"Hey sweetheart..."
"Yeah, King?"
"Can I...tell yah somethin'?"
"What is it?"
"Knock knock..."
"Really? It's just a joke? Pfft...Got me worried for nothing....You sounded serious!"
She hit my arm, and I laughed.
I loved she reacted when she got like this.
She was my stubborn little flower.
It didn't hurt. Besides, she was too afraid of hurting me to hit me too hard, though she'd never say it.
She always had her guard up, and I didn't mind so much.
I just liked being with her.
"C'mon!"
"Alright fine.....Who's there?"
"Flower."
"Flower who?"
"Flower you today?"
"Pffft...That was so dumb...."
"Awww come on, you didn't like it even a little?"
"....Just a little, you punny weirdo."
"I'll take a little," I chuckled, leaning down and kissing her on the forehead, petals brushing against my lips.
I remember that feeling so well.
It never didn't feel odd.
But I loved it.
I loved it so much.
She was my little flower.
"Hey King?"
"Yeah? You always call me that....My little flower....Why?"
I snorted.
"It ain't obvious? Petals. Flower petals. Little flower."
"Really? I thought it was more personal than that, you meanie!" She pouted, crossing her arms and sitting up.
Damn.
I liked it when she leaned against me. I liked running my hands through her hair, and feeling those petals of hers drifting between my fingers.
"Alright, alright, I'm sorry. Just lay back down and I'll tell you."
"Uh-uh. Too late."
"Aw come on, I was just messin'!"
"Hmph!"
"Please?"
"...Okay. You better be lucky I think you're cute, you big dumb weirdo."
Good.
I liked having her close. It reassured me.
All these memories........All these times rushing through my head....
And now.....
"M-miss! Oh dear oh dear....No no....This shouldn't happen! Miss! MISS!"
"SWEETHEART!"
I ran to her, I held her in my arms....
"Darlin' say somethin, anything, please!"
"Hi...."
I smiled weakly, tears dripping from my eyes.
"Hey....."
"Hey.....Kingy...?"
"Yeah...?"
"Will you....talk to me...? Just...tell me another joke...That's all I really want.....I don't mind this so much.....It was getting hard anyway......I'll be fine....as long as you just say something dumb for me."
"S-sure thing....Uh....Knock knock...."
"Who's there....?"
"Flower...."
"Flower who?"
"Flower you today?"
"Really......sleepy....."
Please.....
My little flower....
Come back....
