Peridot held out a bouquet of pastel blue flowers.
“These are Periwinkles! After vigorously researching various flower species native to this planet and the symbolic meanings humans assigned to them, I believed these to be the most appropriate to bring you. You see, these flowers represent promise and hope in a relationship. With these, it shows my desire to see our relationship grow and blossom into something strong, everlasting, and immortal. But that's not all! These flowers have a secondary meaning which is to show the gifter – that's me, by the way, in case you've forgotten – wants you to know that you can reach out anytime that you feel you could use extra love and support if you need it, and to not feel like a burden if you desire such things out of them.”
Lapis took the flowers and lightly rubbed a petal between her fingers. “Wow, thanks! I thought you got them for me because they're blue like me.”
Peridot squinted, her eyes shifting from the flowers, to Lapis, and to the flowers again.
“I... also did it for that reason?”
Lapis ruffled Peridot's hair and kissed her on the nose. “You little dork.”
