The picture I made above was kind of  just a screenshot redraw from a Steven Universe episode, "It could have been great".

"Hey Azzy." Kris greeted, resting his arms on the big dinner table.

"Don't call me that." Flowey responded with a bit of tone in his voice.

"W-Why?"

"Just-" He stopped himself.

"Just call me who I am right now ok?"

Kris fell silent yet he didn't protest to Flowey's requests. He nodded.

"A-anyways I-I want to ask you something.."

"What?"

"Can you say clods?"

"What does that mean?" He asked.

"C-can you just say it please?"

"No and why are you still bothering me?"

"B-Because I-I want to and I still miss you."

Flowey eyes averted away.

"But...don't you have anything better to do?"

Kris froze at that question, feeling a bit of nostalgia from it before continuing.

"N-No..no I-I don't actually." He said confidently, but softly.

Flowey slightly turned his head to face him.

"I-I'd rather hang out with you t-than anything else." Kris smiled.

Flowey grunted, turning his head away again.

"So w-what do you want to do?" Kris asked.

"I don't know. You were the one who, I guess wants to hangout ."

Flowey was right. Kris thought about it, however it didn't that long for an idea to pop in his head, as he remembered his first question he asked Flowey earlier.

"Flowey come on. I have a place in mind." Kris said, picking up the flower and walking towards the door, grabbing his coat and shoes.

"W-we'll be back." Kris told everyone.

The neighbor looked up from his newspaper.

"Make sure you watch over him Flowey."

The flower sighed. "Yes sir." He said sarcastically.

Kris smiled, walking out the door with Flowey in his hands.

^^^^^^^^^

They soon arrived in town where they came across a small building. Apparently, it was a music department, where instruments and such were heard, including a perfect size piano for Kris, which was why he'd had brought Flowey here in the first place.

"Woah i-it's a bit warm in here.." Kris said as he walked into the small room with the piano.

He sat Flowey onto of it and took off his coat, placing it on the small stool.

"You play piano?" Flowey asked.

Kris, who was smiling, nodded. He seemed pretty excited.

"Since when?"

Kris took a seat on the stool, pulling out his phone and typing something.

I..I know you know the story about w-what happened to me since I-I last saw you, but I-I also got to learn some n-new things too. Like t-this."

The boy smiled wider once he found what he was looking for.

"And you're g-going to help me sing."

He placed the phone on top of Flowey's flowerpot so he could see. The phone showed lyrics to a song Flowey didn't know.

"By the way, y-your Peridot and I'm Steven." Kris gestured to the lyrics on his phone.

"Peace and love..on the planet earth??" He gagged at the title.

"Yup. You and me are g-gonna sing."

"Wait...isn't this from that dumb show you like?"

"It's not dumb a-and yes." Kris said as he cracked his knuckles and prepared himself before he started playing.

"I'm not singing."

Kris looked at the flower.

"W-why not?"

"Cuz it's stupid and what's the point?" He looked away.

"Please?" Kris begged.

Flowey grunted.

"Come on, I-I'll start."

(This song is one of my absolute favorite Steven Universe songs. It just feels so magical and emotional to me, I love it so much. Amazing job Rebecca 😌)

Kris played a few starter notes and then began playing for real.

"Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do.."

Flowey turned around slightly. Kris smiled and repeated himself.

The grumpy flower sighed and looked back at the lyrics.

"Do-mi-so-do...?"

"Isn't it pretty?"

Flowey sighed, however only slightly this time.

"That's exceedingly simple
Do-mi-so-ti..."

"We're making music"

"What is the point?
You're...not making anything"

Flowey found himself hesitating on some of the lyrics.

"Well, if it isn't anything, then why does it sound so good?" Kris smiled, continuing to play the memorized notes.

"I suppose it's just interest...
Do-mi-so-do
Devoid of substance or purpose, a... a hypothetical pattern?
Do-mi-so-ti
For the satisfaction of..bringing it to completion"

"Sure"

"Do-mi-so-ti
Interest without meaning?
Solutions without problems?"

Kris added a bit more character into his singing.

"And then you just add words
H-Here's what I have been working on..
Life and death and love and birth
And peace and war on the planet Earth
Is there anything that's worth more
Than peace and love on the planet Earth?
Ooh-woah, come on and sing it with me"

"Sing?"

"The words relate to the key"

"Key?"

"If it's a pattern
If it's a pattern
Then just repeat after me..

Life and death and love and birth.."

"Life and death and love and birth.."

"Now you sing mi-fa-mi-mi-fa-mi-ti-la!
And peace and war on the planet Earth!"

"Yes, yes! That's it!"

Kris exclaimed a bit more than he was supposed.

"That's so...easy.."

"Yeah, but that's what's fun about it
Y-You should write something, you should write a song!"

"About what?"

"W-Whatever you're thinking!"

