It was the first of June, a date Kazo had been eagerly anticipating. That morning, sunlight shimmered through his windows, nudging him awake. He let out a soft grunt of annoyance as he rolled over and glanced at the clock. It was already 1 PM. Panic set in momentarily, but then excitement took over. Today was the first of June—the start of Pride Month! Kazo jumped out of bed with enthusiasm, his earlier annoyance forgotten. He quickly got ready, taking a refreshing shower and making his bed. He could feel the excitement buzzing through him as he thought about the day’s plans. After getting dressed, he grabbed his phone and called his two best friends, Mark and Corn. “Hey, guys! Come over later at 6 PM. We’re going to celebrate Pride Month!” Kazo announced. Mark was instantly enthusiastic. “Absolutely, Kazo! I can’t wait!” he responded, his voice brimming with excitement. Corn, on the other hand, was a bit confused but happy nonetheless. “Sure, Kazo. I’m always up for a gathering,” he said, his tone reflecting his usual laid-back attitude. With his friends set to come over, Kazo had the rest of the afternoon to prepare. He decided to go all out with the decorations. He covered the entire living room in rainbow-colored décor, draping pride flags over the walls and furniture. He even found some rainbow candles that added a warm feeling to the room. Next, he moved to the kitchen to start baking. Kazo loved to bake, and today was the perfect occasion to whip up something special. He decided to make pride-themed cookies and a cake. The cookies were shaped like hearts, stars, and covored in pride flag inspired icing. The cake was a multi-layered masterpiece, each layer representing a different color of the pride flag. He worked carefully, making sure everything looked perfect. As he baked, Kazo thought about what Pride Month meant to him. It was a time of celebration, reflection, and unity. He felt a deep sense of gratitude for the community and for his friends, who had always supported him. The vibrant colors around him seemed to echo his feelings of joy and pride. By the time Mark and Corn arrived, Kazo had everything ready. The living room looked like a rainbow wonderland, and the delicious aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air. When Mark and Corn walked in, their reactions were priceless.“Wow, Kazo! This is amazing!” Mark exclaimed, taking in the decorations and the sweet smell of the treats. Corn’s eyes widened in surprise and delight. “This looks incredible, Kazo. but what is this for?!” Kazo beamed with pride. “I wanted to make today special. Let’s celebrate Pride Month!” The three friends settled in, starting with the cookies. They were delicious. They laughed and chatted, enjoying each other’s company. After indulging in the cookies, they moved on to watching pride-themed movies. Kazo had a selection of films that celebrated LGBTQ+ stories. They watched classics and new releases, each movie sparking conversations about representation, identity, and acceptance. Mark was particularly moved by a documentary about the history of Pride, and Corn found himself surprisingly engaged by a romantic comedy featuring a same-sex couple. As the evening wore on, they cut into the pride cake. The multi-colored layers were a hit, not just for their stunning appearance but also for their rich, delightful taste. The friends savored each bite, sharing stories and memories. They talked about their own experiences, their hopes, and their dreams for the future. The atmosphere was one of warmth, love, and solidarity. Mark, always the expressive one, shared a heartfelt toast. “Here’s to us, to our community, and to the incredible journey we’re all on. Happy Pride Month, everyone!” Kazo and Corn raised their glasses, feeling a deep connection to the moment. “Happy Pride Month!” they echoed, their voices filled with emotion. As the night drew to a close, Kazo looked around at his friends and the decorations that had transformed his living room. He felt a profound sense of happiness and fulfillment. The day had been everything he had hoped for and more. It wasn’t just about the decorations or the food; it was about the connection and the celebration of their identities and their friendship.
