant nodded, his tongue poking out in concentration as he wove flowers together. It was a fairly quick process, so once they were all made, they headed back, finding the team—including the Wings—gathered around the table for lunch. In silent agreement, they snuck up behind Sosuke, dropping his elaborate flower crown on his head before placing the other crowns on the respective Go-Ongers. 

“Oh, what’s this?” Renn asked, reaching up and touching the crown gently. “Thank you, you two! Now come eat.” 

“Yes, Mom,” Saki teased, skipping to her spot as Hant did the same.

“Yamato?” 

Yamato looked up from his book. “Yes Tusk, what is it?” 

“Do you know how to make these ‘flower crowns’?” 

“Yeah, I do, why?” Yamato asked, bemused. 

“It was in this book.” 

“Oh…I see. Did you…want to make some? It’s not hard.” 

“Are we making something?” Amu asked, coming in with Sela and Leo. 

Yamato stood up, stretching and smiling at Tusk. “Yeah, we’re going to make flower crowns, want to come?” 

Clearly intrigued, Amu nodded, which meant the other two Zyumans were of course coming. Yamato sent a text to Misao to inform him where they’d be, just in case. 

“Come on, there’s a field nearby.” 

Once there, Amu and Leo started acting like the cats they were, which left the actual crown making to Yamato, Tusk, and Sela. Yamato, Sela, Leo, and Amu had their colors in this particular field, while there was enough greenery to make a crown for Tusk as well. 

“Hey everyone!” Misao said, a bucket of fish in his hands. 

“Oh hey, Misao. I was just making a crown for you, is that for lunch?” Yamato said cheerfully. He had made Misao’s crown a rainbow of all the other colors, which nearly made Misao cry as Yamato placed it on his head. 

“Yes, this is lunch, if that’s okay,” Misao said once he had calmed down. 

“Sounds perfect. Come on guys, let’s go eat!” 

The Zyumans cheered, following the two humans back to Mario’s place, crowns on their head like the monarchs they were.

Sonoi opened a door at random, finding himself in a field of flowers, Sononi and Sonoza already there. 

“What are you two doing here?” he asked, noticing that the two of them were looking at something in Sononi’s hands. 

“Making flower crowns,” Sononi answered, accepting a flower from Sonoza but tossing it away after a careful inspection. 

“Hey!” Sonoza protested. 

“It was too wilted,” Sononi explained primly. 

“I see that, but why?” Sonoi asked. 

“Haruka wanted some as inspiration for her manga,” Sonoza replied as he found a different flower for Sononi, handing it over once he picked it. 

“I thought I could give one to Tsubasa,” Sononi said, accepting the flower this time. “Don’t you think this looks good?” She held out the crown to show Sonoi. 

It did look good, although Sonoi couldn’t figure out why Inuzuka Tsubasa would want one. 

“We could help you make one for Momoi Tarou, if you want.” Sononi offered. “There’s red flowers over there, and it isn’t hard.” 

“Why would Tarou want flowers?” Sonoi asked, flustered. 

“Then make it for art,” Sononi said with a roll of her eyes. Sonoza did some frantic shrugging. 

“...fine.” 

(Tarou found the crown in his work car, putting it on over his hat after his coworkers teased him, slipping the card with the Nouto symbol into his pocket.)

“Ankh, come on,” Eiji said, frustrated. 

“No! It’s idiotic!” Ankh snapped. 

“Is Anko being disagreeable again?” Date asked, smiling at Gotou, who looked mortified at being caught in his current get up. 

“But you’d look so cute, Ankh-chan!” Chiyoko said with a pout.

“What are we doing with Ankh?” Hina asked, coming in for her shift, which was replacing Gotou’s. 

“He won’t wear the flower crown, even though that’s the only part of the costume I want him in,” Chiyoko explained, showing an orange flower crown to Hina. 

“I’ll give you three popsicles,” Eiji wheedled. 

Ankh considered the offer, then grabbed the flower crown off of Eiji’s head. 

