Black and Silver Roses
Pillage was setting up roses for the draft, a small smile on his face. He loved these flowers, the texture, the colors, and the many meaning behind them. Not to mention they hold a special place in his heart for personal reasons.1976 made sure his fondness of roses were set in stone. Of course he was worried about how it would correspond with the Collage version but-
Thor: Pillage, you dazing off again.
Pillage shoke his head and turned to the Viking Rusher, a smirk on his face.
Thor: You always miles away when it comes to roses.
Pillage: *Smile grows* I can't help it if I like them. Besides...*Looks at the one he had been holding. a white one* I was just...reminiscing.
Thor eyes soften as he walked over.
Pillage: It's been decades since we had another Super Bowl on a Rose Bowl day.
Thor: Guess maybe their waiting to make that spark again.
Pillage sighed, turning the rose.
Pillage: Al Davis was so happy that day, it was our first Super Bowl win and it was on the Rose Bowl. He kept on smiling for months after that...I-
Pillage eyes closed.
1977, Super Bowl/Rose Bowl...
Pillage eyes widen. The game was over, they won. They had finally won a Super Bowl. He lept in the air whooping in joy when what was sappose to be the confetti came...he stopped and looked. They were petals, rose petals. One fell into his hands as he looked at it in awe. He looked up tp see his team cheering, Al Davis joining them, the Viking congratulation them and the rose petals falling...it was beautiful, it was incredible, it was-
Present...
Pillage opened his eyes as tears fell. That Super Bowl...would always be his favorite.
Pillage: It would be nice to go back there. With Al, with the others, the Guardians would join us this time and it would be 32 instead of 28. That experience after that win, with the roses...
Pillage smile fell abit as he sobbed, clutching the rose close to him. Thor released this as he sat Pillage down, comforting him. It was a few minutes before he sighed.
Pillage: Al...he's going to miss it if it happens again.
Thor: Pillage, he's already got his favorite one though.
Pillage smiled a bit. He wiped his tears away.
Pillage: Sorry about that, it's just...even after all the years I still miss him.
Thor: He was here for a long time, but I know he's still watching you all.
Pillage nodded. It was silent for a moment before Thor spoke up.
Thor: You know, you're kinda like roses.
Pillage: What do you mean?
Thor: Well, you have thorns, with shows your strong and ready to defend. But you soft, smooth, just like the petals. You might be the Rusher of a tough team, but your really nice.
Pillage smile grew.
Pillage: I just wish there were silver roses for the Raiders.
Thor: Maybe one day, for now we got you.
Thor winked as Pillage nudged him and the two chuckled.
Stampede: Hey guys! You alright?
Pillage and Thor got up as Stampede went over.
Pillage: Yep, everything all set up inside.
Stampede: *Looks around and smiles* Looking nice.
Thor: Yeah, all of us are pretty much done on the inside.
Stampede: That's good, we actually need some help outside if you don't mind helping.
Pillage: *Nods; Thor in agreement* Not at all.
Stampede smile as the three went out, but not before Pillage peaked back in to look at the Roses.
Pillage: I guess the Raiders could be like roses.
Pillage smiled to himself as he closed the door.
