"Hi, excuse me."

The voice is soft, hesitant, beautiful, and Sirius turns around from where he's wrapping a bouquet of flowers to put in the shop window. The scent hits him before he even lays eyes on the other man. The smell of a perfect alpha, just drawing him in.

"Yes, hi, I'm all yours," Sirius replies, his eyes sweeping over the Alpha in front of him. Tall, sandy blond hair, amber eyes. Hell yes. He flutters his eyelashes and pushes a dark curl from his face. "What do you... desire?"

"Oh. I need a special bouquet of flowers," the alpha says, smiling widely, though his cheeks are a little red.

Sirius nods, pushing his sleeves back up past his elbows. "Right, so, what are you thinking?"

"Roses. Pink. Pink roses. Just cute. It's for the most special woman in my life. It's her birthday and... whatever your best flowers are. I mean, that makes no sense." The guy laughs softly. "Oh, and also... I... I would like another... another flower. Just... what is your most romantic one - that you personally find romantic?"

"Let's work on one problem at a time," Sirius says. The man is nervous, stuttering like hell, but Sirius loves it. He smiles widely, feeling very jealous of whatever woman has this sex-on-legs Alpha. Sirius would give up his motorcycle just to climb this man like a tree. "I'm Sirius, by the way."

"Remus," the man replies.

Sirius starts to pick up flowers and Remus points a few out that he thinks are nice. It's quite cute really, the amount of effort Remus is putting into this bouquet. He's seen people come in and just grab a ready-made one at random.

This guy actually cares about the flowers.

When the bouquet is made up and tied with a ribbon, Sirius turns to the second problem. As Remus points out the various flowers, Sirius lists their meanings and what they symbolise.

"Ranunculus," Sirius says, at some colourful, swirly flowers. "They're also called buttercups. They symbolise charm, attraction and radiance."

Remus nods. "One of those is perfect. Can I have the ribbon to... to make it nice myself?"

Sirius laughs. "Help yourself," he says, showing Remus to the little packaging station. It only takes Remus a minute to wrap a ribbon around the flower, and he heads around the till to pay for his flowers.

"So, who's the lucky woman?" Sirius asks, nodding at the bouquet.

"My mum," Remus says, grinning widely. "She grows a lot of flowers, so the bouquet is mostly about the sentiment. But... yeah, it's her birthday."

"So... your mum is the most special woman in your life?" Sirius asks. It's actually so adorable. "Not a girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend? Oh, I'm... I'm single," Remus tells him, blushing. "So... do you have a card with your... your shop phone number on in case... I might need more flowers?"

Sirius grins and nods. He turns around, grabbing one of the business cards. Without Remus seeing, he flips it over and notes his name down on the back with a little heart, and scribbles out his mobile number.

He hands it over and Remus shoves it into his wallet, eyes fixed on Sirius.

"So, that means you'll be back? I can't wait," Sirius says, his smile widening. Adorable and single. Yes, Sirius is going to keep this Alpha.

Remus grabs the flower that he purchased and he holds it out. "It might be really cheesy because you work in a flower shop, but... this is for you."

Sirius takes a moment before reaching out. "Actually, no-one has ever given me flowers before," he admits. "Thank you."

"Cool. Great. It was nice meeting you. I'll... I'll be back to..." Remus' cheeks are even redder now. "I'm going to need more flowers soon." He practically runs from the shop and Sirius grins after him.

'He's adorable when he's flustered', Sirius thinks to himself as he starts to tidy up. He's certain that Remus will be back soon, and Sirius can't wait.
