The History of Lightcannon

Warning, this is very long so buckle up. (Also spoilers for Arcane)

For those wondering where this ship came from and how it's bloomed from something that was pretty niche into something nearly mainstream. It's an interesting journey. So let's dive in.

Let's start with some context, Lightcannon is the name of the ship between two characters from the MOBA game, League of Legends.

Luxanna Crownguard (though she prefers Lux) from the kingdom of Demacia. She's a mage whose skilled in light magic. She is literally the Light...

...To the Cannon known as Jinx (formally known as powder.) from the slump of Zaun. A psychopathic loose cannon whose also a uncertified genius when it comes to tinkering.

Both residing in the world known as Runeterra.

Now you might be wondering, "How in the hell does a pretty blonde noble mage girl from a kingdom of knights get shipped with a blue haired psycho steampunk Harley Quinn knock off that's a continent away?" (Don't pretend Jinx wasn't made to cash in on the hype of Quinn. Riot is known for cashing in on trends.)

Two words, Cosmetic Skins. League is known for releasing cosmetic skin packs for it's champions. They usually have some fun special interactions with characters and even some lore. Creating AU's of sorts. Some are one shots, and others get expanded up into full on spinoffs with stories and their own expanded narrative.

In 2015 RIOT launched the Star Guardian set. Basically a Magical girl set for the characters: Lux, Jinx, Janna, Poppy, and Lulu. And this set is what kicked off lightcannon. In the lore, they are childhood friends.

Lux being described as, "Cheerful, courageous, and just a bit clumsy. Lux shines the brightest among her Star Guardian team as its captain."

While Jinx is described as, "The cynical teen rebelled, refusing to treat her powers as anything more than a plaything to serve her own interests. While Jinx scoffs at protecting a world she doesn’t trust, she does believe in her childhood friend Lux—and if someone could see into the depths of Jinx’s heart, they’d see a furious, burning need to keep those she holds dear out of harm’s way, at any cost."

If you are at all familiar with Magical Girl shows, you can see how this kicked it off. There is always an undercurrent of Yuri in ever MG series. For this, the classic, Good Girl x Bad Girl with a heart of gold. This even got it's own cinematic. With plenty of shots of Lux and Jinx Longing for each other.

With some rather fun interactions.

And a classic scene from one of the stories

And this is where the ship stayed for a few years. It stayed isolated this this AU. However, there were some people that wondered, "What if their default skins met?" (The two skins shown near the top.)

At the time, Jinx didn't have much lore. She was just the crazy boom girl, and it was hinted at that she had a history with Vi and Warwick. (Too be fair, VI's lore was kind of all over the place and she was mainly "Police Brutality, LoL.")

Lux however had a lot of lore. She was born into a high standing Noble family that is sworn to protect the king. Hence the name Crownguard. She is depicted as a bright, cheerful, and optimistic character. She's also related to the champion Garen, her older brother. However, she is a mage and magic is hated in her country of Demacia. So, she has to hide who she really is. Garen does know and accepts her. There are also a number of stories where she has done very questionable things. One of her decisions led to her trusting the wrong man, Sylas. A criminal mage that tricked her into helping him escape. Which ended up triggering a mage rebellion, which led to a lot of people dying.

Sounds familiar right?

So a big part of what drew these two together was the potential these two could have if they met. The idea that Lux finds someone who encourages her to be herself. To let her magic free and accept all of her. Which also applied to jinx as well. The idea that they could be who they truly are. And still drawing a bit from the Star Guardians, Good Girl x Bad Girl.

Again, this stayed pretty niche. A few fanfics and fanart would pop up. Very much a crackship, but people were pretty creative in what they thought of.

Then came a big shot in the arm for the ship, the Cinematic trailer for Wildrift.

This trailer had jinx hoping around runeterra and grabbing people to join her team to fight. The first person she grabs in Lux, whose bored and wants something exciting to do. And here comes this manic pixie dream girl who pops out of nowhere, jumps in her laps, takes a selfie, and then pulls her into a portal to fight a giant monster like she wanted. Plus the fact that Lux can create pretty shiny lights and massive magical explosions doesn't hurt either.

And then, a year after this, Arcane launched.

This not only gave Vi more depth, but also Jinx (Originally named powder). She went from, "lol, random, psycho murder, boom girl." To an incredibly tragic character who who just want to hug and tell her everything is alright.

It wasn't that we wanted Lux to fix Jinx, we wanted them to help each other. And with the ending of season 2, the viability of Lux and Jinx actually meeting skyrocketed even further. With Jinx faking her death and sneaking onto an airship that was seen over open water.

Possibly to Demacia to get a fresh start? Not impossible. Maybe even be her guiding light.

Additionally between season 1 and 2 or arcane. There was this fun little Chinese Animated web series called, Valoran Town. It didn't have too much an impact on the ship, but was still a bit more fuel for it.

Basically, a slice of life series about the champions living in a small town. The main story focusing on Lux as she runs away from home trying to live free and independently from her overbearing Brother Garen. Her best friend and now roommate in the series is Jinx! Since a lot of promo material did have them acting like friends, this just kind of leaned into it.

Each episode is about 5 minutes long, it's just super cute and fun. Also a nice pallet cleanser from the heart ache of arcane.

This person was kind enough to upload and subtitle all 12 episodes.

Give it a watch, it's free. (Just turn on closed captions.)

So, yeah. That's the history of lightcannon. We love it for many reasons, but for me. It's the potential they could have. It's very much a crackship, but I will sail it everyday. Hope you learned something.

And some funny things to think about.

Lightcannon and Caitvi/Piltover's finest means that Jinx and Vi have the same taste in women. Upper class femme.

But it also means the Crownguard sibling also have the same taste in women. Or, at the very least, have a kink for criminals/killers.

Garen with the Noxian assassin Katarina.

Lux with Sylans and Jinx.

Which would also make Lux and Jinx Bisexual too, so represent.

Yes, I support timebomb too. Arcane Season 2 episode 7 is beautiful. I see why people ship Ekko and Jinx together. I'm a multi-shipper. You can do that. They both love Jinx, and she deserves all the love.

Twisted Wonderland X League of Legends

¡Hello da’ everyone! Today in “Posts nobody asked for” *drum noises* Champions that I swear Twisted Wonderland characters would play if they played League of Legends (with skins included). Let’s go!

P. d: I made separated moodboards for each dormitory since I couldn’t accomodate them in this post, please click on each dormitory name to go to moodboards. Feel free of ignore them if you find this annoying, but in that way you will be unnable to enjoy the full experience UnU

P. p. d: I amplied the full concept for this reload jjijiji

Also I don’t own none of Twisted Wonderland or League of Legends drawings or characters, only the headcanon.

Diasomnia

Malleus Draconia

Lulu. Malleus really finds this little yordle ADORABLE, he overjoy himself whit the fae sorcerer laugh and likes to spam it, unfortunately for his teammates Lilia likes it too. He bought her dragon trainer skin cuz he find it amusing.

