[rosetta-j-stone]

The flowers are on the doorstep when Kris comes back from the shops. At first he thinks they're from a fan of the band, or they've been delivered to the wrong address. But he checks the gift card attached to the bag anyway. And then he KNOWS.

...

The rest of the band will later claim they've been "working hard on the creative process" while he's been out but it looks suspiciously like "the creative process" has involved at least one game of Jenga. Probably Jan and Nace vs Jure and Bojan, as usual. It's exactly as chaotic as it sounds.

Whatever.

Kris is more interested in focusing on keeping a perfect poker face anyway-

"-oooooh did someone get Krisko FLOWERS?"

-unlike SOME people he could mention. Not for the first time, he looks at his singer sitting there grinning with a look in his eye that says "I am a freaking GENIUS" and thinks "He's lucky he's hot".

He shoots Bojan a look that says I'm onto you and Really?!? and Wait till I get you alone all at once. He'd like to claim that it's because he's a multitasking queen (he is, incidentally. It's on his résumé and everything) but the truth is he's had plenty of opportunities to perfect that look. And...he's not too proud to admit it...it gets results.

...

Bojan is a freaking genius.

It's almost a shame that he and Kris have been pulling this stunt for too long to let the rest of the guys in on the secret, because he's DYING to see how they'd react.

(First and foremost, he knows, they'd be *super jealous*, because Kris is...well. He's Kris. HELLO)

Personally, he blames whoever threw that first tiara on stage. You dress up your guitarist ONE TIME and suddenly he's #theprettiestprincess and...other things...and there's no going back.

Not that he wants to.

Anyway. Where was he?

Oh right. Being a freaking genius.

He grins and asks, oh-so-innocently, who the flowers are from. Kris doesn't even dignify that with a response, but tosses the gift card at him with - Bojan considers - slightly more force than is *strictly* necessary.

"They're for someone called..." (a tiny pause. almost imperceptible. almost.) "...Kamila...anyone you know?" Kris arches one of those perfect eyebrows and gives him a look that - to those not in the know - says he's already 100% done with this particular conversation.

Bojan, being, well, in the know, knows otherwise. Good thing he's been working on his poker face.

...

Bojan has NO POKER FACE WHATSOEVER.

Honestly, it'd be embarrassing if it wasn't also hilarious.

Jan hides a smirk as he bends his head over his guitar (because SOME OF US were, in fact, working hard on the creative process just now, excuse you KRIS) ... but catches Nace's eye from across the room as he does so and

oh hell

well now he can't look anywhere for the next hour or so.

When he gets that twinkle in his eye Nace looks about 5 years younger and...let's just say Jan hasn't quite figured out how he feels about pursuing that particular line of thought.

Fortunately he *has* figured out exactly how to fake being off in his own world because when you're an introvert in a band which also contains Bojan and Jure you have to develop these kinds of skills. Still, even without looking he can sense Nace is just as tickled by the situation as he is. He sighs and gives up any attempt to continue working on that solo he could FEEL taking shape earlier. "Anyone want coffee?" he asks.

Everyone does, which is what he's counted on. Now he can retreat to the kitchen and hide for a bit. Win-win.

5...4...3...2...his phone pings, right on cue.

#cantspell_nacejordan_withoutjan: Do they really not know we know? <insert FRIENDS gif here>

#conspiracytheorist: Please. That's Bojan's signature "no one knows I'm a genius" face.

#conspiracytheorist: PS: FRIENDS references? Could you *be* more of a dork? : P

#conspiracytheorist: PPS: Why are you texting me instead of coming out here to talk like a normal person?

#cantspell_nacejordan_withoutjan: Because this is too good to miss obviously ; )

#cantspell_nacejordan_withoutjan: Want to place bets on how long Bojci lasts before he cracks and tells us EVERYTHING?

#cantspell_nacejordan_withoutjan: Jure reckons 15 more minutes

#conspiracytheorist: You guys are so immature

#conspiracytheorist: Also a tenner says he cracks in less than 5 minutes

#cantspell_nacejordan_withoutjan: You're on ; )

Jan grins, puts his phone in his pocket, and gets on with making the coffee.