“I’ll wear this one if I have to do it at all,” he said with a sniff. “Considering it’s the only one in a sensible color.” He put it on his head at a very crooked angle before stalking off to the ice cream freezer.

Eiji accepted the orange flower crown from Chiyoko. “We should have offered him the red one to him in the first place.” 

They all looked at Ankh, who had sat down with one of his claimed popsicles, the rose crown shedding petals everywhere. 

“Well, all’s well that ends well, huh? But you look cuter, Gotou-chan!” Date said cheerfully.

“Date-san!”

“Wow, this field is super pretty! Lucky!” 

“No, it is not lucky, considering we crashed, Lucky!” Raptor said in frustration. Spada put a comforting hand on her shoulder. 

“I mean, it’s Lucky, he’s gonna find materials for parts, just watch,” Hammie said with a shrug. 

“Kyulette Chance!” Shou called. “For parts we can use, as Hammie said.”

It ended up being Lucky, Garu, Champ, Naga, Shou, and Tsurugi on the mission, leaving Raptor to fix what she could while the other five members explored the field of flowers of all sorts of colors, Spada making sure she’d be okay on her own before leaving with the rest of them.

“I’ve never seen a naturally black flower, or ones this blue,” Kotaro remarked. 

“How about silver and gold?” Balance asked cheerfully, holding up a fistful of flowers in said colors. 

“Not without them being being artificial,” Kotaro said. 

“Hehe, I’m gonna make Naga a crown, won’t he be cute?” 

“Oh, bueno! That’s a good idea,” Spada said. “Raptor would appreciate that!” He looked through the flowers, finding all sorts of pink ones. 

“Woah, Aniki, you’re good at this,” he heard Kotaro say, glancing up to see Stinger blush as he easily braided flowers into a crown. “Teach me!” 

Stinger obliged, finding light blue flowers and patiently showing Kotaro his method.

“Green flowers, for once,” Hammie said as she put flowers into her hair, not bothering with a crown. 

“Should we make them for the rest of the team?” Balance asked, a silver crown already on his head. “I already finished Naga’s, after all.” 

“Up to you,” Spada replied, carefully getting his flowers together. 

It didn’t take very long for him to get engrossed, not even noticing when Balance plopped a crown on his head, nor when the team came back with materials that Raptor could use. Not even Lucky being loud made him break his concentration, too busy trying to make sure his crown was perfect for Raptor. 

By the time he was done, his other teammates were all asleep in the sunshine, Garu covered in what looked like nine crowns, no doubt the work of Lucky. 

“There you guys are,” Raptor said from behind him, startling him. “Ship’s fixed.” 

“Ah, amore! Come here, I made this for you!” Spada beamed, carefully placing the flower crown on Raptor’s head. Her fingers went up to touch, stopping right before they could accidentally crush the flowers. 

“Thank you, Spada!” she said. “I’ll make sure to preserve it once we get back! Are you going to nap too?” 

Since it did sound nice, Spada accepted the offer, carefully putting his hat and crown he hadn’t noticed next to him before lying down next to Raptor, falling asleep easily with Raptor’s hand in his.

Hikaru lied down, shielding his face from the sun. 

“Hikaru, come on!” Arisa scolded. “How is Sakuya-chan going to learn to fight properly if you’re just lying down?” 

“We could use a break, Arisa-san,” Hikaru said, giving one of his best smiles. “Just for a few minutes.” 

Sakuya nodded. “Please, Arisa-san!” 

Arisa considered it, visibly relenting. “Fine, ten minutes.” 

“Thank you, Arisan-san!” Hikaru and Sakuya chorused. Hikaru stayed like that for another minute before sitting up and realizing they were in a field of flowers. He quickly grabbed some, making a crown with ease and placing it on Sakuya’s head. 

“Hey, how do you do that?” Sakuya asked, taking it off and admiring it. 

“Oh, it’s easy,” Hikaru said. He showed her how to weave the flowers together, the Victorian picking it up quickly. 

They made crowns together until the break was over, keeping them on their heads, much to Arisa’s amusement.

Tsurugi found Yagumura and Kageyama in a field, staring at the sky. 