Galio. “OMG THIS ONE IS A GARGOYLE!!!” *instapick* That´s the history of how Malleus started playing Galio, I can bet that if Malleus could know him he would ask for his autograph and ask him a lot of things about gargoyles life while a confused Galio tries to explain the fae that hes not a gargoyle that indeed he doesn’t know what a gargoyle is. No skins cuz he ADORES Galio’s predeterminated gargoyle skin Birdio.

I think he would like to play simply because he’s just SO BAD playing. Like he, THE Malleus Draconia, finally found something he’s bad at? probably cuz it has something to do with technology, he finds that interesting. So he enjoy just playing to kill time, I think he would be ARAM main. He doesn’t get all of the toxic chat problems cuz he doesn’t know how to activate it, tho LMAO.

If MC plays to, oh lod, hes going to be a sucker for the game. They’re duo ❤️. Extra points if she’s good playing, like power couple. Also she defends him of toxic people and while she does it hes just there like 😊 1/10/5 KDA and he stole the kill LMAO

 Lilia Vanrouge

Kled. He is fond of this very eloquent yordle and plays him very often, also he is astonished by all of Kled war titles. Loves Skarl. Bought his Count Kledula skin because he loves how Skarl looks.

Lilia. He finds amusing the name coincidence and thinks the inconsistensy between her appearance and personality in her Nightbringer skin hit the jackpot.

 Silver

Leona. He really likes her gameplay, loves to protect his allies, also her voice calm him during the game he felt asleep once while playing her LOL. Lilia insisted in bought him Lunar Eclipse Leona because of their match silver hair.

Sebek Zigbolt

Poppy. He finds her SO CUTE (but you never heard me say that) also her admiration towards Garen reminds him of himself for Malleus. He got her Star Guardian skin, BUT YOU NEVER HER ME SAY THAT.

Heartslabyul

Riddle Rosehearts

Kayle reminds Riddle of the Queen of Hearts in her (so cool) way of punish the unfair. Iron Inquisitor Kayle fits him to perfection, even so, he really likes her predeterminated skin so he plays with it often.

 Ace Trappola

I could bet that Ace is that Teemo player who, regardless he win or lose, spends the whole game spaming Teemo’s laugh just to tilt his enemies… and allies. Little Devil Teemo that’s it.

 Deuce Spade

Veigar. Deuce’s mad side just love Veigar… and the way he EXPLODES his enemies. Final Boss Veigar rules.

Trey Clover

Senna. Since my point of view when Trey started playing he wanted to be helpful to his teammates mother hen so he mained support for a while with Senna. Short after he started to play Twisted Fate idk they look kinda similar. He thinks that skins are not necesary so he uses predeterminated skins.

 Cater Diamond

Seraphine. I think Cater would really ADORE her in all ways. He bought her KDA skin and ALL of her merchandise; got really upset about all the hate that was trowed at her.

Savanaclaw

Leona Kingscolar

Sett. He really likes the whoole “criminal boss who’s known as half-beast bastard” thing, besides, he can easily identify himself in this (very sexy) vastaya, he thinks their lifes are kinda similar. Have all of his skins, but he don’t wanna admit his favourite one is Obsidian Dragon Sett because… y’a know dragon iugh.

Rakan. Leona finds very interesting how Rakan have… WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY, while he’s… well quite the complete oposite. He doesn’t play him to often tho because it drains his energy LMAO, also I think he wouldn’t like to play support cuz he’s not going to babysit some jerk, so he plays Rakan jungler anything but supp.He has IG Rakan, but also likes his predeterminated skin.

And NO he will not play Leona.

 Jack Howl

Warwick. He reaaaally hates feeling like he MUST play Warwick just because all the wolf thing he’s OTP Warwick tho.

 Ruggie Buchi

Cho’Gath. “Insatiable hunger hum? Sounds like me, I like it” I can imagine Ruggie saying that when he pick Cho’Gath as main. He have Shan Hai Scrolls Cho’Gath btw.

Ocasionally plays Warwick, but only with his hyena skin (laughs himself when Warwick does).

Octavinelle

Azul Ashengrotto

Tahm Kench. Are you going to tell me that Azul just dont picked an over sized demon toad who ‘helps’ other’s via WAY TO GOOD TO BE TRUE AGREEMENTS and then feed himself with their misery when they doesn’t pay their doubt to him and is known as “The River King” as main???? He have his coin emperor skin, but keeps some respect for his lore and plays with Tahm predeterminated skin often.

 Jade Leech

Sivir went “I always take my toll, blood or gold” and Jade went ”Ok girl, you conviced me” and he picked her, that’s the history. He used his skills threaten someone to obtain an acount with Sivir Pax. Goes duo with Floyd in botlane.

 Floyd Leech

Pyke. Floyd instapicked Pyke the moment he saw him in the store, all the “mad ‘monster’ who hunts down dudes on a list” thing captured him, he finds it amusind. He doesn’t care for skins, his enemies explode equally regardless he has done or not. Goes duo with Jade in botlane.

Ignihyde

Idia Shroud

He already played and is challenger LMAO 💀

Lilia. He feels just so identified with her being afraid of everyone and everything just wanting to go back to her garden, JUST LIKE HIM! But also deeply admires her courage of leaving her place for an uper good. He bought both of her skins just when they where released, even though he doesn’t like Nightbringer Lilia because of doesn’t matches her kind and cute personality.

Ortho Shroud

Oriana. Just like his brother with Lilia, he feels identified with Orianna and plays her in every single lane. His big brother bought hi mall of her skins (even the legacy ones), but his favourite one is Orianna Star Guardian

Scarabia

.

Jamil Viper. Kayn Jamil thinks his backsotry and personality are just so cool! Also deeply comprehends Kayn internal fight with Rhaast. He farmed the whoole Night & Dawn evento so he could get his Prestige Nightbringer skin. 

Kalim Al- Asim

Zoe. Kamil likes her energy and trickster personality, once and again he get little bit scared by few of her interactions with another champions into the game, but then comes back to normal and its all okay. Have all of her skins, but his favourite is Pool Party Zoe Amumu Also likes to play with Amumu! He really thinks this por mumy needs a hug and he would gladly give it to him UnU 

Pomefiore

 Vil Schoenheit

Evelynn. *Deep breath* Ok… Just look at them! THEY’RE PRACTICALLY TWINS!!!! That’s all I have to say. Have all of her skins but LOVE KDA Evelynn, I mean she just looks like the perfect DIVA.

Gwen. Also likes to play with Gwen, he just loves her mixed kind-crazy self and can we just talk about her sense of mode??!! He would LOVE to use an outfit made by Gwen! Also have all of her skins but ADORES her predeterminated skin.

Epel Felmier

Vex. The whole “emo teen” thing amuses him, really, he’s laughing…

 Rook Hunt

Ashe. I really can see Rook chosing Ashe because he liked her personality, unlike most of LOL players he don’t thinks Ashe talking the WHOLE GAME annoying, on the contrary! He finds her voice and dialogues shoothing, he would LOVE to be bow pals with her! He really likes all of her skins, but above all he ADORES her Sherwood Forest skin.

