Pairing(s): Lingfan
Rating: K
Setting: Pre-Series Xing
Summary: The first gesture starts it all.
Notes: And, with this, I begin my Lingfan drabble series. Other canon pairings are set to appear later.
"Do you like flowers?"
Ling's question jolts her out of her thoughts. "Huh?"
"Do-you-like-flowers?" Ling repeats leaning in close to her. Their noses brush, and a bit of color rises in his cheeks. She's almost certain her face bright red.
"I...uh," She stammers. Does she like flowers? She never really payed much attention to them. "They're okay, my Lord. Why do you ask?"
Ling smiles, but offers no explanation. He bumps their foreheads together, then scampers off into the gardens.
She gets up to follow him.
"Don't follow!" He yells back to her, and she freezes.
She sighs. What's he up to?
She sits and waits, itching to follow the Prince. Finally, he runs back into view, his hands hidden behind his back.
He skids to a stop in front of her, panting. She opens her mouth to say something, but a finger presses on her lips before she can.
Then there is a bunch of flowers shoved into her face. The ends still have roots and little clumps of dirt hanging on them, and they look a little bent from their extraction from the ground.
But they're bright in color with a multitude of hues and petal shapes. She loves them.
Ling smiles at her. But it's not his usual wide grin, it's more reserved and... shy?
"You like them?" He asks, as she sniffs them.
"I love them." She says. And she means it.
AN: Lingfan is my OTP guys, seriously. This is going to be a dump of some sorts with stories of varying lengths, and a few AUs because everyone that knows me knows I love AUs. I'm also going to skip around the time-line. Pre-Series, Mid-Series, Post-Series, all that jazz.
Tell me what you think! Requests and prompts are appreciated!
