THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING. ୨ৎ PROLOGUE.

series ♰ the garden of eden. < full m.list here!

warnings ♰ NON CURSES AU. mentions of murder, emotional / physical abuse and sexism ! maki is a bad friend ! she's slightly delusional ! obssesion she believes is "love at first sight" + stalking ! you're nobara's girlfriend ! mai has a non-specified fiancee ! yandere!maki !

maki often thinks that her having a sister was not a gift from heaven, but rather a great test to her and her patience. like a very prolonged divine joke with no signs of ending. okay, she gets it, weddings are stressful.

but for the last two months, mai has been freaking out even over the color of the walls in her apartment, and it's honestly ridiculous. so here's maki, walking around the city center. surrounded by noisy people, noisy things, dirty and clueless people. the guys would wink at her and whistle at her often if it weren't for her physical build — maki could snap any of them in half like a stick, and she knows it.

they know this. and because of that, she is generally very safe when walking down the street. she texts mai again. can you remind me where the address is?

the response comes immediately, furious and very stressed (probably the wedding venue has a problem with the date, again). you are unbelievable. it's an easy store to find. but her sister sends her the address nonetheless. the name is sea of roses, and it's in the center of the town — barely five minutes away from where she is now. it is the best flower shop for those who want quality and want to pay cheap at the same time. for god’s sake, maki, you should know.

she doesn't feel like listening to lectures via text messages, so she just sighs, marks it as read and goes on her way. surprisingly, the store really isn't hard to find, but it's a little annoying to be here on a saturday afternoon.

maki could simply be out there. hanging out with friends or doing what normal women her age do — even though she gave up blind dates and no-strings-attached sex a long time ago. mr. cupid simply judged that love was not in the plans of her life, of the script that made up the booklet of each person's life. a fiancée for mai, a new girlfriend for nobara— who, honestly, she doubted really existed— but no good, sweet girl for maki.

if she keeps thinking like that, she will die single like yuta.

the thought is depressing and funny in equal measure, so she keeps walking until she reaches the window. beautiful promotions in chic frames — a bouquet of flowers costs more than most people expect, but the price there was excellent.

she could understand why mai chose that store — the zenin fortune comes with the high price of sexism and a good emotional abuse (sometimes physical), but it means you can spend more on events like that, at least. not that any family other than maki would attend — it was supposed to be a small event. in theory. nothing that her sister does is small.

she pushes the door open, listening to the soft ding of the bell — ringing to alert the staff that a customer is entering. or, potential customer, as many would call it. there's a difference nowdays.

it's the time period when romanticism dies, they say. naturally, it must be a little unusual to sell flowers — at least that's what she thinks. don't people give flowers to the dead, too? tributes. but funerals truly are more for the living than for the dead — we need that consolation, that farewell, that gift. whether it's to pay genuine respect, mourn, or simply not look like an asshole by not showing up to a funeral.

she certainly wouldn't feel bad if some people died, but that's just her thinking. maki has developed a certain indifference to death since she started doing what she does.

it's not... often. it could be a rare hobby, like anyone doing something strange. something that must not come to light, something that must remain secret. just a little murdering every now and then to keep her loved ones happy and safe, and her bloodlust satiated.

at that moment, she is distracted by the sight of someone approaching. one of the employees leaves their post behind the counter to walk over to her while maki busies herself with the shelves and fancy flowers. she turns her face to look at them and her heart jumps in her chest.

“hello, how can i help you?”

wow. just, wow. you are beautiful. no, not beautiful — okay, too, but. she can't even think, feeling her mouth water as his amber eyes roam all over her body. it's a bit brazen, but she quickly controls herself and focuses on your face again.

