a/n: Happiest birthday to the one and only @inkys-garden . I hope you have a great birthday and remain your charming self for eternity.

Zuha had been excited for her birthday for days now, naturally so. Her friends had been excited with her and even managed to get a reservation by her favourite restaurant. Everyone dear to her was thrilled. All except one: Cyno. Every time Zuha walked up to him to ask about her birthday, he would excuse himself when she just wanted to ask if they could spend her birthday together. Every time he would make another excuse which would be more ridiculous than the previous one. "I'm sorry I can't talk right now I need to investigate something", "I need to go get that limited edition TCG card.", "Al haitham called for me", etc.

At first, she tried to be understanding but the more he made excuses the more she started to feel frustrated. All she wanted was to spend some time with him, was it that difficult to just listen for two seconds?

One day, after Cyno made an excuse of watering the desert, she had enough. She stepped in front of him and frowned. "Cyno, is there nothing that you have to say to me?" She inquired, trying to keep her emotions in check. But Cyno didn't answer. He just remained quiet and glanced away. "Is there something I need to say?" He asked nonchalantly. Zuha felt her heart shrinking. "Is there really nothing that you might have forgotten..?" She asked quietly, her tone a bit sadder now. Again, nothing. "...I don't think I have forgotten anything." He answered simply and stepped away. "I apologize, I don't have time to talk right now. We'll talk another time." And with that he hurried away, leaving her alone.

Zuha felt her heart breaking. Did Cyno really forget about her birthday? She felt heartbroken - no, frustrated. How can her lover forget about her birthday? And he just left without even saying anything but a few words? That made her even more angry.

Only a day was left until her birthday and she hasn't seen or talked to Cyno for a week now. She was ignoring him and he was being occupied with "important matters", as he said.

Her friends were with her, trying to cheer her up. "Come on Zuha, cheer up." One of her friends said. "Yeah! It's your birthday tomorrow, don't ruin your day because of that." The other tried to cheer up. Zuha really wanted to spend some time with Cyno, even if it was for just a moment. But seeing how much her friends tried to cheer her up, she couldn't stay upset for too long. She started feeling better and laughed with everyone.

The next day, she was greeted by her friends' birthday wishes, all of them urging her to get ready so they wouldn't get late for the reservation. Her friends helped her get ready, styling her hair and doing some light makeup that complimented her features. Once she was ready, they all took her to the destined restaurant.

Once she entered, she was awed by the decorations and the lightening. She looked around, admiring the decorations and noticed that the restaurant was empty. Except for one person. "Cyno?" She asked, surprised to see him standing there in clothes that were matching hers. She was about to go run up and hug him but then remembered how he avoided her. "What are you doing here?" She asked nonchalantly, trying to appear upset to him. He only smiled and walked up to her, holding out a red rose for her to take. "Wishing my birthday girl." He replied and watched her eye the rose, her cheeks tinting pink even though she tried to hide it. "But I thought you forgot. You have been avoiding me and didn't even talk to me." She said and frowned.

He looked at her apologetically and lifted her chin so she would look at him. "I was trying to prepare things for your birthday," he answered. "And I knew that if you looked at me like that, I wouldn't be able to keep it from you." He explained. Zuha's eyes softened at his apology and could feel her heart melting. 'He didn't forget me,' she thought. "I'm sorry for leaving you standing the other day. I couldn't bring myself to see you sad so I left." He took her hands in his, bringing them up to his lips and placing a soft kiss on both of them. "Forgive me?" Her face was a deep shade of red at this point and she jumped into his arms, his arms wrapping around her. "Apology accepted." She said, feeling all giddy.

Her friends entered as well by that and chuckled. "Finally! It was so hard to not tell her everything." One sighed. Zuha looked at Cyno and raised an eyebrow at that. "What do they mean?" She asked to which he shrugged in return. "Why do you think they arrived so quickly by you that day?" He asked in return. Her eyes widened as she realised and she smiled brightly. "Aww guys! You're too sweet!" She cooed.

