WHITE CARNATIONS ─ NIHACHU ✔

05. flowers

a few weeks had gone by since niki's love or host, and hermione was finally visiting the german girl again. since last time, though, niki's flowers had unfortunately wilted, incentivising hermione to buy her another bouquet.

and thats why a bouquet of white carnations were shoved in niki's face when she opened her door.

"hiya niki! do you want to go on another date with me?" the blonde girl asked her german friend.

"yeah! i'd love to, hermione!"

"alright! come with me then!" hermione responded, dragging niki out of her house, to the other girl's surprise; hermione's hair flying elegantly in the wind as she turned back to view niki following her, their hands still clasped together.

"you're going to love it, niki!"

"hermione, this is beautiful!" niki gasped, her eyes gazing upon the picnic blanket laying in the field of flowers.

"i thought i'd recreate our minecraft date here, except this time, there isn't schlatt, wilbur or tommy!" hermione giggled, reminiscing over their minecraft date together.

"thank you so much!"

"it's no problem, it's the least i could do after running out on your love or host, sorry about that again." hermione smiled sheepishly, she still felt guilty, even though niki had said it was completely fine each time the blonde girl apologised.

"what do i keep telling you, hermione, its completely fine, don't worry!" niki giggled, pulling hermione into a hug that lasted so much longer than either girl expected, but neither wanted to let go.

unfortunately, niki was the first one to let go, leaving hermione to awkwardly gesture to the blanket and pull niki down to sit.

"hey, niki, want to have a grape catching match?" hermione asked as she threw a grape into her mouth.

"bet."

screams of laughter soon ensued from the two girls as they threw the fruit into each other's mouths, both of them missing frequently; the grapes hitting other body parts as they giggled uncontrollably. it really was a time for the two to be happy together, and nothing could take that away.

the two girls sat on the blanket together as they stared up at the night sky, constellations of stars illuminating the darkness, hermione pointing out each one she recognised from her position in between niki's legs, her head lying on the german girl's stomach with niki's arms wrapped around the blonde girl's smaller frame.

the food was long forgotten as they basked in each other's presence, though the majority of it having already been eaten.

the surrounding area was peaceful and silent, something the two girls appreciated, having spent a lot of their time with loud children or adults.

but, it was so silent, that hermione could hear her own heart beating rapidly in her chest as she lay in niki's arms.

why did she enjoy being in the german girl's arms?

why did she always receive a sense of comfort from niki?

why was she feeling this way for her friend, who most certainly didn't like her back?

at least, was it this way that she was feeling for niki?

or was it something else? just friendship, perhaps?

all were questions that were likely to go unanswered any time soon, besides, why would someone as beautiful as niki like someone like hermione? that thought alone was preposterous.

but something deep inside hermione told her that this wasn't the case, though she dismissed the feeling, and just enjoyed her time with niki, for hermione wouldn't know whether she would be able to again.

"white carnations?"

"yeah! they symbolise good luck!"

"and pure love,"

"i guess my love for you is pure too!"
