🌹 Rose Giving Pink Rose, Brother Dear?

pink rose for @Miles Flynn

It had been Eloise's first time delivering roses, and Eloise had been excited to deliver them. Eloise was wearing her rose and Valentine letter earrings, which she thought had suited the occasion. She needed to be on theme with the event, of course! She picked up a rose to deliver first, and she grinned happily when she noticed who it was, but then gasped excitedly when she noticed the colour it had been. Eloise giddily made her way to the Gryffindor house table, grinning more when she had spotted her brother, before quickly taking a seat next to her brother, not caring if someone was supposed to sit there. "Miles! Guess what! I have a rose for you! You wanna guess the colour?"

Miles was just minding his own business at the Gryffindor table, trying to ignore all the rose deliveries going on around him. He'd managed to get through his own deliveries already, had somehow managed to avoid getting any roses thrust in his own face. Because he didn't mind helping out with the event, but it was actually just embarrassing to receive a rose. Eloise had managed to catch him off guard, smiling as she sat down and not expecting anything until she made the sudden announcement she had a rose for him. Immediately, his shoulders almost deflated, but he tried to put on a smile all the same as he shrugged. "Oh, I, um, I wouldn't know."

Eloise noticed immediately that her brother's emotions had changed when she mentioned she had a rose for him, which made her frown a little. She'll circle back to that in a second, but for now, she had a mission of passing this rose to her brother. "Drum roll pleasssseeee" Eloise says happily, doing a little drum roll on the table, before quickly pulling out a pink rose and note out of her basket. "A pink rose!" Eloise says with a grin, as she quickly hands over the pink rose to Miles. "Is there someone I don't know about? I'm hurt you didn't tell me" Eloise says jokingly with dramatics, though she was indeed curious on who had given her brother the note and rose, while also wondering what was on the note, she was nosy, but hadn't read what was on the note.

If it was bad enough to have your own sister deliver a rose to you, it was absolutely mortifying that the rose she was delivering was pink. Yellow would have been bad enough, and he supposed he could be thankful it wasn't red. But pink? "I don't think so?" He sounded confused as he took the rose, before thinking about a little more and shaking his head. "I mean, no I don't think so? There's no one to tell you about." And when he actually looked down and read the note attached to the embarrassing pink rose, he couldn't help the way his face burned a rather bright shade of red. Quickly, he crumpled the note in his hand and rather hastily shoved it into his pocket before his sister could get a look. "Thanks it was... a joke." It had better be a joke.