"I guess we're already here
I guess we already know
We've all got something to fear
We've all got nowhere to go
I think you're all insane!
But I guess..I am too..
Anybody would be if they were stuck on Earth with you.."

Realization slips into the flower as he sang more of the lyrics. His face brightens up more and more when he noticed...

This kind of reminds him of himself and his thoughts.

"Hahaha yes!"

Kris felt more and more happier as they finished the rest of the song.

"O-oh and by the way, we just repeat back and forth for t-this part. I-I go first." Kris noticed to the flower.

"Life and death and love and birth and.."

"Life and death and love and birth and.."

"Life and death and love and birth and
peace and war on the planet Earth"

"Is there anything that's worth more?"

"Is there anything that's worth more?"

"Is there anything that's worth more
Than peace and love on the planet Earth?"

The final notes were played as the song came to its end.

Kris took a breath, gently placing his hands on his lap.

"H-How was that?" He asked, looking up at Flowey.

The flower took a second to find the right words he was looking for.

"Meh..." Was all that could come out of his jumbled mind as he looked away, feeling embarrassed.

Kris chuckled. 'I knew he would like it.' He thought.

"Y-You know...every time I-I see Peridot on screen I-I'm like: "Oh! That's Flowey!" Kris laughed.

"I uh...bet you do..." He rolled his eyes, kind of playfully.

"D-do you want to sing another one?"

Flowey was reluctant again.

"Whatever..."

Kris smiled again, grabbing his phone and typing a new song to sing. Not even a minute later, he had found one, placing the phone back onto of the flowerpot.

"What's..the use of feeling..blue?" Flowey asked himself.

"Yeah..I-I love his one a-and yes, it's from the same show."

Flowey nodded.

"A-also your singing the lyrics this time. I-I singing the background vocals and the Pearls."

Flowey didn't have time to protest as Kris started playing the memorized notes. The music from the piano sounded...a bit sad and Kris' singing was...more emotional that it was almost too good. It was...really beautiful actually.

(This one too ^w^)

"Aah-haa-haa, aah-haa-haa
Aah-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa
Aah-haa-haa, aah-haa-haa
Aah-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa-haa haa haaaaa..."

Flowey was rather flabbergasted at the boy's voice before he realized he had to sing.

"Why would you want to be here?
What do you ever see here?
That doesn't make you feel worse than you do?
And tell me, what's the use of feeling... Blue?
Why would you want to employ her subjects that destroyed her?
Why keep up her silly zoo? Oh, tell me, what's the use of feeling, Blue?"

The flower was a bit off with his lyrics, considering he's never heard this before, but Kris didn't mind nor did he stop.

"An army has a use; they can..go and fight a war
A sapphire has a use; she can tell you what it's for
An agate terrifies; a lapis terraforms!
Where's their Diamond when they need them, Blue?
You've got to be a leader Blue!
Yes, of course we still love her...
And we're always thinking of..her...
But now there's nothing we can do, so tell me...
What's the use of feeling?
What's the use of feeling?
What's the use of feeling, Blue?
Oh, how can you stand to be here with it all?"

"Here with it all!"

"Drowning in all this regret...
Wouldn't you rather forget her?
Ohh, won't it be grand to get rid of it all?"

"Rid of it all!"

"Let's make a plan and attack!
Start looking forward and stop looking back!"

"Oh, yes, of course we still love her...
And we're always thinking of her...
Don't you know I miss her, too?
But, tell me...
What's the use of feeling...
What's the use of feeling...
What's the use of feeling...
Mmm-hmm-hmm, mmm-hmm-hmm..
Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm-mmmm..."

Flowey sighed after that. He wasn't going to admit it, but he was enjoying these songs.

"T-That was fun." Kris said.

Flowey mumbled something under his breath, making Kris look at him in confusion.

"What?"

"Can..." He cursed himself in his head before continuing.

"Can we do...more?..."

Kris was surprised, but smiled warmly.

"Yeah, w-we can."

The two sent 30 more minutes there. Maybe a little longer since they were so focused and having fun singing to their hearts content.

Eventually, they left and headed back to the house.

^^^^^^^

They continued their conversations in Kris' room, sitting on the bed talking about random things or even a little venting from time to time. It soon got to the point where they began to talk about how to change Flowey back.

Kris came up with an idea of going back in time, using one of Hat Kid's time pieces and convincing Alphys to make an artificial soul somehow before they all left the underground forever. Kris also was thinking of giving Flowey half of his soul, since it also requires a human soul to make it work.

Flowey immediately shot down this idea however, saying that it's WAY too riskey and that everything now is fine and that they might lose what they already have. Kris found himself agreeing with him.

"Flowey I..I-I would try anything to bring you back. W-we just need to come up with s-something else. I-I know there's a way. T-There has to be."

"There it is."

Kris looked at him confused.

"Huh?"

"Your "Determination". He joked.

"I.." Kris chuckled.

"I-I guess your right..I am d-determined to help you i-in anyway I can."

