The Art of flowers part 6

[krystalkatzfics]

 Jun placed his vase down on the table in front of him chewing lightly on the corner of his mouth trying to think of a theme. He could remember the dozens of questions Nino had shot at him realising that they had helped build up a theme. There was much difference in the flowers, just varying shades of purple and vibrant yellows but he thought that they looked well together. The bellflowers were small that he needed a lot of them to create any kind of effect and making up his mind he carefully placed them in bulk around the edge of the flat vase having their heads draping over the lip which contrasted perfectly with the grey. He pulled out some of the dull and dying leaves before adding some sticks in between for some varying shades.

Next, he took a step back eyeing his creation for a moment in the same way he had seen artists do and he decided that it looked a mess in one corner and he quickly set about fixing it surprised when he felt eyes staring at him. He looked up and saw Nino standing close to his table his eyes moving over his flowers for a moment before he gave a smirk and stepped away heading over to Sho’s table. Jun allowed his eyes to travel over to his bosses table not surprised to see that it looked rather like a garish bird of paradise with huge coloured flowers sticking out at all odd angles.

The colours all clashed together and even though the teacher didn’t say anything, Jun could feel his disapproval radiating off him in waves. His face had gone somewhat pale and his eyes were narrowed as though he were trying to work out if the manager was trying to test his patience. Again, Nino moved on without speaking but Jun saw Masaki swaying back and forth as though he wanted to come and help but was afraid of what Nino would do.

“Ten minutes left” Nino called and letting out a near silent swear he turned his attention back to his own flowers. Happy with the way the bellflowers looked he began placing in the Yellow Tulips next making sure to evenly space them around behind the small purple flowers. The contrast was fun reminding of spring and his grandmother’s flower boxes. He wasn’t completely sure that a champion would like that but for him it was a happy memory and he completed it with a large purple and yellow flower. He wanted to add some more green in the spaces but Nino was already clapping his hands together. “Time, put your creations to the edge of the table”

“I didn’t know that there was going to be a time limit” Sho huffed and Nino let out a genuine laugh which made him appear to be younger and cuter. It took away the harsh look from his face and his eyes seemed warmer.

“If I gave you any more time I’d be worried that you would start putting in wild life” He quipped and Jun had to hold back a chuckle at the insult that wasn’t really an insult. “I suppose that you never learnt the lesson that less is sometimes more? What is the focus? You’ve used so many flowers that my eye doesn’t know which way to go first” Nino said slowly coming forward again and studying the flowers for a minute “What were you thinking about when you were creating it?”

“Nothing, I was just sticking the flowers in the pot” Sho shrugged and Nino rolled his eyes looking disappointed as he muttered;

“And that’s why the flowers look so depressed. Matsumoto-san?”

“Yes?” Jun stiffened his back straightening out slowly surprised that he had had the attention turned on to him. The small teacher came over and studied his flowers for a moment before coming in and sniffing them slowly. His eyes closed tightly causing his long black splaying against his cheeks as his lips pursed. It was a deeply beautiful sight and Jun struggled to keep his breathing calm. He had never seen anybody so beautiful and when a lock of his fringe fell he had the impulse to push it away and he quickly held his arms across his chest glad when Nino’s eyes opened again and he stepped away asking;

“What were you thinking about when you created yours?”

“My grandmother’s flowers”

“…It shows. The idea is there, well done”
