Friendship Bouquet

"What's got you so stuck in your mind~?" Damien's voice was like silk as he purred into her curled ears and Limon promptly took the notepad in front of her to swat at the prideful doll's head. Unfortunately for her, he pulled away in time and her notepad hit his arm instead. Fortunately for her, the notepad avoided his spikes.

"Shut up." She sulked as she glanced down at her notepad with several scratched out flower ideas. Damien frowned lightly at how sullen the usually cheery and spunky citrusy doll was being.

"Limon" His sharp tone had her jerking up at Damien whose eyebrows was furrowed slightly.
"......I'm trying to sort out flower for Ione. They gave me some chocolates the other week for being such a good friend."

"That's kind of you to do that." A kinder voice called out and they both turned to face a taller gluttony blond doll who had just entered the closed parlor. Before Damien could even open his smirking lips, Limon swiftly swatted at his arms and he jumped away with an offended glare her way.
"Behave, you!" Limon pointed at him with the notepad before sighing and turning to the gluttony
"Why are you here? Not that I don't appreciate it but I don't recall any plans for tonight?"
"He's here for your booty, what else?" Damien smirked as he moved out of her swatting range, Limon glared at him as Teddy's cheeks burned bright red.

"....Did you and Feleli manage to finish those chocolates from other week?" Limon rolled her eyes as Damien immediately confirmed.
"Took us a week or so."
"You got the gluttony size, you dumbass" Limon sighed "500 is too much for you two."
".....Feleli sharing them with the household staff helped." Damien admitted as Teddy's jaw dropped in shock. Damien still kept his eyes trained on Limon and it was obvious to other two that the gears were turning in his head.

".....Still. Limon. Why are you obsessing over those flowers?"
"Because this is my best friend. My litter mate. Not that you'd understand considering..."
"Ouch" Damien pouted at how she had snapped at him as Teddy cleared his throat.

"I'm definitely incorporating Gladiolus as those are their favorites. Integrity and strength as symbolisms." Limon stated as Damien glanced at the notepad in her hand. Gladiolus happened to be the only flower not crossed out on her list.

"Iris. It symbolizes 'Your Friendship Means so Much to Me' Some of my club patrons were discussing flowers the other day..." Damien piped up and had to elaborate upon surprised reactions from the other two dolls. Limon immediately jolted it down on her notepad.
"I've been considering Blue Hyacinth for constancy but I'm not sure if it'll fit...." Limon admitted and Teddy went around the counter to wrap arms around her.

"It will fit. From how you talk of Ione; it's obvious that they're a consistent presence in your life." The gluttony pointed out as Limon slowly relaxed in his embrace with Damien waggling his eyebrows at the sight. It immediately got a scowl out of Limon and a heavy blush from Teddy.

"I hate you."
"That's a lie." Damien smirked at Limon who groaned softly.
"Why are we friends again?"
"For the sex" Teddy went crimson red at how Damien had immediately answered Limon so shamelessly.

"......I am questioning your friendship...." Teddy muttered and Limon giggled softly.
"We've known each other for so long that we're like this now. I get to tease him about Feleli and-"
"And I tease her about how her latest hot ride turns such a lovely shade of crimson anytime she as much as show the tiniest amount of bare skin"
"T-That's not t-true!" Teddy weakly protested as Limon burst out laughing while Damien snickered
"I'm teasing, darling."

"...So. Gladiolus, Blue Hyacinth and Iris......I do want to add one or two more flowers." Limon sighed softly, returning to her original dilemma as the two men shared an concerned look.

"....Holly. Domestic Happiness." Limon decided as she jolted it down on her notepad "And Queen Anne’s Lace for 'haven' because they're a safe place for me..." Limon smiled as she glanced up to Teddy and Damien who both shared rather amused look at her.

When Ione opened the door to a floral delivery, their eyebrows were raised as they took the bouquet inside to set it inside the vase with some water.
At the sight of Gladiolus, they smiled slightly as it meant whoever ordered this bouquet knew it is one of their favorites. Not many knew that.
As Ione picked up the card to read.

'Gladiolus for Integrity and Strength.
Iris for Your Friendship Means so Much to Me.
Blue Hyacinth for Constancy. Because you are consistent in my life.
Holly for Domestic Happiness. Because I can be at ease doing domestic stuff with you.
Queen Anne's Lace for Haven. Because you are a safe place for me.'

Ione had to snort at the choices especially the last one.
"And I was sure you were my safe haven" they mused to themselves.
