"Michiru… I have arrived!" says the tall blonde while entering the house

"Good, because I almost finished cooking so we can have dinner, I am starving"

Haruka walks towards her wife and hugs her from behind, and puts a bouquet of gold yellow roses in front of her.

"Aww, how thoughtful!" answers. "Can you put them in water?"

"Of course, love of my life" and goes to the other room to bring a flower vase and comes back with a glass one that starts to fill with water. "You know, they looked at me as if I was insane when I told them it was for my wife, almost like they wanted to throw me away. I guess they are… well… kind of shocked that I have a wife".

Michiru burst into laughter, laughing so hard that she almost falls, making Haruka look at her upset about not being taken seriously.

"Love, it is not nice and unexpected at this year and century have people who don't approve"

The aquamarine hugs Haruka and kisses her cheek "They are not homophobic, but definitively they were judging you, and judging you hard. They must have thought you were sending me a nasty message with those yellow roses"

"But roses do mean love, don't they?"

"Not yellow roses. They mean jealousy, a decrease in love, and infidelity. And you buying them so cheerfully must have been the cherry on top for them"

"WHAT!" Haruka yelled covering her eyes with her hands "Was I saying I hated you and I was being unfaithful? But you said you liked yellow roses"

"I do because my aunt used to have them in her garden. She liked yellow and roses, that's why she cultivated them, despite the meaning. Now, confess. Did you flirt with the girl on the counter, thus reaffirming their thoughts?"

Haruka got paler and moaned in embarrassment while Michiru resumed her laughing and hugged her, letting the blonde to hide her face on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, Love. I know you meant well, and if you want to revindicate your honour, tomorrow go and buy a blue hydrangea, it means 'Forgive me', and it could be better if you look contrite"

Haruka nodded without releasing Michiru, still hidden in her shoulder.
