White Roses
-white has always been a symbol of purity, innocence and in some cases, chastity, and for roses, it is no exception. For that reason, white roses are often given at weddings and other ceremonial occasions like christenings and graduations.
However, white roses can also be given as a sign of respect or remembrance. It is a way to say "I'm thinking of you", making them the appropriate choice to send someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one

You have never really thought about flowers, roses being the ones you typically avoided during your younger days. To you, it was like any typical flower, it was meant to be romantic and alluring. Which you didn't mind, really it was such a shallow reason for you to have mixed feelings about it. Who knows, maybe it was because you were envious to those who got to experience the complexity of its meanings. But like I said, who knows
Maybe your first love knows.
After meeting your first love, you suddenly wanted to know everything about romantic topics, suddenly reading and watching endless love stories you came across with, suddenly it was like breathing fresh summer air with all those darned flowers you've always avoided.
White roses being the only flowers the stood out the most during your love sickness.
Oh who are we kidding, of course it would stand out. He was the first to give it to you after all.
You remember the memory being as clear as the skies in your head everytime you thought of him.
It was high school graduation and the bittersweet was settling in at the last moment, where you had met up with Sakyo. Right about now you would probably ask for his uniform's third button, the one closest to his heart as a form of asking him out however you wouldn't be stalling right now if he wore his uniform in the first place.
Words were being delayed to say and before you knew it a fresh scent has made its way into your nostrils. Paying more attention to what was currently happening, a white rose was extended to your arm's length.
Looking up at him and back down to his hand with the delicate flower in clutch, you smiled, which made him smile too.
You took the rose in your hand and brought it up to your face, submerging yourself for a couple of second to it's smell.
After saying a shy thank you with both your faces blushing, he came to extend his hand out once again, this time hurriedly and frantic almost like he was scared to forget about it.
Looking at him with confused eyes, he grabbed your hand and slapped down an envelope on it before he leapt away after hearing an alarm from his phone.
Saddened that you're now left by yourself, you opened the envelope to see a smaller white rose and a traditional calligraphy congratulating you on your graduation
Time truly felt too soon and you didn't see him after that.

Months passed and you're now in college, studying a degree you had wanted despite the hardships that came with it. You were happy to say the least, a little empty of course, but delighted to at least be where you are now
After a year of loneliness eversince your graduation back in high school, you finally met him again, more like saw him. Not knowing when you'll ever get another chance like this you sprinted out for him, and asked him out.
Straight forward? Yes, definitely and out of the blue but you're sure that you would rather handle rejection than regret
Surprisingly though, he said yes. He was already cursing at himself for saying so as his work was still dangerous no matter how low-key it may be now, but from whatever fighting spirit he had in his body he gave you his number and you gave him yours
Your smile is always worth it, no matter the things I would have to go through just to keep it on your face.
You guys had already scheduled a date before your next class had even started. You truly couldn't wait until this weekend
-ˋˏ ༻𑁍༺ ˎˊ-
Clutching your shoulder bag's straps as you walked stiffly across the roads, your mind couldn't help but wander how much Sakyo had changed. You already saw how he was now all tall and more muscular, but his tsundere-ness never leaving him. You know cause you experienced these things first hand and now you're about to experience it all over again.
Seeing him standing as stiffly as your walking, you giggled, the nerves now out of your system as you knew you had nothing to worry about. This was Sakyo after all, your first love
Calling out to him grinning from ear to ear, you said hello, like how all typical conversations start. Giving you a soft smile, he extended his hand once again holding once again a white rose just like from last time
Of course now that you're obsessed with the flower, you had known of its true meaning, some being good, some being bad but you liked it either way, so seeing him a bit out of his character trying to explain why he got you a white flower despite not asking for a marriage, nor a funeral of some sorts, you, of course couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I've always like white roses, Sakyo-san, knowing the meaning or not, I just do, you gave it a new meaning for me" You giggled, getting shy and getting your laughter on control and him starting to crack up a little smile on there
It was nice to see that you both had become comfortable with eachother with just talking and some cups of coffee accompanying the scene
But just like before, time was quick to catch up and now it was time to go home. Of course before you beat him to it, you had asked him out another time, no specific place or time but more like a confirmation that you both will meet again
-ˋˏ ༻𑁍༺ ˎˊ-
And again you met up, quite soon actually. Somewhere that contradicted the first date you both went on but the white rose still being present.
It was truly fun, you wouldn't lie even if you had to die for it because it was the truth.