“ah, yes, i— came here to check on an order. in fact, it's not even for today. wedding venue decoration, and some other stuff. for next month. it's for my sister's wedding, it's in mai zenin's name.”

you nod, muttering an ah, clear as if to say: how could i forget? as you return to your seat behind the counter, typing something on a computer, she follows you. taking advantage of this moment of distraction, maki can look at you, really look, without you noticing or finding it strange.

she's been with pretty girls several times. especially at the end of high school and at college parties, maki had been with a lot of girls in the back of the school or in empty classrooms, thinking that maybe they were too pretty for her — mai had always been the most popular, especially with women, but maki learned to have certain charms.

that's what she's thinking about now, back in her college days, where she was busier on her freshman year kissing other girls than actually studying (infuriating her family for various reasons).

she stares and stares while you look for the order, and she wants it to take a while so she can look at you more, memorize the details of her face. even your name, written kindly on your employee badge, is beautiful. she looks at you thinking that they must have founded the word beautiful thinking about you. not just pretty like a girl she'd like to take to bed — the thought makes her blush— but pretty in an unbelievably innocent way.

the kind of beauty that you love at first sight, the kind of beauty that she would love even after years together with you. if you were a muse, she would forever dedicate herself to being your artist. devotion arises in the back of her head instinctively, like a suppressed desire that has finally been released.

your voice snaps her out of this trance and puts her into another immediately. do you sing? she would love to hear you sing. for some reason, she thinks you would have the best voice for it.

“i found it, sorry for the delay. we are ready to carry out the decoration on the scheduled date, in addition to the bride's bouquet, the flower crowns for the bridesmaids and the other contracted services. is everything ok?”

“ah, yes, we're probably going to need a delay.” she takes out her cell phone to check a text message for mai. “the wedding venue canceled, or almost so, and my sister is a little crazy.”

“oh, i understand. i'm sorry for her, it happens more often than you think. usually the venues schedule two weddings for the same date, it's a mess.”

she feels herself smile when she sees your smile. what kind of magic is this? what is this feeling? this desire, this almost-hunger. it's as if she now knows exactly what's missing in her, her presence. it's like being a sunflower trapped in darkness for weeks and being exposed to sunlight and fresh water.

you are the sun. just as pure and bright as the sun. she feels like the sunflower , attracted to you brightness.

”postponements cost a small fee, but i believe these details i have to work out with her. can i assist you on anything else, miss zenin?”

“no problem.” she's sure mai can afford it, so she's looking around, trying to find a good excuse to get something. maybe she buys flowers just to keep talking to you. it sounds kind of insane, but it's not expensive for someone like her. “hey, uh, those flowers. over there. what are they?”

you turn around with a soft hm, and she has to control herself not to grab you and kiss you on the spot. why is maki so affected by the small actions you do? it makes no sense. you just met, she just discovered who you are.

“ah, they're red spider lilies. they're not popular, except for funerals. most people are afraid they'll be a morbid gift.”

of course, she had a vague idea that these red lilies meant death. which was strange, because she didn't feel uncomfortable around them or thinking about them.

“i want to take some, can you help me?”

your smile makes her want to buy half the store.

you approach the lilies to select the best ones for her, and maki has to put a hand on her chest as she listens to you chatter about them. it's beautiful, your voice is beautiful. she wants to hear you talk about flowers or anything else all day. and it wouldn't be enough.

her heartbeat is skyrocketing.

she watches your every move as you prepare a spider lily in a small vase, heading towards the cash register and being followed by her.

maki makes eye contact with you as she hands you the money bills, and her fingers brush yours gently as you receive them. the sensation makes her shiver, and her stomach contracts and twists in an extremely pleasurable way — especially because she swears you blushed.

unfortunately, she runs out of excuses kind of quickly, and she won't try to get your number. it's a bit too early for that, and you could refuse. but that's okay, she'll come back another day.

she's already got your first name, it shouldn't be difficult to find you on social media. as she leaves the store and heads home, she immediately searches every social media site she can find. the result are not very difficult to get, and like any decent stalker, maki is grateful for the existence of the internet. it makes everything much easier.