[odekoyma]

Feel free to not answer if you don't want to, or if it was already answered (and I just didn't saw it) : Besides the ships you made in your AU, what other relationships do you have in mind for the champions? (Canon ones, non-canon ones, skin lines only ones, legends of runeterra ones, etc, etc.) (Could be platonic, romantic, "more")

I-I Have PLENTY of them, I just never draw them or don't have any ideas,or just look at it from the side. I won't tell you every one of them but I'll tell you somne of them if you are interested. Cait X Vi, Ekko x Jinx - Arcane moment. Tf x Graves - it's maybe one single m x m relationship that I truly enjoy seeing. It's so good and well made! I hope Riot will make something more of them! Teemo x Tristana, Lulu x Veigar, Poppy x Garen - Yordles!! Oh wait, Garen is here? I just think it's cute, okay?! Nothing weird. Diana x Leona - from lovers to haters, it's sad, but I like it. Ezreal x Lux - So sugary and boring, like it must be. Jhin x Sona - This one is just...mmm....~ if I worked on this one, it would be scary. Syndra X Zed - Dom momma with balls is always good. Also the cute comic I saw about them.

I'll stop here.

[incorrectlolquotes]

Your blog is sooo great!!! If it’s not too much to ask what are some of your ships? Right now all I have is lulu x veigar(your quotes for them are the best!) and I need some more haha

hello there!

since I started playing back in 2016 plenty of shippy stuff have passed through my radar. pretty much every popular ship at the time yknow garen x katarina janna x yasuo or lux x ezreal (then the star guardians event happened, ezreal got wiped and lightcannon is now one of my faves)

nowadays I mostly have crackships, like, poppy/tristana, tf/graves even swain/leblanc warwick/soraka, lee/sona, ashe/tryndamere, vi/cait and BIRB SUPREME xayah and rakan

but I would certainly say that lulu and veigar were my first ship. their dynamic is. too. damn. cute.

also remember when LaLaLaDemacia made me ship irelia and riven? yeah I remember that

[jericho-swaggins]

Garen x Poppy

NOTP || Just no || Meh || Neutral || Good Potential || Ship it || OTP || JUST FUCK ALREADYGaren is a closet furrysend me a ship xxx

[league-0f-weirdos]

SHIPPING INFO!   answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog.  repost, don’t reblog

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE?:

Uh.. hard to pick between my 3 favorite ones. One is Garen x Poppy, because I love the tought of them together, and I feel like human/yordle relationships would be a thing. Second is a really odd one (also my fav) , of Poppy X Veigar. Both of them old and broken by life, relying on each other despite all their differences, a little port to say “fuck it” for their lives and just.. enjoy things. And Trist X Poppy, because Solider GF’s makes me melt. Seriously we need more Trist an pops art..

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?: EVERYTHING. SEND IT ALL TO ME. No seriously variety is fun, let’s do it. :V

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE? Well, considering Yordles are really fuckin’ old and I HC Poppy is at least 2000 years old, age gaps don’t really matter, otherwise I’d only ship with other yordles and timeless beings. So honestly, age gaps don’t actually matter for Poppy.. but any muse below 20 is weird to ship, like, period.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?  A little bit. I’d rather our muses had some sort of chemestry instead of just hopping in the ship wagon, at least have us discuss it beforehand.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NSFW?:

As soon as the clothes come out, I usually put it under read more and start tagging it. Teasing is fine unless it starts getting really lewd.

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH?:

Lux, Chromie, a couple of OC’s, Kennen, Ziggs, Rumble, Shyvana.. I could keep going but I won’t. :V

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU:

Yes. Please. Let’s plot how it’ll work out THEN actually make it work if we’re both happy with how things might/will turn out.

>HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?: Quite a bit. If you have an idea I’ll like I’ll probably jump on the ship. 

>ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS:

Ship obsessed buuuut it’s hard to convey how much I usually like something. If I’m even trying to, chances are I really like it.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP ?:

Yis!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM? Yorick X Happiness. :’^) nah JK teemo and tristana is my ultimate OTP and I’ll defend it with spear and stone

WHAT IS YOUR NOTP?: Honestly, only ones I can think of are like, Annie x anything and stuff like that. Other than the pedo-ish stuff, just ship whatever the fuck you want. 

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU? Throw your fucking muse at me and yell “oY I HAVE AN IDEA” and if I like it enough we’ll play it out and see how it goes. :3

Tagged by : @not-draven-draaaven Tagging: @faithbringers , @a-dragon-and-an-eagle , @shorthammertime and whoever else wants to do this. :3 No seriously just grab it and run. s’your meme now

Ambrosia

Title: Reunited Chapter: Ambrosia By: ArisuChanSenpai (Visit my blog for AO3 link!) Fandom: League of Legends Ship: Jhin x Sona

Poppies, roses, daisies, sunflowers, and flowers of different kinds colored the front and inside of a shop among the lines of other stores and cafes in the street. It was hard to miss the burst of bright colors and arrangements, even from far away. A sign read “Buvelle Blossoms” on top in beautiful, handpainted cursive with a golden flower painted around the letters.

A woman walked out to the front, a watering can in hand, and watered the flowers and herbs in the front. The drops of water on the flower petals and leaves glistened in the sunlight as the stream of water passed by them. She patted the dirt in some pots to determine if a plant didn’t need any more water.

“Sona, dear, can you help me with a floral arrangement please?” a voice called out from inside.

Sona turned to walk inside to help her mother. “What event is it for?” she signed.

“According to this… lengthy email,” Lestara paused to give Sona her phone, “it seems this young man didn’t do so well with his lover. He even paid in advance for this bouquet to make his apology as clear as possible.”

Scrolling through the message, Sona smiled in sympathy at the sender’s name.

Garen Crownguard, the son of a prestigious family that supported a political family, the Lightshields, as bodyguards. Clearly in a relationship with the head of another political family, Katarina du Couteu. Very clear to almost everyone in town. It was a surprise his parents or the Lightshields hadn’t noticed yet, except his younger sister. His love and care for her was apparent in his email, going so far as to apologize and thank them for their trouble in making his bouquet.

She placed Lestara’s phone back on the table. “Do we have any purple hyacinths?”

Lestara tapped her nails against the wooden table in thought. “I believe we’re running out. I’ll have to order more after this, since I get the feeling we might use what we have left.” She chuckled to herself as she gathered roses of red and dark pink. “Will you get the hyacinths for me? And any other flowers you think might be necessary for this order.”

Sona walked through the aisles of flowers, whispering flower names under her breath. She carefully took out the purple hyacinths from their glass vase and shook the excess water off their stems. She then looked around her for other flowers that she can use for this bouquet. Her eyes spotted tulips that were in full bloom. Plucking a few red and many white ones, she returned to her mother and laid them on the table.

“Tulips?”

“I think they would go well with his message and how much he loves her,” Sona replied.

“Hopefully it comes across to her then.” The two laughed as they began arranging the flowers into a colorful bouquet with the red roses and tulips forming a heart among the yellow tulips and placing the hyacinths inside the heart. “Uh-oh, I think we’re running out of ribbons.”

“I think we still have one more roll in the back. I’ll go get it.” Sona hurried into the back room, her twintails bouncing with her steps.