With Sakyo, time felt fast, it was like the two of you were the only one that existed along with the white roses that he had always given you
One after another, despite hanging out with each other multiple times now, label it be as a date or not, a white rose was accompanying you throughout of it all.
And with almost your sixth month of dating, you had decided that you would make it official on the monthsary the next date. To be called as his, and him yours, it felt like a dream but it already happened and now he was the one the beat you to it
Carrying a bouquet of white roses that were beside irrelevant pinks and red ones, he picked you up and both of you decided to ditch whatever adventure you would be going to and just huddle up on the couch and watch movies. He also saw every white rose he had given you trying to fight for their lives on a vase that matched them all perfectly as you set up. He was right to move before you, or else he wouldn't have fallen this much deeper down this rabbit hole you call love
-ˋˏ ༻𑁍༺ ˎˊ-
Of course though, staying in pattern with all those things you both have done, time flew quick and now you're engaged to him, a few years after you guys made it official, as the old kept uniform button was given to you with a ring that he tried to give you years ago.
A new bouquet of white roses were also replacing itself on the countertop that you both share, in a home where you and him worked really hard for.
And yet the wedding was only a few weeks away but it has already felt like you both were married this entire time, the only things changing were your surname as well the documents that is to make everything official.
But of course being with Sakyo this for long meant that you now have the jist of his job. Only after he had tried to end things with you when things became a bit more dangerous than usual in his job. Of course you didn't let it end and after the all emotional mess you both got yourselves into, you now babysit the so called "little shit" he had been taking care of for a while now.
So that's why he'd cancel plans, and especially on weekends too
You, of course, got upset at Sakyo for not saying something sooner, not only because you grew fond of the cute boy but also started unnecessary fights with him from not knowing where he could be at certain times. You had times where you not only doubted Sakyo but also yourself and the relationship itself. It was a mental shit hole of being depressed with you desperately needing him at times and contradictory thoughts of maybe you were being selfish that led to thoughts of you maybe not being good enough.
But since those problems have been fixed now as well as the fact that you know of Azami now, Sakyo has no choice but to let this child join almost every single plan you guys make. Sakoda being the best wingman of sorts by taking him off both your hands to get a much needed alone time with each other
Time was fast as it always have been with him because before you knew it, it was time for the wedding
-ˋˏ ༻𑁍༺ ˎˊ-
With some of your family and friends beside you as you take photos before the ceremony, you of course couldn't help but have doubt, not at anyone but yourself.
Is marrying me really Sakyo's best decision? We've already been dating for who knows how long but getting wed is a different topic
But before you could even go deeper with thoughts that flooded your mind with endless negativity, Sakyo said your name. He said it with so much love and sincerity your thoughts vanished, even the good ones because he just had that understanding of you. Sakyo knew how bad your thoughts can get and he made it his living mission to not let you get affected or even think about thinking about those topics in the first place.
Maybe marriage was far too late in the underlying surface of your love with each other. And maybe this ceremony was just another proof that you both really don't need and yet crave so much for
"I do"
Signing the papers and sharing a chaste kiss, you didn't let anything falter for too long as you know him too well to not be a fan of PDA.
Time was slow now, or maybe it was so fast that it became like that to your eyes but nonetheless who cares.
Stumbling around the keys as you desperately try to open the door, your bridal bouquet of white roses hanging off your wrist. You were determined to not let the honeymoon phase fade before you even get to enjoy it, and so Sakyo held your hand, instantly calming you down and began to help you with it, with a big ass smirk on his face.
Who are we kidding, the honeymoon phase won't fade unless you let it
But that doesn't mean you're still not fighting the heat of the moment as you and your now husband gets engulfed in the new life of now being a married couple
-ˋˏ ༻𑁍༺ ˎˊ-
A fresh bouquet of white roses again in his hand as it always have been, he walks towards you with a pained smile. He tried to hold in his tears as he pulled himself together and made sure he went to you first before having a breakdown.
Reminiscing of the old times, well not so old for the other ones, a tear finally crept down his cheek, ever so slowly and painfully as the seconds passed that was only followed by another until his eyes get dried up before getting forced to leave once again from a grave that has your name engraved onto its hard surface
Alas, white truly was fitting for a person like you. Someone that balanced off his character that only made him stand out in the best ways possible. And again, as unfortunate as it was, white roses have gained their original meaning.
And again, time seemed to move fast with the both of you in-love, only now, you were a bit too ahead and unfortunately left him alone now. All he could do was go at a pace he had always have and wait patiently for you to be hopefully back in his arms.
