Heya! I'm the anon who sent the Florina request a while ago, could i get summer prompt 20 with her? Thx!!!
Oh, you have such good taste... I love her so much, it’s fun to write about her!! Even if I’m not sure I do it well;; Regardless, I hope you enjoy!! ♡
Florina seems to be especially happy, humming a tune under her breath in a way she only does when she's beyond excited. It's a little surprising that you know her well enough to understand exactly what it means, but perhaps it’s a good thing.
"Florina!" The instant you utter her name, the spell over her is broken, although it's not quite a bad thing.
"Yes?" she replies, turning to face you with a gentle smile on her face, one that's almost synonymous with her entire being from how much you see it.
"Of course!" she exclaims with much more enthusiasm than usual. "My sister's sent me a gift, it only arrived this morning. I'm glad to know they're thinking of me." Florina's words are accompanied by the lifting of her arm, displaying a sky blue scrunchie with wings printed all over. "I'm glad they remember exactly what I like, even though it's been so long since I've last seen them," she says, sadness tinging the words a sorrowful colour, but her tone hasn't quite lost its joy.
Immediately, you search for something to say to distract from the topic. "Shouldn't you use it in your hair? I'm sure that's what they meant it for."
"Oh... Well, you're right..." Florina replies, her standard shyness replacing the earlier excitement. "But putting my hair up... just isn't something I can do. I don't think I'd look good..."
"Nonsense. I'm sure you'll look adorable, you always do! And, if you want, I'll put it up for you."
"But... Alright." Despite her hesitation, Florina still comes closer, handing you the scrunchie as she turns around to allow you access to the back of her head.
Gently, you smooth down her hair, pulling back the strands to gather it in your hand before slipping the scrunchie on to hold it in place. It takes less than 30 seconds, but it feels that much longer, that much more important. When you pull away, Florina exhales loudly before turning to look at you.
"More than okay, it's super cute!" You give her an encouraging smile, one that she returns, although hers is a bit weaker. "Don't worry, okay? It's summertime, the best time for trying new things. And if you don't like it, then you can always go back to your old hairstyle. I'm sure your sisters would understand."
It takes a moment, but Florina begins to nod. "Alright... Thank you." she smiles again, this time brighter than before.
"What're you thanking me for? It's only the truth."
"Ah... You're being too nice..." Almost reflexively, Florina turns her head, as if the action could hide the redness appearing on her cheeks. You stifle a laugh, not wanting to embarrass her more. Florina really is the cutest, even if she doesn't think so.