“Take your time, dear! I’ll just hold them with a rubber band for now!” While Lestara was wrapping the bouquet in pink paper, she heard a shy knock on their open glass door and looked up. “Come in, dear. We’re just about to finish up.”

A shy-looking young man walked in with a book in his hand. “Good afternoon, Miss Buvelle. How are you?”

“Fixing up a bouquet for the lovely bodyguard who needs to apologize to his lover.” They exchanged knowing looks and chuckled. “Sona should be coming out soon, Jhin. She’s just getting me another roll of ribbons to wrap this up.”

“I wouldn’t mind if you helped me too, Miss Buvelle. I am here to buy more flowers for my next piece, anyways.”

The first half was a lie, and Lestara knew it. “Nonsense. Besides, Sona knows more about flowers than I do. You’re better off getting her help.”

Jhin fell silent in embarrassment. Even after so long, he couldn't hide his heart from Miss Buvelle. Was it the power of motherhood, he wondered. He took a moment to collect himself before looking around the shop.

“Mother, I found the ribbon,” a robotic, female voice sounded from the back. Sona walked out with a roll of red ribbons with white hearts on it and her phone, which was reading out her text. “It was in the bottom of the box, so we’ll have to order more soon.” She paused when she saw Jhin looking at red roses and sketching them in his book. Her eyes darted to Lestara, who was trying to suppress a grin behind her happy smile. Sona playfully nudged her mother in the arm before approaching Jhin.

“Welcome back, Jhin,” she signed.

“Hello, Sona,” he greeted back while signing ‘hello’. “How are you?”

“Good! How is your sign language?”

He shrugged bashfully. “I’m definitely getting better. Not the best, but I'm getting there.”

Sona’s eyes smiled as she gave him two thumbs-up. She then took out her phone to type a message into it. “What kind of flowers are you looking for today? Did you bring a photo of what you made last time?”

“Yes, I did! Hold on.” Jhin tapped an app and handed his phone to her. “I decided to name it “Golden Bells”, because the yellow daisies scattered around reminded me of ripples of sound that would come from a bell.” He watched her eyes widen with fascination and smiled. “I’ve already thought of a theme for my next piece, but I wasn’t sure what kind of flowers would go well with it.”

Handing his phone back, Sona started typing into her phone again. “What’s the theme?”

“Butterflies. I had this vision of a snowy day, and the crystallization of someone’s breath looked like butterflies. White and blue color scheme, to be more specific.” He opened his sketchbook to show Sona a few thumbnails. “Butterflies are usually associated with spring, but I thought it would also give a sense of irony to the idea.”

“I like it! It sounds nice.” She typed into her phone again. “Did you have a certain meaning in mind? It might be easier to narrow down your selection of white and blue flowers that way.”

Jhin sighed. “Sadly, no. I was thinking of using white roses, but they have a different meaning in our culture, something I’d like to avoid for this piece. I wouldn’t want to put the meaning of death in something as beautiful as crystal and snowflakes.” He pursed his lips as he turned to Sona, who was listening intently with a patient smile. “I seem to have rambled again…”

She shook her head reassuringly. “It’s okay.” She guided him to a row of white flowers. She signed “no” for the flowers that would be used in funerals or with negative meanings to narrow down the choices for him. From the remaining selections, Jhin had to choose from camellias, daffodils, daisies, orchids, and carnations.

“What would you say would be the closest meaning of each flower in relation to my piece? I understand that flowers have multiple meanings, given the context.”

A pause. “Camellia, you’re adorable. Daffodil, respect or unrequited love or “you’re the only one”. Daisies, innocence or secrecy. Orchids, beauty and elegance. Carnation, perfect love.”

He took this time to write down the notes. “Can we go see the blue flowers? This may take some time for me to think about what may be suitable for the meaning of my piece.” He followed Sona’s lead to a shelf of beautiful blue and indigo flowers. “Is there perhaps anything that means something like ‘unwavering’ or, ehm, ‘hope’, I suppose?”

Sona scanned the blue flowers and hovered her hand over a blue hyacinth and a blue iris. “This is the closest to what you’re looking for. The blue hyacinth means ‘constancy’, while the blue iris means ‘hope and faith’. Anything else?”

“No, these should do perfectly. Let’s see…” He looked through the shades of blue as if he was looking for something else. His eyes lit up as he spotted small flowers of baby blue. “Ah, there they are.” He gently took out a handful of forget-me-nots. “I think I will take these for today. I must press them before I use them on the canvas.”

Her eyes lingered on the forget-me-nots, her hand slightly tightening around her phone. “What are they for?” she signed.

Jhin smiled. “Believe it or not, it will also be used in my next piece. But I can’t give away anything more than that.” He held the flowers closer to him. “It will be featured in my upcoming gallery, once I finish it. Or, at least I hope it will be featured in it.” He looked up at Sona with hopeful eyes. “I was wondering if you and your mother would like to come see the grand opening. Free tickets, of course.”

She couldn’t do anything other than nod. She tried to keep a happy smile as she followed Jhin to the counter. After ringing up his purchase, she tugged at his sleeve to catch his attention. Her text read, “Come back soon?” without her text-to-speech function.

“Of course. I may even come back tomorrow. I’ll see you.” He gave her hand a gentle pat and let it linger before he left their flower shop.

Lestara was secretly watching from the back, shaking her head at how oblivious the two were to each other’s longing touches. “I’m starting to wonder—” She stopped. “Sona, dear, are you alright?”

Sona whipped around with worry darkening her face. “Mother, I think he has someone he likes. He bought forget-me-nots. Forget-me-nots!”

Oh, here we go. Lestara blinked, not having expected this reaction. “Don’t they represent reminiscing memories?”

“They also represent true love. I don’t, I really, am I wrong?” she signed in a panic. “He must like someone else if he bought forget-me-nots for his next piece… He didn’t even tell me more about it.”

“Sona, dear…”

“I was hoping… he might like me back.” Her head and shoulders drooped in dejection. “Maybe I was wrong.”

“Have you perhaps given it thought that he liked how they looked? Or how small they were to use on a canvas?”

“It’s possible…”

Lestara smiled sympathetically and hugged her daughter tightly. “Oh, Sona…” She patted her back as she leaned her chin on Sona’s hair. “Don’t you think that he might like you back?” Sona bit her lower lip and sighed through her nose. “I don’t think an uninterested person would let their touch linger like that, honey. Nor would they pat your hand before they leave. Or invite you to their upcoming gallery for free.”

“Now you’re teasing me.”

“Oh no, I’m just stating facts.” She released Sona and pecked her forehead. “You’re still young, Sona. You have plenty of time to keep trying.”

“I’m more weirded out that you’re so supportive of… this.” She gestured to her heart and the outside, referring to Jhin.

“Ah, young love. I just want to see you live a good and happy life, Sona. You’ve already graduated with a master’s degree in music. Now, you’re in love.” She paused as she seemed to have remembered something. “Actually, I believe I may have seen you fall in love with him while you were still studying. He graduated that year when you both met, if I recall correctly.”

