Author Notes

Some sweet, sweet, married life KanaYou for a prompt that has to do with a pretty flower~ ^w^

May you enjoy~ :D

"Say, Kanan-chan, why do you always give me a picture of a white iris flower?" You asks as she flipped the pages of a file filled with images of the pretty flower; some smaller than the other, some had more than one of the said flower.

Kanan who just stepped out of the kitchen, raised an eyebrow at the unexpected question, looking over to see You's hand gently brushing over the pictures – seeing the image she cut out of a magazine to gift You refreshed some blush-inducing memories of her youth.

"You collect those?" Kanan averts her eyes as she walks over.

You smiles as she stands up from the coffee table. "Of course. Plus, these are what allowed you to win my heart and make me your wife~ They are precious…"

Kanan wraps her arms around the ash-brunette's waist, pulling You down to the sofa, having You sit comfortably on her lap. "Mm…It started…a good 20 years ago…"

You's ocean-blue eyes grins as she brushes Kanan's hair behind her ear, seated safely in Kanan's arms, she listened attentively.

At six years old, Kanan was at a flower shop with her parents, she was allowed to be curious and wander around and that was when she found herself staring back at a flower she did not know.

There was a lot of flowers she did not know in the shop. But this one caught her attention.

An attendant noticed and bent down to Kanan's height, "Do you like the flower?"

"…It's pretty." Kanan answers.

"They are called Iris."

"Iris…" Kanan murmurs, entranced.

"The one you're looking at is a White Iris. There are many other colours for Iris flower." The attendant smiles as Kanan looks over to her, eyes widening at the information. "Do you know about flower languages?"

Kanan shakes her head.

"It means each of all these beautiful flowers holds meaning to them. The White Iris here is very much like you, it represents purity. Young children all have them." The attendant explains, seeing that the young child was interested.

Kanan turns her eyes back to the flower, she was not sure why, but she was very attracted to the White Iris Flower. "Thank you."

The attendant chuckles and pats Kanan's head. "You're welcome."

When Kanan went home that night, the flower was still on her mind. And Kanan found a new pastime of matching the image of the flower with things around her.

When Kanan met with her childhood friends to play ball, she could not help but try to match the flower to each of them. And that was when she realizes that it matched You perfectly.

It was like all the stars aligned and Kanan felt her heart racing with excitement. The bluenette ran home to realize she could not afford flowers so she did the first thing a kid could do – she grabbed a piece of paper and doodled the Iris from her memory.

Gifting it to You was exhilarating, the four-year-old ash-brunette beamed like the Sun to get a drawing from Kanan. "It's pretty! Like Kanan-chan!"

Kanan shakes her head. "No, it's like You."

You laughs. "Thanks, Kanan-chan!"

The subsequent years, Kanan found access to magazines to cut the image of the White Iris to gift to You on her birthday or Valentine's Day. When computer and printers were possible, Kanan use those to print out the flower and wrote a message on the back to put in You's lockers.

"Wait." You had to interject with a teasing smile playing on her lips. "And you never thought to write 'I love you, You. Please go out with me.'?"

Kanan pursed her lips at her wife, cheeks a hot pink. "Thought it. A lot… But did you think it was easy to do so?"

You chuckles and lowers her head slightly. "Yeah, I guess not…"

Kanan slides her hand up, cupping You's cheek, leaning in closer. "Basically, I wanted you to love my favourite flower because you're my favourite person, You. And you're the purest thing on this Earth… Keep being mine?"

Kanan whispers over You's lips and You swallows as quietly as she could, her heart thumping hard against her chest. "Y-Yes…"

Their lips met and smiled against each other's for a long time after.
