[Jae-Ha had started this morning out by heading over to the near shore and doing some shopping. He had to buy more clothes, first of all, for various reasons, and then there was something else he was interested in. So, by the time he comes back, he has a variety of bags slung over his arms.

He waits until most of it is taken care of and put away before moving to find the couch that Hazel's sitting on. His fingers are curled loosely into his palms, but his sleeves are long enough that this probably just seems normal as he moves over.]

Come here. [That's his greeting as he sits down next to him, holding his arms out expectantly for Hazel to sit up a bit more.]

Comments

sneakily tags from bed

[churchbelle]

[God... He can see that awkward disappointment and it kills him a little. Jae-Ha is trying, as much as Hazel might disagree that he needs to be helped with... not liking gardening. Is it particularly fair of him to be so difficult about this? Hm.]

Jae-Ha. [Don't pretend!!] I know I'm bein' irrational at best.

[So that's good? He is aware of what a baby he's being about... plants. He shifts to stand closer to Jae-Ha, bumping his arm. Jae-Ha does help, in his way— Hazel isn't trying to burn these flowers in the backyard, or anything. So.]

I'll be kinder about the garden, I'm promisin' right now. Tell me somethin' about it. [gardening???]

i passed out so immediately you were 2 sneaky

[razzledazzles]

[ caught... well, still, that arm bump helps and so do those words. He bumps back a little, squeezing his hand a bit. ]

It's doing incredibly well! Not that I know much about this myself, but learning has been more fun than I anticipated.

[ he didn't think he'd enjoy it this much, but it is a lot nicer than dealing with other things... ] If they keep growing like this, we could move them outside much quicker than I thought. I think they'll look beautiful next to the other plants.

always the sneakiest: me

[churchbelle]

[Ah, that's much better. He'll do his best now to be... interested in flowers, yeah... He's putting in the effort and that counts.]

Are those growin' at top speed, too? [look out a window sometime Hazel] It'll look nice outside, I s'pose.

[Mmm... mmmmmmmm.] But you're sayin' you've got a green thumb, is that right?

[love him]

hmmmm idk about always

[razzledazzles]

[Gosh... Okay, that earns a laugh from Jae-Ha as he bumps arms with Hazel again. Green thumb... Stop.]

Thankfully, I don't. But I do have a way with making things grow.

[That's an inappropriate pun for flower time, but he throws it out there anyway, moving to grab the watering tin from the window. Here, it's time to test Hazel's effort!! He offers it over with a smile.]

Do you want to water these ones?

whoa??

[churchbelle]

[Jae-Ha... He's distracted by inappropriate puns so much that he takes the watering tin without actually thinking about it, then blinks down at it like he's wondering how it got there.

Ah. Effort. Well, he did say...]

I reckon I can. [stare............uh] Do they need more since they're gettin' big now?

sneaky 5% of the time

[razzledazzles]

[Well, if it helps any, seeing Hazel agree to it without a complaint gets a happy smile from Jae-Ha. That's the spirit!!]

Not any more than usual. You want just enough to make the soil damp, so I usually hold it for just a few seconds on each side. Don't get the leaves or stem itself, just aim for the soil.

[He places a hand on Hazel's shoulder, leaning closer.] Go on, I'll guide you.

i deserve more than 5%

[churchbelle]

[Guide him, please, that's silly and he'll be embarrassed. He already kind of is, for his dopey question and the way Jae-Ha just answers him completely seriously. He doesn't know how to water a plant, what's wrong with him...]

Oh, huh. [He wasn't going to just dump water all over the leaves yes he was, he's a moron. He gives Jae-Ha a look, anyway, before tipping the tin forward with both hands. So carefully!!!]

6%

[razzledazzles]

[There's no judgement from Jae-Ha, though. What's wrong with not knowing how to water a plant? Then again, he didn't know what a bus was, so he's very used to not knowing things that are apparently basic here. He watches eagerly as Hazel waters.]

You're doing wonderfully. Now make sure you get all the way around it, and move to the next one, down the row just like that. You're very gentle with it.

wtf

[churchbelle]

[Stop that... that's even more embarrassing!! He's definitely pouting at these flowers a little as he moves on to watering the next one, ugh, please.]

Now you're just layin' it on thick.

[razzledazzles]

Eh? What's wrong with what I said?

[Was it too much... He'll try to watch quietly now, still hovering over his shoulder and watching with way too much interest.]

[churchbelle]

[Jae-Ha is so cute, what the fuck, this is how Hazel dies. He just hums, moving down the row to keep watering these little flower babies.]

