MY AGENDA

slams fists in the table

MY AGENDA STQYS TRUE

HERO WOULD WANT STEVE TO BE EVIL WITH HIM IF HE COUOD

But if you turn it this way–!

(i like to think his birthday is on February 13th, due to that being the day the first episode of WiStiM was released.)

It was simple really, a bouquet that looked as if it was made by a gardener who owns a flower garden. But with every flower known to the over-world, dandelions, poppies, every colour of tulips, roses, lilacs…. But the one that caught his attention the most? Lily of the Valley. It was rare to see in the wild, not many see them, and all who do are too scared to take one for their own collection. Too scared that one snip of garden tools on its stem would kill off every other one that grows. He too was one of those people but he always took a photo of whatever one(s) he saw.

What’s more is he recognized the handwriting on the card that had his name done in beautiful cursive. And oh how he loved how his name was written in that style. As Steve stepped out to pick up the bouquet he noticed some black petals scattered off into a sort of path.

Only one type of flower on the overworld, the nether, and the end, had black flower petals, Wither Roses.

“Why is there a path of wither rose petals?…”

He lets out a long tired sigh and carries the basket in, setting it on his table.

“Yayyy… So f*cking fun. I get to leave the comfort of my house…” He grabs the bridge of his nose and pulls his fluffy coat off its hook. He slips his arms into it and pulls the hood over his head, the fuzz around the opening of the hood tickling his face. He picks his snow boots up and pulls them on. Although it being the middle of February, it’s still snowy and cold out, it couldn’t hurt him to at least layer up a tiny bit.

“This is not the way I wanted to spend my birthday… I just wanted to curl up on my couch and sulk about the fact that everyone is busy today… Even Hero?? What the hell is he even doing that’s more important than my birthday???” He lets out a tired and shaky sigh as he feels the tears starting up in his eyes. “Whatever… Let’s just figure this out and get back…”

He wanted to help make him feel better, wipe those tears off his face. But the group’s surprise for him should make it all worth it. Hero managed to convince Barbara and Endy to do a surprise birthday party for Steven, Barbara being the… creature she is, was all in, as long as she got a snack. Hero knew that Steven was Endy’s favorite of the three she calls her children, she just masked it better then Withy masked his favoritism for Alex. So getting her on board was easy as well, she said that as long as he got Ron to help (Pstl/doomgod [heheheh] knows that she wouldn’t ask to get the Jebs involved) that she would get Withy and Alex on board too. He wasn’t sure how well she’d get them to behave and not make fun of him or bully him but she somehow got them on board. Remarkable on her part, that’s for sure.

Scrunch, scrunch, scrunch… The sound of snow crunching fades so do the footsteps that make the sound do. This gives Hero the clear after a minute to check the door, after all it’d be better to check before using his copy of the key. He floats over to the door and checks the handle. The door opens, and Hero lets out an annoyed sigh.

“He never bothers to lock it with these trips… Idiot…” he opens the door all the way and gestures for Endy and the others to follow him inside. Everyone starts decorating and doing what they were assigned, Hero slips out of the cube and heads off towards where he suspects Steven to be.

Steve follows the petals until he is met with a cave that’s entrance has vines hanging from above it making something like a door. He hesitates for a few seconds before taking out his lighter and stepping past the vines, once through lighting his lighter to give off enough light to not chase into a wall. The light the small flame gives off shows beautiful carvings on the cave walls, further in it shows a bouquet of wither roses smashed on the ground, with purple and black ichor droplets next to it, seeming like someone smashed it here and starting crying. But no any someone. Him. Steve’s someone.

Steve rummages through his messenger bag and pulls out a touch, he lights it and finds a holder and sets it into the holder, then he kneels down to the smashed bouquet on the floor and sorts through the flowers making it look nicer, after spending so long with the literal Wither in his head he found he was immune to the poison they give off to most people. The only thing that really hurt was the thorns. Steve let out a soft sigh when one of the nicer looking ones snaps off its stem only having enough to sit in someone’s hair. He picks it up and gently sets it in a pocket hoping it stays presetine. Once the bouquet is good enough he stands up and holds it. He starts to reach for his torch until he hears a stick snap inside the cave. He doesn’t react much, just lets out a tired happy sigh and runs a hand through his tangled hair. 

“Can’t find anything better to do then stalk me once you get the chance..?” He says softly waiting for a response.

“I-I …no,” Steve turns around and is met with Hero gently floating six feet away and doing anything but making eye contact with him. “Sorry I had to cancel our plans earlier… Something came up and I didn’t know how long it’d take…”

✿~~~✿~~~✿~~~✿

Steven walks up closer to Hero and pulls out the small rose and gently places it in Hero’s hair. The action alone was enough to make Hero a flustered mess. Steven lets out a soft chuckle at Hero’s stuttering and bright red face. Hero paused in his flooding thoughts and just stared at Steven, he stared at that smile that seemed to light up every dark room Hero was in, the eyes that sparkled whenever he had a plan that he was most likely going to regret halfway through, his fluffy and messy hair that probably had tangles and knots in it which would leading to Hero having to comb them out, his lips that always made sure to gently kiss Hero’s… Speaking of kisses he snapped out of his thoughts the moment he felt Steven’s soft lips interlock against Hero’s own rough ones. Hero quickly melted into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Steven’s neck as Steven’s arms wrapped themselves around Hero’s waist. They just stayed like that for a little, taking small breaks so Steven can get actual air and not just the air he breathed out of his nose. After a bit they parted only having their hands be the only thing keeping them in each other’s touch.

Steven cleared his throat and spoke up “So… You wanna go to my place? It’s closer, considering yours is in the literal Ender world…” 

Hero slumps against Steven’s arm, soaking up the heat.

“Mhm…”

✿~~~✿~~~✿~~~✿

The two headed off towards Steve’s cube, exchanging small glances and smiles the whole way. Once they made it Hero removed his hand from Steve’s and let him open the door.

“I don’t remember turning the light off…” Steve mumbles although loud enough to make it sound like he was talking to Hero, really only said to himself as he flicks the light on and is met with everyone who helped set up the surprise jumping out at him and yelling surprise.

“HOLY F*CK-!!” Steve jumped and screamed like a man (it sounded like a grown woman at the most) “YOU GUYS CAN’T- Ughhh… I’m not even gonna…”

After everyone settled down they all started eating cake, and sharing stories from past adventures. The small party lasted for quite some time, but eventually everyone left after an hour, Hero said he would come back and help clean up, he just had to drop Ron off at home. After dropping Ron off and getting back to help clean the two managed to pick up and get everything put away. That is after a few hours… of pausing to slow dance to whatever song was playing, passing small kisses to each other, and overall just Steve goofing around.
