"I never needed protection," Katsuki stated as he twisted the stem of yet another orange coreopsis. "Yet here I am, with my unguarded heart captured by you."

Eijirou merely laughed as he slid another red anemone into his lover's light ash blond hair. "Oh, the irony," he answered with teasing lightness, a soft smile, and half-lidded eyes. Eijirou glanced down at the hands in his Lord's lap. A half-ring of coreopsis was being worked away as another chuckle escaped his lips.

"What are you doing, my Lord?" Eijirou asked as he cautiously attempted to pull Katsuki's hands away from the flowers to examine his ward's work.

Katsuki brought the knot of flowers to his chest, encasing them in his hands. Eijirou wondered if the vibrant shade of orange would stain his square-cut linen tunic. He prayed that it didn't. If word got out and the King and Queen knew—if the public knew—who knew what would happen to them? Eijirou couldn't have that. He cared too much for the beautiful young man in front of him.

"Did I give you permission to touch me?" Katsuki shot Eijirou a wary glare, uncertain of how to react.

Not even a beat later, Eijirou already had his hands on his folded knees, and his head hung in apology. "Forgive me, my Lord, I wasn't thinking correctly, and I deeply apologize."

"I was only teasing," Katsuki scoffed, setting the flowers aside. He then rocked onto his knees and pinched Eijirou's chin between his index and thumb, pulling Eijirou's brick-red eyes into his volcanic gaze. "But I'm afraid that a simple apology won't suffice, Eijirou."

Soft lips met brittle ones as Katsuki used his free hand to coil fingers around Eijirou's dark hair. Gasping, Eijirou shut his eyes to savor the moment, cupping Katsuki's face with his calloused hands.

Even with many sharp, angular attributes, everything about Katsuki was soft. His hair. His skin. His lips. When Katsuki thought Eijirou didn't notice, the Knight had often caught his paramour sending delicate looks in his direction.

When Katsuki pulled away, they both paused, resting their foreheads against one another. Eijirou waited and waited for Katsuki to pull away first. But when he didn't, Eijirou took the hand that pinned his chin and gingerly brought it to his cheek to give it a loving caress.

Surprised, Katsuki pulled his head away to examine Eijirou's action. He was shocked by the sudden action of warmth. When Eijirou knew that Katsuki wouldn't further the distance between them, he brought Katsuki's wrist to his lips. The thin fabric radiated with Katsuki's warmth as Eijirou brushed his lips over the back of Katsuki's wrist. Once Eijirou slowed his racing heart, he pressed a firmer kiss, one full of affection and care, on the back of the pale wrist in his hand.

"Will that suffice as a proper apology, Lord Katsuki?"

Katsuki's wide eyes narrowed as he struggled to compose himself and school his features. "Yes," he said as he slowly intertwined the hands of the future Marquess and the Knight in training. "I suppose so."

With that, the pair sat in comfortable silence. Both enjoy the other's company. Once the wind picked up again, blowing some of the loosely placed flowers out of Katsuki's hair, Eijirou glanced down at the faint rustling of orange. "What were you doing with those coreopsis, my Lord?"

"Eijirou," a sigh escaped Katsuki's lips as he gathered the unfinished ring and plucked more surrounding flowers. "I told you to stop calling me that in private. You may be my Knight, but you are also my lover. And should be treated as an equal. Especially when behind closed doors."

"Apologies, my Lor—Katsuki, but you are the son of the Marquess, and I am only but a humble Knight." He uttered a low and pained laugh. "How could I be treated as an equal by you?"

Katsuki reached up and gave Eijirou's armored shoulder a comforting squeeze. "Listen to me, Eijirou. I've known you since the age of seven. I have seen your strength, listened when you had something to say, and respected your decisions. And you've done the same for me. Isn't that what equals are?"

The Knight averted his gaze from his Lord. "I suppose so..."

"As for the coreopsis," Katsuki continued as he began twisting more flowers onto the chain. "They are for you. It shouldn't be fair that only I am decorated by the flowers of your love."

A smile melted onto Eijirou's face as he watched Katsuki loop the string of orange flowers. When Katsuki placed the floral crown onto Eijirou's head, a small smile flitted across his features. "You look as beautiful as a million sunsets. As breathtaking as thousands of sunrises. And as inviting as a fire on a bitter winter's day." Katsuki murmured as he inched impossibly close. "What have I done to appease the universe and be granted someone like you in my life, Eijirou?"

Eijirou grinned as rose-tinted his cheeks and nose. "I feel like I should be the one to ask you that, Katsuki."

When their lips met for a final time, it felt like coreopsis and anemones blooming on a warm spring day.

Viola! The last alythekitten drabble that I have written so far! If she makes more art that inspires me, you can definitely count on me writing some more!

This might actually be the first drabble I wrote that was inspired by her, what are your thoughts? Do you think my writing style has changed much? I think it's changed a little, but I'm not sure.

If you want anything written based on your art, please tell me!! I'll tag you on Tumblr (if that's where you posted it) or on here so that way you can't miss it!!

Please let me know if there are any mistakes! Make sure to eat your sleep, catch some food, and drink your water and I'll see you in the next chapter!
