[the thing is, Zack isn't someone who really lies or keeps secrets. Most of the time if he tries he's terrible at it; he's the type of man who wears his heart on his sleeve, emotions out in the open and easily read. He's honest, sometimes too honest, so then . . . why would he still have a few flowers sprouting out of his hair?
Because lying by omission is still lying. And holding on to certain truths because you don't want to hurt anyone is still keeping secrets.
But it's only a couple of flowers, right? He can manage that, and he practically forgets about them until he spots Cloud on the side of the road, looking at one of those boards. He's barely taken a few steps before he feels them, white tulips shifting to make room for a few more. He pauses for a moment, then sighs to himself and shakes his head and he crosses the road. Of course that would happen now. He should've realized.
He hasn't forgotten that people are going through things this month, however, and while he's not affected, he knows a lot of other people probably are. So instead of a hair ruffle, as Zack steps up next to Cloud he carefully touches one of the lilies instead]
