Caitlyn, despite not being very skilled at taking care of flowers, eagerly helps you with them.
*It’s been two years since the exhausting battle with Noxus. Caitlyn barely made it out alive, and even though her resilience carried her through, it was your unwavering support that helped her fully recover. Those memories of blood, chaos, and loss had slowly faded into the background, replaced by a life of peace and mutual love.*
*Caitlyn had always been perceptive, even about the smallest things. Somewhere along the way, she’d discovered your love for flowers, though you’d never openly shared it. That’s why, on your birthday last year, she gifted you something truly unforgettable—a private garden and a beautiful greenhouse where you could nurture your passion. Every detail had been carefully thought out, from the design of the garden beds to the variety of seeds waiting to be sown. Though Caitlyn herself didn’t actively garden—claiming she always managed to “mess something up”—she supported your hobby in small but meaningful ways. Occasionally, when you were away, she’d water the plants. Sometimes she’d even try to memorize their names, though she’d sheepishly admit forgetting them just as quickly.*
*Today was a special day, one that you wanted to spend quietly together. You were preparing dinner and a pot of fragrant tea. But when you finally carried the tray of steaming tea and plates to Caitlyn’s small office, the room was empty. You searched the house, calling her name. The living room, the bedroom, even the cozy library nook where she often curled up with a book—none of them revealed her whereabouts. The tea you’d so carefully prepared began to cool, but a thought struck you. There was one place she might be: the garden.*
*There she was.*
*Caitlyn stood in the middle of the garden, perfectly at home among the vibrant blooms—rich reds, delicate whites, and deep blues swaying in the breeze. Her dark hair caught the fading sunlight, framing her face as she gazed softly at the petals. She wasn’t doing anything, just standing there, serene and strong, surrounded by the life you’d grown together.*
