no one knows what it's like to feel these feelings like i do.

[he's knelt in the garden, mind elsewhere as he makes dainty cuts on the stems of flowers, collecting them in a decorative vase filled with water. he knows they'll only wind up dying, but he's used to that sort of thing by now.]

Comments

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

Are those for someone?

[she's standing a few feet away, hands clasped behind her back.]

[lollied.livejournal.com]

Those are pretty.

[quiet, a watering can in her hand.]

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[he almost sounds like he's whispering when he talks, so breathy when he's snapped out of his daze.]

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

Oh-- thankyou ...

[turns to look over at her with a faint smile.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[he breezes in like a cold gust of air, arms wrapping around Sora's middle.]

They're beautiful.

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

[so she crouches down next to him, taking the flowers he's picked and snapping the ends of the stems at an angle.]

They'll last longer this way.

[lollied.livejournal.com]

[crouches down--and don't worry, she's wearing shorts, so nothing is shown.]

Welcome. How've you been?

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

Oh.. thanks.

[watches carefully, taking one and doing the same just to make sure he has the right idea.]

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

Slow and quiet.

[which is good for some, but it's wearing his patience thin.]

... I really miss the shore.

[haveacuraga.livejournal.com]

[she watches in silence for a few minutes, taking note of how carefully he's handling the flowers.]

The person they're for must be very important to you.

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

Mm.. we've been through a lot.

[nods firmly, and then the smallest of smiles touches his lips.]

[lollied.livejournal.com]

[frowns, looking thoughtful.]

... me too. Have you gone to the one here?

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[leans back against him with a relieved sigh.]

I was picking them for us. The walls are getting boring to stare at.

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[perks up a little.]

There's one here?

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

I agree.

[tenderly kisses his ear.]

[lollied.livejournal.com]

[nods, with a warm smile.]

I haven't gone to it very much, but it's there.

[a light blush flutters over his cheeks, and he stops his task just to bathe in Riku's affection. he's incredibly refreshing because it's so humid in the garden.]

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

[he daringly nips at his earlobe before settling down.]

Want help?

[soldiersky.livejournal.com]

[it makes goosebumps blossom down his side, and he rubs his arm with a hand.]

If you'd like. I kind of suck at color coordination ...

[ghostlysilver.livejournal.com]

Small world, so do I.

[he presses a lingering kiss to Sora's neck before leaving him to drift to a patch of flowers.]
