Inumaki sat on bed criss-crossed, his head resting on his arm as he watched the rain pour down on the garden he so loved.

It was put in just a few weeks before he came to Jujutsu High, but there weren't any flowers grown yet. He took it upon himself to help grow the colourful and beautiful blossoms.

No one really goes by the garden except him, and maybe someone else. There was a patch of new flowers in the corner, so someone must also be going by it.

It had a beautiful weeping cherry blossom tree in the middle, providing adequate shade for the round stepping stones that surrounded it. On the outskirts, there were stone planters that created an outside circle filled with various different plants from flowers to bushes. By a few planters were benches and small archways over each one. Each was decorated with beautiful vines with different flowers blooming between the leaves. It was much bigger now than it was before.

Inumaki helped build the benches and grow most of the flowers, he's very satisfied with his work an how it turned out, even if not many people stop by the garden. He enjoyed eating there and reading, or just sitting and resting during his breaks.

A black umbrella cut out the rain from his sight, he sat up, wondering who would be walking out in this pouring rain.

A small, but muscular, silhouette walked along the small path of the stones and stopped in front of a purple patch of flowers.

Those are the new flowers Panda and I saw a few days ago. Inumaki recalled the, now full, empty planter that sat in the corner. They must've planted those flowers.

Humming a small tune, Y/N grabbed a jacket and her umbrella. She really enjoyed the rain, and what better idea than to go walking around the garden. She had a small bag wrapped around her frame, in which she had a book and a few snacks.

Slipping on her boots, she checked the time on the wall before sliding open her room's door and walking down the hallway.

Gojo had decided to give them a small day off, since it was raining, and the beginning of spring.

The small patter of water became intensified once she opened the door outside. It was a bit cloudy and somewhat grey, but the small shine of colourful flowers broke away the gloomy atmosphere.

Walking and sitting outside in the rain may seem like it would a slight annoyance, but Y/N enjoyed it, even if she did have to get a little wet.

I should've brought a bigger jacket. Y/N sighed, even though her boots were fairly high, she still got small splashes of water on her bare skin. She kept her pace as she walked down towards the hidden garden in between the dorms.

Water droplets slid down various leaves and flower petals, giving them such a pretty sheen under the lights that were surrounding the garden.

Under the weeping cherry blossom tree there was a bench that was mostly dry, being covered by a small arch that was mostly solid. To prevent water from getting on it. But Y/N sat by the newly planted patch of anemone blooms that Gojo had put in just for her.

She propped her umbrella up right to keep her hands free, then wiped the already wet bench. Before she sat down, she wiped away the water that had accumulated over the morning. She fished out her book, filing through the pages until she found where she had stopped at.

Relaxing into her seat, she rested her elbow on the bench's armrest, allowing the side of her cheek to rest on her fist with her legs crossed.

The story she was reading was about two people who fell in love during the school year, but one had to leave, leaving the other behind. It seems pretty cliché doesn't it? But she had heard about this book from Nanami, Itadori's mentor, he had said something about it being a cruel romance. But she was interested by the plot, plus she's only on chapter three anyways.
