Summary:

Ed and Stede buy each other flowers, and with them, their romance continues to bloom.

(Two illustrated poems for Valentine's Day)

Notes:

hi crew happy skaterbois valentine's day!!! 💜💙 so when BK and i were planning this, the original intention had been for me to write drabbles, but after she sent me the art and i stared at them for ages, they were just begging me to write poetry instead. i haven't written poetry since high school so i'm a little nervous sharing these, but i hope you like them and that i managed to do BK's beautiful art justice with my words 🥰🥰 -rho

Chapter 1: stede

Chapter Text

IMG_2754.jpeg

A bouquet of sunshine on a fresh autumn morning,

Heart glowing, warm and content,

The world is brighter today.

Who knew it could be so easy to trust another?

To allow himself to bask in the butterflies

And the sweet beginnings of a precious, four letter word,

Quiet, curious, just waiting to bloom.

 

Simply laying eyes upon him

Is enough to steal a breath from Ed’s lungs.

A call of his name, sugary on his tongue,

Stede turns. He beams.

“For me?”

Rosy cheeks, a shared giggle between presses of petal-soft lips,

He’s radiant, and Ed blossoms in his light.

Chapter 2: ed

Chapter Text

IMG_2788.jpeg

A bouquet meticulously crafted,

Stem by stem, chosen with care.

An artist Stede is not,

But for his darling’s smile, his delight,

A masterpiece he will create.

Ed, a resplendent star against hues of midnight purple,

Shining with sweet gratitude, and even sweeter pleasure.

 

An empty marmalade jar, now overflowing with vibrant joy,

The true artist of the pair

Takes his brush to a fresh canvas,

And transforms the blossoms into a treasure.

Petals immortalised in strokes of paint,

Undying beauty, eternal adoration.

Forever lasting. Stede likes the sound of that.
