He buys a bunch of roses as opposed to just one, because it alone seems a very stark declaration of feeling. A dozen can hide many affections within, and it is a far more traditional number anyway.
Fuji raises an eyebrow when he opens the door to a blaze of red, but his smile does not falter. He looks at the flowers for a good minute, taking them in fully, before leaving Tezuka at the door and placing them, in view, on the kitchen table laid down gently.
"Let's leave them where they belong," Fuji says softly, pulling the door to a close behind him. That Tezuka has brought them because he feels it is something he simply should do on a date does not make the roses any less beautiful, Fuji thinks. But he will not continue the evening in a way such as it has begun.