“HELLO FRIENDS, I HAVE BECOME THE ONE WHO STANDS AT THE TOP OF MAKING FLOWER CROWNS!” he announced. 

“Have you now,” muttered Yagumura. 

“Should we leave, Aniki?” 

The two of them looked at Tsurugi, who was heavily concentrating on making a flower crown out of the many dandelions in the field. 

“Those flowers represent us, don’t they? They thought they were on the path of Heaven, but once they blossom, they go down to Hell in the wind,” Yagumura mused. 

“One done!” Tsurugi announced. It was a terrible flower crown, but he placed it on Kageyama’s head all the same, beaming his “I’m the best” smile at the two of them. “Two to go!” 

“Let’s go, Aibou,” Yagumura sighed, about to take the crown off but noticing that Kageyama was holding on to it. Well, he could have it for now. It would wither down to Hell with them all the same.

“G’DAY MATES!” Kiriya greeted the CR. 

“Mortician. I see you are back from Australia,” Hiiro said stiffly. 

“Yeah, that conference was insane, here you go, got you all some souvenirs!” Kiriya cheerfully plopped a flower crown of fake flowers on Hiiro’s head, teleporting and doing the same to Parad, Poppy, Nico, and Taiga. “Where’s Ace?” 

“He has an appointment, I’d assume,” Taiga said, taking off the flower crown and looking at it in bewilderment. “Where’d you even get these? And why?” 

“Secret! Ah, Ace, there you are!” 

As Poppy tried to say her thanks, Kiriya guided Emu to the main table. “Got you a bunch of souvenirs, hope you like ‘em!” 

He gave Emu a big gift bag. 

“Oooh, what’s in it? I pet pit’s exciting!” Poppy bounced over. 

Emu took out the first thing, a silly, touristy shirt that said “emu crossing” with a silhouette of the bird. Then a plush of the bird. A blanket with an emu print. A baseball cap with both a printed logo and an enamel pin of an emu.

“Kiriya-san…” 

“Couldn’t resist! It’s all you!” He placed one last flower crown on Emu’s head. “Anyways, gotta go get some rest, even Bugsters cannot escape all the woes of jet lag, apparently!” 

He teleported out of the room, leaving everyone in slightly stunned silence. 

“Emu the emu,” Nico sounded out, before bursting into laughter. 

Chapter Text

The thing about being engaged to one Candelira, not that Nossan minded in the slightest, was that she had a tendency to make crowns about it. She would remember that they were finally getting married and grab anything on hand and make a crown about it, placing it on whomever was nearby. 

Nossan was amassing quite the collection of flower crowns, and he’d head to his jobs with them on his head, making everyone amused and glad as he happily proclaimed he was getting married soon. 

Chapter Text

It was a beautiful day, and Airi wanted to take advantage of it, in her own way. 

“Ozaki-kun, Miura-kun, could you do me a favor?” 

As usual, her two most dedicated customers were more than happy to help. 

“What can we do to help you, Airi-san?” Ozaki asked, hands on Miura’s shoulders as he leaned over him, ignoring the swatting Miura was giving him. 

“Get me some flowers, please. The kind that are easy to make into flower crowns, so long stems…” 

The two straightened, Ozaki saluting before they left in a flurry. 

“Ryou-chan, it’s late, time to wake up,” she called into his general direction after realizing she hadn’t seen her brother yet. 

There was a crashing noise and then a weak “Coming”, causing her to sigh and get out the ingredients for a nice healthy drink. 

More customers came in before she was able to make the drink, the usual time for the morning rush, which meant that Ryoutarou’s drink had to wait. 

She lost track of time as the beans worked, Ryoutarou disappearing for a while before coming to help. 

Once the rush ended, Ozaki and Miura came back in, arms full of flowers, Miura’s hat askew and Ozaki sporting a smudge of dirt on his cheek. 

“Here’s your flowers, Airi-san!” Ozaki said proudly, nudging Miura away from the counter. 

“Oh, how lovely!” she said as she inspected the various flowers. 