Nothin', never mind. I'm concentratin'.

[razzledazzles]

[Hazel is the one who's cute. Look at him, trying this hard!! Jae-Ha keeps his mouth shut now, watching with great interest as Hazel waters them. He probably doesn't need any correcting. The flowers won't die from a tiny bit too much or too little water, and he wouldn't want to correct Hazel if he didn't have to, anyway.

He almost wants to pull out his phone and take a picture, but he resists.

So at the end, he holds his hands out to take the watering tin back with a happy smile.]

Thank you.

[churchbelle]

[Thanks for not taking candid shots of him pouting at flowers, Jae-Ha. Nobody else needs to witness this behavior.

He hands the tin back to Jae-Ha when he's through, giving the little plants one last look. They're just going to die, soooo... why thank him for that?? Whatever. At least he got a nice smile for his efforts.]

Sure. Is that all we gotta do? [how do you plant, tell him google-ha]

[razzledazzles]

[So Jae-Ha has a lot in common with these flowers. He's beautiful, he lived a short life, he smells great—]

I haven't turned the planter in the window recently, so I'll do it again so they won't grow in crooked.

[He sets the watering tin aside to do this, looking fondly down at the flowers. Even if Hazel's not into it, he will view them as tiny plant children. A little.]

That's all for today... But I do need to get through all of the others.

[churchbelle]

[how fast does jae-ha grow]

The rest of the plants? [Hmm... Fine, he will continue to be the supportive bf today.] Alright, let's see 'em.

[razzledazzles]

[Hazel should know,,,]

You don't mind? [He doesn't want to push this too much... But awesome, he won't hesitate either! Reaching with one of his hands, he takes one of Hazel's again and takes the watering tin with the other, moving along to the next window for another row of flowers.]

You know, I don't think I've ever really cared for plants or anything similar, but something about this is almost nostalgic. [Caring for babies is close enough.] No matter how much is going on, it's nice to have something to relax with.

[churchbelle]

[he does,,,,

Anyway, "relaxing" isn't how he'd describe this, but he just hums and follows Jae-Ha along to the next flowers. Holding hands is much more relaxing than watering plants, which is work and also pointless?? Hmm.]

I s'pose... Havin' a hobby's good. [Hazel just doesn't have any hobbies that don't frustrate him?? Ah. Anyway, Jae-Ha can water these while he just stands there and watches, cool.]

[razzledazzles]

[Hm... Hazel still sounds so hesitant talking about this. Does he not get it?? Is he just being polite by not saying much?? Probably. Jae-Ha is quiet for the first half of the flowers, but as he moves on, he glances briefly to Hazel.]

Are you just thinking I'm weird to enjoy this?

[churchbelle]

[Wow, why must Jae-Ha play hardball about gardening? Hazel is genuinely surprised about being asked that, god...]

No, I'm just not cut out for raisin' flowers, that's all. This is hardly the weirdest thing you've ever done.

[razzledazzles]

You don't have to put it like that.

[His ego... He's never weird??? But he looks back to the flowers, finishing up his watering. It's not like he'd mind if Hazel finds it weird, he's just feeling like he's not quite understanding something himself. Maybe he'll just... pay more attention, and bring attention to this a little less.]

Is there something you enjoy doing? Aside from reading. [do u have hobbies hazel]

[churchbelle]

I'm bein' honest. [Heh... Jae-Ha is sooo weird and that's just fine, Hazel likes him that way, what would he do if Jae-Ha weren't such an odd person?? Not fit in, probably. Gosh.

But that brief sappy thought aside, hm, does he... enjoy doing anything...] I like spendin' time with ya.

[he has no hobbies]

[razzledazzles]

[...Okay, on the one hand, he didn't expect a cute answer like that and he actually looks surprised before leaning in a little more to water this last flower. On the other hand...]

Is that all?

[churchbelle]

[This is bullying... leave him alone. He's been busy for a while, okay!!]

Alright, what's your point?

[razzledazzles]

[Ugh, but he's cute... Jae-Ha laughs quietly, setting the watering can aside again because he's done anyway and he'd rather face Hazel and take his cheek in his free hand.]

If I had known I was your only source of pleasure, I wouldn't hold back nearly as much as I do now.

[Is lightening the mood working.] How can you relax when I'm not around? There must be something you haven't found yet.

[churchbelle]

[Jae-Ha!! Hazel blinks at him, frowns briefly, sighs a little. The stupid comments do help, but that in itself is also embarrassing...]

I'll get to askin' the internet about it. That'll work nicely, don't ya think?

[let him live]