Sona chose to ignore the last two comments. She sometimes hated how perceptive her mother was. “Didn’t you used to tell me love wasn’t the answer to a happy life?”

“It’s still not,” she immediately answered. “If it was, I would have had a husband by now. But I don’t carry much interest in that.” She chuckled at Sona rolling her eyes at her response. “But my point is that you seem happy to be in love with Jhin. If he causes you heartbreak though, I am kicking him out of the store.”

“So, you mean if he tells me that he likes someone else?”

“Exactly.”

“Mother!”

Lestara giggled mischievously as she pat Sona’s head. “Just a joke, dear. But really, I think you’ll be just fine.”

Sona sighed again. “If you say so.” She turned back to the counter, where the apology bouquet sat on top of it. “Is there anything else we could do for that bouquet?”

“All we can do is wait. He’ll be picking it up within an hour or so, if the time on his email is still correct.” Lestara tapped the email again to find the time. “Yes, he should be coming soon.” She chuckled at the email again. “Garen Crownguard. I never thought I’d live to see the day that boy breaks his usual uptight personality. To think a woman, his lover no less, would bring out a whole new side out of him.”

“Funny what love can do to people.”

“Like you?”

Sona mocked anger and nudged her mother’s shoulder. “Ha ha.”

  Orchestral covers played through Sona’s headphones as she dusted the front of the shop before taking the pots of flowers out. She stepped in sync with the music with her broom in hand, almost dancing with it like it was another person. Her steps eventually became more elaborate and turned into a dance of her own. But then she turned around.

And there was Jhin, watching in fascinated amusement with a bag slung around his shoulder.

A soft whining noise came from Sona’s throat as she crouched behind the buckets of flowers in shame. Her ears turned bright red, steam threatening to burst out as she dug her face into her skirt. There were times when she was glad she was mute. This was one of them. If she had a voice, she would have woken up the entire town with her scream.

Jhin was hiding a smile behind his hand, a light blush on his cheeks. “I apologize. I tried to let you know I was here, but you didn’t seem to hear me.” Sona started signing rapidly while still hiding her face, presumably signing every curse she knew and can think of on the top of her head. “I promise I won’t laugh. I thought it was endearing.”

Sona peeked, her face still red, and looked up at Jhin. “Promise?”

“Promise,” he signed back. He even crossed his heart.

Hesitant, Sona stood up and dusted her blue skirt. She couldn’t bear to look at Jhin in the eye while she was still blushing beet red.

“It was a lovely dance, Sona. I actually liked it,” Jhin tried to say.

She quickly pulled out her phone and furiously typed something into her phone. “No. No. No. No. I can’t tell you how embarrassed I am that you saw me. I don’t think you understand how mortified I am.”

“Would it help if I said it was… cute?”

Her blush now spread to her fingers as she typed on her phone again. “No, that’s worse, you ass.”

Jhin broke out into laughter. “But it was! You dance wonderfully, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen you dance before.”

“Shhh. Don’t.”

He snorted at how little emotion the speech function spoke in, when Sona must have been wanting to scream at him. “Before you start yelling at me again, I was wondering if you would like to stop by my studio next weekend.” He pointed behind him with his thumb. “It’s a short walk from here, and I wanted to show you some of the works I will be featuring in the gallery.”

Sona’s gaze remained on her screen. “What about your new painting?”

“It should be finished by then. I want to get your opinion on it before I show it to anyone else.”

What if his painting was for another person? Another person he liked? Another person that wasn’t her? Worry plagued her heart, but she refused to let it escape from its cage. She forced a happy smile and nodded. “I would love to see your work in person. I can be there on Saturday evening.”

“Fantastic. I will look forward to your visit.”

“Did you run out of the orchids you bought? We don’t have blue hyacinths at the moment, so you’ll have to wait until this weekend for more.”

“No. I just came to ask you about coming to my studio.”

She couldn’t help but giggle. “All this trouble for me?” she signed as a joke.

Jhin’s expression softened as he watched her laugh. “Why not?” he signed back. He slightly bowed his head to her. “Please give Miss Buvelle my regards. I’ll be heading back to my studio to work on the piece. I’ll see you soon, Sona.” He briskly walked away to hide a blush that he felt was becoming more apparent the longer he stayed.

Sona pressed her cheek against the top of the broom, stuffing her phone into her pocket, as she watched his figure disappear around the corner. She started repeatedly bumped her forehead against the tip of the broom, the memory of Jhin’s smiling eyes from catching her dance flooding back into her memory.

“Sounds like you might have a date on next Saturday,” Lestara said from behind Sona, who jumped and dropped the broom. “Am I wrong?”

“I wouldn’t call it a date. He just invited me to see his works early,” she signed with shaky hands. “It’s not like he meant it any other way.” Right?

Lestara shrugged but with a smug look. “If you say so, dear.” She went back inside without another word. Sona chased after her for answers, not knowing what her mother was thinking behind that smile of hers.

  The doorbell chimed as a woman closed the door shut behind her. There was no one around the flower shop to greet her. Strange. “Miss Lestara? Miss Sona?”

“We’ll be right there! Give us a moment!” Lestara and Sona appeared from the back, carrying a large box full of new plants.

“Oh dear. Let me help.” The woman rushed to the back to catch the corner of the box that threatened to topple over from their hands. They set it on the counter and took a moment to relax. “Glad I came just in time.”

Lestara arched her back to stretch from hunching over for the past few hours. “Our apologies, Miss Soraka. We were sorting new shipments of flowers this entire afternoon.”

Soraka chuckled. “No worries at all. Is that the last box?”

“Luckily, yes. We just need to sort these where they belong, but I think we’re in need of a break.” She gestured Sona to Soraka. “Would you mind helping her, dear? I’m going to get some water.”

Sona nodded and walked over to Soraka’s side. “Something you need today?”

“I’ve been wanting to brighten up my office after my orchids wilted while I was on a trip. Shame I couldn’t salvage them. They were completely shriveled by the time I came back.” She smelled the hibiscus and let out a satisfied smile. “I did some research about lavender recently and found that their scent has a wonderful calming effect. I thought it might be nice to have those for therapy sessions with my patients.”

Her eyes brightened as she looked at the box they carried earlier. “The lavender should be in that box. How many would you like?”

“Hmmm…” Soraka hummed in thought as she scrolled through the photos of her phone. “My office is medium-sized, and I would at least like to smell a bit of lavender whenever I walk in.

Sona tapped her chin. “I would put maybe four to five pots of lavender around the room.” She guided Soraka to the counter and took out a few varieties of lavender, sniffing for the ones with a stronger scent. She isolated a handful of stems and five handfuls of weaker-scented ones.

“Oh, that’s a lovely shade of violet.”

“You always did like that color.” Sona giggled. “Strong scented lavender might not look great, so I’m surrounding them with common ones to brighten the scent, if that makes sense.”

“I’m inclined to agree.” Soraka saved a few pages on taking care of lavender as Sona planted them in small pots. After idly watching people pass by the shop, some looking at the flowers inside, Soraka signed, “So, how are you and that young man doing?”

