Banana Flower (A Vocaloid Ship Flowlen Story)

Hachi Hachi Flower Fight Pt. 3

Time had passed and Ame was knocking on the door. "Phoenix..hey..Phoenix?" She opened the door to find him asleep. It was dinnertime, and he wasn't awake. Ame sighed and smiled at the sight. It was quite rare to see him rest. She walked over shaking him lightly. "Hey...wake up! It's dinner time." He groaned in response, pulling his blanket up over himself further. Ame frowned. "Hey..don't tell me. Is Hana bothering ya?" Ame clenched her fists, looking at Phoenix who had now just jolted up. "W-What?!" Phoenix's updo was now out, and it seems his hair pins were on the floor. "No..no! She didn't do anything.. Ame, she just came here!" Phoenix seemed more focused on Hana rather than Ame looking at him confused. "Come again?" Ame asked curiously. Phoenix sighed. "Never mind. It seems I have fallen asleep." He slightly blushed grabbing his fan. "So..shall we go?" Phoenix gazed at Ame with a elegance and poise. Ame chuckled, "Well..not like that no." She held her brother's long hair. "Let me fix this.." Phoenix blushed, letting his older twin sister do his hair. Ame knew well that Phoenix had some trouble with his hair. He'd always be trying to make it look perfect, but never getting much of an outcome. "There you are~" Ame finished fixing Phoenix's hair. "Now..let's go eat! Butterfly's waiting as she got ready herself." Ame smiled at the mention of her lover. "Oh..and Hana is there too." She grimaced. Phoenix only chuckled. "Oh cmon Ame...Butterfly will meet Hana too! Her judgement is quite practical if I do say so myself." Ame only sighed, "Yeah yeah..cmon." She held Phoenix's hand gently leading him towards the meal room. As they entered the meal room, they were greeted by the sight of Butterfly and Hana sitting at the table, chatting happily. Butterfly smiled as she saw Ame and Phoenix walking towards them. "Hey, you two! How was your nap, Phoenix?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with amusement.Phoenix blushed slightly and nodded. "It was good, thank you. Sorry for falling asleep, though," he said, looking at Butterfly apologetically.Butterfly laughed. "Don't worry about it. You needed some rest." She then turned to Ame. "How are you doing, Ame? Are you feeling any better?" Ame nodded. "Yes my Butterfly." Butterfly giggled. "That's good to hear! Well, I'm just talking to our new guest! She was just telling me about her adventures!" Butterfly grabbed the rice bowl and her chopsticks. "Do tell me more!" She snarfed some rice down her mouth as Hana chuckled. "Of course.. that is, if they'd like to hear it." Hana gazed at Phoenix taking in the beauty. Phoenix only put his fan up to his face, nodding. "Of course, make sure I don't fall asleep again." He joked, sitting down as Ame sat with him, glaring at Hana with a little annoyance.Hana noticed Ame's glare and quickly spoke up. "Oh, I hope I didn't cause any trouble. I just wanted to come say hello to everyone and share my stories," she said, smiling apologetically.Butterfly smiled at Hana reassuringly. "Don't worry about it, Hana. We're happy to have you here and hear about your adventures," she said.Hana's smile widened at Butterfly's words. "Thank you. Well, let me tell you about the time I traveled to an ancient temple of the lost village of..." Hana began to share her exciting story, and everyone at the table listened intently. Phoenix lowered his fan starting to eat as Ame followed along, still keeping a close eye. Butterfly on the other hand was excited to meet her and becoming friends with her. She found Hana to be interesting. Hana felt at ease, even though Ame was weary.. she tried her best to receive both Ame and Phoenix's approval in different ways."Hana! So..tell me.. how did you even manage to win against Phoenix?" Butterfly had remembered why Ame was so grumpy. She wasn't even there during the game... but she also had a keen interest in why someone like Phoenix could lose to an interesting traveler. Before Hana could even start, Phoenix cut her off. "She just had a good strategy, I had gotten distracted." He fanned himself lightly, looking away. "That's all there is to it." Ame nodded in agreement. It was certainly a bit of a stretch. But she had enough respect for her brother not to question him, especially after what happened at the tournament.... she wouldn't dream of it. Hana then looked down, nodding. "Y-yes..as he says." She wanted to smug, but its seems it's the wrong time. It was quite cute seeing Phoenix a little embarrassed like that, not wanting to admit a defeat. After all, he was very prideful when it came to winning games. Though he would never admit it out loud.Ame broke the small silence clearing her throat. "Well!" She looked at all of them. "It's time to sleep now, hm?" She looked over at Phoenix Moon who just lightly nodded. "Yes, I believe it is. Ame..would you please lead Hana to the guest room?" Phoenix smiled as Ame nodded, saluting. "As you say so..little brother." She teased, nudging Hana to follow along. "Goodnight then, Phoenix Moon." Hana bowed a little, which made Phoenix's heart flutter. He put the fan up to his face looking away elegantly. "Hmph. Good then." He stood up, brushing himself off. He glanced at Ame who was already standing beside Hana. "Come along, Hana. The guest rooms are on the second floor. Follow me." As Hana left the room with Ame, she couldn't help but glance back and see Phoenix watching as she left. She blushed. Phoenix's gaze was fixed on Butterfly as she had gotten up, waving goodnight to Hana. Hana nodded, finally looking away."So..Hana...hm?" Butterfly looked down at Phoenix, who was looking to the floor. "It seems you wanted my judgement?" Phoenix looked up and nodded. "Yes.. what do you think of her?" He was a little surprised how she caught on so quickly.. but that was just Butterfly. "In all honesty, I think..she'd be a great match for you." She winked as Phoenix looked at her startled. "W-What?! What are you even saying?" He closed his fan. "Butterfly.. I am not going to focus on those unnecessary feelings at the moment. I have a house to care after, I'm technically the head of this...estate." He looked at his elegant yukata, then at his shoes. "Well, my clothes and makeup seem to state it." Butterfly just crossed her arms and sighed."Phoenix...to state fully.... You're 15." She sighed, looking at him. "I mean..I'm already turning 17, and yet you act maturer... In all honesty, your sister is another head of the house.. yet she's in relationship with me." Butterfly softly smiled, "Don't stress yourself with unnecessary responsibilities. Nothing happens that much in this village anyways. And my judgement? I'll say it again.. I think you should think about her." She winked. Phoenix blushed looking away. "Well thank you for the unnecessary advice."He said stubbornly. Phoenix didn't want to think of her..but Butterfly was getting to him. "I'll go to sleep now..and I believe you should too. For now, I'm keeping an eye on her. There will be more games in the future..and I promise you, I'll win." He smiled coyly turning away. "Goodnight now, Butterfly." His alluring smile filled the night, walking away holding his fan. Butterfly gazed after him, smirking."Hehe, that guy....so childish.."
