White Tea

White tea is delicate, floral, lightly sweet, with a subtle vegetal note. Over steeped it can cause it to lose its nuanced sweetness.

In the mind of a human, Hell could be pictured as a terrifying place – Lakes of fire burning endlessly with devils torturing damned souls. Burning cauldrons filled with mutilated bodies, flesh eating monsters baring their teeth at anyone who fells into the pits.

No one would believe you if you were to tell them Hell has fields of flower and wide patch of greeneries.

You wouldn't believe it too if you haven't seen it with your own eyes.

"Pretty isn't?"

Your eyes gaped wide at the colorful patch of flowers grew at the side of a small hill, growing closely beside each other. The flower petals contrast with the grass beneath it, emitting waves of fragrance as the breeze blew.

"They're wild by the way." Control grabbed your hand and leads you towards the hill, slowly making way to the center of the field, careful not to step on the flowers.

"How do you find this place?" You asked as your eyes still opens wide and be amazed by the view.

"Let's just say I've been to lots of places in Hell." While chasing Chainsaw of course. But you didn't need to know that part.

She then pulls you to her front and you stared at her in confusion. With a smile, she pushes you lightly, strong enough to make you fall backward with a yelp and landed on the patch of flower behind softly. Some flowers flew upward upon the impact, dancing in the air before falling slowly.

"Control!" You narrowed your brow at her while she laughed. Her laughter is so rare and so bright that you can't help but smiled at her.

And as a revenge, you grabbed her shirt and yanked her down as well. But she manages to stop herself before crashing on top of you.

"Now, that's rude."

"You started it first. Who would push their girlfriend on their first date?" You slapped her shoulder lightly.

She smiled smugly. "Oh, you finally admitted being my girlfriend? Took you two weeks to do so huh?"

That made your cheek flustered. "W-who knows what you're trying to say! You keep speaking in riddles and so I-"

"You thought I was joking when I said I wanted to date you." Control raised her brows.

"Well... A lot of my customers says that to me as a flirt." You look away embarrassedly, avoiding her stare.

"But how many of them would give you flowers every time they visit?" She gently turned cradle your head to face her. "How many of them will come and see you almost every day just to check on you?" She smiled.

"How many of them would try to make you smile and listens to your venting every night?" Your face gets more flustered, and you started to cover your face with your hand as Control continues to speak in amusement. "Will they tell you how pretty and cute you are? Or helps you bake the muffins-"

"Alright! Stop! It's really embarrassing!" You attempt to cover her mouth with your hands, but she then wraps her arms around you and rolls over. In a blink of an eye, you landed on her chest, feeling the warmth of her body and the strong heart beating against your ears.

"Are you ready to fall in love with me then?" Control smiled at you. You lifted your head up to look at her.

Huffing a smile, you leaned closer and pecked at the corner of her lips.
