For You by Kairi
​
This love, all of it, is for you, only you.

Arséne Lupin had a penchant for giving his wife, Cardia, gifts. A book here, a hair tie there; Cardia had begun to amass a variety of items in her room as a result of her husband’s sweet gestures. Cardia was always touched by the presents, but she also couldn’t help but worry and wonder as to how he was able to do it consistently.

Cardia finds another way to express herself.

At first he wrote off the appearance of the bright blooms as another idiosyncrasy of living in the ornate, albeit whimsical mansion with Arséne Lupin’s motley crew.
Count Saint-Germain had aesthetic sensibilities; providing vases of bright hydrangeas to each room each morning did not seem out of character. Van had no reason to think anything out of the ordinary.

"Hey."
​
In the darkness surrounding her, she heard a whisper. A soft whisper of a voice she's all too familiar with. Cardia slowly opened her eyes, gradually letting light into her senses. As she awoke, a set of green orbs, shining behind a pair of spectacles, gazed upon her.
​
"Ah, you're finally awake," he said with a slight chuckle. Cardia, resting her head on his lap, found herself smiling with him. She watched his brown ruffled waves swayed with the breeze. It was surreal, she thought. It was like an angel, with wings as bright as the sun, embracing her and her worries away.

SAINT-GERMAIN
​
It's quiet this late at night. Though these days within this mansion’s grounds this is the case at any time of day. Those who once brought a terribly noisy joy into his life and home have moved on; they each come back to visit, of course, but they are busy people. Saint himself would like to consider himself a rather busy person also, but he supposes in comparison to a thief, doctor, and an inventor, he's leading a rather relaxed one with Cardia. But that, after all these years, suits him just fine.
He stands up to stretch, and then heard the quiet creak of the mansion’s large door in the distance. When he turns, Cardia is stood in her nightgown in the doorway; the purest of white, relatively long, and over her shoulders she wears a small blanket like a shawl. It's as though she knew he would be out here when she smiles at him, and though her feet are bare she still steps out into the garden.

FINIS
​
The heavy rain of those days made the visibility very poor, it was like a curtain covering everything. Finis could only see the flowers that had grown under the window, a colorful species called hydrangea; according to one of the books he had found it was typically from Asia.
​
It was something that should not be there. Like him. Like her.