Kris thinks for another idea before he comes up with one.

He picks up Flowey and brings him close to him.

"What are you doing?" The flower asks, a bit suspicious about what Kris had in mind.

"I-I wanna try something.."

Kris cupped the flower's face gently. He lends in and kisses him, before pulling back slowly, waiting to see if anything happens. But nothing did.

Flowey was speckless beyond anything. His face turned a bright red as he broke out of his trance.

"W-WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!?" He exclaimed.

"I-I thought i-it would work. L-like in fairytales."

"Are you kidding me!? Kris this isn't a fairytale or something, this is real with real shit!"

"I-I know, but...y-you'll never know right? Life is..full of s-surprises."

"Are you seriously relying on fairytales now?"

"N-no but, i-it's nice t-to think that they could be real. W-wouldn't it be could if we were in one?"

"Are you kidding me?" Flowey annoyingly asked.

"Yeah. I-it could be like the Frog Prince."

"No."

"O-or how about the Flower Prince." Kris chuckles.

"Oh god." He rolled his eyes.

"Or m-maybe even Beauty and the Beast."

"Oh god no!"

"W-What's wrong Flowey? Y-you don't a tale as old as time?" Kris chuckles again.

"No. I don't."

"O-or how about The Prince and The Pauper?"

"They didn't even kiss in that!"

"B-but they can. N-not everything has to g-go by the book o-or story."

Flowey opened his mouth to speak, but stopped himself and thought about that statement.

"I...I guess you're right about that." He admitted.

"I-I'm sorry though."

"For what?"

"F-for um..what I just did.." Kris said blushing slightly.

Flowey sighed.

"It's fine. You gotta save those lips anyway for the boy you talked about."

"W-WHAT?!"

^^^^^^^^^^

The sun was setting in the horizon as night started to take over the sky, casting its darkness over everything. Light snow began to fall from the sky, making the air grow more colder than it was before. Flowey had to go do something real quick somewhere else in the house. When he traveled back to Kris' room in the flowerpot (because Kris wanted him to come back), he didn't except the one he was supposed to be in get wrapped up in blankets, along with a certain boy as well.

Flowey looked up as Kris hugged the flowerpot closer to his chest, wrapping more of the warm blanket around them.

"I-I had fun with you t-today.." Kris whispered. He looked down at the flower.

"D-did you have fun Flowey?" He asked.

Flowey sighed.

"I..I guess it wasn't..too bad.." He answered quietly, half embarrassed from what he said. Kris smiles warmly.

"So why are we doing this?" The flower asked, obviously referring to the immense amount of cuddling their doing.

"B-because I-I think cuddle time is great time."

Flowey sighed annoyingly.

They sat on the bed in silence. The room getting darker as the sun disappeared more.

"Christmas i-is in four days.." Kris spoke quietly again.

"W-What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. What do people normally do on Christmas?"

"O-oh wait..You..you don't know what Christmas is, d-do you?"

"Not..really..The decorations around the house is meant for that right?"

"Yeah, y-you're right..I-it's a holiday every December 24 and 25, where f-family and friends come over a-and spend time together. U-usually, people exchanged gifts and have a big Christmas dinner together." The boy said.

"There's eggnog and hot chocolate, w-which is my personal favorite, and e-even kissing under mistletoes u-usually happen too.

T-there's also a guy that children like to believe a-around these times called Santa Claus, w-where he delivers gifts on his sleigh and reindeer. S-sadly though he's..he's not real and only made for something f-for children to believe in.

But Christmas i-isn't about Santa or the gifts, i-it's about spending time with the ones you love."

Flowey nodded slowly, yawning afterwards.

"Tired?"

"A..little.." Kris chuckles.

"I-I can get you to bed if y-"

"Wait!"

Kris stops. "W-what is it?"

"Can..we go somewhere tomorrow?" Flowey asks.

Kris seemed taken aback by this. Flowey usually isn't the one to ask these sort of things. But Kris didn't look to much into it. He smiled.

"Sure. D-Do you want me to bring you b-back to your room?"

"Yeah..why not."

The boy removed the covers they were wrapped in, got up from the bed and carried Flowey out of Kris' room to reach his room. Once they were there, Kris set the flowerpot on the desk as Flowey traveled back to his own flowerbed.

Kris kneeled down to give a few final words to his best friend.

"T-thank you for being with me today."

Flowey sighed tiredly.

"It's whatever I guess.."

"A-And Flowey.."

"What?"

"I love you."

Flowey faced down as he nodded, not knowing what else to say.

"I-I'll leave you now...Goodnight Flowey..." Kris stands up and opens the door. He takes one more look at Flowey before leaving and closing the door behind him gently.

Flowey's head remained down as he thought about everything today. Kris however, was the only thing on his mind. The flower sighed once more.

"You're an idiot..." He mumbled to himself, feeling the slightest blush spread across his cheeks.

Also here's an additional picture I did not to long ago:
