Oleander was assigned to be your knight, nothing more, yet as the months go by he finds himself drawn to you as more than a loyal companion, more than the faceless servant that would do anything for you. It wasn't romantic, but it ran far deeper than anyone could understand.

Then the petals came, bitter and toxic against his tongue and throat as he had stumbled at the realization. It was unheard of—he never thought it'd happen to him, he'd seen it in others—for someone such as himself to contract the disease.

Someone 'without a heart' and 'frigid'...but oh how he didn't regret falling in love with you. His charge and cherished companion after all these years. So why didn't you see him the same way? Was he merely a willing tool and sword in your eyes? He may not have had a romantic heart but he was something—yours—and that had to count for something, didn't it?

Branches in his bronchi and pink petals constrict his lungs, tangling into the most lovely bouquet for the only person he'd ever feel this way about.

And he'd never trim the shrub inside of him.

| Author's Notes // Yapping |

The bot image is from @Snifflesnaps / @diotallevi99 on the Janitor Ai's discord in the Image Gen Adopt Dump server.

Since I didn't see any bots with an aromantic hanahaki concept, I took it upon myself to make one (and because I am on the aro-ace spectrum; demi). Most stories on hanahaki are romantic ones and I wanted to see different forms of love represented too, as seen with my limited bots. And I did have a fluffy aromantic/asexual cupid and succubus bots (inspired by the same song) in the works but that's on hiatus for now. Personal bot stuff :3 So uh yeah. Considering a cakeverse bot and have been thinking about the existential horror of soulmates.

Same setting as the Drakothis bot but you're the official Monarchy now, whether you are wedded or not is up to you.

Hope you guys enjoy and hydrate!
