slightly suggestive ~
Albus can't keep his eyes away from Faithful and Kerano as they mess around in the flower patch. Well, it's not really messing around. Faithful seems to be doing some kind of sorcery, weaving the stems of the flowers with her nimble hands into some kind of crown.
Even Kerano is astonished, eyes absolutely sparkling upon seeing the completed headpiece as Faithful raises it to the sky.
"It's so pretty," Kerano squeals.
"So then it's perfect. It matches its new owner," Faithful smiles as she plants the crown on the little bugger's head.
And Albus has to admit, she's right. It's perfect on Kerano. The white and blue petals adorn her head perfectly.
"Isn't this so nice, scary man?" Kerano flashes a toothy grin at Albus. He starts, not expecting the attention now on him.
"Oh, uh..." He blinks, "yeah. Very nice."
Faithful snorts at him with a playful roll of her eyes.
"You want one too?" Faithful asks.
"Uh...no thanks. I'm good."
Faithful, ever the stubborn woman, stands and walks up to him. He finds himself trying to sit up straighter and shyly raising his eyes to hers.
"You're very close," the words tumble out of his mouth.
"Yes, I am," and she wastes no time, gently placing a yellow flower behind his ear. Her eyes are still locked with his as the tips of her fingers trace the shell of his ear, down to the firm slope of his jaw before finally trailing off his chin. "Nice," the whispered word sends goosebumps exploding down his arms.
Faithful giggles smugly to herself and straightens up. "Come along, Kerano. Let's go."
"Okay," Kerano chirps.
And Albus watches, absolutely gobsmacked, as Faithful walks up to the kid and takes her hand. She peers at him over her shoulder. "Coming Albus?"
....oh he would be later tonight.
