I'll Build You a Heart [Ferris/Cal]

[phantasmalunar]

"Would ya like ta see meh gard'n after this?" Ferris asked.

[ode]

Cal nodded, feeling like he was being let in on a secret. "I'd love to."

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris nodded and continued to eat his soup.

[ode]

Cal bit his lip as he watched the man eat, he had never felt this way about anyone or anything. Almost not of his own accord, Cal's hand began to slide across the table, his fingertips brushing Ferris'.

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris' head popped up to look at the fingers brushing his. He studied them for a minute and got the meaning, reaching out and entwining their hands.

[ode]

Cal gasped, his eyes wide as a feeling of wholeness overcame hiim and then shock. He hadn't been sure what he was seeking when he put his hand up on that table but... "W-w," he cleared his throat and still the words wouldn't come out.

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris grinned a bit awkwardly at Cal.

[ode]

"Does this... does this mean what i think it does?" he asked dumbly, his hand unconsciously gripping Ferris' tighter.

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris just shrugged before standing up, pulling Cal up with him. "Come."

[ode]

Cal gripped the man's hand tightly and followed him.

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris led Cal to his garden where all his exotic flower bloomed in between and through metal sculptures and waterways of gold, copper, and silver.

[ode]

"Stars... This is amazing," he breathed, findign one particularly walkway simply enchanting. "it's like a fairytale."

[phantasmalunar]

Ferris kept their hands togehter as they walked. "Glad you like it."

[ode]

Cal stretched his hand out and ran the pads of his fingers over a velvety flower. It felt lovely and soft and... he sighed. This was all Ferris'. the man was so talented.

[phantasmalunar]

"T's my hobbeh," Ferris said moving over to a group of big black blooms with stems of almost a blue colar and picking one, placing it delicately behind Cal's ear. "Night Lover," he said telling the name of the flower.