After a while, the restaurant started to fill up with people as guests started to arrive one by one. Everyone was wishing her one by one and gave her their respective presents. In the evening, when the party guests started to leave, only a few close ones remained to stay with Zuha for longer. They all were at Zuha's place, chattering and laughing together while she opened her presents. "That's from me." Cyno said when she picked up a small rectangular box. She carefully opened the present, feeling curious about the content in the box. She felt her heart skip a beat when she saw what was inside. In it was a gold bracelet with a flower design engraved. On the inside was her pen name engraved with a wish for her to stay happy. Zuha felt tears well in her eyes and she hugged him, muttering thank yous and I love yous to him. Cyno returned the hug and patted her head. "Happy birthday, you make my life so fun-fetti." He said to which everyone in the room groaned. "You just HAD to ruin it with one of your lame jokes!" One of them complained to which Zuha laughed. "What do you mean? I loved it!"

I AM CRYING. OH WTF 😭 😭 😭 😭 WHAT A CUTE CYNO FIC!!! "watering the desert" cyno you funny ass guy!! Misa how do I begin to tell you just HOW much I loved this??!?! This is perfect and I fell in love with your writing all over again. So simple and sweet, just like you my bbg 🥺 you have blessed my birthday!!! Aaaaa 🫂 🤗 👐 🫂

Saw this as I woke up and chose violence 😤

(but give those names.)

Usually I don't reblog but this came on my fyp it is so magnificently beautiful I could marry this drawing instead. (The real Zayne would be better of course.)

First-meeting Apologies

The trucks had been in front of the old boutique for weeks now. Sometimes, on early afternoons when they were drilling on the other side of the wall, you worried the vases on your shelves would come crashing down. Other times you heard hammering so loud that you couldn't help but wonder if they were going to demolish the place next door completely. That would have been fine by you hadn't the construction impacted the serene haven you'd created in your flower shop. While strolling pedestrians used to be drawn to your shop for the simple but lovely outdoor displays, now for the past month they circled the area due to the yellow and red warning signs around the place.

The day you finally got fed up with these disturbances and went to ask the renovators why they insisted on such ruckus, you learnt they were making adjustments for a clinic. With that, your irritation subsided to a degree. It was true that healthcare was scarce in this city—a new clinic would certainly benefit the residents of the area. In the end, you issued your complaint in a much more mild manner than you had initially planned, only making a sidenote of how the signs outside were obscuring the sidewalk, and returned to your shop in a state of defeat and disappointment.

The renovations did come to an end eventually, and it wasn't long before more people began to frequent the coastal street. Your business steadily regained its usual customer numbers and even started making slight extra profit—likely from the people who bought flowers for their loved ones at the clinic. You had seen a lot of new faces around, after all, and perhaps you had cursed whoever had been in charge of the renovations next door a little too harshly.

On a sunny afternoon, his arrival announced by the bell over the door, one of those new faces entered your shop. He was a tall, fashionable man with admittedly handsome features, and so you had to make a point not to stare for too long.

"Welcome," you greeted from where you were adjusting an array of peonys. You knew some customers preferred to look around at first and weigh the options of their purchase before approaching you, so you thought of letting him be. However, to your surprise, this solemn man spoke to you immediately.

"Good afternoon," he said, walking up to you, and you quickly stood from the floor to regard him. "I am Doctor Zayne. My clinic opened here a month ago."

Your eyes widened just the slightest. So it was him. He was the guy responsible for that whole havoc, for not informing you of his grand constructions before your vases were falling off the shelves.

You put on your most polite smile. "Oh, I'm Misa. I own this flower shop," you say and mentally dig yourself into a hole for sounding more pointed than you intended to, but Doctor Zayne wasn't put off. Instead, there was a hint of a smile at the corner of his lips.

Embarrassed, you tried to cover up you mishap and continued: "It's great to have another healthcare service in the city. Perhaps you are looking to decorate it?"

"No," Doctor Zayne said bluntly. "Healthcare services must take account the needs of their patients, that includes those with pollen allergies."

"I see." You tried to find the method in his logic. "But you're still located next to a flower shop?"

"The sea breeze will be enough to carry the pollen away."

You paused for an awkward second, looking around your shop. "Well, if blossoms are out of the question, I can introduce you to some indoor plants. They are very safe for children," you suggested, gesturing to some of your newly arrived Chinese evergreens. "We also have a small collection of handmade ribbon flowers."

Doctor Zayne politely refused. "No, thank you. That isn't what I came here for today."

Your smile wavered. What did he want then? There was no way this handsome doctor came to your shop just to apologise to you, much less make small-talk.

"I am looking for a bouquet for someone," he continued, and your heart sank at the disappointing but predictable outcome.

