It's just another peaceful day in Mondstadt. The sun shone into your florist shop making it looks warm. You were picking some unique flowers to make a beautiful and colorful bouquet.

As you are done doing the bouquet, you wrap it nicely yet carefully and put it on the desk beside you. You dust off your hands and take off your gloves putting them inside the pocket of the apron that you are wearing. You went to a door that leads to a room that has a small garden of flowers. You take the key out of your apron and unlock the door while humming a soft tune.

Slowly walking into the room and straight ahead to beautiful and shiny flowers. You stare at the flower while a small smile tugged on your face. "Hello, my precious flowers." You went to the window beside you and opens it as wide as you could. The air escapes into the room. Your hair drifted with the fresh air and at the same time taking a deep breath and let it go with a sigh. Suddenly you smile at yourself as you hoping for a lot of customers today.

You look at the beautiful flowers again. Walking casually to a small table and take the watering can and then walks to the first shelf that full of lovely bloomed flowers. Watering it while singing a song, you moved from shelf to shelf while dancing calmly.

As you were in the middle of the dancing, the front door's bell chimes making you startled and look in the direction quickly. You put the watering can back and then taking off your apron, putting it on the same table. You dust off your dress and then fix your hair for the last time and take a deep breath again.

You walk toward the door and holds the doorknob, opening the door quickly, you greet the customer with a friendly smile. "Welcome to my florist shop, my dear customer!" The customer didn't move at all. He just stands there and stares at you. His eyes suddenly start to linger at you and then stops at your face. You smile at him again and welcome him to enter your shop. He walks around the shop and starts to touch the flowers.

You widened your eyes as the flowers start to bloom and glowing when the customer touches the flowers lightly. He brushes off his hands and then looks at you. You are startled and then cleans your throats nervously. "Do you need anything, sir?" The guy stares at you coldly but then he looks away at the flowers. "I search for some flowers that are red and glowing in golden if it was touched. I think it's called Glory Fire?" He explained and looks at you back.

You think about the flower again and then nod your head rapidly. "Yes! Follow me!" You wave your hands towards yourself and then walk fastly to the room again. Opening the door, the winds blown through yours and his hair. "So what's your name?" You ask while walking towards your precious flowers and lift the pot towards the guy. He was amazed by how beautiful and a lot of flowers in this small room, "Diluc" He replied at the same time. "I'm y/n l/n. Is this what are you talking about?" You show the flowers and smirks wafted. Your long hair jiggling and wafted through the air.

He stares at the flowers and touches the petals. The petals glowing and emitting some golden dust at the same time just like when you blown fires. You're amazed by the beauties of the flowers. A small smile tugged on Diluc's lips.

"Welp. This is exactly what you wanted, right? Here. Take it." You hand him the flowers with the pot since you didn't realize about it. He confusedly looks at you and the flowers repeatedly. He then hands the flowers to you back. "I can not take it." You raised an eyebrow and ask him. "Why can't?" He looks at you. "Because it's precious for you, isn't it?" He asked politely.

You widened your eyes and giggles at him and then hand the flowers back to him.

He stares at you blankly and froze there while holding the flowers you landed. "But... How can you give something precious to some kind of stranger?" He asks curiously. You smile at him trying to be more positive. "Flowers can be found anywhere. We could even plant it. So it's not a thing, you know?" You said while walking toward a shelf full of glowing flowers. "Not taking care of it wisely...only will cause them dead and make us regret. I can't take care of all of these flowers. Imagine if all of it died one day...how big the regret I'll have for this?"

The customer was surprised to see your words and also your expression suddenly turn dull. "I can't take it. Really. It looks very special and important to you. Here. Bye." He lends you the flower back on your hand. You stand there still while making a confused face that you always do when you fade out while taking care of the customers.

He rushes out towards the door but then you chase for him. "Wait. Dil-!" You tripped on the table and fell but the flowers aren't in your hand. "T-the flower!" You look above your head and saw the flower is falling right on your head. You cover your head using your both palms and bend down a little. But then, you didn't feel any pot touching your head.

"Huh?" You open your eyes slowly and lookup. You were surprised to see Diluc holding the flowers with the pot too right on time. "You alright?" He asks you while holding the pot with both his hands. You nod rapidly in response and then stares at the flowers. "Thanks for saving it." He stares at you blankly and sighs. "You should take care of it more carefully. You will regret it if it dies." You were surprised.

Suddenly, your eyes full of tears. Diluc surprised. He outs the flower on the table and kneels at you checking you around to see if you hurt. "T-thanks... For saving the flowers." Diluc looks at you. "It's not a big deal." You sob and wipes your tears away.

"I used to work here with a precious person. His smiles always make me happy. His voice makes me fell in love with him for the second time... But one day, he got a disease. I tried to take care of him, but he died. I regret on that day and swore to him, that I'll take good care of these flowers... Mostly the one that he likes, Glory Fire. I think it's because the flowing or it's hard to find it anywhere..."

Diluc's eyes widened after you said the flower's name. "I'm sorry for that... " He said. You look at him and giggle. "It's alright and thanks! I'm glad you save the flower!" You hug him tightly. Diluc froze again and pats your back. He looks at you but then a slight smile tugged on his lips. "You smiled!" Diluc is shocked and stops smiling, looking away and blushing. "Ahem. I guess I don't need to be here anymore. I'll just go now."

You let him go in sadness as you know that you will be alone back. You just stand there watching him twist the doorknob slowly. But then he stops right in the middle when he was stepping out of the shop.

"I'll come here again and help you sometimes. You might drop another pot." Your reaction turns bright letting a happy grin on your face. Diluc smiled again and then walks out of the shop closing the door from behind.

You giggle at him again and then put the precious flowers to their place back. You smile at the flowers again and flash back some memories of your lover. "I think I fell in love again, dear. One day, this shoo will be full of customers and more flowers again. I promise... " You said after touches one of the petals making it glowing. Then you continue to water the flowers.
