Flower Notes (Fanfic)

Flower notes   

  I remember one day I was hanging around with Basil– In his frontyard to be exact. He was showing me his plant collection and telling me fun facts about them; as well as their history, rarity, and each one’s special needs. He was squatting down the floor, his knees attached to each other as he hugged them. I sat the same way for a while, but my knees became weary so I gave up and sat down instead. 

   I had my notebook by my side, so I thought: Why not take some notes? 

   And that’s what I did. At least to what I could catch. If I'm being honest, Basil speaks way too fast for my liking whenever he is rambling on about plants. It was hard for me to take full notes on what he was saying; so I just wrote down what I could listen to audibly.

   I think Basil was talking about this titan arums flower. He told me how it is the tallest flower in the world; reaching about 10ft. As well, he did mention that they smelled like decaying flesh so they were known as the corpse flower. I believe I do have more information about this flower in my notebook…

   Meanwhile Basil was rambling, I took notes like I said. However, he did notice me taking notes, so he stopped talking for some reason. It went silent for a while. Awkwardly silent.

  “Sunny.”

   I hummed quick, still taking notes without noticing the silence. 

   …

   …

   …

   “A–Are you taking notes!?” Basil half-asked and half-exclaimed. To be honest, hearing him yell like that made me jump a little… 

  When I looked up at him, I just saw his hand covering his mouth, a rosy blush expanding rather quickly in his face. His eyes gaped at me, sparkling just a tiny bit.

   I nodded— And that was enough to make him gasp.

   “That’s so…” He had trailed off, the shine in his eyes becoming stronger by the moment. “... adorable!” He squealed at the end, halting from covering his mouth; showing off his grand, joyful smile, and placed his hands on his cheeks. It was an adorable sight. Way too adorable that I had to hide my smile.

   Then, he started to shower me with quick kisses, wrapping his arms around me. Every single time he would depart his lips from my face, he would make a happy, kind of squeal? I can’t quite remember, but… it made me smile way too much. I couldn’t even hide it.

   Back on topic– One thing that I learned from Basil’s infodump that day was that lilies of the valleys are poisonous, despite how bitty they looked. He then asked me if I would still love him if he was a lily of the valley. I wrote down my answer, which was: “Yes, but I think I would die because I would forget that you were poisonous and poke at you.” 

  For some weird reason, he started to squeal once he read my response and hugged me, flinging me with his cheek kisses. I didn’t quite understand why he did that… However, I won’t complain about the contagious affection. I adore it.