Sona’s fingers curled in as if they touched fire. Her eyes darted to the side in embarrassment. “Who, who do you mean?”

“You know, that young artist who’s been frequently coming here for a few years now,” Soraka signed, chuckling at Sona’s blush. “Khada Jhin, I believe his name was? I saw an advertisement that he was going to open his gallery soon.”

Her blush spread to her ears. “Does… everyone know about… him?”

“I can’t speak for everyone, but I believe some of the nearby shopkeepers might have an idea.”

Sona’s face contorted in humiliation as she slowly crouched behind the counter. Great. Just great. Not only did Soraka figure it out, but the other shopkeepers might have found out too. Is that why she saw that one barista across the street smile while she was talking to Jhin? Or those two bakers who had a weird look while Sona was excitedly talking about a new composition she made? Oh no. Everything made sense now.

“Did you tease her again, Miss Soraka?” her mother playfully scolded.

“I didn’t think it’d have that much of an effect on her,” Soraka said. She giggled as she looked over the counter. “Miss Sona, no one is judging you. There’s nothing wrong with falling in love with someone.”

“But people know now!” she furiously signed. “I know people know now! I can’t believe this.”

Soraka was about to say something until a knock on the door following the ring of the doorbell caught her attention. “Oh! If it isn’t our local artist.”

Sona sucked in a sharp breath and gripped onto the hem of Lestara’s skirt, desperately shaking her head.

“Good afternoon, Miss Buvelle. Miss Soraka. Is Sona here?”

There was a pause as Lestara and Soraka exchanged glances and then shook their heads. “She stepped out for a stroll. You just missed her.”

Slight disappointment flashed in his eyes but was quickly masked. “Ah, is that so? Perhaps you can help me, Miss Buvelle. I ran out of the white orchids due to an unexpected mistake I made. I was hoping you had more?”

“Of course, dear. They should be near the window.” Lestara walked out from the counter, her voice quiet and low as she spoke with Jhin. They weren’t close enough for Sona to hear what they were talking about, but the sudden change of tone to a surprised “oh!” worried her.

She peeked from the counter to see Lestara chuckling as she pat Jhin’s back. She took a deep breath and stood up with a nervous smile. Jhin noticed her immediately and seemed to brighten up. He went back to conversing with Lestara before approaching the counter.

“Just in time, Sona. I’m glad I caught you before I left.”

“What’s wrong?”

Jhin’s lips parted as his eyes looked up to remember something. His lips pursed in helplessness before signing, “Dinner?” He scratched the back of his head. “I wanted to ask if you would like dinner at a restaurant after I show you some of my work.”

Soraka gasped behind her fingers. “Ooh, you want to take Miss Sona out for dinner, I see,” she sang.

The artist laughed in embarrassment before looking up at Lestara. “If, if you don’t mind me picking her up early, of course, Miss Buvelle. I promise I will bring her back before her curfew, if she has one.”

Lestara joyfully shook her head. “Not at all, dear. Just bring her back safely, and I won’t kick you out of my store.”

“Of course, ma’am.” He looked at Sona, who hadn’t signed a word so far. “Don’t hesitate to let me know if you do not want to. I don’t wish to inconvenience you.”

Sona’s lips opened and closed a few times before she nodded. She held her phone up to him with a text that read, I would love to.

“Fantastic! I’ll come pick you up around sunset, if you’re fine with that?”

She nodded silently, her eyes still wide from surprise.

“How close are you to finishing your final piece, Jhin?”

“Very close. I’ve already painted the base and added the blue flowers. I just need to add in the white petals next once they crystallize.”

“What are the daffodils for?” Soraka asked. “I remember you mentioning something about a winter theme in your last work. I didn’t think you’d add yellow daffodils to this one.”

The paper crinkled in Jhin’s fingers as he brought up a bouquet of golden flowers. “I looked up a few flower meanings before I came here, and I found that daffodils are close to how I feel. The color suits the blue also.” He smiled shyly as he placed the flowers inside his bag. “I shall be taking my leave then. Good-bye.”

They waved him good-bye and turned back to Sona, who was frozen in place. Lestara cleared her throat to gain her attention. Sona blinked rapidly before she returned to reality. “I thought, I thought I was going to die of a heart attack.”

“Seems Miss Sona has a dinner date this weekend,” Soraka teased, watching Sona’s fair skin turn red. “Young love, right?”

Lestara huffed in amusement. “You’re telling me.” She helped Sona plant the rest and packing the pots in bags. “Make sure not to overwater the lavender. I’m sure your patients will love the new flowers, Miss Soraka.”

Soraka smiled as she took the bags into her hands. “I’m sure they would too. Thank you, you two. Enjoy the rest of your day!” She exited the flower shop and went on her way to her office.

After a few minutes of silence, Lestara nudged Sona on the arm. “Look at you. You get a first look at his gallery and a dinner date.”

“And it’s this Saturday, too…” Sona signed, dumbfounded.

“You mean the day after tomorrow,” Lestara stated.

Her lips tightened into a flat line when her hands stopped midair in realization. She checked the date on her phone. It was Thursday.   “It’s the day after tomorrow? Oh my god.” Sona dropped her phone on the counter and covered her face in her hands.

“Nervous?”

“More than nervous! What if I screw it up? What if I accidentally blurt out that I like him?” She pinched the bridge of her nose. “I don’t want to make it awkward between us. I definitely don’t want him to avoid me either.”

Lestara cleared her throat to suppress a chuckle. “Sona, honey, you’re worrying too much. Just let the date happen. Just let whatever happens happen.”

“That’s not easy to do, mother. Especially when you’re in front of someone you like.” Sona sighed and picked her phone back up again. She tapped on the email from Jhin that contained two free tickets for her and her mother to his upcoming gallery. Her eyes then darted to the side. “He bought daffodils.”

“He did.”

Daffodils had different meanings depending on the context. It usually meant a regard for the other, a message for a lover, or… Unrequited love, she thought. Sona sighed again in dejection. There was no way he could have been talking about her, right? If other shopkeepers knew about her affection towards Jhin, he must have known too. Was this meant to be an indirect, but polite way of telling her he can’t reciprocate her feelings?

Lestara clapped her hands to snap Sona out of her thoughts. “Now I know you’re overthinking things.” She smiled and kissed Sona’s head. “I promise you as your mother and a fellow woman that your feelings won’t be taken for granted.” She chuckled when Sona raised a brow in confusion. “You’ll see what I mean.”

  “Mother, is this dress really necessary?” Sona’s phone read. “This seems like overkill.”

“You call this overkill for a dinner date? It’s just a dress, dear.”

Sona was wearing a v-neck blue dress with golden flowers designed into the hem and climbing up to the waistline. She pulled her white cardigan closer to her chest in embarrassment. She typed into her phone. “But this is the dress I wore for my performances.”

Lestara turned Sona around to look at her outfit. She shrugged. “I don’t see anything wrong with wearing this to a dinner date. It becomes a casual-formal dress without the sash and cape you wear anyways.”

“I guess.”

“Jhin should be arriving to the flower shop soon, so you head down first. I’ll be watching from the back.”

