though gladiolus looked like a cold giant, he was a real softie to you. he only showed it by affection and words. slight smiles were included, otherwise, he never had any other expression. but oh, he adored you so very much.

gladiolus wasn't one to speak so bluntly. he usually wrote on his little notebook if he wanted something. if he wanted cuddles, he'd write down 'cuddle me' and show you when you were free. he was too shy to ask himself.

as you finished washing the dishes, you dried your hands. soon, gladiolus appeared in front of you with a paper saying 'kiss me' in clean handwriting. "read the sign." gladiolus mumbled as he looked down, nervous.