Still, you nodded and lead him to the flooral cooler where vases upon vases of different flowers sat arranged beautifully. As a minute passed, Zayne continued to look over his options silently. Having noticed he was glancing over at you every now and then, you were just about to ask if he had anything in mind when he finally spoke up.

"Those jasmines," he said decisively. "And some lilies of the valley."

With practiced hands, you collected the choices and arranged them into a neat bouquet. The result reminded you of a wedding bouquet, both of these flowers being very popular with brides as of late. Was he going to a wedding? Or maybe he had a special someone...

When you showed the doctor the arrangement you came up with, he hummed in thought. "I do not have much of an eye for aesthetics," he admitted and his hazel eyes flicked over to you. "What do you think?"

You thought for a second, the sweet fragrance of the flowers wafting in the air. To be honest, your throat burned with slight jealousy. You wished someone would gift you flowers like these, chosen with so much care and effort. "I can't speak for the person you're giving them to," you told him, a sincere smile gracing your features, "but if I received these, it would more than make my day."

He seemed pleased with that although you weren't sure why his eyes lingered on you for so long. "Then that is what I will go with."

After you had made the final adjustments and he paid for the bouquet, you were surprised to see him not turning to leave. He was certainly a strange one. "Is there anything else I can help you with?" you asked hesitantly.

Again, to your surprise, Zayne nodded. "Could you come look at this?"

Worried about the quality of your work, you hurried out from behind the cash register and were about to inquire about the problem when Zayne presented the bouquet to you in a gentlemanly fashion, bowing to you as he held it out. His eyes did not leave yours even as you stood there stumped, and for the first time you noticed their soft gaze, the hazel hue of them were both the sunlit branches and the moss that clothed an old oak tree.

"For you."

The heavy beating of your heart almost distracted you from his words. You looked up at Zayne for an explanation but he did not budge so you hesitantly took the gift into your arms.

"I would like to extend my apologies to you," Zayne went on. "I heard from the workers that the construction of the clinic affected your business negatively."

That was correct, but you couldn't bring yourself to agree with him, not anymore when he was acknowledging it so sincerely. It would make you seem arrogant. "It's nothing really," you said nervously. "You don't need to go to such lengths..."

Zayne shook his head softly and insisted, "No, this is nothing compared to the trouble you faced." He watched intently as you modestly bended into accepting his gesture.

You took a deep breath, startled both by his courtesy and the surreality of the situation—it was straight from a romantic fantasy: from the flowers to the gentle way he was gazing at you. It made something inside you long for more.

"Well..." You chuckled, your face warm. "Thank you. I never imagined I would prepare a bouquet for myself."

At this, Zayne nodded in understanding. "It must certainly feel out of the ordinary but I wanted to contribute to your shop as well."

Your heart fluttered at the realisatsion. "Oh, that's very kind of you."

"There is of course a second reason for these flowers too."

"What is that?" you asked, curious how else this man could surprise you, but Zayne then glanced over at the clock on the wall.

"Apologies, my lunch break is about to end so I need to return to my work. It was a pleasure meeting you, Misa." He bowed his head to you once more. The hint of a warm smile remained on his lips as your eyes met for one final time. "I look forward to us working side-by-side."

"A-Ah, yes, likewise... Zayne." You hugged the jasmines and lilies close to your chest, watching the doctor take his leave.

The bell above the old door chimed once again, leaving you alone in your shop. Although the room was now more empty than a minute ago, your soul felt strangely full. You decided to finally drop your one-sided grudge against the faceless owner of the clinic next-door and look forward to getting to know the stoic but gentle doctor by the name of Zayne.

...

..

.

Little to your knowledge for the time being, this tender feeling was mutual. Beautiful as a jasmine and gentle as a lily of the valley, you had caught the eye of this seemingly somber man.

Making me arrange my own bouquet just to mess with me is something he would do 😭😭

Thank goodness the hospital is right at the corner cause I need to be admitted after the heart attack I received from this glorious masterpiece 💕💕 (and Zayne-)

Thank you so much I'll treasure it forever 🥹🥹

Finally able to use this

Warning: You're going for a checkup after a long time, what does Zayne have to say?

Going to the doctor for your regular check ups was something you were used to, but right now, it was something you dreaded. You haven't been to the doctor for a while because of all the missions you took so here you were, sitting nervously in front of the doctor's office with your reports in your hands. You knew that the reports didn't find anything bad, but knowing your Doctor who is also your boyfriend, you could only hope he'd go easy on you with his scolding. You watched a patient walking out of his office and stood up from your seat, saying your last silent prayer before entering his office.