Hesitation planted her feet into the wooden stairs that lead upstairs from the flower shop to their home. “Are you sure this is a good idea?”

“More than certain, honey. Now get out there!” Lestara gently helped Sona down the stairs to the back of the shop. “Tell me everything that happens when you get back, okay?”

Sona couldn’t understand why her mother was more excited about this than she was. But she had no time to question her. Jhin was probably waiting in the shop. She nervously stepped out of the door to see Jhin in a fuschia collared shirt and a grey vest on top with black slacks. He was checking his watch before looking up to see Sona by the door tucking in a strand of hair behind her ear.

He gave her a heartwarming smile that made her want to melt. “You look… beautiful,” he signed.

A blush colored her cheeks as her lips curled into a smile against her fingers. “Thank you,” she signed back. “I’m ready to go when you are.”

“Great.” He opened the door of the shop and gestured outside. “After you.” He gave Lestara, who poked her head out to wave him good-bye, a bow of his head before escorting her to his studio. “How was your day today?”

Sona scratched her cheek before answering with her phone, “Good! Garen stopped by today to thank us for the bouquet we made last week for Miss Katarina. He gave us some cooking supplies since he didn’t know what else to give us. His words.”

Jhin chuckled to himself. “I find it amusing to see them try so hard to hide their relationship when everyone knows already. Well, almost everyone. But I admire their effort.” He noticed that Sona was a little more quiet than usual. He slightly bent his back to her level, stepping a little closer to her. “Is something on your mind?”

She did a double-take at Jhin, letting out a breath she was holding in. Quick, think of something. “Sorry. I've never seen your work in person before, so I'm excited to see your final piece too. You finished it, right?”

“I did. The crystallizing of the orchid petals took some time, but I managed to get it finished.” He squeezed the strap of his shoulder bag as he pursed his lips, turning around the corner with Sona following next to him. “Uh, Sona, can I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“Do you think it strange to draw someone you're inspired by? Someone you've been friends with for a while, but you want to change that?”

This question might have been risky, but Sona couldn't handle the suspense anymore. “Is your Butterflies piece a confession?” she spelled out the last word in letters.

Jhin gazed at her in surprise. “I… yes… was it that obvious?”

She knew it. Sona smiled a little sadly, nodding.

He exhaled, holding his hand to his face. “I suppose you would've figured it out eventually, since the flowers I used had a romantic context to their meaning.” He hummed in thought as he looked at Sona, who seemed to droop like a wilting rose. Something clicked in his head. She didn't realize it yet, did she? “Sona,” he called out to her with the gentlest voice. When Sona refused to look at him, he slipped his hand under hers, surprising her to look at him. “You’ll like what I made. I'm sure you will understand it immediately.”

They stopped in front of a building painted white and maintained cleanly. Jhin guided her upstairs to a door, unlocking it with a key and opening it for her to see. Sona was greeted by canvases and canvases of flowers painted onto them with oils, acrylics, charcoals, and so many other mediums. She breathed out in speechlessness. There were no words to describe how stunning each piece looked up close.

Many flowers were either pressed or fixed to maintain their fresh appearance, but they were beautifully incorporated into each artwork without looking gaudy or like an afterthought.

Jhin watched Sona observe his work with such mesmerization that he wondered how she would react to what he made for his final piece. He idly walked around the room as Sona went through each canvas. “My apologies for the scattered arrangement. I had to move them all to my living room to make the transferring easier for the moving people.”

Oh, so this was his apartment.

This was his apartment.

Sona felt her ears turn hot. She brushed her hair near her head to hide them as she moved onto the canvas hung up on the wall, covered by a beige sheet and lit by a spotlight. She turned to Jhin, who urged her to be the one to reveal the final masterpiece. Sona turned back to the canvas. It was one of the largest canvas among his other work, and she was able to see the flower petals pop from behind the sheet. Her hand slowly grabbed onto the corner of the sheet.

Jhin had held her hand before they arrived, reassuring her that she would like it.

She pulled it off the canvas, wondering what was hidden underneath.

He said that she would understand it immediately.

Her breath caught in her throat as the sheet revealed the artwork behind it. She stepped back in awe, looking at the whole canvas.

It was her. Her hair was colored with pressed forget-me-nots with the blue hyacinths accenting the former’s bright blue. The flowers hid her eyes, but she smiled in the painting, her breath turning into crystallized orchids that looked like butterflies and white wisps of paint. On her ear was a bouquet of daffodils, which protruded out the most from the pressed hyacinths and crystallized orchids. She looked so beautiful.

“What do you think? It was hard to come up with a message that wasn't so straightforward.” He lowered his head with a shy smile. “This is how I wanted to convey my feelings to you before I displayed it in my gallery.”

Sona slowly turned to Jhin in surprise. This had to mean differently. Was this piece… really for her?

Jhin chuckled nervously. “I've been practicing this for the past week, but please bear with me. I'm still not very fast at sign language.” He cleared his throat and brought his hands up. “I fell in love with you a few years ago, when we were friends. It was winter, when you were back for winter break. I was going through dark times, but I remember when you approached me with a bouquet of roses of all colors because you saw that I didn't seem like myself recently.” He took a deep breath. “You told me how flowers contain a beauty of their own, like how you saw my art containing a hidden beauty. I began experimenting with my art, and thanks to your bouquet, I was able to start my next painting using those roses. Your kind and faithful words brought me back up to my feet, and I began to fall deeper in love with you since then.”

Sona’s heart began racing as she interpreted his signs.

“At first, I tried to hold it back. I didn't want to ruin the friendship we already had. But then, I saw that our feelings may have been mutual.”

A squeak came from Sona as she covered her mouth with her hands. “You knew?! You knew all this time?!”

Jhin averted his gaze. “I expected this reaction, and I still don't know how to respond to it. Ehm… How do I say this… I didn't want to assume your feelings, so I kept telling myself that it was just me and my own feelings.”

Sona then started typing into her phone. “And to think I thought you had feelings for someone else this past week. I am stupidly embarrassed.” She crouched on the floor and dug her head into her knees.

A quiet chuckle soon turned into laughter. “You really thought I had feelings for someone else? Why else would I visit the flower shop so frequently, especially those times when I went to buy just one flower?”

“Work, maybe,” she signed while still hiding her face.

“When I could have gone to any other flower shop in town?”

“Shut up.” She lifted her head to type into her phone. “I want to crawl into a hole and live there forever.”

Jhin kneeled in front of Sona after recovering from his bout of laughter. “Then how would you see the rest of what I want to say to you?” He patiently waited for Sona to meet his eyes, her own hesitant but asking him to continue. He chuckled before signing again. “I wanted to convey my feelings to you before it was too late. Before I finally decided to tell myself to give up.” He pointed to his masterpiece above them. “Everything about you is so beautiful and elegant like the orchids, from the way you talk about flowers to the way you dance to your music.”

Sona playfully slapped him on the arm for the last part, shaking her head with a smile on her face and earning another laugh from him.

“My feelings for you have never wavered, and I've always loved how sincere you were in our conversations—like the blue hyacinths. But my heart would never forget you. I couldn’t forget the way you left my heart longing for you. Just like the forget-me-nots.”

