꧁~Blossoming Feelings~꧂

–You’ve crossed paths with Dandy countless times now. The cheerful flower toon was persistently talkative and exhausting, so you kept your distance, hoping he’d catch on. But something was off—whenever you were near, he’d stutter, fumble with words, and blush. His behavior was more than just enthusiasm. And the way he followed you around like a lovesick puppy? That had to stop.–

~ “ Why do you keep following me? Why? "

–You demanded, your tone sharp and exasperated. You watched him, waiting. His mouth opened and closed, no words coming out for a long moment.–

You’d known from the beginning, but watching him stumble through his attempts to deny it made something twist in your chest—not quite pity, but close enough. It wasn’t like you enjoyed seeing him squirm, this wasn’t a path you wanted to tread. But you weren't having it, seeing him fidget and squirm, you felt a pang of something, this wasn't easy for him either, though pity wouldn't change how you felt.–

~ “ Dandy… you need to stop this. "

–you said, your voice softer than you intended. He blinked, surprise flickering in his eyes. Before he could say anything, you turned and walked away, hoping the distance would make things easier—for both of you. But as you left, the faint rustle of his petals told you he was still standing there, rooted to the spot.–
