PROMPT: TEAM FIRE EMBLEM

"The meanings ascribed to it [Acacia] in Japan, such as friendship and elegance, make these flowers an ideal gift for a good friend. Do let it be known though: in English lore, they are ascribed with the symbolism of secret love!" - [hanakotoba]

"Even I have to admit, there's something glorious about falling in love with one of your best friends." - Lacie Waldon

FILL: TEAM ACE ATTORNEY

Ship: Gina Lestrade/Susato Mikotoba

---

Gina doesn’t look her in the eye when she shoves the bouquet in Susato’s direction. “Hey Sooze. Uh, nice to see ya again, innit?”

“It’s lovely to see you too, Gina!” Susato gasps in delight. “Oh! Are these flowers… for me?”

“Yeah,” Gina says, still not looking at her. She looks quite flushed… oh dear, maybe Susato should look into getting her some sunblock, it must be such an adjustment sailing from London to Japan for the first time. Though Susato won’t deny that the pinkness in her cheeks is truly adorable. “They’re, uh. Acacias. Iris told me to give some flowers to ya, and I, uh, thought the meanin’ was nice. I guess.”

Acacias… Susato’s eyes widen. Friendship, elegance. Oh, Gina really is so sweet! Susato isn’t sure she deserves such a good gift; she’s never properly apologized to Gina for that tirade she went on while Gina was in the gaol. But all the same, she hugs the bouquet to her chest. “Thank you so much, Gina! I’ll treasure them for as long as they or I live!”

Gina’s eyes widen. “Wait, so you… Do ya… Feel the same way?”

Susato blinks. “Of course I do! I consider you one of my closest friends.” And, well, perhaps a little non-platonic attraction in there too, but surely she doesn’t need to burden Gina with that knowledge.

“Oh.” Does Gina look… disappointed? But she tilts her hat down, and Susato can’t see her eyes anymore. “‘Kay. Well. Um. I’ve got to go iron Toby, see ya!”

Susato watches her run off, bemused.

“Oh, silly Ginebean, she doesn’t hate you!”)
