Summary: Severus' flower of choice takes Harry by surprise.
Beauty In Bloom.
“I won't call you a closet romantic again, I swear...” Harry smiles encouragingly, trying to coax Severus into showing him the book he's holding.
“You won't understand...”
“Pretty please?”
“Fine! This is the Night-blooming Cereus.”
Harry gapes at the book's picture:
“A cactus? I'd have understood lilies, roses, even orchids... But cacti aren't wedding-bouquet material. They're too...”
“Prickly? Misshapen? Unappealing?”
“Severus...”
“Cacti flowers are special. They make ugliness look pretty...”
Harry becomes pale despite his suntan.
“You're not a bloody cactus!”
Severus kisses him reverently:
“Of course I am. But you make me beautiful, Harry. You've allowed me to... bloom.”
