    Summary

    --"Daffodils are often used to symbolize the pain of unrequited love, affections unreturned. And yet, they may sometimes be reformed, blooming for fresh beginnings & a love anew."
    _____

    Once, Varka believed he had found the love of his life; the one he would settle with eternally and raise a daughter with. The dream he once lived shatters to the ground when she leaves with nothing but divorce documents in her wake.
    (Or; au where Varka is a single dad, and Flins is a teacher. ;3)

    Summary

    Finally, Wriothesley said, “It’s loud, today.”

    He meant the sky. He meant the sorrow. He meant you.

    Neuvillette tilted his head. “It is.”

    Wriothesley wanted to ask what had made it so, but something in Neuvillette’s posture told him not to. Not yet. Instead, he tried something else. Something foolish. Something tender.

    “…Do you think you could teach me how to speak to it?”

    Neuvillette turned to look at him fully now. Wriothesley met his eyes without flinching.

    “You wish to learn to speak to the rain?”

    Wriothesley nodded, sheepish. “You always seem to know what it’s saying. I figure… maybe I should try to listen too.”

    Neuvillette regarded him in that impossible way of his, like he was not just observing, but witnessing. As if Wriothesley’s soul had poked out from beneath his skin and Neuvillette had caught it, cradled it, questioned it. It made his stomach twist, made his fingers clench, made something fragile rattle in his throat.

    Or, two men learn to speak a language made of silence and rain.

    Summary

    The kiss deepens almost on instinct, with Varka sliding his free hand up to the nape of Flins' neck, pulling him closer, tasting the faint trace of tea and honey on his lips. He feels himself sinking, melting, until even the firehouse, the smoke, the ache in his shoulders all dissolve into nothing. Just him and Flins, and the steady purr of a tiny gray ally against his stomach.

    And then—

    Whap.

    Something bats into his hair.

    Varka startles, jerks back just enough to see Sol standing on the back of the couch, tail swishing and paw already raised for another swipe. He sees the warning for what it is. Eclipse makes her appearance, by mewling at Flins' feet, urging for his attention. And there goes the moment.

    "Fuck," He groans in despair, lips still tingling from Flins' kiss. "The calvary is here."

    //or, flins' cats hate varka and after cock blocking them one too many times, a plan to win them over is made