“You said you’re making flower crowns, Airi-san?” Miura asked. 

“Mhm,” she replied vaguely, already in the process of the making one, humming as she did so. 

“You’re good at that,” Osaki admired, beaming when Airi put the completed crown on his head. 

Miura pouted, but it wasn’t too long before he had one as well, placed over his hat. 

“Ryou-chan,” she called out. 

“Yes?” Ryoutarou asked, coming out of storage covered in flour. 

“Ryoutarou-kun, not again!” Ozaki exclaimed. 

“Here, Ryou-chan, a crown,” Airi said, ignoring the flour and putting flowers on her brother’s head. Unfortunately, the flowers of that particular crown were full of pollen, making Ryoutarou go into a sneezing fit so intense Miura called the spirits.

“Hey! What should we do today?” Right asked from the treehouse, shouting down to the other four. 

“Ooh! Ooh! I learned how to make flower crowns yesterday, let’s do that!” Kagura said, bouncing up and down. 

“That sounds fun!” Right said enthusiastically, coming down and nearly falling onto Hikari, who scowled and pushed him into Tokacchi. 

The five of them made their way to the nearby flower field, holding hands, Kagura and Right singing at the top of their lungs while the other three sang at more normal volumes. 

“How do we do the flower crowns, Kagura?” Tokacchi asked once they were there, thumbing his glasses up. 

“First, we gotta pick the flowers, they should have longer stems cause then it’s easier,” Kagura said authoritatively. 

They scrambled around, Mio the last one to find flowers she declared satisfactory. 

“Okay, you guys ready? It’s really easy!” Kagura said, showing the others how to do it to the best of her ability. Hikari and Mio caught on fairly quickly, Mio helping Tokacchi when he got too confused, while Hikari got a bit frustrated trying to help Right. 

Still, it didn’t take all that long for them to have flower crowns on their head, Tokacchi sneezing a bit. 

“I’m the queen of the tigers! Mio, you’re the queen of the lions, Hikari, you’re the king of the elephants, Tokacchi, you’re the king of the….sharks! And Right, you’re the king of the eagles!” Kagura declared. 

“Kings is good, but I wanna be king of the kuwagatas! Tokacchi, you be king of the dragonflies.” 

Mio looked intrigued. “I want to be queen of the praying mantises, then!” 

Hikari was a bit nonplussed. “Why kings?”

“We’re wearing crowns, aren’t we? I guess I could be the queen of the butterflies, but I wanna be a lion. Tokacchi, are you gonna be a shark or a dragonfly?” 

Tokacchi’s hand went up to the crown on his head. “Uh…what about a shark that turns into a dragonfly?” 

Right turned to him. “That’s a great idea! Okay, Hikari, that means you’re an elephant that turns into…bees!” 

It turned into an elaborate plot of kidnapping, treason, and shadow kings that lasted till dinner time.

“Kouta-san, what are you doing?” Micchi asked as he slid into the seat across from the other man. 

“Hmm? Oh, hey Micchi!” Kouta didn’t really look up from what he was doing, his tongue poking out of his mouth as he concentrated on his current task.

Micchi waved his hand in front of Kouta’s face. “Kouta-san?” 

“What is it?” 

“What are you doing?” 

“He’s making a mess,” Iyo supplied unhelpfully. 

Kouta put down the item he was holding and sighed. “Oh, you know. Still trying to find a job, so putting together fake flowers for now. They’re going to be crowns.”

Micchi didn’t really have a reply for that. Beat Riders only made so much via the dance battles, after all, and Team Gaim couldn’t find out who Micchi really was. 

“Do…do you want my help?” 

Kouta brightened. “ Would you? There’s instructions, here.” 

It wasn’t the worst way to pass the time, Micchi found, although Bando took one as payment for using his shop and making a mess.

“It’s finished!” Flint crowed out. 

Ricky and Cutanner came over in SD form, specifically for extra annoyance, Flint was reasonably sure. 

“Wow, Aneki, that’s gonna help out Aniki so much!” they said in unison. 

