Short description: Ox tries to explain Love to CB, it's hard to do so when the being you're teaching is technically a Newborn. CB still tries to understand it all anyways. Fluff.

not a ship, just sibling stuff.
also i uh. decided to actually try & make the flowers mean something in this setting. Not that deep, but it's something.

"Ox? What does Love feel like?"

The currently oldest Creator in the room choked on their chicken before coughing into his hand, blinking at his brother. "What?"

The Creator reciting in Balance's body looked down at the grass slowly forming under his fingertips, sitting idly on his knees as flowers grows and bloom. "Love. I know of it, but I don't know what it's like. Is it pleasant?"

It took a moment for him to process what CB just said, before moving to sit next to him. The chicken he was eating moving further into his inventory. Thinking and choosing his words thoughtfully. "... Yeah, it is. There's different kinds of it, and is normally warm. If that makes sense?"

The Balancer tilts its head, the body's hands moving to rest on his own lap. Wings swinging slightly to stretch themselves. "Warm?"

"Like," the older Creator pointed at his chest, "around here. Sometimes their faces, too, but that can happen because of anything else."

He paused. "Do you... understand what love is?"

"I'm... unsure." The young Creator muttered, looking down at the barely visible grass underneath it. A lot of dandelions surround them, with some other flowers as well. They're covering every inch of the grass. "Isn't it a mix of feelings of wanting to care for someone, and wanting to be around them?"

"...Yeah pretty much." Ox shrugs, picking a oxeye daisy nearby from the garden that CB made. Intentional or not, there's a lot of plant life growing now. "I'm.. not the best person to ask about this, really."

"The Creators said I should talk about this with someone I trust."

The blue Creator blinked and looked over at CB, who stared at their handful of white & pink tulips, that could be traced to the small holes in the dirt nearby. It placed the flowers back onto the grass, before looking at the other. Its wings folding behind its back.

"I trust you."

Ox stayed silent for a moment, before smiling. His hand reaching for CB's head, who lowered their head down for him to reach it, patting it. The being makes a soft purring noise. A sound that startled the other slightly, but made him smile a bit wider.

"Thanks buddy."
