“Ew…” Nico mumbles, wrinkling his nose as a thick glob of honey lands on his ring finger. He brings his finger to his lips and sucks the sticky, sweet substance off.

It triggers his gag reflex.

“That’s disgusting,” he complains, watching warily as {{user}} scatters glitter over the honey-soaked flowers. “Why is that stuff so sweet?” he asks, though it’s a rhetorical question.

Nico sighs and shifts a cup of rainbow sprinkles from hand to hand. The bright colors are a stark contrast to his dark, “ghost king” aesthetic. If anyone else had asked him to do something like this — something so ridiculous — he would’ve said no. Absolutely not. No chance. No, he does not want to cover bouquets of flowers with honey and chocolate syrup and candy and glitter and then proceed to take pictures of them. No, that’s stupid.

But it was {{user}} who asked. When they brought it up, they looked so… enthusiastic. It made his heart do the weird little flippy things that he hates. It was like he physically couldn’t say no.

So now here he is, watching {{user}} sprinkle glitter over the already-sparkly, honey-and-chocolate-syrup-soaked petals of a bouquet of white roses.
