Apollo & Hyacinthus

Apollo and Hyacinthus were friends, and Apollo was really fond of him.

One day they were playing quoits, and Apollo threw his spear really far. Hyacinthus was amazed, and he followed it and tried to catch it. However, it rebounded off the ground (some think that Zephyrus, the West wind, who was also really fond of Hyacinthus and was jealous of his preference of Apollo, changed the wind to make what happened next happen), hit him in the head, and killed him.

Apollo was devastated, and he turned Hyacinthus' blood into a flower.

I have a question: If Zephyrus was really fond of Hyacinthus, then why did he turn him into a flower? Shouldn't he have manipulated Hyacinthus into doing something that would make Apollo dislike him? Wouldn't that have been more logical?
