About 75% of the time taken was me trying to blend out the BG, tragic really.
Ty for Kyore for helping me with the lines; Oekaki still isn't gr8 for me (which I found out when I made some tweaks to the lines + actually designed the kid) so it was a big help uuu.

Non-binary gender identity is a term used to describe individuals who may experience a gender identity that is neither exclusively male or female or is in between or beyond both genders.
Non-binary individuals may identify as gender fluid, agender (without gender), third gender, or something else entirely.

Reaction?

The silence of the hill echoed throughout their mind.
They were alone, picking small white daisies from the weak grass and put them in their paw, counting carefully.
They decided to sit back down, when the ruffle of small pawsteps sounded behind them.
A small kit holding something behind their back approached Oakley.
The kit moved it's hair from it's face, a nervous smile underneath.

"Hello!" Oakley said, returning the smile.

The kit walked forwards and pushed a bouquet towards them, and then without speaking, ran off.

"Wait!" Oakley yelped, running after the kit and grabbing them by their paw.

"This is really nice! These are my favorite flowers!" They said, a smile returning to their face.

The kit finally spoke up, surprised.

"Th-They are?.."

"Yeah! I really like these!" Oakley exclaimed, hugging the kit and then sitting down, where they patted a spot next to them.

The other kit sat down, but started crying softly.

"Why are you crying?" Oakley asked, surprised.

"B-Because.. you liked them.. and you are my friend.." The kit said, choking back sobs.

Oakley hugged the kit, a smile on their face.

"You don't need to cry!" They said, releasing the hug and then staring at the sunset.

The kit calmed down, sniffling softly.

Eventually, they both fell asleep.
They both lay peacefully in the grass, the best of friends.

I started my day normally: waking up, eating breakfast, getting ready for work. I stretched my arms and hopped onto my bike, and began to make my way toward the flower shop I worked part-time at. As I rode, I thought about the other kit who was there every day. They seemed shy--maybe even what most would consider reserved.

After about 26 minutes, I had made it to the shop, walking in and waving to the very kit I had just been thinking about. They seemed to be fixated on a few flowers, maybe 2 or 3. " Odd flowers to be using, hm..? " I thought to myself as I stepped into the changing room to get into my uniform. Throughout the day, the kalon hadn’t stopped fiddling with the flowers, the amount in the bundle steadily increasing. They weren't really focusing on other matters, like their job. They carefully picked up each flower, a small smile over their face. I chose to ignore them and work.

Later, I was helping someone find a flower they needed when I saw the kit walking over to pick some White Heather from our stock. There was a soft gleam in their eyes as they waddled about to their display of flowers laid on the small table, and I saw a recognizable color pattern after taking a good look. I shrugged it off and continued my day, though I did continue to take peaks at what they could possibly be doing with those flowers.

Eventually, I was caught looking and they quickly covered the mess of flowers. As the day went on, my break came fast. Happily, I walked into the break room, only to find the kit standing there, bouquet in hand. They stepped over to me slowly, stopping a foot or so in front of me. They appeared nervous, and I started to feel the same.

With a soft, trembling voice they spoke to me, " Would.. you like to be friends? " Then, they handed the bouquet to me.

I looked down at it and saw a familiar pattern, I looked back up at them and cheerfully spoke, " Ahaha! It's the non-binary flag! I really like this! I can't believe you'd go through all this trouble for me!" my excitement was getting the better of me. That soft, familiar smile appeared on their face again.

" I knew you were non-binary and really wanted to make something you'd like.. each flower has a separate meaning.. " They said, their nerves progressively fading away.

I looked at them and grinned. " I'd love to be your friend, " I said excitedly, and they smiled even brighter. We both sat down. I was clutching the bouquet to my stomach. We sat in silence for a few minutes before I glanced over and softly uttered, " Do you.. want to tell me those meanings..?"

Name: Ferriday
Gender: Nonbinary
Reaction? Most days, Ferriday wasn't even sure why Kaori was their friend. He always had a sour face, was quiet, and didn't like being near other kalons. Kaori had no problems listening to Ferriday's endless ramblings, though. He'd never really talk back, but Ferriday never really needed him to constantly be talking back. Other kalons said Ferriday was putting in all the work and it wasn't a good friendship, but they didn't really have many other friends, and there was something comforting about having Kaori around. They couldn't help but feel anxious about it, though. It was hard making friends, and it wouldn't be new for others to just be nodding their heads and ignoring them just to keep them happy...
Ferriday suddenly stumbled over their own feet, suddenly throwing them out of their thoughts. Today was definitely a special day, Kaori had asked them to meet at the park ! They were always getting so distracted. Ferriday found themself suddenly excited again, a spring to their step as they walked down the street. The sun hidden behind a small layer of clouds but still warm made the perfect day to go out walking. The park was full of other kits having fun on the jungle gym and swings, but Kaori sat quietly on a bench, away from everyone else. Typical of him, he never seemed to be close to other kalons. Ferriday bounded over to him with glee, shoving their face way to close into his. "You wanted to see me, yeah?" they asked. Kaori slowly leaned back, though he didn't seem that phased by Ferriday's boundless energy.
"Yeah. I got something for you." He muttered, picking up a large bouquet of flowers. Ferriday instinctively took a step back. The smile on their face seemed to waver with uncertainty. "Oooooh... oh, that's... nice, but.... i'm allergic to flowers, and..." They trailed off.
"Oh, i know." Kaori's response made Ferriday give him a confused glance. "They're fabric. I made them." He said bluntly, looking down at the flowers. "You talk about flowers a lot, so, you know. I made you some that won't make you feel sick." He sat silently for a moment before holding them out. Ferriday hesitantly took them. They definitely weren't real, but almost looked the part. They were all shades of his favorite colors, some even covered with glitter. Some of them looked hand painted, and each one was different from the other. It was easy to see which one had been made first, and which one had been made last. Ferriday started bouncing on their feet, at a loss for words. They jumped into Kaori, wrapping their arms around him.
"Thank you so much!!!!!!" They squealed. It felt nice to know that Kaori really was listening to them and that he really did care. They were both different, but they were different together.
"You're squishing me." Kaori muttered back. Ferriday laughed, letting him go and instead hugging the bouquet of fabric flowers.