As you entered, you watched him typing on his laptop, his glasses perfectly sitting on his nose and his usual stern expression. Your heart fluttered at his sight after not seeing him for a while but you snapped back when he glanced at you briefly. "Look who decided to show up." He uttered while keeping his gaze on his laptop. Even though his voice was calm, you could tell that he was anything but that. "And here I thought that this wasn't of importance to you." He continued when you didn't say anything. He looked up at you and held his hand out to take your reports. You silently handed them over and watched him. You weren't sure what to say or how to respond because he seemed awfully calm when you expected him to scold you. Instead he just silently looked over your report and signed them. "Go sit on the bed so I can examine you." He said and stood up, walking towards it. You did as told and sat on the bed, looking at him and smiling awkwardly, hoping that this could ease the awkward tension you felt. He only looked at you with his usual emotionless expression, putting on his stethoscope. "Take deep breaths." He instructed and put the stethoscope against your chest, listening to your heartbeat quietly. You examined his face, taking in all of his facial features, from his sharp eyes to his soft lips, his pale skin and sharp features. "Y/n?" He asked, making you snap back. You looked at him puzzled and asked, "sorry, what was that?" He sighed and put the stethoscope down and leaned his face closer to yours. "I asked if you felt anything unusual lately. Tiredness, fatigue or any sort of pain perhaps?" He asked again and kept his eyes locked with yours. You were caught off guard by the way he leaned closer to you. Taking a breath to calm yourself, you answered,  "No, not that I'd notice." You replied and looked back into his eyes. He stared at you quietly, making you wonder why when he leaned towards your ear. "Then what's making you so distracted?" He whispered, his breath hitting your ear, making you feel hot. You blushed and leaned back slightly to keep some distance. "Nothing." You replied and shifted a bit to sit more comfortably. Was he really not angry at you? You kept wondering but decided to just leave it at that, considering it a blessing. "Sorry, I was just thinking of something. But I'll focus now." You told him and shifted a little to sit comfortably. Zayne didn't say anything and nodded silently after a moment, putting on the stethoscope again. "Now, focus and take deep, slow breaths." He instructed and placed the drum against my chest again. You did as told and took a deep inhale.

You close your eyes in the process to help you stay focused. You continued to focus on your breathing when you felt soft lips against yours. Your breath hitched as you realized that Zayne kissed you and tried to pull away only for him to keep you in place by holding the back of your head. "What are you doing-?" You tried to ask but he didn't reply and pulled you back again. "Your heart is racing.." He  whispered in between the kiss and nipped at your lower lip, causing you to gasp which he took advantage of to deepen the kiss. As the kiss continued, you felt the drum pressing against your chest again. Zayne pulled away after a moment to let you catch your breath. You leaned against his chest, panting and blushing,  wondering and confused at the sudden behaviour he was displaying. He lets you lean against him, gently caressing your back to help you calm down. When you were calm enough, he let go of you and started writing something down. "What was that for?" You finally asked, your brows furrowed. He only shrugged but you could swear you saw him smirking before he turned around. "I was just measuring your heartbeat." He replied as he sat back in front of his desk, typing at his laptop. "Your heartbeat was unusually high. I suggest you come again for another checkup. " He continued as glanced at me over his glasses. "We wouldn't want any inconvenience again, do we?"

Please to meet our girl:

Lazy morning with Jude

Words: 597

Tags: scenario; fluffy; no pronouns specified; established relationship.

Notes: I did my best to make Jude sound like Jude, HAIUSEHASU. I hope this brightens your night, @judejazza! 🤍

In the first few weeks of the relationship, it was weird for you to wake up in the morning to an empty bed and his side already cold. You wouldn’t deny it made you feel strange, and sometimes you wondered if you were disrupting his routine, or if he really wanted you there.

Jude could be rough and sadistic, but he was never a liar. If he said your company was something he enjoyed, even if he didn’t sleep that much anyway, then you knew better than to doubt his word. That and his actions, which always spoke louder.

For you @chevcore (why is ikevil stuff coming up-)

The way everyone else is just letting the butterfly do its thing

And then there's Jude

Idk if you've already seen this but here, for you @chevcore
