🌹 Rose Giving Petals and Pause

[Connor Holland]

((Yellow, open after @Nikko Blackwood ))

Connor had been dreading this delivery ever since he first saw the name on his list. At least the rose was yellow, but even that was a small comfort, and he strongly doubted this was going to go well. Deciding to rip the bandaid off, Connor hurried over to the Gryffindor table, making a beeline for the boy he was looking for. "Rose delivery for you." He explained without meeting Nikko's eye, already reaching into his basket for the flower.

 

[Nikko Blackwood]

Nikko was enjoying his time in the great hall. The flurry of different roses being passed around made him smile. He hoped Estella like the one he sent her and he was really looking forward to the dance too. He didn't even notice Connor until he was right next to him and he involuntarily frowned. "Oh." he said and looked at the yellow flower in his hand. He knew after all this time he shouldn't still feel this way about someone he dated so briefly. But no matter how much time had past, he still didn't want anything to do with the Head Boy. "Thanks." he said softly and held out his had.

Connor was relieved that Nikko didn't say anything but thanks, handing the rose and attached note over quickly. Usually he wished people a happy Valentines day with their deliveries but it didn't seem appropriate this time, so he simply gave Nikko a quick nod before walking away to let him read the note in privacy.

Spoiler: Note

Couch date? We should catch up. ~A

Nikko watched Connor curiously as he handed over the rose. He was acting like Nikko was about to bite his head off at any moment, which just annoyed him. He had never done anything to Connor even after their break up. But the sooner he was gone the sooner he didn't have to think about him anymore. Once he was finally alone again he sniffed the flower before setting it down on the table to read the note. He smiled and quickly realized it was from Aubrey. Catching up sounded great and he'd at least have one more story to tell.
