Just to be safe, I do not own ANY of the characters in this.
Also, any similarities with real life facts are mere coincidence.

Another monday came and this time, Cam was already at the city. This time he decided he would participate in the contest and win. He had even thought about the theme. In the end he decided to follow Vaughn's advice. "The one that's special to me". He had been sure to ask Philip to give him some of the snowdrops he had planted and the other gave him enough to make a whole bouquet of them. Lilian had been giving lavenders all through the season, so he had plenty too. The last flower, the one that gave the bouquet all the special meaning, was a blue rose he had been nourishing himself all through the season. Lloyd gave him the seed and told him that it was a very rare breed that had a hard time blooming in almost all the towns he had visited.
"Maybe you will have better luck than me to get it to bloom," Lloyd had told him after handing him the package.
For a couple days Cam had doubts himself if the rose would bloom but he kept caring for it until the first leaves started to sprout. And when the first button sprout he couldn't hide his happiness. But it was only after his conversation with Vaughn that he had decided to use it.
"This time I have to win", he had decided. "Not only for me, but for everyone that helped me so far."
Nina watched him as he prepared the bouquet. She liked it that the blue rose had been put right in the middle of the snowdrops but she didn't like how the blue was all by itself in the middle of all the white. It was only when Cam started to add the lavenders here and there that the bouquet started to get the shape it was supposed to.
"Lavender as the accent flower?" She asked him.
"You will understand in the right time, Nina," he had told her with a smile.

Cam was standing in front of all the people that had came to watch. He was anxious, so he couldn't focus in one spot at all, though he knew Nina was out there, watching him. He heard as each of the participants explained their theme to the public and started to panic. Some of them had some very detailed explanations about their themes while he was relying on his flowers and their meanings. When his turn came he cleared his throat before he started to explain.
"This bouquet's theme is "the one that's special to me" and the flowers I used to make it are the feelings she conveyed to me," he said, proceeding to showing the flowers. "The snowdrops are a symbol of hope, the hope she has always put in me without ever doubting, always waiting. The lavenders mean the love and devotion she has always showed me without ever asking me to return them to her. And the last, but most important of them all, is this blue rose. Blue roses were always seen as impossible to exist, but I managed to raise this one. This only rose represents the mystery of her own existence, her extraordinary beauty in my eyes and a dream. A dream that has yet to become true. All of this bouquet represents her."
It was so silent by the time he finished his explanation that he could hear the rustling of the judges papers, the single girls' sighs and giggles and some couples hugging and kissing. It made him feel good to know he had caused this kind of reaction. Then he waited patiently as the other contestants explained their themes, but this time he didn't feel bad at all. For the first time he was confident that no matter how good the other themes were, none could beat his love for Lilian.

He knocked on her door three times and waited. It was late in the night and he was exhausted but he couldn't help but want to see her. And surely enough, Lilian opened the door. She had a bed hair and was still rubbing her eyes and yawning, but seeing Cam put a smile on her face.
"Good night Cam," she greeted him. "What brings you here so late?"
"I am sorry that it took me so long to say this, Lil," he said, showing her the bouquet he had been hiding behind his back. "I love you."
Lilian's smile grew bigger, if that could even happen. She took the bouquet from his hands and hugged it against her chest, Cam didn't notice at first but tears were rolling down her face.
"It took you long enough," she finally said, wiping the tears and jumping on Cam's neck to hug him.
And when they parted Cam expected her to kiss him, but the kiss didn't come. Instead, she took his hand.
"Come, you must be tired. Let's sleep."
Her words struck him like a lightning and he covered his mouth that was wide open in awe. Still, he didn't fight against it when she pulled him inside the house and closed the door behind him. He took off his beret and his waistcoat before looking to Lilian. She was already looking at him so their eyes meet for a second before she averted her eyes from his gaze. "Maybe she's regretting it?" he thought. "I won't give her the chance to change her mind."
Marching straight her way he took her by surprise and started to kiss her. One moment later Lilian's hands were on his chest, unbuttoning the last buttons that kept his shirt on him before removing it. Cam started to lead them to the bed, the kiss turning more and more passionate, their hands wandering over each other bodies. when they got to the bed he turned around and break out of the kiss, panting. Lilian was trembling, her face all red, a tear still rolling down her face. Cam wiped it out this time.
"We don't have to go further than this if you don't want to," he said.
She seemed relieved and it disappointed him a bit. He took it as if it was time for him to go back to the cafe' and he surely enough had given a step away from the bed, towards the door, before Lilian grabbed his arm. He turned to see her face lowered.
"We don't need to go further but," she raised her head, looking straight into his eyes, deep into his soul, "it doesn't mean you have to go."
Philip was stuck for a second when she turned to her nightstand and took a blue feather from it.
"Seems like blue is our color after all," she smiled. "Will you accept it?"

