Hey there, minna-san! Yep, it's me again!
Okay, finished that fic starring Omi, Chris and Marcel, all voiced by Yuuki Hiro.
There is some shounen-ai mentioned with the pairings Chris x Hiromu and Ken x Omi. Oh yeah, and then there was also Chris mentioning his crush on Nanami Kai, followed by brief mention of Shinichirou x Nanami.
Here are the boys...
Tsukiyono Omi from Weiss Kreuz
Marcel from Angelique (recently his surname was announced to be Sarhan, but I think that'll only apply to the Love Love Tenshi game...also, did I mention in that game he's Australian?)
Chris from Sukisho (Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shouganai!!)
And here's the fic...
Omi and Chris were helping Marcel work in the garden. Since Omi's day-job was that of a florist, he did know what he was doing, if only by that experience. Chris helped out at a church, including maintenance, so he would have to know how to tend to flowers.
Marcel had hoped this would make a good distraction, he'd noticed Omi had appeared quite upset lately, and he didn't have the slightest clue why.
Chris had also noticed, which is exactly why he agreed with Marcel to convince Omi into working on the garden with them.

They were quiet most of the time, just focusing on what needed to be done. Marcel wiped the sweat from his forehead, not minding he got a smear of dirt as his reward. "It's a sunny day today, perfect weather for all of these flowers to bloom nicely."
Chris nodded as he started brushing soil off his palms. "I have to agree, Marcel-sama."
The Midori no Shugosei pouted. "You don't have to address me that way. If you want to use an honorific, then -kun is fine."
"Alright, Marcel-kun." Chris turned to Omi. "Wouldn't you agree, Omi-san? The weather is perfect!"
Silence greeted them as Omi's response. Marcel blinked once. "Omi-san?"
Chris turned to Marcel. "Maybe it didn't work..." he whispered.
The blond nodded. He rose from his kneeling position and waited for Chris to do the same before he walked over to the assassin.

"Omi-san?"
Omi jumped slightly and turned to the younger teenagers. "Oh! Marcel-sama. Chris-kun."
"Omi-san, I already told you, you can address me as Marcel-kun, I'm not your superior," Marcel sighed. "Is something troubling you? You've been very quiet today. Normally, when we're out here working on the garden, you're about as talkative as I get to be."
Omi sighed. He hadn't even been working on the garden, just sitting there and thinking. "Marcel-kun. Chris-kun. Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?" Chris asked as he and the youngest teenager sat on either side of the assassin.
"Have you ever been in love?"
That question surprised the boys. "Love?"
"Yes."
Marcel thought about it. "I did experience a few crushes, but never anything serious."
Chris nodded. "I had a crush on Doctor, but when it was clear he was always going to be with Shinichirou-san, I just sat back and watched their happiness. Then, I spoke with Hiromu-kun who knew exactly what I was feeling because of his crush on Hashiba-kun. Somehow, we bonded over that."
"And you eventually fell in love. I've seen you two together," Marcel teased.
Chris blushed. "Stop it, Marcel-kun."
Marcel just chuckled. He became serious again as he turned to Omi. "Are you in love with someone?"
"Yeah." Omi quietly nodded. "Ken-kun."
Neither Chris nor Marcel expected to hear that. Sure, they'd seen he got along very well with Ken, but they always saw it as a big brother - little brother relationship.
"I want to tell him how I feel for him...but..." Omi's eyes began to tear up.
Marcel quickly rose to his feet and headed to another part of the garden. He hurried back and returned to his spot. "Here, Omi-san. This flower suits you much better than those tears do."
Omi accepted the sunflower and smiled slightly. "Thanks, Marcel-kun." He wiped his eyes. "But, still, I don't know how I can tell Ken-kun how I feel."
"Just tell him," Chris advised. "Don't take forever to get your point across. We all know Ken-san can be a bit dense in this department."
Omi chuckled slightly. "That's true." He sobered. "But, what if Ken-kun doesn't feel the same way?"
"Then, of course it will hurt. But, wouldn't it be better to at least let him know just how much you care about him?"
Marcel nodded. "Chris-san is right. And, if things don't go as well as hoped, we're both here to help you."
"But, of course, we wish for the best."
Omi smiled widely, causing the younger teenagers to smile. They were relieved Omi was returning to his smiley self. "Alright. I'm going to go and tell Ken-kun right now just how I feel for him!" He rose to his feet. "Thanks, you two!" At that, Omi dashed off.
"Do you think it will go well?" Marcel asked of the older teenager.
"I pray it will," the dark-haired boy replied as he closed his eyes and clasped his hands together.

The next day, the three boys were back in the garden, all of them working hard on it. "So, how did it go, Omi-san?" Chris questioned.
"Ken-kun said yes! He feels the same way!" Omi replied happily.
"That's wonderful! Congratulations!" Marcel cheered as he moved from his spot and hugged Omi around the shoulders.
That's it for now, minna-san! Ja ne!