“And the daffodils?” she asked, pointing to the golden flowers that adorned her hair.

“Oh, those.” Jhin cupped Sona’s hands in his and gazed into her eyes with a loving expression. “The daffodils weren't meant to represent unrequited love, if what I assume you were thinking earlier was correct. I wanted to say that the sun always shines brighter when you are around. Even when it storms or overcast, you brighten up my day.” He brushed a lock of hair away from Sona’s eyes. “I suppose what I want to ask is, would you like to go out with me?”

Sona, overwhelmed by joy, nodded and threw her arms around his neck, holding him tightly in her embrace. Happiness wasn't enough to describe the feelings that wanted to burst out of her. But she was so happy. So ecstatic. Their feelings were mutual after all. She felt his arms wrap around her back, holding her tightly. They lingered a moment longer before releasing each other.

The clicking of her keyboard filled in the silence as she typed a message. “If I rejected you, what were you going to do with the painting?”

“I was going to ask for your consent to hang it up in the gallery. I wouldn't have, if you felt uncomfortable about it.”

“I'm more impressed that you thought about different scenarios.”

“Well, with a confession like mine, I had to take them into consideration. But I'm glad it turned out for the best.” Jhin kissed the back of her hand before helping her stand up. “So, how would you like that dinner to be our first date?”

Sona snorted and typed into her phone again. “Were you planning on the dinner to be a date?”

He admittedly shrugged. “Only if it turned out you reciprocated my feelings. Otherwise, I would've taken you out as a friend.”

She rolled her eyes with a smile and linked her arm with his. “Then what are we waiting for? We should get dinner soon.”

“Gladly.” They walked out of his apartment, Sona leaning her head on his shoulder while Jhin nuzzled his cheek against her hair.

  Guests immediately noted the gentle aroma of flowers when they entered Jhin’s gallery, attracted by the burst of color beyond the glass windows. They wandered around the gallery, looking at Jhin’s artworks in awe. A few repeatedly stepped back and closer to examine the techniques and strokes. In front of each canvas was an open glass box that contained a vase of flowers used for the painting, the flowers neatly arranged to compliment each other, and a plaque that stated the meanings of the flowers.

The bigger canvases lured crowds to their beauty, but the most crowded was “Butterflies”, which displayed a vase of white orchids, blue hyacinths, forget-me-nots, daffodils, and two pink ambrosias in the center. The guests approached the vase to read the meanings, but the ambrosia’s was missing.

Where was the artist responsible for these gorgeous paintings though?

Jhin stood among the crowd beside Sona and Lestara and watched the guests marvel at his work while guiding the two around.

“It's so clever how the artist stained the petals. It almost looks natural.”

“Doesn't it? I especially love how he uses roses frequently in his works. I've been following his Insta since he started posting his flower series.”

“No way, he has an account? Send me the name, I want to see more stuff he made!”

Sona elbowed Jhin. “Your Insta is going to flood with comments and new followers later. How do you feel about that?”

“A little overwhelmed, but at least my art will be known more,” he signed back. He placed his hand on his chest and exhaled. “I'm nervous to make a speech though. I'm not good with crowds.”

“You'll be fine!” Sona held his hand and gave it a little squeeze to reassure him. “I'll be near you when you do.”

“Thanks.” Jhin squeezed her hand back.

Lestara cleared her throat. “I think I'm going to leave you two alone for a bit. I'll be wandering around the gallery, dears.” She chuckled, walking away to another painting with a little wave of her fingers.

Jhin and Sona flushed red in realization Lestara was watching them this entire time. They couldn't bring her back by the time they recovered. She was too far and preoccupied with a conversation with another guest, Soraka. They decided to move on to the next painting, hand-in-hand.

“I wonder why there's no price tag on that one,” a young woman with golden hair mused. “All the other ones do.”

“Eh, maybe the artist got lazy and didn't even bother,” another young woman in an apparel jacket muttered.

“Come on, Jinx, there's no way the artist got that lazy. I mean, look at all these artworks! How could he miss a price tag if he painted these with such careful detail?”

The other listlessly shrugged with a crooked, lazy smile. “I dunno. Art’s not really my thing, Lux. I'd rather go play with some fireworks.”

Lux rolled her eyes with a sigh. “Alright, my little pyromaniac. Let's keep going.” She pulled Jinx to another painting, Jinx protesting but compliantly following along.

Sona raised a brow at their conversation and turned to Jhin. “You're not selling “Butterflies”?”

“I wanted to keep it. It holds a special meaning to me, after all.” He brought Sona’s hand up to kiss the tips of her fingers. “How could I sell a piece that depicts the feelings and memories I've had with someone I love?” He and Sona softly laughed to themselves as they pressed foreheads. The beeping of his watch caught his attention. “It's time for the speech. Wish me luck.”

Sona signed to do his best and gave his hand another squeeze afterwards as they made their way to his “Butterflies” piece, where most of the guests now gathered to hear the speech.

Oh, this was more people than he thought there would be. He gripped Sona’s hand tighter before letting go and walked to the front. “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Khada Jhin, the artist of this gallery. I thank you for attending the grand opening, and I was very pleased to hear that everyone enjoys what I've painted.”

“And he says he has stage fright,” Lestara joked under her breath to Sona.

A giggle shook Sona’s shoulders. After he finished his speech, she joined the crowd to applause Jhin for his hard work and effort.

“I am open to questions, if anyone has any. Otherwise, please feel free to look around more.”

A smaller crowd drew closer to Jhin as the rest dispersed to the rest of the gallery or to find the exit. Sona stepped closer to Jhin, now half an arm’s length away, to remind him of her support.

“Is Khada Jhin your real name, sir?”

“No, it is just an alias. But it's a name I've come to think of as a second name, so I don't mind being called that.”

“What inspired you to start your flower series? They're all so gorgeous!” Lux asked excitedly.

Jhin glanced at Sona, whose eyes smiled at his gaze. “It's more of a case of ‘who’. A longtime friend of mine gave me the inspiration I needed to try something new. A different vision. It's thanks to her that I was able to become this successful.”

“Is she the lady that's on your big painting right here?” Jinx asked.

Straightforward, that girl was. Jhin cleared his throat. “Yes, she is. She has become a special person in my life, and that is why I dedicated my final masterpiece to her.”

“Is that piece available for purchase, by any chance?” someone asked.

“No. This is a piece that holds a special place in my heart. I have no plans on selling this one.” A few murmurs of disappointment sounded from potential buyers, but he didn't care. This one stayed. “Please feel free to look at my other works, however. I assure you they are just as good, and they will be available for delivery starting the week after next.”

“So where’s the lucky girl in that painting?” Sona turned to see the barista across the street with the two bakers behind him. Oh gods. They were doing this on purpose. Her ears turned red when she turned back to Jhin, who gazed at her lovingly and reached out to hold her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers.

“She’s right here… my friend who has become much more to me, now my significant other.”

Gasps and sounds of endearment sounded from the crowd.

“That is what the ambrosia means.”