she sees the people in common between you. mai follows you, which makes sense. some other people from her sister's social circle of friends and even nobara follows you. this makes her hesitate, why does nobara follow you and not introduce you? maybe she's just a fan. you have more photos of flowers than selfies on your profile (unfortunately).

maki freezes in place when she sees a photo. it's yours — a sunset selfie, sundress and all. the problem is that you're not alone in it.

nobara kugisaki, in the flesh, is kissing your face, dangerously close to your mouth, as she looks into the camera.

it feels wrong for some reason. like nobara is taunting her. it's a violation, something that shouldn't be happening. it's bad, it makes her almost turn over from inside out in disgust.

but what really breaks her heart is nobara's comment. something between the lines my girlfriend is the most beautiful in the world. with a heart, even. and wow. wow, maki is absolutely fucked.

she wants her best friend's girlfriend. the cute florist girl she wants to take on dates and kiss, you — you're nobara's girlfriend. nobara, as in her best friend since highschool.

oh, she's so fucked.

୨୧ ꒰ the garden of eden ꒱ ୨୧ introduction.

౨ৎㅤwhen a woman walks into a flower shop, she finds her new obsession. the florist behind the counter.

“you’re in love with her.” a pause. “how could you?”

“how could i not be in love with her? don't you dare take this away from me.”

๋࣭ ⭑⚝⠀a yandere!maki zenin au — slasher!killer!maki x florist!fem!reader.

content warning / trigger warnings — DEATH, threatening, blood, murdering, sabotage, maki is a bad friend. obsession / yandere, stalking, manipulation, gaslighting. physical / sexual abuse attempts mentioned, assault, among others. ( please read the warnings at the beginning of each chapter for more info ).

˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ character introduction ;

୨୧ MAKI ZENIN, 27.ㅤshe has a degree in biomedicine, because her family wanted a course involving the health area. uninterested in dating, very reserved and good with sports. most of her friends say she isolates too much. best friends with nobara kugisaki and yuta okkotsu since first year of highschool.

small fact: she's a killer.

maki believes being called a killer is being too much. she has muscles, she uses them when needed — or when she wants to. the first time it happened, it was out of need. it’s not something she does frequently, but she got taste over the thing. making inconveniences disappear. inconveniences usually are weird people around her and her family / friends.

୨୧ MAI ZENIN, 27.ㅤshe is a surgeon. has a fiancée, although she keeps them from the eyes of the public. always engaging in family events so they'll leave her alone. usually chitchats with her sister after working exhausting hours. best friends with momo nishimiya.

small fact: she's a good cook.

mai was raised in a sexist, cruel family center, which means she learned how a “real wife” should behave. surprisingly, she discovered that she enjoyed cooking, despite not putting in much effort due to lack of time.

୨୧ YUTA OKKOTSU, 27.ㅤa violinist on his free time and a college professor on the music major. very optimistic — only sometimes — and often too kind for his own good. a lot of people think he has this sinister, intimidating aura around him, when in reality, he's a sweetheart.

small fact: his first composition was in honor of his first love.

called “Rika”, yuta made a song that disturbs the comforted and comforts the disturbed — weaving a song that moves in waves. happy peace. bleedy dedication, scratching the ears. near-silenced notes, as a grieving heart feels. and finally, the peace returning: different sounding, but peace nonetheless. it represents his journey through grief.

୨୧ NOBARA KUGISAKI, 26.ㅤa fashion designer who doesn't accept being called an amateur. very determined and built a very successful clothing store. she recently moved into an apartment and wants to convince her girlfriend to move in together, but things are a little fresh, and she doesn't want to rush it.

small fact: her girlfriend is a florist (you).

things started in a very cliché way: nobara needed some flowers to put at the entrance to her store, so she stopped at your flower shop. your attitude made her fall in love instantly. you've only been dating for a few months, but she personally already sees herself marrying you. she would like you to meet her friends.

SERIES M.LIST CAN BE FOUND HERE.
