Flowers

Colonello held out a bunch of red roses.

Lal's face was almost as red as the roses.

"Happy Birthday Lal! Kora!" Colonello smiled.

Lal's blushed increased in intensity and she shouted "Who will give roses on somebody's birthday! Idiot!"

Colonello merely laughed and hugged Lal. "Still so shy... kora."

Lal can only blush even more. It is this side of Colonello that she was never able to get over. It always made her weak in the knees and she often found herself unable to deny him anything.

Lal buried her face deeper into Colonello's shirt and murmured something that sounded like "Idiot."

Colonello merely laughed and held her closer. After all today was a special day for them both. It is Lal's birthday no doubt but Colonello had bought her roses to remind her of their engagement. Smiling, Colonello kissed Lal on the forehead and the lovebirds remained in the embrace for a long long time.
