[/fancypost] It never got old to him how Cass would run in like an excited little puppy or something when he came home. Since his promotion he had been out of the house a lot, doing work and keeping up his physical condition and strength. His job was, after all, to defend. Guard. Sh!t like that. To be honest, the only reason he did his job was because he still had the mind and mentality of a soldier. Do your job, do it well, and don't die. He could live his whole life based on that alone, but where was the fun in that?
He found himself smiling like the idiot he was when they hugged him, then came running around to the other side of the couch to sit with him. He twirled the rose in his hand slowly, looking at every petal starting to decay. Now he knew presenting a dying flower to your significant other was, in most eyes, a sh!tty thing to do. Why? Everyone wanted to gift their lovers the best gifts, as if to show off their affections. Not to mention the flower was, in fact, dying. But he didn't associate that with anything bad. The flower had fought the good fight.
"Flower. Saw it on one of the rose vines out there, it was the last one standing. Thought I'd end the misery before the cold completely choked the life out of it. Held up pretty well." As Cass asked about what he was holding, Alfred gave them a vague rundown of the story, tapping him on the nose with the flower. The kiss on his cheek made him blush a little bit, as it did every time. Damn it, Cassius. You know what? He liked it that way. He'd take all the kisses Cass had to offer, thanks.
[color=#FCDC3B]"And, uh...I thought I'd do something nice for you, so, here. If you want." He offered them the flower with a dorky smile, hoping it was good enough. Sure, this was Cass, but he still got worried from time to time that whatever he did wasn't enough. Guess that was what happened when you lived your whole life listening to people tell you that you really were a burden and couldn't do sh!t right...ever.
But he tried.
He wrapped his arms around Cassius, pulling him in for a good, wholesome hug. He was started to warm up a bit again, at least, and now the issue was fighting to urge to just sleep right where he was.
