"BASILLL!!!!"
"what."
"do you remember when we were like sixteen and we had just met and i saw your house for the first time and i was like WOAH there's so many flowers it's gorgeous and you should totally teach me some gardening and flower skills someday??"
"...no????"
"okay, well... it happened. my source is trust me bro. and i think today is a perfect bright and SUNNY day for us to buy and plant some flowers!'
"that... is so true."
"see? i'm a genius. let's go, let's go!! to FIX-IT we goooo!! WOOOO ADVENTURE!!" i say, walking out the door, BASIL in hand.
"i swear, everyday i think you can't possibly get anymore energetic, and everyday KEL turns you into even more of an energetic person. unsure of how he does it."
on the way there, BASIL interrogates me about my flower knowledge.
"soo... what flowers do you wanna buy??"
"hmm... i dunno. something pretty... something elegant... something that will bring all the bees to our yard... and they're like... it's better than KEL's..."
"i thought you hated bees."
"it was... it was a joke." i sigh. "KEL was right when he said you're dull..."
"EXCUSE ME??"
"it had to be said, my love... you just don't understand..."
"i can't believe i have to put up with you everyday," he laughs.
"you love it."
"when we get our flowers, WHICH YOU WANT SO BADLY, are you going to actually HELP ME take care of them, or are you gonna force me to do it all?"
"i'll help!! i promise!!"
"if you don't... i will tell everyone about the great burnt noodle debacle of 2021."
"NOOOO NOT THE NOODLES," i yell.
we both laugh as we continue towards FIX-IT. when we get there, we go to the flower seed section.
"BASIL!! look at this one!!"
"ooh... amethyst in snow. that ones pretty. not as pretty as you, though."
i blush. "tbh i just like the name."
he laughs. "you're so simple. do you wanna get it?"
"yes, yes!!"
he grabs it off the shelf and continues looking.
"ah... Y/N. look at this one. blue poppy... this one will surely bring all the bees to our yard."
"oh my god we're gonna have so many bees in our yard."
"this is your fault, not mine. come on, let's pick out one more."
"oh!! look at this one!! it's so pretty!! hmm... nora leigh garden phlox? who the fuck names a flower such a complicated name? just name it... bob or something... the fuck..."
BASIL laughs, but i think it's more from disappointment. "that is pretty. will this be our last flower?"
"yes!!"
"are you sure??"
"...yes??"
"okay."
"WELL NOW I DON'T KNOW."
"why?? you seemed to really want it."
"because you asked me if i was sure!"
"i'm just saying... i'm not coming back to get a different flower when you change your mind and realize you want something else!"
