Bluebells for Reine

"Bluebells for Reine" is a sequel to "Noise Complaint" written by Kureiji Ollie. This is one of two works written as a result of Ollie having lost a bet and having to write two PavOllie fanfics. In this borderline-Shakespearean story, Kureiji Ollie goes to Pavolia Reine's room to deliver a gift. "Bluebells for Reine" is notably more romantic than many previous installations, suggesting that this was not Ollie's first experience with writing fanfics. An alternate version of "Bluebells for Reine" was written by Kureiji Ollie and titled "Ollie's ROUTE (CENSORED VERSION)."

### Transcript

Standing in front of the front door, Ollie started to fidget nervously. She took a deep breath as she grips the bouquet of flowers in her hands.

Despite always being energetic, Ollie felt weak and just couldn't bring herself to knock.

She's been staring at the wooden carved "Pavolia" on the door for a quarter of an hour now, yet she just can't bring her body to cooperate.

"Come on, Ollie... It's okay... You got this..."

She said to herself.

It's not her first time bringing Reine a gift, though it is her first time bringing her something personal.

Ollie and Reine would often gift each other, though mostly in forms of edible goods; whether they'd be a little snack or a box of pizza.

So, for Ollie to bring a bouquet of blues for Reine... It's a little embarrassing for the little zombie.

She took a deep breath and waited for an answer. If she was still human, Ollie's face would be flushed the same color of her hair right now.

She curses the fact that even though she's already dead, she still has a functional heart. A functional heart that's a lot noisier than her own loud voice.

Soft footsteps can be heard beyond the door, and that only made Ollie a lot more nervous.

Zombies lack the main senses that a normal human has, but for some reason Ollie's hearing became sharp and the thought of Reine nearing.

The doorknob turned.

Ollie gulped at the sight of her genmate's pearly white silky hair; it never ceases to put an awe in her mouth.

Reine's deep blue then centered and focused on Ollie.

She smiled.

"Oh hey, I wasn't expecting you to visit~"

Oh, how Ollie melted at the sound of her gentle voice. It was like a double combo. Having most of their conversation in discord, Ollie would always somehow makess it though without dying twice.

But seeing Reine right in front of her, talking in the soft way she always does, it's enough to drive Ollie insane.

"What's up? Do you want to come in?"

"M-Me? No um... Actually..." Ollie stuttered.

I was... just p-planning on dropping by to say 'hi' real quick..."

There's no way on earth that Ollie would say that she purposely bought flowers for the peafowl princess.

"Oh! How nice of you! Thanks for dropping by! It's good to see your face after awhile!"

'And it's a blessing to see YOUR face' Ollie silently thought to herself.

"S-so um... On my way here uh... I walked past a flower shop..."

"And...?"

"I... I-I got these for you!!" Ollie exclaimed, shoving the flowers in front of Reine's face.

"Flowers? For me?" Reine asked in surprise, eyes widened bewildered.

"Y-yeah... They have your color and...

it reminded me of you

... There's called bluebells..."

Reine blushed and smiled, smelling the flowers as she brings it close to her nose.

"They're lovely, Ollie..."

~THE END~

\*A/N: Bluebell is a symbol of humility, constancy, gratitude, and everlasting love.

It is said that if you turn a bluebell inside-out without tearing it, you will win the one you love.
