1. Sunflower

Yuri loves sunflowers, which is why Flynn buys him a pack of seeds as soon as spring hits. He likes watching his partner take care of the blooming flowers, likes watching Yuri talk to them like they're his babies, and loves the look on his face when his 'babies' reach maturity. Flynn never mentions that he's actually allergic to said flowers, not wanting to rain on Yuri's parade.

He just makes sure to take a few antihistamines and avoid the backyard for a few months.

2. Haircut

During the summer, Yuri cuts his hair short. It's not something he particularly likes, but it's a small price to pay since dealing with less hair meant dealing with less heat. A habit he'd developed whenever his long locks were cut was touching the back of his neck, the feel of his exposed skin something he hadn't gotten use it even after so many years. On the upside, Flynn took full advantage of his newly exposed neck, kissing it whenever he got the chance. Because of this, Yuri doesn't mind getting his summer haircut as much as he used to.

3. Camellia

Whenever Flynn is stressed about work, Yuri makes him a cup of tea. It apparently hadn't been a good day at work for his blond boyfriend, made evident by the large amount of paper sprawled out on the dining room table that Flynn had brought home. Instead of asking what had happened, he merely disappears into the kitchen, reemerging with a hot mug that he places next to Flynn without a word. The blond eyes it for a few seconds before a soft smile spreads across his lips, and Yuri takes note of the way his body finally relaxes.

"Thank you, Yuri."

4. Fingernail Polish

It amuses Flynn to no end that he and Yuri had gotten to know one another because of nail polish. Back in middle school, they shared the same English class, though the two of them ever spoke to the other until being paired up by the teacher for a project. Flynn hadn't been thrilled to be working with the class delinquent, figuring he'd have to do all the work with little help. It was when he was jotting down a number of plot points that he noticed the black finger nail polish Yuri wore, and for some reason he found it interesting. He hadn't expect their conversation to last most of the period, or for Yuri to be a pleasant (if not a bit arrogant) individual.

If anyone had told him that conversation would lead to the most interesting relationship of his life, he probably would've laughed in their face.

5. Hair Tie

It's amazing just how many hair ties Yuri could go through in a week, and Yuri honestly has no idea where they keep disappearing to. He's happy that Flynn take it upon himself to buy him a new pack every week, but he feels bad about having the blond waste money on him in such a way. After months of the damn things just up and vanishing, he finally notices Repede sneaking into his room. Upon following the large dog, he finds out exactly what had been happening to his hair ties.

Apparently, Repede would steal them, stretch them until they broke, and then bury them in the backyard. Out of ALL the things the dog could've turned into a toy, why'd it have to be his hair ties?

6. Watermelon

Flynn didn't have much of a sweet tooth, but when it came to Yuri's homemade watermelon sherbet he'd gladly eat without question. The problem was that Yuri only made it on special occasions, so the blond had to wait around for either a holiday or something extremely good to happen. So when he walks into the kitchen and see Yuri slicing up a watermelon, he knows something is up.

"What's the occasion?" Flynn says, his arms coming to snake their way around Yuri's waist from behind, chin resting on his shoulder.

"Well..." Yuri starts, "Remember that manager job I applied for?"

"...Seriously?"

With Yuri's nod, he quickly turns him around, planting a kiss on his lips as a wave of joy overcomes him. Yuri had been trying to get that job for months, and now that he had, there was no better time to celebrate. The sweetest occasions were the ones where Yuri is happy.
