“Oh, Annie,” A soft gasp as she looked to the gift, the offering of seeds that the other had brought, the ability to watch them as they grew and bloomed into beautiful flowers, a soft smile pulled at her face. “I know just where to put these!” Gently, she took them from the other, making her way over to a fresh area of soil, there had been some other flowers here that had died over the years despite her earnest efforts to keep them up. These would be just the thing to bring more life into this corner of the greenhouse!
“This way, we can make beautiful bouquets together!” Her smile was wide as she set the small bag of seeds down on a small table off to the side, making her way over to the other and wrapping her up in her arms for a tight hug.
“Thank you so much, Annie! I can’t wait to watch them bloom with you.”

Ride 748: The sixth and seventh place
Pag 1
1: Keep it up, Rokudai!!
It's past 9pm!!
2: Three hours left....!!
Until we complete the 1000km... there are still
3: 60km!!
Yeah!!
Pag 2
1: 20km in an hour... if we can run 4 laps per hour, we can do it!!
We can reach 1000km!!
Pag 3
1: Yeah!!
4: We can do it!!
Yeah!!
5: Gooo!! Do your best!!
55km left!! Go!!
Will their bottles be enough....
6: Those two can do it
Will they really complete the 1000km? Kinaka and Rokudai
Even though they're first years!!
Pag 4
1: There was also a moment where he seemed to be having a tough time, but Kinaka encouraged him
They looked so fired up now, right!?
They got back up!!
The look in their eyes was terrific!!
2: Sugimoto ran with determination
3: But... this fight is...
He... Sugimoto knows all that well
He's fighting understanding that
4: Kuaaaa
5: Garuaaa
Pag 5
1: It was probably the same for Danchiku
2: Danchiku watched Sohoku running for two years
And Sugimoto for three years....!!
4: So they chose that race!!
Pag 6
1: They chose to fight!!
3: Are you an idiot... Sugimoto
4: If you ... wanted to run with me at our third and last Inter High, you could have stuck behind me, easily, and take the goal that way
5: and become... a member... the “sixth man”
Pag 7
1: You chose a harsh way
2: You were thinking about the team....
4: You were thinking about what you needed to do....
5: That's just like you....
6: You know, Imaizumi, I think, I think it's necessary
7: For our third Inter High members this year, we definitely....!!
Pag 8
2: It's 10pm!!
40km left!!
Pag 9
2: Yeah!!
4: We can do it, Rokudai!!
Yeah!
Let's go, Rokudai!!
Yeah!
5: I confirmed it earlier when we passed through the goal – it's good news, so be glad!!
Yeah!
6: Good news!? Teh!?
7: We have already surpassed the third year Sugimoto-san!!
Pag 10
1: Huh!?
Is he resting? Or is he preserving his strength? We don't know, but anyway it looks like right now Sugimoto-san isn't on the course!!
2: For now, we....
3: Are sixth and seventh place
The “sixth place”....
4: Will become one of the Inter High members!!
Pag 11
1: Mem....
Really!?
2: Wait, teh, I'm getting dizzy
That... wouldn't that be amazing, teh!?
3: It's an hypothesis but, even if Sugimoto-san wants to chase us from here on, there's a “surpassing ban board”, so if we keep running then he can't catch up to us!!
And we'll secure the “sixth place”!!
4: You're so smart, Kinaka-kun!!
5: Right?!
6: Waaaa
A member... it's almost within reach, teh.... that's incredible, teh...!!
Pag 12
1: I'm so glad, teh, Kinaka-kun!!
Yeah!!
No, it's too soon to cry!!
2: I'm so glad we kept on running
There are still 40km left!! Don't lose your pace!!
3: Tears are for after the finish line!!
4: Ahh, it's here, teh... a blan comment, it's been a while
Oi!! I cheer you up and yet you hit me!!
5: But now it touches my heart!!
It's thanks to your encouragement, Kinaka-kun, that I arrived here, teh!!
6: Uhm!!
Pag 13
1: Let's aim for the Inter High!!
Yeah!!
3: Go
4: Go, Rokudai
Pag 14
1: It's only 40km left.... you can do it on your own, Rokudai
2: It hurts-!!
3: I reached my limit for the pain
All the “let's go”, “let's do it” and the encouragement were to deceive you
4: I had to
I've been having leg cramps for a while
5: The “Inter High”
6: Even though it's right before my eyes
It's so frustrating
Pag 15
2: Wha- Rokudai
You moved back before I noticed...
3: If you're tired and need to slow down, tell me it, teh
I'll push you and help you!!
4: Don't underestimate the “helping ability” of a former manager, teh!!
Pag 16
1: Rokudai!!
5: Rokudaiii!!
6: You mean to say “let's still go”!?
7: Is it connecting possibilities? Rokudai's hand!!
Pag 17
1: Don't cry, Kinaka Tsugunao, crying is for after the finish line!!
2: Ah!!
3: Alright, the climb is over, I'll pull you on the downhill!!
4: Yeah, teh!!
Pag 18
1: Waa-teh!? Suddenly I can't keep my balance!!
2: Rokudai!?
3: A flat tire!!
4: Huh, a flat tire!?
Your tires are screaming for the 1000km
Ahh
Dammit!! Mechanical troubles in a time like this!!
5: The tools to repair a flat tire are only at the goal!!
But with a flat tire, on the downhill....!!
We have no choice but to push it slowly downhill!!
Pag 19
1: Hurry!!
2: Ugh-
3: If we go so slow, Sugimoto-san might come!!
4: Sugimoto-san is chasing us, teh!!
Pag 20
1: Sugimoto won't come
2: I've come to bring you a message from Sugimoto

I want to read an og AlbeCale fic where someone or something doss Alberu with an aphrodisiac. He manages to get away but passes out near Cale's house (or crash right to his balcony), who nurses him. Not smut involved, because og!Cale A) it's not going to do that with a drugged person, and B) for some reason knows a lot about poisons— aphrodisiacs included— and their cures.
So, basically a sick fic, except Og!Cale has to hide the sick person until he recovers. Plus, they have to plan how to catch the culprit.
Maybe the house where Og!Cale is at that moment (and therefore, where Alberu crashes) is the one at the capital. Maybe he went to pick up Bassen or maybe in this AU Bassen, Lily and Og!Cale went all at the capital together.
Maybe there was a swordmanship competition/event that Lily really wanted to go to. And og!Cale decided to accompany them because Lily will go alone if not.
Maybe Violan came too because og!Cale just got injured a few days ago. (Deruth cries bitter tears over his paperwork. He can't join his family and leave the territory unsupervised from suddenly).
Maybe they eventually find out and the talk that follows leads them to discover about og!Cale's act. Whatever shenanigans he stumbled into when pretending to be trash and all that this implies included.
All of this happening through Alberu's eyes, who is absolutely confused but so warm. He was drugged as fuck when he ended up here. He felt horny and dizzy and wanted to cry, but this guy here just treated his fever and waited until he woke up. He gave him water and asked a few questions. Then he got him medicine, telling him exactly what it is made of.
He even was careful when giving him meals, making sure nothing would react wrong with the poison on his system.
Cale Henituse, the person rumored to be trash, was more kind and considerated in a pair of days than most nobles can expect to be in their whole lives.
After witnessing the conversation between og!Cale and his family, Alberu realizes that he is just like that. This is not special treatment nor pity. This is who he is when his mask doesn't reach to cover him up fully. It's just a part, but is more than most people get to see.
Soft and warm.
Once Alberu heals and can go back to his palace, he still comes to visit og!Cale many times.