“It BETTER. I worked hard on this.” She smiled at the device one last time before observing her worktable in dismay. “So much scrap metal, though…” 

Well, that was a problem for Tomorrow Flint. Current Flint needed sleep. 

Having breakfast at Colorful gave Flint an idea, courtesy of Kaito and Stacey. A perfect way to use up the scrap metal, if she said so herself. 

She hummed as she shaped the metal, a half-forgotten love song from Kaizokutopia.

Three hours later, she was satisfied with her work and made her way back to Colorful, placing her creation on Magine’s head without saying anything. 

“Nu nu nu nu? What’s this?” Magine asked, hands going up but stopping before taking it off. “Can I?” 

“Sure, go ahead,” Flint replied, leaning on the counter with her chin in her hands. 

Magine gently took it off. “Oh! I love it! How beautiful!” 

Flint grinned, glad that her metal flower crown was well received.

Frankly, time was going both too slow and too fast for Gou. Too slow, because Chase still wasn’t back. Too fast, since Eiji was already four. 

“Uncle Gou! Uncle Gou!” Eiji sang as Gou came in, jumping in glee. 

“Thanks a ton, Gou,” Kiriko said gratefully. “I made bentos so you don’t have to worry about making him a lunch.” 

“We hafta eat bentos at the park,” Eiji declared. 

“Is that so?” Gou asked, bending down to ruffle Eiji’s hair. 

“Yes!” 

“It is a beautiful day, but he saying that because we always take bentos to the park.” 

“Sounds like a plan to me!” Gou said cheerfully, grabbing Eiji and throwing him on his shoulders, to Eiji’s delight. 

“Thanks again, Gou.” 

“No worries, we’ll have a grand ol’ time, won’t we, Eiji?” 

“Yeah!” 

It was a beautiful day, so there were a lot of families at the park near the Tomari family apartment. Gou and Eiji ate their bentos, then hung out at the playground, Gou watching Eiji climb everything. 

“Learn how to make pipe cleaner flower crowns! Only 500 yen per person!” someone started calling from the picnic benches. “Pipe cleaner flower crowns!” 

“Uncle Gou! Uncle Gou! Can we? Can we?” Eiji asked, having come down to tug at Gou’s sleeve. 

“Sure, give me a sec to get my wallet.” 

“Yay!! Crowns!!” 

“Two, please,” Gou said when they got to the picnic benches, handing over a bill. 

“Take any free spot, we’ll start in about five minutes.” 

Gou guided Eiji to a free spot next to another little boy, it taking all of thirty seconds for them to become friends. 

“Okay, everyone, we’re going to start! Please don’t touch the materials we’re handing out until we say so.” 

Since it was pipe cleaners, it was a pretty quick process, all things considered. Gou had to help Eiji a tiny bit, but his nephew was clearly pleased with his creation. 

Once they had made a few extra crowns for Eiji’s parents, they made their way home, Eiji back on Gou’s shoulders, Gou singing a slightly inappropriate song, crowns firmly on their heads.

“Hey Cap, what's all this?” Jetta asked, looking at all the fake flowers strewn all over the office. 

“The Little Miss said something about a part time job,” Juggler offered from Gai's usual spot, sounding bored.

“She needs them turned into crowns,” Gai explained, his fingers going at an inhuman speed as they deftly made the stems into desired shape, placing the finished one on Shin's head. Shin barely glanced up at the disturbance.

“Help me with them, Jetta, please?” Naomi asked, covered in fake petals.

“Sure,” Jetta agreed easily, slipping his bag off and taking the flowers from her hands. “Do you get to keep any?”

*~Ishabana Ball~* 

Requirements: Flower Crown (Any Material) 

The invitation read. 

“A flower crown?” Gira asked, frowning at the invitation. 

“Any material,” Kogane pointed out. “We can make it out of gears, since we don’t have many flowers right now.” 

“Oh!” 

“Well that’s just stupid,” Yanma said. 

“Don’t be mean, Yanma-kun!” Shiokara gasped, grabbing the invitation and nodding at it. “Yes, I know just what to do, don’t worry, Prez!” 

