[Haikyuu!!] Eternal Enticement Eloquent

===========

Nishinoya's Point of View

Work, eat, sleep.

Work again, then eat, then sleep.

I know, I said that getting used to something is good--great even.

But to be honest, having the same schedule day after day became tiring.

Not that the predictability didn’t offer a vague sort of comfort, but it was monotonous.

It was boring.

There was nothing exciting happening on the sidelines to give me a much-needed distraction.

No one's inviting me to any parties.

Not that I would go to those parties though.

Paris is boring.

People are all lovey-dovey.

And there was no chaos here.

Unlike in Japan.

Ugh.

I'm so bored.

And what if something did distract me…?

Is this a sign that I should find a new lover?

Maybe I should try?

Wait, is that even what I should be thinking right now?

Today is Wednesday so I'm at the flowershop.

The boss, Mrs. Aira is out today.

She said she feels nauseous so she took the day off.

Since it's Wednesday, I expected no one to come but, oh well.

The door chimed as a customer entered the shop.

Yuu

Bienvenu~ (Welcome~)

A man of his late 20s came.

He's tall, wearing a black polo and casual pants.

He nodded and smiled before he explored the store.

He was walking, looking at the different flowers, wondering which one he should take.

It took him few minutes before he came unto me.

Yuu

Bonjour! (Good morning!)

Yuu

Comment puis-je vous aider? (How may I help you?)

He stared at me before he spoke.

Ethan

I-I want to buy flowers for the girl I like.

Oh! English?

So he's not from here hmm.

I smiled before I dropped my French f*ckery.

Yuu

Have you thought of something in particular?

Ethan

I just need flowers that will show how much I love her.

Aww.

Yuu

Okay, let's see what we have.

It's kinda amazing though.

Before, people just thoughtlessly give flowers.

And while working here, I learned the different meanings of the flowers--

--that every bloom symbolizes something.

Yuu

How about Forget-me-not which can mean 'true love'?

Yuu

Or you could have some red Tulip which means 'perfect love' and oh, it complements with Jasmine.

Ethan

What is the symbolism of the Jasmine?

Yuu

Unconditional or eternal love.

I looked at him and he blushed.

Maybe he's not ready to say something that heavy?

Yuu

If that's too much, you can have some simple ones.

Yuu

Jonquil usually means that the affection is returned and the purple lilac symbolizes the beginning of love.

I pointed the yellow daffodils and the purple lilac from the pots.

Yuu

We could add some white camellia that means 'you’re adorable'.

Ethan

Not too sure about the yellow flowers...

Ethan

But this one seems nice.

He pondered, pointing at the blue flowers.

Yuu

Oh, those ones would be perfect too!

Yuu

They are blue salvias and they mean 'I think of you.'

I said with a smile.

Ethan

Okay, so I will take the purple lilac, the white camellia and the blue salvias.

He said, smiling back, seemingly happy with his choice.

Yuu

Do you want it delivered?

Ethan

Oh no, I will give it myself, I’m meeting her later.

Yuu

No problem, just wait a moment, I will prepare the bouquet!

What a lucky girl.

Ethan

Wait, do you think those are too much?

Ethan

I-I mean, she might not even know the meaning of them...

Ethan

And what if she rejects me?

What? Who dares to reject this guy?

Yuu

I'm sorry sir, we don't accept refunds.

Yuu

I won't accept the wilted flowers.

He laughed at my joke.

Yuu

Don't worry too much about it sir. She will surely love this.

I smiled at him before finishing the ribbon tie of the bouquet.

Isn't it fascinating?

Every flower has their own meaning.

And even the way that the ribbon is tied has a meaning!

Ugh. People and their kinks.

But maybe this is one of the things that I have liked here in Paris.

I gave him the bouquet with a smile and a thank you.

I hope it goes well for him.

He nodded and made his way out after paying.

Now that I think about it, I need to check if I got the plane ticket.

I fished out my phone from my pocket and checked my emails.

O goodie. I got it.

Kageyama and Shoyo's wedding will be in three weeks so I'll be going back.

A year felt like a decade though.

I wonder how everyone is doing now?

I bet they'll be so hyped to see me.

I wonder....

I wonder... how Asahi-san is doing...
