Her Violet Eyes - Inanimate Insanity [ Silvercandle Hanahaki AU ] - DISCONTINUED

Chapter 1 - A blossoming dilemma

She's beautiful..

Silver Spoon thought to himself, pathetically shaking behind the love of his life as she chats with a friend of hers, Cabby.

Every word she said rings in his head, despite not listening to the conversation, everything that came out of her mouth gave sensations to Silver. He had to calm down about this. So he closed his eyes and put his hand on his chest, taking deep breaths and keeping his composure.

His chest... is aching. Yearning for something from Candle. Was it attention? Was it..

He shakes his head, sweating rivers. Candle obviously notices this, and quirks a brow slightly worried.

"Silver..?" The spoon flinches, letting her know she has his full attention

"You seem to be fidgeting a lot, are you feeling okay?" She questions with a slightly concerned look and takes his hand.

Silver twitches a bit. "Ah- I'm fine dear!" He didn't mean to speak that loud.

"If you need, then we can head back." Candle assures him, rubbing his hands with her thumbs gently.

His chest tightened more and more, the amount oxygen he took in slightly shortened.

Silver took a sharp inhale and looked back at her. "No, really. I'm fine." He gave her a gentle and reassuring smile.

Candle smiled back a bit, before continuing her conversation with Cabby.

Oh, Cara Mia.

He held the hand Candle once did. Looking at it softly, slightly in a daze if you will. God, that was embarrassing.

His throat is itching, he feels the need to cough. So Silver discreetly clears his throat hoping that the uncomfortable feeling would go away, turning his head to the side. But instead of just clearing his throat, he starts violently coughing instead.

"Ugh.. what the?" Silver opens his eyes, and opening his clenched hands.

He finds a small purple petal curled up in his palm.

Silver Spoon is caught off guard in terror. He throws the flower petal, stomping on it shortly afterwards. Cabby and Candle turn their heads toward Silver, looking at him in surprise and worry.

"Ah.. On second thought, maybe it's best if I do head back.."

"Do you need me to assist you on the way back?" Candle fully turns toward Silver.

"No, I think I can manage.."

Candle frowns, growing more concerned. But she waves goodbye.

Silver Spoon quickly makes his way back to Hotel OJ and into his hotel room. He stumbles onto the bathroom floor, seemingly exhausted from all the running. He looks up at the mirror, to find a small amount of blood dripping down his mouth. What in the world is this?

He rips a piece of toilet paper off and wipes the area around his mouth. His chest aching even more, causing him to clench it with his bloodied hands. It looks like he had just escaped a murder scene; he can't let anyone see him like this. What would Candle think?

..Candle

He suddenly feels intense nausea, he dashes to the side slamming the toilet seat open and vomiting everything he had just ate out. He felt horrible. He continues vomiting and it goes on for a few more seconds, until there was nothing left. He felt nothing but disgust, fear, and.. pain?

He finally opens his eyes, revealing what he'd just heaved out. Most of it was just the gunk of everything he had ate earlier that day, but.. what confused him most were the blood-stained flower petals scattered around the toilet bowl. He squinted his eyes to take a better look at it; he didn't dare move an inch closer to the puke. They were a bit hard to make out but.. those were violets.

His eyes widened. How could he have vomited out literal flowers? Ugh, he'll deal with it later.. Better clean up now.

knock knock knock

Silver turns his head in a panic. Someone was knocking the hotel room door.

"I-I'm busy!" Silver's voice cracks.

"Silver? It's me, Candle. I just wanted to check up on you."

Oh god. She was the last person he needed to see in this state right now. He quickly picked himself up and flushed the toilet. He picked up a towel, using it to wipe his mouth and proceeded to dart to the door to open it.

It was Candle alright.

"Hope I didn't intrude on any business." She giggled. Silver Spoon blushed, embarassed having given her the wrong idea. Well, at least it was a better thought than what was actually happening.

"Are you feeling well?"

Silver replied with a simple nod, nothing much. His throat was a bit sore after all that vomiting.

"Hmhm, do you need anything? I'm going to the store to get some groceries."

"Wait-" His voice croaked out.

Candle raises her eyebrow.

"Could I.. come with you?" Silver cleared his throat.

"Of course. But are you sure you don't need any rest?"

"Oh, don't fret so much, dear. I'll be fine." He remarks, acting all pompous and confident. Candle chuckles in reply, she finds that side of Silver quite.. amusing.

They interlock hands; Silver's face slightly turning teal, as make their way to the grocery store. Silver worries his hand might be sweaty, but Candle doesn't seem to mind.

They may or may not have gotten distracted by a crystal store just down the street when making their way back to the hotel. Of course, Candle just had to stop and go in there. Silver didn't care, as long as he was with Candle. That's all that he really wanted to do anyways. If not for her, then he would have been stuck in his hotel room in pain and discomfort. But atleast Candle was there to distract him from all that he's feeling. He felt pathetic.

"Does this look good on me?" Candle steps into Silver Spoon's view of sight. Showing him the beautiful amethyst crystal-shaped earrings she picked out from the store, dangling from her ears(?). It matched the color of her violet purple eyes.

He shudders at the thought of that color, thinking about those blood-stained violets he had heaved up in the bathroom just earlier. He felt disgusted.

"It looks great.. dear."

Candle smiles at his approval.

"Would you like to buy something?" Candle asks. Silver looks up at her, and proceeds to look around. Suddenly, his eyes lock on one specific pair of earrings. They were jade earrings finely carved into a teardrop-like shape, it reminded him of his Inner Flame. Candle sees that Silver is looking at something, and turns her head to look at it as well.

She walks over to it and picks it up. She makes her way back to Silver and holds it out for him. "Is this what you want?" She slightly swings it in front of his face.

"I- I don't need it I just.." Silver tries to think of an excuse but struggles to speak, but it was already too late. Candle had already walked up to the register to buy it. How did she know? Was he that obvious?

Silver looks down, a bit ashamed but also flushed. How much did that even cost?

He pulls out his wallet to pay Candle back, but Candle holds his hand. "No need for that, it's on me." Also placing the new earrings she just bought for Silver firmly in his hands.

Silver's eye twitches at that reply, but he was also grateful. He loved her. Candle chuckles. Silver takes off his old earrings and wears his new ones, the ones Candle gave him. 

 "Let's go now. We've got what we needed, yes?" Candle adjusts her purse.

Silver nods assuringly and stands up, ready to head back with Candle. It really was an exhausting day, all he needed now was a good rest. Yeah.. he just needs.. rest...

"..Silver?"

...

A thud.
