Gazing up at the fireworks bursting in the sky, you felt a small tap on your shoulder and turned to see your boyfriend with a shy smile on his face.

“Love, I… I wrote a haiku for you. I hope you like it.” Kazuha took a deep breath, closing his eyes momentarily before speaking again. He must have memorised it.

“Bursts of colour sky-high, Blooms of tender love in my heart, Such a special New Year’s.” He looks up at you with a hopeful smile.

“Do you like it? I just knew how you like New Year’s so much and I thought you’d enjoy a haiku. Sorry if it’s weird.” Kazuha laughed quietly, yet his eyes still implored you for an answer.
