The Sarkaz Swordsman walks through the busy halls of Rhodes Island, it seems everyone was enjoying Christmas celebrations, he scoffed to himself, why celebrate something like that? He didn’t understand it.He kept walking towards the greenhouse, he wasn’t sure why exactly he was going there, most flowers had already died but he liked being there. He entered the greenhouse and could feel the cold almost immediately, the mostly glass structure didn’t keep in heat well.
With a turn of his head he scanned the room, no one was here, even Perfumer was off taking part in the celebrations. Flamebringer made his way through the cold room, frost had built up on the glass, making some interesting patterns. He pondered on how such patterns came and went, it was something he thought about with a lot of things.
The Sarkaz was arranging some of the empty flower pots when he heard someone else enter the greenhouse. “I thought I’d find you here, Swordsman.” He turned to see the female Sarkaz standing in the doorway, two piercing red eyes staring at him and the faintest hint of one of her signature smirks on her face. “W….why are you here?” He said, already turning back to sorting the pots, he could hear her coming closer. “Well the celebrations bored me but also came to wish you a happy birthday~”
He paused for a second, they way she said that, how had she found out about the day he had given the Doctor and Amiya as his birthday. He grunted “Thanks….” Out of the corner of his eye he say W jump up onto the table beside him, sitting there and smirking at him. “You lied…..you always said you forgot your birthday.” And there it was, she caught him, he didn’t give a response but she had more to say “Why did you give them my birthday as your own?”
He sighed, straightening the last pot. “I knew you wouldn’t give them it” he looked at her but looked away before he spoke “.....and I did it because of what she said to you.” W was taken aback by this, her smirk dropping into a more sombre look as she remembered her queen smiling at her and what she said. “W, you should celebrate your birthday, it’s important.” W had her head dropped slightly, her ashen hair now obscuring her eyes. Flamebringer turned to her once again, and brushed her hair back. “You know I still remember this being longer.” This comment seemed to cheer W up a bit. “Are you saying you liked it better when it was longer?” He didn’t give an answer, just a slight smile almost. Then she suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him into a kiss, this took him completely off guard but he didn’t resist. When the kiss broke off she was smirking and tapped his chin with her finger. “I think I deserved to steal a kiss on my birthday~”
Flamebringer just stood there silent but was secretly happy she recognised her birthday, for now at least. W hopped off the table, heading for the door. “I’ll see you later, swordsman.” She said with one last wink before disappearing out of the room, leaving Flamebringer just standing there, before he went back and went to sort out bags of fertilizer like nothing happened.
