white roses // cscoop x hugbox

Cooper pushed the shop's door.
"Hello ?" He called out. Honestly he wasn't sure wether the flower shop was actually open or not.
"Yes ?" Answered a young lady coming back from what seemed like a storage room.
"Can I have a bouquet of white roses ?" Cooper asked.
"Of course" the girl smiled before going towards the flowers. "Just white roses ?"
He thought for a while before nodding "Yeah"
While she was picking the flowers he looked around the shop. It was pretty small but everything was covered in flowers, all of different types, shapes and colours.
"Is it for a wedding ?"
The blond snapped back to reality.
"Sorry what?"
"The bouquet, is it for a wedding ?"
"...no?" Cooper frowned.
"Sorry, I didn't meant to be indiscret. We usually only sell white roses for weddings. It's quite unusual to sell white roses outside of this occasion." she apologised.
"Oh, they're for my partner" Cooper felt bad so he decided to make conversation. "We got into a fight, I'm not really good at apologising, I hoped flowers would be a good start. White roses are his favorites. "
Cooper bit his lip, he probably shouldn't have said he. But the lady smiled at him.
"I'm sure he'll love it. Do you wanna to put a card with a message in it ?"
"Can I ?"
"Yeah of course"
She gave him a card, the type that folds in two, and a pen, and went at the back again.
Cooper started to think. What could he wrote ? He was always terrible at apologies. It took him a while to find something.
When he finally wrote something that satisfied him he folded the card and waited. The shop keeper came back with a purple ribbon.

"You're done ?" she asked him.
He gave her the card and she placed it on a stick which she placed in the bouquet. She than put a sort of plastic around it and finished with the ribbon. She handed the finish product to Cooper and said :
"That'll be 12 dollars sir. "
(a.n.: i have no clue how much do flowers cost)

Walking in the airbnb the lunch club had rented, Cooper thought that it was really calm for once, before he heard Travis and Schlatt yell from upstairs. He placed the flowers down on the counter and went to see what they were doing.
"Hey Cooper !" Travis said. "We're playing uno."
Both of them were sitting on the floor, cards spread all around them.
"Where are the others ?" The skater inquiried deciding not to question the fact that they were playing with the cards turned over.
"They went out, don't really know where." Answered Schlatt shrugging.
Cooper went back down with the intention to find something that could be used as a vase.
In the end the closest thing to one he could find was a big glass that looked like a beer glass.
He just decided to put the bouquet in it without changing anything to it because it looked cute. He didn't even put water in the vase.
He went to sat down on the couch and put on the tv, trying to distract himself from his growing anxiety.
Maybe buying flowers was a stupid idea, maybe it was ridiculous.
Cooper was really starting to consider just throwing away the bouquet when the front door opened. Charlie, Ted and Noah were back with multiples pizza boxes.
"We brought back food you goblins" Ted yelled for Travis and Schlatt to come down. And as attracted by the smell of food they did came down, Travis running and almost falling in the staircase.
"Did someone bought flowers ? You guys know you're supposed to put them in water ?" asked Charlie. He was looking at the kitchen counter. Schlatt shrugged, way too interested in the pizzas to care. Charlie picked up the card.
At this moment Cooper wished he could become invisible or simply stop existing.
Charlie who had started to read stopped before the end and handed the note to Noah giving him a small wink.
Cooper was now hiding behind some random magazine he had picked up from the living room table.
Noah raised an eyebrow at Charlie taking the card he was being handed. When he took a look at the flowers he stopped. White roses. He looked at Cooper, than at the note.

I'm sorry Noah,
I really am.
I didn't mean all the
shit i said to you.
Do you know how many flower shops in L.A. sell white roses only on reservation ??
A lot.
I don't really know how to
apologies to you.
I hate fighting, especially with you.
I love you <3

-your very sorry bf

Noah smiled. He went to fill the vase with water and actually placed the flowers in it. Cooper was looking at him behind his magazine. After that Noah came back to the living room where everyone had started to gather around for the pizzas. Cooper went back to pretending to read whatever he had picked up. Noah sat next to him.
"Since when do you read backwards ?" he whispered.
The blond looked at the magazine which of course was backwards. He sighed and put it back on the living room table. Noah got closer to his hear and murmured : "I'm sorry to, about the fight." Cooper smiled and took his lover's hand in his.
"Thank you for the flowers" added the brunette.
"I can't believe you remembered the white ones were my favorites."