Also I guess I really am a BoKris shipper now because my first thought was, WHAT IF

Bojan sometimes calls Kris "Kamila" when it's just the two of them as a reference to Kris's princess status

Bojan likes buying people flowers because (i) it's romantic and (ii) he gets to make a pun on his own surname EVERY TIME

Ergo, the flowers are a present from Bojan to Kris, a romantic gesture hidden in plain sight

Kris knows all of this but they both find it funny to pretend they don't know who the flowers are from or for

The rest of the band know exactly what's going on but they find it funny that neither Bojan nor Kris has realised this

For fandom ask: Portal and Deltarune

Aight! Thanks for the ask 💖. First DR, then Portal.

DeltaRune: a game I'm rather neutral about, but the one which I enjoy nonetheless.

The first character I first fell in love with: Susie. Was excited for her ever since she was just a neighbour's daughter mentioned by that one Clamgirl character you encounter via the FUN-related event in UT. She was the highlight of the 1st chapter for me, and in the 2nd the love got even stronger. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Berdly, this poor little dum-dum bastard... Also Lancer, to a degree - he's just a kid, your honor. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Rouxls, Jevil, Ralsei... Found the 1st chapter's Darkners kinda underwhelming in general. The character I love that everyone else hates: ...There are people who... hate DR characters? Why? Though if I had to choose, Queen, I guess? The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Got severely disappointed in Ralsei's portrayal in 2nd chapter. He was more interesting in the 1st one, even though I wasn't a full-blown fan even then. The character I would totally smooch: Kris. Platonically, if they agree to be smooched. And provide them with hot cocoa and a blanky afterwards. As a fellow member of "sleeping in class and barely communicating with classmates" club, I know they deserved it. The character I’d want to be like: The original starwalker. Dead serious. The sheer confidence they radiate is off the charts. The character I’d slap: Spamton, as a self-defence measure. He's a fun fellow and a great character, but the way the whole fanbase is oversaturated with him gets overbearing (no shade, he's just got too much personality to handle in large doses). A pairing that I love: Susie/Noelle, because it's the cheesiest and most vanilla in the best way possible. Also saw Queen/Spamton once; it was... interesting, if only because it reminded me of certain other pairing, though I feel I'll never respect myself again if I ever catch myself think about the former in any serious capacity. A pairing that I despise: Kris/Berdly is kinda cool, but I think it contradicts and even undermines canon when interpreted romantically. They're 100% besties and speedrunning rivals tho, that's for sure.

Portal: my beloved, one of the absolute classics that shaped my teenage years.

The first character I first fell in love with: Wheatley uwu *avoids rotten eggs thrown at me*. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: The longer I spent in this fandom, the more I fell in love with Caroline and, subsequentally, GLaDOS; this also applies to Doug in a way, I was mildly curious about him, but if it wasn't for Alex, I'd never appreciate him as much as I do now. And the Cores from the first game. The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Cave Johnson (he's fun to hate, but deserves no sympathy), and the Core Squad... just a bit though, they're fun, but not that interesting. The character I love that everyone else hates: Oh, you know ;^) *cries in the corner*. The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Mr. Johnson, unsurprisingly. The more I thought about Caroline, the less I started to like him. The character I would totally smooch: All the turrets and all the first game Cores. Doug also gets the Kris treatment (as does Chell, though I doubt she'll accept direct help). The character I’d want to be like: Role models? In this game? Lmao. Saying "Chell" doesn't count, it's a copout, everybody wants to be like her. The character I’d slap: Cave "OSHA representatives DNI" Johnson - he even gets a bald head later in life, perfect for slapping! And, of course, Wheats. Wheats doesn't get from me unharmed, ohh no. A pairing that I love: *chants erratically, banging two pans together* WheatDOS, WheatDOS, WheatDOS till the day I die. Rickley was also fun while it lasted... Ooh, and Wheatley/Curiosity! No pattern detected, wdym, I don't just want him to be happier by any means. A pairing that I despise: Chelley. Just... god, no. Why. And, to a lesser degree, Caveline: I get why it works for most, but my Cave allergy is just that strong. Despite the popular opinion, my stance on ChellDOS is absolutely neutral, full-on Switzerland, y'all do you.
