Hi!

How are you lovely people doing?! I hope that you are well and surviving this terrible COVID! Please stay safe out there! I know its been a while and life has been kicking my behind, but I have been working on my writing! Look out for some new chapters for my old stories and some new works popping up sometime this year!

I've always been a big fan of Kingdom Hearts ever since it came out! I just love the story line and the characters! This is one of the best crossovers that I have ever seen and actually works! Oh the theories that have been circulating, all our questions from the past being answered only for a thousand more to pop up! I am looking forward to the next game coming out! (Hopefully it won't take another decade to complete this time.) The LOST FORETELLERS THOUGH?! Blew my mind especially Ava she is so adorable! And a fox! So cute! XD

I would like to thank iamtopdrawer (tumblr) / NemytheWemy (AO3). They greatly inspired me to finally write this. Please check them out they have wonderful artwork of AvaxLuxu, Kingdom Hearts and many more! They are such an amazing artist! THANK YOU AGAIN!

WARNING:This is a AvaxLuxu(Xigbar/Briag whichever you would prefer) pairing. There are so few stories about them (be of a romantic, platonic, or family setting) that I wanted to give it a shot. If this is not a pairing that you would like to read, there are many other wonderful stories out there that you can enjoy.

DISCLAIMER:I do not own Kingdom Hearts. If I did there would be more great games/movies/shows/books about it!

Enjoy!

"Dandelions, like all things in nature, are beautiful when you take time to pay attention to them" – June Stoyer

"Oh no."

Ava turned her head away from the newly planted tulips (right next to some dandelions she wanted unearth and bring to her garden back home), to look upon her assistant. Ephemer was usually a bubbly happy go lucky boy, trying to find his place in the world. He was always doing his best to be helpful, especially to his boss. His tone of voice and the grim expression on his face though at this moment gave her cause for alarm.

"Mistress Ava, he's back. Again."

Oh no...

Deep breaths girl. Think good positive thoughts. DO NOT let him get under your skin. This time.

Ava loved her job as Radiant Garden top landscaper and gardener for the Royal family. She had been hired at a very young age, but she was amazing at what she did and truly loved flowers. She had done the majority of the garden designs for the kingdom which everyone adored and highly complimented on her work.

"Well looks who it is. Isn't my favorite person in the world."

That voice of the Royal Guard aggravated her so badly that it brought shivers down her spine. In ways that she did not understand. Or maybe she did and was denying it.

She would take the former and not the latter.

Ava sighed, "How can we help you today Luxu?"

He stopped before the two, placing his hand at him heart, acting hurt, but his devious grin gave him away. "Aw, what makes you think that I need something from you? Can't a gent say hello to a beautiful woman without sounding like a jerk?"

Ephemer rolled eyes mumbling, "Not from the likes of you."

Luxu glared at the young man, "What was that punk? Couldn't hear it over the puny whining which seems to be coming from your big mouth."

"Big mouth?! Look whose talking! You could win an award for the Loudest Mouth of Radiant Garden."

"Why you punk-!"

Ava could sense a brawl coming, and immediately stood up, getting in between the two of them. "Alright that is enough! You are acting like children! And that is saying something because they are acting more well behaved then the both of you." She looked over to her assistant, "Ephemer head over to the shed and grab some more supplies, especially the pots."

Ephemer pouted, "But Mistress Ava-"

"Please Ephemer."

He sighed, mumbling an 'okay' under his breath leaving them be, but not before glaring at the older guard as he walked away. Ava could have sworn that the boy stuck his tongue at him, but she was not sure. She turned her attention then to Luxu. "And you Luxu," she looked directly into those startled handsome eyes of his, her heart skipping a beat. "If all you're going to do is insult us then just leave and get back to your rounds."

Luxu put his arms out, "Aw, but Sweetheart-"

"If you're making fun of me you can go. I don't want to hear it." Ava took a deep breath and was kneeling on the lawn once more. She grabbed her shovel and went back to work; slowly and carefully digging up the dandelions. Once Ephemer came back with the pots she was going to put the flowers in them and take them with her. There was something about dandelions she just loved. They always gave her such great pleasure. Ava believed all greenery was beautiful and didn't consider some of them weeds like the rest of society thought of.

Dandelions though held a special place in her heart. As a child she loved to pluck them from the dirt and just blow on them; making wishes and watching as the seeds scattered into the wind with her wishes as well. Now all grown up, she had never given up the practice; she even planted some in her garden and even had a little plot of them growing in her shop.

So lost in her thoughts Ava did not realize she still had an audience, or that said person had plucked one of the dandelions and was examining it thoroughly.

"Aren't you supposed to be getting rid of the weeds from Their Majesties Garden? Not keeping them for yourself are you?"

Ava sniffed, "You and I have different opinions about weeds. I consider them flowers and they are very pretty. Wishing flowers I like to call them."

Luxu looked at the plant in his hand, then glanced over to the young Gardener," Wishing flower huh? What does a lovely thing like you wish for?"

She could feel the heat building up in her cheeks, and moved her face away from his amused gaze, "That is none of your business. Besides you would probably laugh at me for it."

"I make fun of a lot of people that deserve it or are just being plain stupid Sweetheart. Believe me… I would never laugh at you." Luxu could only look at her startled and dazed eyes, a soft smile breaking through his usually devilish expressions. He started to walk away from her, twirling the flower between his fingers. "Have a good day Ava."

She watched as he stepped back on to the path leading to the Royal Guards Quarters. Ava looked down back at the small patch of dandelions that Luxu had taken one from. She daintily picked one, examining it, and then turned back to where the Guard was going. She was surprised to see that he had stopped, looking longingly in the distance and just...blew on the flower, the seeds flying into the wind.

Watching him, Ava's mind was swirling with some many thoughts and emotions as she blew on her dandelion, but only two stood out the most:

The first being what Luxu had wish for on his dandelion.

She watched as the seeds and her wish flew into the winds. Her final thought that she had buried so deep within her, that she could no longer deny it anymore.

She had fallen in love with Luxu.

OH MY! Ava is in for it now! What is she going to do now that she has finally admitted her feelings for Luxu to her self? How is she going tell the aggravating but handsome Royal Guard? Will he return her feelings? You are just going to have to continue reading to find out!

Again, I would like to thank iamtopdrawer (tumblr) / NemytheWemy (AO3). They helped me out so greatly deciding on how this was going to be written. They are also a terrific artist so please check them out!

Let me know what you think of this story and anything else you would like to add. If I made any grammar errors or did not keep anyone in character (especially LUXU he was so bloody hard to write!), please let me know so I can correct it. Also let me know if you want me to continue writing more AvaxLuxu or any other Kingdom Hearts stories in the near future!

Please Read and Review!

Thank you!
