A/N: Hello everyone! I'm soooo happy, someone actually read and review to it! :D I never thought it would got this much attention, so thank you for everything! You have made my life a happier one! :D I'm here with the cheesiest chapter ever, and guess who it features? EDEN! I'm so evil for turning his character to something like this, sorry if they are OOC, but I warned you, I absolutely am not a talented writer, that's why I write crappy fanfictions :D

Pairing: Yuna/Eden

Plot: Yuna and Eden /awkwardly/ talk about things at Aria's grave.


The Name of Flower

Spring suited her more indeed. The awakening of nature, a new beginning and the atonement of creation made the young Saint recall the vibrant girl she got to know, even though it was for a short time.

Aquila Yuna breathed in the relaxing scents of various essences of flowers and plants surrounding the grave laying under the comforting shadow of a giant oak tree. Everywhere her eyes afford to see was full of vivid colors, just like how Aria was. She had refused to visit Aria's grave in winter or in fall because some reasons words could not explain. You say instinct, she says sentiment, but the thought always gave her shivers. The thought of Aria's grave surrounded by lifelessness. Even though Aria's body didn't lay there, Yuna knew her soul lingered around here.

"I'm so sorry I didn't visit you sooner…But here I am. A lot of things happened after you…left." She stopped to not to let her voice crack. "We defeated Mars. I mean, I know you already know that but I thought someone should say it properly. We saved the good old world, but it didn't really change the way the world rolls." Yuna laughed at her own cringing joke, but continued anyway. "There was this bloody maniac called Abzu, the God of Darkness. Medea was plotting for his return from the start, and I think you can understand what she was planning."

Yuna looked up to the cloudless morning sky. Suddenly remembering Eden. "Eden helped us a lot. You should be proud of him. He's more gentle and kind than he is letting on."

She didn't mean to say it like that.

She fidgeted as if someone was actually listening to her. "I mean, well, we couldn't defeat Abzu if he wasn't with us. He's not exactly on our side, he disappeared after the whole thing but I belive his vision is more clear right now. All thanks to you." Yuna looked at the flowers she was holding and relucantly put them on the grave. "Sorry, I am babbling. But…we all have changed. More or less. You should be assured, and I have a feeling Eden will also visit you sometime soon."

"Why am I not surprised to see you here?"

Yuna kept herself from jumping in surprise as she turned her head around, to only see a pair of teal eyes staring at her with furrowed eyebrows behind the giant oak tree. How come she couldn't sense him? Why was he behind the tree, was he hiding?

"Well I am certainly surprised to see you here. Why are you hiding, come over here." She said with a smile. So he hadn't disappeared, but had been staying here all the time?

"I am not hiding." He said in discontent as Yuna heard a rustling and he stood right next to her.

Yuna stared at him for the longest time before she asked, "Then what were you doing?" If he was there he must've heard what she said about him, the thought itself made something stir in her stomach and she was embarrassed abruptly.

"I was taking a nap, then you came along." He didn't make any eye contact with her, he was directly staring at the flowers on top of the grave, which were slightly dancing in the soft breeze.

She didn't want to drag that conversation longer, so she said the first thing she could think about.

"Why don't you come back to Palaestra?" Yuna said as she shut her mouth, immediately regretting the words that came out of her mouth. It was obvious he was going to brush her off angrily, it was none of her business after all.

However, his eyes didn't show any discomfort at her question. "I have things to do…things I promised Aria."

"Yet you still remain here. I can see you've been here for a quite long time."

Yuna expected a comeback from him, but a deep sigh was all she got. They stood in silence for a while, Yuna getting the chance to examine him and try to guess what he was thinking, and Eden reminiscing and getting flashbacks from the war with his father.

Yuna noticed Eden's hair was now a faded mint color, not a beautiful shade of teal. She had once read a Japanese myth –Koga was very persistent that she read some Japanese stories-, it said that extreme grief could cause one's hair to turn white. He had lost all of his family. Yuna could really relate to him, but she didn't feel the real pain of losing a family, she didn't remember having one from the start, and you could not miss something you never had.

Still, she blamed herself for thinking his hair was more elegant this way. This was the result for a deep sorrow, so why was she thinking like this?

She was the one who broke the silence first. "Thanks for what you did right there…with Mars and Abzu, if you weren't there we might have been bones swimming in lava now."

There was a deep chuckle. "I doubt your bones would hold out that much. But, don't mention it, and you're going to say something about my family. Don't."

Yuna's pale amethyst eyes widened. Orion Saint continued with arms crosses on his chest, but he was not strict nor angry with her. "I may have lost my family, but I've found the path I'm going to walk on. And that in my opinion, is better than grieving for all my life."

"Is that so? And I'm guessing your path has nothing to do with ours?"

"Maybe, maybe not. Though I'm absolutely against walking on the same path with someone who is suicidal enough to distract the enemy even if it costs her life to gain time for someone who doesn't believe himself more than she does."

He was talking about Amor. She shuddered with the image of his crazy eyes boring into hers. "You made it in time."

"It didn't mean anything."

"Of course it did!"

Eden narrowed his eyes at her. "You were the last one standing in the end."

"It has nothing to do with—"

"You could have gotten yourself killed! Do you know how much of a sadist Amor was?"

She opened her mouth for a counter strike but stopped. "Are…were you worried about me?"

There was a moment of silence between them as Eden fully faced her with eyes still narrowed at her. Aquila Saint never knew he was this tall, or how intimidating his shining teal eyes could be. "Eden—"

"I don't know. I think I really was worried, but I couldn't distinguish what was I worried about at that time, I was pretty sure you would not survive with your condition. Well, you wouldn't even if your cosmo at the best of your own state anyway."

"Does that make me your friend then?" Yuna asked, to a seemingly annoyed Orion Saint in front of her.

His answer was: "I don't have friends."

"Well you do now." Yuna didn't know when she had started smirking.

"I. Don't. Have. Friends."

"I. Am. Your. Friend."

Eden looked tired all of a sudden. "I don't want to be your friend." Then surprised. Surprised at his own words?

Oooouuuchh. Yuna thought. That really hurt.

It looked like Eden understood what she was thinking. It was probably written on all over her face. A sudden breeze made all kinds of flowers rain on them, making Yuna embarassingly try to calm her skirt and hair down at the same time. Eden just stared with his poker face on.

Then held her hand in both of his hands and planted an innocent kiss on her left cheek.

What…

"We'll see each other again, Yuna."

After that, he walked away like a boss and left a dumbstruck Aquila standing there like an idiot.

There, in the grave of Aria, layed a lone sweet pea flower beside the flowers Yuna had placed there.

And there, Yuna felt something in her hair that felt like it was tucked there, was a red tulip.


A/N: THE ENNNNDD! I hope you didn't hate it that much! So, I have a feeling I need to explain the meaning of the flowers I put in there!

Sweet Pea: Goodbye, Thank You For a Lovely Time.

Red Tulip: Declaration of Love.

So...ehehehehehehe :D Eden never said it directly after all!
