A new drabble to keep me occupied while I'm sick. This one is a request from tsukidoragonookami so its a Sunny x Komatsu. I don't own anything.

Drabble word: Shakespearean

It had started with a simple rose left on his door step, no letter or words attached. Komatsu had taken the rose amused and puzzled into his home and placed in a a simple vase. The next week it was a dozen roses sent to the restaurant with a note which read:

Hear my soul speak:

The very instant that I saw you, did

My heart fly to your service.

The arrival of the roses had sparked a rather invigorating discussion on the possibility of a secret admirer and who it might be. It ended with Komatsu stating he had no interest in such things and that the cooks had better things to do then to chat like old housewives. It didn't prevent whispers of the increasing number of gifts that followed almost daily after that.

Privately however, Komatsu found himself staring and hoping wishing that the one who send those gifts was a certain king. As he touched the delicate petals of the latest addition to his collection of flowers, half a dozen Hibiscus with another note, the chef decided his next move.

A last look at the note he had been sent just this morning settled his mind:

Have I caught thee, my heavenly jewel? Why, now let

me die, for I have lived long enough.

Sunny was surprised to say the least when he returned home only to find a letter attached to a yellow chrysanthemum. Taking the flower in one hand, he opened the letter with the other:

I love thee so, that, maugre all thy pride,

Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide.

Do not extort thy reasons from this clause,

For that I woo, thou therefore hast no cause

But rather reason thus with reason fetter,

Love sought is good, but given unsought better.

Startled, the heavenly king stood still for a long time, simply rereading the letter and staring at the flower. The gifts continued coming to both Sunny and Komatsu almost daily; sometime it was a simple thing , other time it was a luxurious item that could only be found at certain times. The last was the reason why both Komatsu and Sunny called each other at almost the same time in regards of an ingredient both were looking for.

Sunny expressed his surprised when Komatsu explained he didn't want Toriko knowing about his idea. Komatsu was surprised that Sunny would ask him for help over such an ingredient when he could simply capture it and bring it to a better cook then himself. Both agreed to leave the same day and to keep their temporary partnership a secret from the rest of the heavenly kings. Komatsu knew how possessive some could be.

It took both of them a week to find the ingredient, an apple that was said to give luck in love to those who ate it. During the week, Sunny caught Komatsu sneaking glances at him with a pensive look while Komatsu caught Sunny staring at him with an unusually soft expression on his face. Capturing the apple wasn't very hard but it did require a delicate amount of touch and pressure to keep it fresh and tasty while Komatsu cut it in half following the complicated process of peeling it in just the right way.

Less then a week later Komatsu received a small red box covered in gold leaf design. Sunny received a plain white box with a red silk ribbon attached keeping it closed. Within both boxes were half of an apple and a single note.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite.

So here are a few things for those who dont know the meaning of the flowers I used.