When Cam woke up he didn't recognize where he was for a minute. The aroma of fresh bread invaded his nostrils and he turned around, just to see that the one that slept by his side wasn't there at all.
"It wasn't a dream" he thought to himself, not noticing the smile in his face. He got up and put his shirt back on, as well as his shoes, his beret and his waistcoat. They didn't do it in the end but he had teased her mercilessly to the point that they both barely slept.
"It is time to wake up, Cam," her sweet voice brought him back from his memories. "It is past 8 already, Howard must be worried."
"You're right. And you should come too," he added. "He would kill us if we don't tell him we're going to get married first. You know how he is with the gossip thing," he scratched the back of his head.
"I thought so," she said, giving him his shirt. "Dress up then let's eat breakfast. We will head to the cafe' when we're done here."
Cam got dressed as fast as he could and ate as little as he could. It was not that Lilian's food was bad but he wanted to rush to the cafe' and tell Howard and Laney the good news. He was sure that both of them would bless him.

"Oh my! You're getting married, Cam?!"
Howard surely seemed excited about the news. Laney seemed a bit dispirited but she was congratulating them nonetheless.
"So, out with it, then! When will the wedding be?" Howard asked, anxious.
"We were talking about having it on the 5th of spring," Cam started to say.
"The sooner the better," Lilian added.
"Oh! I've got to figure out what I'm going to wear to this joyous occasion!" Howard beamed.
"Dad! It is their wedding! And it won't happen so soon anyway!" Laney scolded.
"Nonsense, my dear! You' can never start planning these things too early! Besides, I love Cam like he was my own son! It's only natural that I'm excited for my son's wedding! Oh, we should contact Nina too! She will want to come!"
"I can tell her when I go visit her the next monday," Cam said.
"Are you planning to go to the city on the day before your marriage? Look, Lilian! Look! This is the man you're going to marry! Are you sure you're doing the right thing?" Howard teased.
Lilian and Cam exchanged a glance and smiled.
"I've never been so sure in all my life."

That same day Cam and Lilian went all the way to Konohana to tell Philip.
"I can't believe you did it without telling me anything, Lil. What if I am against it? And you didn't even talk to our parents," he scolded her.
"It is not like I was planning to invite them anyway," she said bluntly, to what both Cam and Philip were surprised. "What? If I did invite them, you'd never show up in there. And I want you to be the best man."
Cam watched as Philip tried to hide a smile and failed miserably. He didn't seem as angry with the idea as he had shown when they first said it.
"Okay, okay. I accept it. It is not like I'd say no to you anyway, right? And you, Cam!" He said, making Cam straighten his back. "You better take good care of my little sis. Or else..."
"Yeah, yeah, I get the picture," Cam shrugged it away as Lilian giggled.

On the last day of winter all the townsfolk gathered to celebrate the New Year. Philip wasn't there since he was celebrating with Konohana. "Reina insisted," he had said. And so they took the chance to tell everyone about the wedding. There were a lot of congratulations coming from everyone but Ash was the one who seemed the happiest about it.
"So, it seems things went well for you," he said to Cam while Lilian was talking with someone else.
"You could say so. The bouquet did get the first prize after all."
"I thought you would never make it," Ash said bluntly. Cam glared at him and he gave him an apologetic look. "It is the truth, though. You never put your energy into anything, really. Maybe Lilian is a good change to your life. At least you need that energy more than I do."

"I'm exhausted," Lilian said, sitting on her bed. "Never thought that getting married would be so much work."
The wedding had been held at the mountain summit and the only person from Konohana that had come was Philip. The two towns still had some grudge after all and it seemed a lot more of work would have to be done in order to fix it. Lilian seemed a bit sad because of it and Cam had noticed it.
"Don't be like that," he said, sitting by her side and kissing her neck. "Philip was there and that's what matters, right? We're married now," he started, turning her head to face him, "it isn't like you need anyone else."
"You're getting too conceited," she mumbled as her hands started to work on taking off his clothes.
"It is your own fault for making me want you so much," he said, helping her get off of the wedding dress. "I won't hold myself now that we're married," he teased.
"I didn't think you would."

It is over! I know I usually write on the start but this is the last chapter after all so I thought it'd be better to put all those on the end. This is the last chapter. I'm sorry if I disappointed you in any way (like the chapter not being well written or if things seem rushed) but I was having a really hard time to keep this on the T rate. I really felt like adding some smut to it in this end. If you guys played the game and want to read about the tunnel being built you may want to read my story about Philip. I never wrote any chapter for it anymore mostly because I wanted to focus on finishing this one, but now that it is over I can continue the other. There will be more from Lilian and Cam in there too but they won't be the main focus. Thanks all for the support so far and I hope to see you guys in the future.
