Chapter 11

M/n sat down to the empty seat outside a cafe. His face was unamused, grumpy, tired and all he wanted to do is go back to what he was doing before.

"You seem to be in a bad mood" the person, sitting across from him, remarked. Their voice sounding sweet and seductive like honey, soothing to the ears.

M/n eyes turned to looked up to the woman, just like her voice, her face was quite pretty. Short, curly, pink hair, bright rosy cheeks that stood out from their skin, long lashes that draped over her shut eyes, and lastly a pearly white smile that seemed to shine under the sunlight.

M/n just lets out a scoffed as his hand reached for one of the cups of tea that was set in front of him. "I don't know what you're talking about, Oleander. I've always been the same"

"Hmm..." the girl now known as Oleander lets out a hum "and your medications?"

M/n lets out a reluctant grunt "yes...I have been taking them" he lied

But of course that lie didn't fool Oleander, she immediately saw right through his lie. The blue hue on his fingertips was what gave it away. "If Lycan hears that you have not been taking them, you'll be sent back-"

"I have it under control....I just haven't had the time to get some..." he excused

Oleander sets down an orange bottle filled with pills "fortunately for you I brought some with me " she replied

"Thanks... I guess" M/n warily replied as he eyed the bottle.

Oleander pushed the teacup to her lips and took a sip from the her earl gray tea "Poppy-

M/n's face cringed from the name "Please don't call me by that weird alias" he interrupted as he took another sip of tea. "I'd prefer it if you call me by M/n"

"M/n..." Oleander said with a sour tone as if it was an alien language, she was clearly displeased with the change of name. "I prefer Poppy it's not weird and it's cute!" She pouted

M/n grumbled under his breath from her clear reluctance "I'll allow you to call me Poppy.....for now"

Oleander cheerfully went back to her usual happy self.

"Now can we get back to the reason why we're meeting here?" M/n asked

"Of course" Oleander replied, her face turned serious. She flicked her hand and a semi-invisible barrier appeared, surrounding them.

Once the barrier was finish setting up, she pulled out a small stack of papers from her bag and handed it to him.

M/n took the stack of papers, it seemed to be about 30 pages maybe? He skimmed through a few of its pages.

"since you were absent from the meeting before I'll summarize everything down for you" Oleander explained

"Yes, Please do tell me, how the meeting concerns me" M/n replied with a slight hint of sarcasm. He never really bothered with the Wysteria meetings. First of all, most of the meetings never had anything for him. Second of all, he had a pile of unfinished work from both the agency and Wisteria sitting patiently on his desk so it was a waste of time.

"As stated in the report a few of the criminals managed to escape the prison, we don't know how that happened or when it happened but we've sent someone to investigate it" she explained

"And the convicts?"

"Osmanthus and Ignis, together were able to capture 10 out of the 20 escaped convicts, Lilian with 5, with some assistance from Clover, me, myself with 2 and Ivan with a single 1" Oleander reported

"And the other two?" M/n asked as he flipped through the criminal records of the escaped convicts

"Oh they're assigned for you to handle" she cheerfully replied

M/n almost spat out his tea. "I beg your pardon?"

"You heard me dear Poppy flower..." Oleander said, her seemingly cheerful smile growing to an amused smirk "those two convicts are your responsibility as punishment for not attending meetings. That's what we all agreed to by the end."

"You know I won't have time for that, Oleander" M/n frowned as he pinched the bridge of his nose "I still have to carve open the last three deceased convicts that were assigned to me and I still have to do a case with the new agency member later today"

"Well then you can use this to find the last two escaped convicts with that member" she retorted "after all you've been playing detective for so long this shouldn't be too hard for you~"

M/n grit his teeth "Oleander-"

Oleander let out a chuckle "M/n, this is the least you can do at the moment."

They both stared at each other in silence. M/n thought hard as he weighed his options while Oleander patiently waits for his answer.

"Fine" M/n relented "I'll do the stupid case and in return, you will send me some pastries from France"

"Of course, I would!" Oleander agreed with slight chuckle "can't leave my dear young Poppy flower without showering him with sweets!"

M/n internally cringed

"Ms. Oleander" a stern voice interrupting their conversation.

They turned to the person behind Oleander, it was a man in a suit holding a black car door open.

"Ah there goes my ride, I better be going now" Oleander explained. she stood up from her seat and ruffled his hair before she got in the car with a final wave of goodbye "don't forget about what I told you, M/n"

"I don't need you to worry about me. " M/n replied with a hint of irritation, as he watched Oleander get into the car.

"I see...." She coldly muttered under her breath. The door closed as the man turned to M/n

"Po-" the man stopped himself as he sees M/n eyes narrowed at him. He lets out a fake nervous cough "M/n..." he corrected "Lycan sends his regards" he relayed

"tell him that I'll send him a message when I have the time" M/n replied

The man let out a small grumble at the reply "v-very well" he quickly entered the drivers seat and drove away leaving M/n to watch it disappear as it turned the corner.

the silent air was all that's left, M/n glance again at the bottle before he decided to stuff it into his bag

Hello

This chapter is a flashback

if you guys also notice, some of the original characters I made are based on flowers so here are the flowers that I have shown. (based mostly from google and other articles)

Osmanthus: also known as devilwood is a flower that symbolizes love and beauty 

for Ignis his flower name is: Dendrochilum ignisiflorum (fire orchid): it is a species of orchid from the Philippines. Orchids are revered as guardians of the forest (based on Calayan tribes) and symbolizes passion

Oleander: a type of flower that is poisonous when consumed. This flower is also often conveys a message of carefulness and watchfulness. 

And that is all other than the Poppy flower

(also pls give me something to draw i'm currently having art block)
