Flora smiled hesitantly at Luke, elbowing Sequoia in the ribs when a look that seemed just a bit too hungry passed over her face. Sequoia stuck her tongue out, encouraging Flora to pick up the smallest squash blossom and take a hesitant nibble from the end. It was warm and kind of sweet, light...

Levi followed Winston faithfully, trying to memorize the route just in case he needed to get to the coffee shop and back later. He also might've been trying to keep his mind off the man in the green parka until he got to the safety of his bedroom where he could freak out without disturbing...

Sequoia lopped down at the table, bouncing lightly on the balls of her feet to stay alert. There was no way the curse of the kitchen was catching her off guard. Even if that fried squash blossom stuff smelled completely amazing. And she really wanted to eat one. She mentally slapped herself...

Levi nodded, stumbling to his feet as fast as he could. He winced as his thighs peeled off the leather seat with a sickening squelch. God, he hated that sound. By the time he was standing, Winston had managed to weave his way through a thick crowd of people and out of sight. Fuck. Which way were...

Flora shrugged. Cooking seemed fun to watch, but she didn't want to intrude. Luke deserved privacy. It would be wrong for her to infringe upon it, especially is he was only giving her the offer to be polite. Not that he seemed the type to do that. She got the feeling that by this point she was...

Levi was caught between being happy that he wasn't completely useless and weirded out that Winston though he could be useful. Some days, he could barely force himself to roll out of bed. Most days, he struggled to do all the things normal people should. Today, Winston asked him to contribute...

It was strange to see someone transition from quiet shock to practiced indifference in the same breath, but Winston managed to make it look natural. For someone who looked so young, he seemed skilled at schooling his emotions. Skilled at painting on new faces and leaving the old ones behind...

Flora smiled as a light blush covered her cheeks. There it was again, that strange care for her. For what she supposedly deserved. Deserved. It was strange, the way that word made her feel. In her mind, she didn't deserve any of this. What had she done to help these people? How had she been a...

Flora bit her lip before she finally decided to accept the first taste. If Luke wanted her to do it, she didn't want to say no. And they were her squash blossoms. The appetizer wouldn't exist if she hadn't grown the blossoms, so she was perfectly justified in taking the first bite. Besides, this...

Levi stood once his order was called, meandering his way over to the counter where he picked up his black coffee. Winston had recognized the opening he left himself in the promise, but he hadn't complained. That was as good as a free pass as far as Levi was concerned. People spoke up if...

Flora watched with poorly concealed worry as Luke sprinted down the stairs. At several points, she reached out her hand as if to slow him down or keep him from slipping, only to rest it at her side again when Luke revealed himself to be fine. She was surprised that he was able to pick up the...

Winston seemed to be pushing a bit hard on the 'don't mention it' conversation point. It wasn't something Levi felt that he'd bring up anyways- his friends had learned not to ask about his personal life after catching a few of his bumbling, apology filled answers. When he didn't know what to...

There was a pleasant breeze blowing through the garden when Sequoia and Flora stepped outside. The cherry blossoms waved cheerily in the wind, pink petals occasionally ripping free from the branches and blowing through the yard. It was a beautiful day, perfect for meditation. Flora made a mental...

Levi looked up with thinly veiled surprise when Winston made his way over to a tiny bundle of chairs. For a place that was clearly swarmed, there were a surprising number of seats open, though that made sense. Most of the people seemed like they had places to go. More importantly: Winston had...

Sequoia sighed in relief when Luke softened into her arms and she squeezed just a little tighter before she let go. Hogging Luke was nice. He was way warmer than Flora, though she still preferred Flora hugs better. Flora hugs made the world so much better because Flora hugs were always...
