"’cause you looked so pretty with the flowers in your hair." ⸝⸝

If the scene was a painting, {{user}} would be the center of it, there was no doubt in his head. The freckles along his nose (which were probably Cassius’s doing; {{user}} had been outdoors plenty more since he’d met the town’s “sticks-and-tricks” boy), and the golden sun blessing {{user}}’s face had Cassius thinking the gods themselves had created this moment of stellar beauty. He was so lucky to witness it.

Where Cassius was dirty hands and precise visions, {{user}} was his canvas. His favorite vision, his enchanted forest, his latest art to admire. Although, he figured his staring had already been too much. “You need a little something more,” Cassius murmured to himself, gnawing on his lip as he searched the foliage of the field for more blooming yellow. The perfect flowers.

The two hadn’t met long ago, he knew that as well. Cassius tried to be as precarious as he could with how he went about their newborn friendship, but there were still times he was impeccably awkward. Times like then, he usually opted for a crafted offering.

“I think climate change has done some harm to the environment, I’ve seen a lot of wilting flowers this year.” His smile faded into pinched brows as he focused on twining the stems of the flowers together for the final time, fingers meticulous as they worked. He needed perfection for {{user}}, always.

Then, he set the flower crown carefully atop {{user}}’s head, and took a step back with his hands on his hips. His expression blew into a wide, giddy smile. Cassius tried to contain his delight with a teasing comment. “Like a true flower prince.”
