#XueXiao
It was Qixi, the 7th day of the 7th month of the year. A day for lovers.
XY came back to the coffin house after a solo night-hunt; a small demonic beast, easily exterminated without even breaking a sweat.
The reward was even smaller: a single copper coin.
But he found something better near the site where he took down the beast: a rose bush.
So he came home, bearing a bouquet of roses for XXC.
"It's proof that I love you," XY put the thornless bouquet into XXC's hands.
XXC smiled, "You've proved enough by staying by my side."
XXC sniffed at the roses, "They smell different. Sweeter...?"
XY grinned, "Pity you can't see them. They're blue roses."
"B-Blue!? Aren't they extremely rare to the point where no one has ever seen them before?" XXC exclaimed.
XY nodded, "Found a single solitary rose bush."
XXC, "I-I don't know what to say..."
XY, "Give me yourself."
"I already did," XXC answered, "Aren't you being especially honest today?"
XY "Hey, I'm always honest. Never lied to you. Ever! You deserve the rarest roses this world has to offer!"
XXC chuckled, "You treat me so well I often think that I don't deserve your love."
🥀🥀🥀🥀
"Ah, you don't deserve me... A liar like me.... Who has only ever lied to you..."
XY said to XXC as he placed a bouquet of white roses dyed in blue into his hands, inside the coffin.