Rita shrieked as they read the invitation, while Morphonia sighed and started looking at what possibly could be turned into a flower crown in the kingdom of Gokkan. 

Kaguragi grinned at Suzume, the two of them looking at the bountiful fields just outside the castle doors. 

“Well now!” Jeramie said,studying his hand and smiling at Gerojim. 

Himeno studied Gira’s crown of gears before nodding and letting him through, Gira sighing in relief. It was a little messy, clearly made by the children, but it did pass the test. 

Yanma’s crown of wires with projections of flowers got a technical pass, but Himeno didn’t really like it. Neither did Yanma, considering he kept tugging at it. 

Rita’s crown appeared to be made of old wanted posters for the flowers and what suspiciously looked like lock-picking gear as the base.  

Kaguragi’s she didn’t even need to look at hard whatsoever, it was so bright and fit Ishabana’s theme extremely well. 

A crown made of webbing was certainly impressive, but not the most aesthetically pleasing, at least by Himeno’s standards. Still, he was allowed in. 

And of course, her own flower crown was a thing of beauty, weaved expertly through her hair. 

Chapter Text

“Whatcha doing?” 

“Oh, hey Kairi.” 

Kairi sat down next to Umika, drawing up his legs and putting his chin on his knees, looking interested in what Umika was doing. 

“When’d these grow?” Kairi mused, plucking one of the flowers from Umika’s hands and twirling it between his fingers. 

“Hey!” Umika snatched it back, weaving it into the crown she was making. “I dunno, but I figured I might as well do something with them.”  

“Think we can put it on Touma without him noticing?” Kairi asked, grinning. 

“No.” 

The two whipped around and found Touma looking faintly amused behind them.

“Mirai-sensei! Mirai-sensei!” the children clamored. 

“Hello, everyone!” Mirai replied cheerfully.

“Guess what?” 

“What?” 

Groans from the children. “You have to guess!”

Mirai looked to Konomi for guidance, who just nodded with a smile. 

“Umm, I give up!” 

“We’re going to learn to make flower crowns today!”

“Oh?”

“The children are very excited,” Konomi explained. “Everyone ready?” 

“YEAH!!”

The class walked to a nearby field, singing a song about meeting a bear at the top of their lungs. 

Under Konomi’s guidance, Mirai learned to make a perfect flower crown, although he cheerfully wore the messy ones of the children’s.

“Shizu-nee! Shizu-nee!” Masao sang, practically bouncing off the walls. 

“Hey, Masao, how’s it going?”

Wataru gave Shizuka two bentos, which she accepted with a grin. 

“Thank you so much,” he said gratefully, having asked for her help on short notice.

“No prob, for one of your bentos? I’d do most anything.” 

“Let’s go, Shizu-nee!” Masao tugged her to the door. 

“Be good, Masao,” Wataru reminded him. “Don’t forget we’re seeing Jirou-tachi tonight.” 

“Yes, Papa!” 

“Good luck with your little concert!” Shizuka added. 

“Thank you, I should be back in about three hours.” 

“We’ll be back before then,” Shizuka promised, letting herself be dragged out by a determined Masao. 

It was a nice walk to the park, Masao talking about literally anything that came to his mind. It was hard to believe that this was Wataru’s child, if Shizuka was being honest. 

“Papa said next time I’d get to go to his concert!” 

“Oh?” 

“Yeah, I couldn’t come this time cause it’s Taiga-oji’s people and they don’t like me yet. 

Shizuka stifled a laugh at the “yet”, but it was true, Masao was a very likeable little boy. 

“Shall we eat first, or do you want me to make you a crown first?” Shizuka asked, indicating all the wild flowers that had popped up recently that would make very nice crowns.

“Crown! Crown!” 

“Okay, I need flowers with flexible stems, okay? Bendy ones, not too stiff.” 

Masao nodded, picking flowers with a serious little face. At times like this, Shizuka reflected, one could see he was Wataru’s son. 

“Here you go, Shizu-nee!” 

“Perfect!” 

Masao gave her a grin full of missing teeth. 

