Chapter Text
It was a warm summer afternoon in Faraway. Birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and kids were playing. But there was one boy hard at work on a flower crown.
“Carnations…Peonies…And most importantly, a sunflower,” The black-haired boy muttered to himself, weaving the stems of the flowers together.
He worked on it longer than he should have, ensuring everything was set perfectly. Thoughts of his crush swam around in his head like a dolphin, occasionally being interrupted by thoughts of his other friends. Aubrey, Kel, Hero…All of them were so nice to him. But what would they think if he told them he liked boys?
He shook his head, willing himself to halt that train of thought. Now it was time to give the flower crown to his love.
He almost stood up but remembered one very important thing. The note. He pulled out a scrap of paper and some pens, using his best handwriting to deliver this message of extreme importance.
He tucked it behind the sunflower’s petals and stood up, walking to where Basil was sitting.
“Oh! Sunny! I thought you had left already…I felt bad that I didn’t get to say goodbye!”
Basil smiled, gesturing for Sunny to sit down next to him.
Sunny’s cheeks reddened slightly at just the sight of Basil. God, he fell hard.
He sat down next to the blonde, fidgeting with the leaves on the crown.
“Something…for you,” Sunny mumbled as he held out the crown, making sure the sunflower was front and center.
Basil gasped, almost immediately situating it on top of his head.
“I love it!! Did you make this all by yourself? No help from Hero?”
Sunny nodded, waiting for Basil to notice the small slip of paper.
“Wait…This flower feels funny,” Basil spoke as he felt behind the yellow-petaled flower, eventually finding that slip of paper Sunny was so scared to put in there.
Basil read the note with his icy blue eyes and gasped softly.
“I love you, Basil. -Sunny,” the note read.
“I…I love you too.”
“Kiss?”
Sunny barely spoke, but Basil knew that when he did, it was meaningful. Almost all of his words were softly mumbled, but this one was said with so much volume and genuine love that it surprised him.
“Yeah…I would really like that.”
Basil moved his lips closer to Sunny’s, hesitating slightly.
Sunny could feel Basil’s breath on him whilst he sealed the gap between their rosy lips, both of their cheeks quickly starting to match that red color.
They don’t know how long they stayed there, kissing under a tree, but it was one of the happiest moments of their lives.
