Hi! After updating Meeting You, I decided to make another one-shot with Noctis and Lightning; my most favorite pairing. Hope you enjoy!
SUMMARY: One special day, Lightning Farron was just helping her cousin, Aerith, at her flower shop. But Lightning receives something from someone she had known in her past.
On Aerith's flower shop...
Lightning was helping Aerith carry vases of flowers for the display. It was just another typical Saturday morning. Since Lightning's day-off was on a Saturday, she had nothing to do.
When they had finished working, Lightning decided to take a break. She decided to hang out at the newly-built and recently-opened coffee shop just in front of the flower shop.
But before she could do so, she saw a basket of flowers rested upon the doorstep.
"Huh? What's this?" Lightning mumbled curiously.
The on the basket, there were eight different flowers: a yellow sunflower, a pink carnation, green zinnia, a blue bell, a purple lilac, a white daisy, an orange tulip and a red rose.
Lightning was shocked. There were questions running on her mind like, 'Who left this here?' and 'To whom is this for?'.
That was when she noticed a lone note underneath the flowers. She picked it up and opened it. It read:
Dear Lightning,
I had wanted to confess to you ever since senior prom. And now that you've grown into a pretty and independent woman, here's my chance. The flowers all have different meanings relating to you.
The yellow sunflower represents your sunny attitude. I still remember the day when we'd use to hang out; and you'd laugh at my stupid jokes.
The orange tulip represents your energetic personality. I also remember when we'd use to race with each other an you'd always win.
The blue bell's color, represents your bashfulness. When I first introduced you to my other friends, you looked down at the ground the whole time. I thought it was cute, though.
The green zinnia represents how rare and natural you are. Before, I used to ask you if your hair color was natural; and you'd say 'yes.' As for the rare part, no one can replace you. I've never met a girl that has the same personality as you.
The white daisy represents your purity and innocence. I never heard you say a single swear word, and I hope that until now; you still haven't done so.
The pink carnation represents your beauty (and your hair color too). For me, you are the only one that shines through the crowd. And you are beautiful inside and outside.
The purple lilac represents how you ruled my world. They say that purple means 'royalty'.
And last of all, the red rose represents how I love you so. Before, I had always admired you. Then that admiration became into fondness...
...And that fondness turned... Into LOVE.
And I had loved you ever since. Like I said, I had wanted to confess to you since the prom. I hope you have a good day, my dear Lightning.
From your special admirer,
NLC.
Lightning only smiled and chuckled at his note; something she hadn't done for years ever since her parents' death. Plus, she also thought it was daring for her 'high-school bestfriend' to do something like this.
But somehow, those words touched her heart. No one had said those meaningful words to her before.
With a smile-now-turned-into-a-grin, she went back inside; the basket of flowers on her right hand.
From afar, her long-time admirer, was watching her from his black convertible; a genuine smile plastered on his face and his midnight orbs showing happiness.
Apologies guys if I made the pair OOC. Just decided to make this since it just popped out on my mind. And yes guys, there is a green zinnia. Sorry if this was short.