It only took a few minutes to make the crown, Masao refusing to take it off for the rest of the day.

“What are you working on, Ahim-san?” Gai asked. 

“Mmm…a secret little project,” Ahim replied after a few seconds of consideration. 

“And if you think you can get it out of her, you're wrong,” Luka and Doc said in unison.

“You'll just have to wait,” Marvelous added, although he looked annoyed at also being out of the loop, making Joe smirk.

Ahim smiled as she carefully folded fabric together, sewing them together with tiny, even stitches.

Marvelous got his first, of course. A crown of red flowers, placed over a dashing pirate hat, expertly sewn on in a way that ensured that the flowers would be hard to take off in a battle. 

Joe's was next, not quite a crown, for it was more of a ribbon with flowers sewn on in a row, which could be tied into a crown, or left as a ribbon in a ponytail.

Luka's was a crown, with flowers that resembled daffodils and dandelions, easy to take off.

Doc's crown of green flowers used fabric that had vegetable patterns, a detail he appreciated, and she had taken special care to make sure it wouldn't get stuck in his curls.

Her own flower crown was more of a flower tiara, delicate and refined with pink lace flowers sewn in.

And Gai's was made with the most silver fabric she could find.

“What’s Souta doing?” Natsuki asked, the six of them in a field, waiting for info about the latest Precious. 

“Making a flower crown,” Souta replied, weaving in the last ends and putting his finger over his mouth. “I’ll make you one next, okay?” 

“Okay!” Natsuki said, pleased, as Souta put the crown on Akashi’s head without him noticing, for he was too engrossed with his call, much to the amusement of Masumi and Eiji. 

Chapter Text

He was finishing the last of the porridge Kenzaki had made for him (and did human food usually taste this good, or was that the “being weak at the moment” speaking?) when something was placed on his head. 

“What are you doing.” 

Kenzaki shrugged, looking...one of those human expressions Hajime couldn’t figure out. 

“I found some wild flowers out in the woods, and figured…” 

“Figured what.” 

Kenzaki’s cheeks and ears were turning red, and he wasn’t answering, so Hajime took the thing on his head off, finding a circle of wilting flowers loosely bound together. 

Humans really made no sense whatsoever. 

Chapter Text

They had just defeated a kaijin, and were catching their breath in a field of flowers, ugly patches now everywhere, much to Ryuunosuke’s distress. 

“We should have been more careful,” he fretted. 

“We’ll be more careful next time, Ryuu-san,” Kotoha promised.

A random weight on his head made him get to his feet at once, startling Genta. 

“Woah! It’s just a flower crown! Cause you’re right, we did kinda make a mess… but if they’re already loose, y’know?” 

Takeru placed a hand on Ryuunosuke’s shoulder before he could freak out, a flower crown lopsidedly on his head. 

“It’s fine, we’ll get the Kuroko to plant more,” he promised. “Please rest for now.” 

Ryuunosuke nodded, taking a deep breath so he could watch Genta teach Mako and Chiaki, Kotoha humming as she made her own crown, the only one there to have her color represented. 

Chapter Text

Yukito was reading the newspaper and therefore minding his own business when something was placed on his head. 

“There!” 

Since it was Mai’s voice and not anyone else’s, Yukito took a deep breath and looked up. 

A flower crown, clearly made by five year old fingers, made from flowers from a nearby field that they had beat a Trinoid up in. 

“Looking good, Sanjou-san!” Ryoga said, grinning and giving him a thumbs up when Yukito glared at him, knowing it was his idea. 

Chapter Text

The last thing Akito expected was to have something placed on his head. 

“Kengo. What is this.” 

Kengo pouted at him. 

“I can tell you!” Ignis said, having come from who knew where. “There’s a crown of flowers on your head.” 

“Oh! Ignis! I made you one too!” 

“You make flower crowns?” Akito asked, pulling it off his head to inspect it. 

“They’re from the florist! They aren’t going to last too long, being cut like that,” Kengo explained cheerfully, trying to place it on Ignis, who laughed and snatched it from Kengo’s hand to put it on himself.
