Friday nights tended to be hellish— not because it was a Friday, far from it, but because of two simple reasons. First and foremost, the exhaustion of Monday to Thursday completely piled up into one giant baggage of stress that weighed and wore you down. Second, Friday tended to the busiest of all the weekdays, what with the increased number of date nights and any other occasion.

Speaking of date night…

As you made yourself more comfortable on the sofa, you found yourself staring at the blond man beside you. One of his hands possessed a wine glass, an aged Rioja wine with the aroma of red cherries and dried herbs— you knew that its partial priciness made him rarely bring it out;

on the other hand, a black, Nintendo switch joy con. Specifically, your switch controller, but at some point the two of you ended up sharing the console (mostly him not wanting to buy his own).

You set aside your own drink and scoot closer to him, hoping he’d give you attention if you pout or whine for a long enough time.

“Sakyo, I regret forcing you to play this game.”

You stared at the television screen, his character looking eerily peaceful as he watered some red tulips right next to a custom design path with blood on it.

“You’re just mad half of your island is my territory now,” Sakyo said, pausing to take a sip from glass before he continued, “and that I’m richer than you.”

“You only have more bells than me because you’re a capitalist,” you closed your eyes, leaning your head against his shoulder, “and I’m a communist. How could we ever share this island properly?” you sighed, feigning exasperation even though the both of you knew neither of you was being serious. If anything, you came to enjoy seeing moments where Sakyo could just sit back and have fun.

You knew he never got many moments to enjoy playing video games, and while you have introduced him to some with premises similar to his line of work (works, if you include that one actor training game you made him play), it was unexpected to have him enjoy such a… soft game.

… but of course, he still decided to play by strategising how to get rich quick in 5 simple steps, and also making his side of the town have a Japanese theme and Yakuza setting vibe as opposed to your gothic aesthetic, but that was beside the point.

“Why do you need more black tulips, though?” upon hearing your question he turned to face you, and in the few seconds of simply staring at each other you wondered if he would actually tell you or just leave you hanging like that.

“Didn’t you say you wanted a dark tulip crown?”

You were a little puzzled at that. The two of you literally had a shared garden in the middle of your respective spots, filled with black, red, and violet flowers of any possible variety— although perhaps taking flowers from there would ruin the design you and Sakyo conceptualised and argued on for nearly an hour.

… okay, yeah, makes sense why Sakyo would rather grow 5 new flowers.

Without words, Sakyo went back to having his little character run around the island doing mundane chores in dark sunglasses and a black suit. Instead of continuing to watch the screen, you stared at him instead.

Tomorrow was Saturday, and Saturdays meant some semblance of a date— be it lunch outside or a nice dinner together, but today was Friday and Fridays meant rest for the both of you.

For at least a little while, you were content just leaning against him as you observed his face soften up as the stress lines disappeared.

“You don’t know subtlety, do you,” Sakyo sighed, using his free hand to rub his temples, “with all your staring.”

His character stops moving, and you find your eyes dropping to the fingers still poised atop the controller.

The silver band on a particular finger gleamed at you, and you couldn’t prevent the grin that rose to your face, just as bright and shiny as its pair on your own.

“ thank you for your hard work today at the flower shop! here, feel free to take home this black tulip with you~ ”

【 tulip 】 perfect, deep love 【 black tulip 】 power and strength.

“ maybe you’d like some more flowers before heading home? ”

𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐨: i was thinking about black flowers, and i was like “i remember having a lot of black roses & tulips in animal crossing new leaf” 

𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: this is the shortest thing i’ve written, oops. i usually enjoy writing 1k and up works, but i don’t think this had to be longer + i know some people prefer shorter works, which i’m honestly not used to writing and need practice on

also hi sankakunnie, if you see this, i miss you <3
