Day 068: Bloom
You groaned as you slumped farther into your chair. Your brain felt full and studying just felt pointless at this point, but you had to keep going, especially with that exam tomorrow. You took a moment to stare at the ceiling, hoping that eventually the urge to keep studying would be graced miraculously upon you. A couple minutes passed and no luck. With that you hoisted yourself from your chair and went into the living room.
“Hey dude, how goes the studying?” Huxley was busy puttering around the room watering and caring for his plants. The living room could easily be a forest at this point.
“At this point, it's not,” You flopped on the couch and fell over the back to watch him.
“You know flowers don't bloom all year round,” He spoke softly and his focus was on a plant he was tending to. You wondered if he was talking to you or the plant, “Take your time, pace yourself. Remember that you can't be going 100% all the time. Take a break, drink some water, so that you can bloom another day. Take care of you.”
Your face flushed, slightly stunned, “I love you.”
Author Note: All I could think about was Huxley telling his friends how proud he was of them for ‘blooming’ into the people they are. Proud of them for moving forward, learning and growing. I could see him nurturing and caring for them like the many plants he own and loved. MY HEART.
