Chapter Text
it was an afternoon meant to blend in as any other day in the week. nothing new to watch on tv, no special meal to indulge in, and gray skies overhead. just a normal afternoon meant to be forgotten the next day.
until your doorbell announced a visitor, and you opened the door to a ridiculously huge bouquet of flowers hiding a blue poof of hair behind them.
you were the most despicable human to walk this earth. were you meant to go on a date? was today your anniversary? had you forgotten your own birthday?
“special occasion?” you prepared for the worst
souya stood awkwardly outside, half expecting you to maybe let him inside your home. “no, i just wanted to surprise you.”
bless his heart.
his words snapped you out of the trance. door now wide open, you let him inside, taking the flowers from his arms. bless his beautiful soul, souya blushed when your hands grazed against his.
“i’ll go put these in a vase, you can take off your shoes and wait on the couch.” you tried to sound calm, you really did, but these flowers were heavy. what were they even feeding plants nowadays?
shoes carelessly thrown to the ground and hurried steps were your saving grace, the weight finally lessening as souya dashed in to help you carry them.
the arrangement looked beautiful when it wasn’t making your arms cry for help. “sou, you didn’t have to.”
his eyes locked on the floor, “do you not like them? big bro said it’d be a nice detail.” he figured so too, yet he couldn’t help but fumble with his fingers.
truly, bless his mother for birthing him and his devil spawn of a twin.
"yes! of course i love them, i just,” one hand sought to grasp his own, gently unclenching the fist he always curls his hand in. “i feel a little bad that i don’t have anything for you.”
a warm hue of blush painted his cheeks once again. “you don’t have to give anything back, it wouldn’t be a gift otherwise.”
your free hand came to cup his face, gently lifting it. his eyes, wide as ever, were nothing short of nervous. “thank you, souya.”
a soft peck on his cheek would have to suffice as payback for now. roses and snapdragons for a kiss. lips softly landed on his skin, lingering for just a minute longer. a muted smile ghosted on your face as his shoulders loosened up. flowers reciprocated as a honey-laced embrace.
and when his arms wrapped carefully around your waist, you could’ve sworn the sun came out for the first time that day.
