《roses》 ☆bfb/bfdi au☆ [COMPLETE]

8. her

coiny

it's been a while since i saw leafy.
i hope she's doing okay.
i should go check on her.

i made my way towards golf ball's lab.

i kinda feel bad for her.
she tries so hard to make everyone happy, and then everything turns out backfiring.
though, to be fair, some of her problems are her fault...

once i'm finally there, i notice something.
actually, no, not just something.

the entrance is covered in prickly vines.

"wuh...what the mint happened here!?"

golf ball and tennis ball turned to me, absolutely wrecked. it seems they've been staying up working on an antidote, and they're too tired to even say anything.

"where's...leafy...?"

"coiny-we were going to tell you sooner-leafy isn't here anymore. she's not-it's not-even leafy anymore," golf ball breathed.

"it escaped, and now we have to make it our top priority that this antidote gets finished," tb says, not even looking away from his flasks.

wait, what?
"...it?"

"rose."

...

no. she's still leafy, i know it.

i find myself running up the hill towards the manor leafy loved.

but where could she be?

i slammed open the door, nearly breaking it.

"LEAFY!? ARE YOU HERE!?"

i look around for a bit until my eyes rest on something in the dead center.
something about it...diminishes my hope...just a little.

long, red hair cascades down her back and sharp vines wrap around her body. leafy is facing away from the door, hugging her arms and shaking. something about how helpless she looks makes me want to comfort her, to whisper reassuring words as i hold her...no, no, no.
she's helpless for a reason. there's...rose...controlling her.

leafy breaks the silence. "i'm so glad you came for me, coiny...!"

w...wait a second. this feels...off. she sounds like leafy, but she doesn't feel like her.

"l...leafy?"

she turns to face me, laughing. "i never thought you cared as much as you did. i'm so thankful for that."

leafy makes her way over to me, maintaining eye contact. she was a bit taller than me, but it made her all the more intimidating.

...and gorgeous.
everything around me melts, and i feel like i've forgotten everything.

all i can think about is her.

i could feel the redness creeping onto my face, and i practically heard my heart screaming.

"hey, coiny..."

"y...yeah...?" i mumbled. my mint, she was so close...

my gaze flickered between her half-lidded eyes and her...lips...
and, before i could register what was happening, she gripped my shoulders and pulled me in to...

kiss.
her.

i wish i could replay the moment again.
forever and ever.
her lips were so soft, her hair was like velvet, her embrace felt like something i could learn to love, over and over again.

she smelled like lemons...and...roses.

roses?

i felt her mouth pulling into a vile grin as her grip on me tightened. leafy pulled away, and when i looked into her eyes, i finally saw rose take her place.

"coiny, nobody has ever made me feel special like you did, so..."

the vines on its arms slowly crept its way onto mine.

"i just want to keep you to myself..."

they coil around me.

"forever..."

its grip seemed to get tighter...and tighter...

"is that...so bad?"

Uh oh !!! Coiny gets fucking kidnapped !!!!

i think i got carried away lol.
also i have like zero experience writing kiss/intimacy scenes so like. Whoops. sorry if it sucked.

also coiny is in denial

he still thinks leafy is...well, leafy, which is why he refers to rose as a she instead of it. Until he gets "snapped back to reality." Lol
