"come on howl!" {Name} laughed as he tugged on the blonde males sleeve, " give me one second dear I just need to-" "no~! your over working yourself you damn workaholic, let's go too town a bit!" {Name} whined, howl didn't even try too protest, just the tone of his voice was enough for him too cave in "okay but then your helping me with cleaning this messy office later okay!"
Within seconds {name} had quickly changed into a puffy white shirt with some brown pants and a dark blue coat. Howl met him at the door.
"Where exactly do you Want too go dear?" howl questioned as he fumbled with the door settings " uhhh that place with the pretty train that drives on a track over the market!" howl laughed a bit at his childish tone and description. "okay there -" howl and {name} stepped through the door.
This was years ago at this point.
"woops sorry!" the {hair colour} haired male mumbled as he pushed past the people in the town, his hands filled with scrolls and baskets of food being soaked in the rain. He kicked the door of his shop open and closed it with his hip as he placed the stuff on the kitchen counter upstairs, taking off his coat and hanging it up by the fire place too dry." phew I was scared I was gonna drop things or the bread was gonna get soggy" he mumbled too himself.
Packing away the things by the kitchen and placing the scrolls on his desk. He went downstairs too tend to His small flower shop. Business was pretty slow as usual but he didn't mind, as long as he got enough too pay rent he was good too go, not too mention the fruits he sells makes alot of money these days.
He fumbled around with his delicate framed glasses, the chains of it decorated with small gemstones. He threw on a blue apron too protect his clothes from getting dirty and started tending too the plants.
Suddenly the slight ding of the front door bell rang "... A customer?" his face lit up and he stumbled through the heaps of plants too reach the front door, a young lady with white hair was admiring some Canterbury bells, making his way over, ofc knocking over some small plants and having too set them up again he made his way over too her
" hello! Well come too Green Bell how may I help on this rainy day?" he asked trying not too stutter, he hasn't had a customer is a whole week. The woman turned around and smiled " your flowers are well cared for, you must really have a dedication too your plants " she said in a silky smooth voice. He smiled" oh yes! I love my flowers dearly " he smiles, the door opened once again with a bell ringing being heard.
"hey Sophie sorry for taking so long I was just finishing things off with a client -" a tall man with black shoulder length hair walks in, turning too hug the white haired lady from the back and resting his head on hers too look at the shop keep." come on look at these gorgeous Fruacias! "the women smiled.
{Name} stumbled back a bit.His {eye colour} eyes carefully studied the man's face, it was identical too..." howl darling why don't we start a small flower garden on the castle! It'll bring life into the drowsy place! " the women beamed as she gently placed some in her basket.
It was him.
His black hair gently covered his eyes as he looked down, not in fear or angst the man has caused but a strong sense of abhorrence.
He fumbled with his glasses a bit before shaking his head and forcing a delighted expression " if your looking for flowers too brighten up a place I have just the thing!" he smiled, sophie smiled and nodded " oh please do show!" she beamed, howl standing next too her looking bored. Mc gently let his hand cares the petals of an edelweiss " these have the prettiest flowers and the colour looks great, it's a genetic mutation of other plants so thier pretty rare but durable~" he said in a forced happy tone.
" or many some lily of the valley would fit better? The beautiful small flowers they make look great with gentle rain drops on them " Sophie's eyes sparkled with delight. {Name} felt his heart throb a bit as he glanced over at howl. He caught eye contact with a rather confused looking howl before picking a flower" or mabye a stack of Narcissus would fit you better, hmm? " he said as he gently placed the flower in Sophie's hair causing her too giggle.
" oh howl these 3 would look great together! They'd look marvelous outside by the castle "
Ofcourse they would. That's what he wanted too plant by the castle. He mentally glared at howl but physically just smiled at the pair. " Hmm how much would that be?" howl said as he fumbled with his wallet shooting a glance too sphies basket of flowers. " around 200" Mc mumbled, howl raised a brow as he handed the money " have we met before? I can't help but feel like I recognize you" {name} felt his chest ache.
He doesn't even remember him. "... Just your local flower boy.. Nothing more~" he said rather gently, howl nodded. " well thank you Mr. Flower boy, I feel like spohie and I would probibly come here more now that she's picked up the hobby of gardening, so we'll have to make acquaintances " he said the last bit in a joyous tone. Mc nodded as sohpie waved as the pair left.
Since when was he back here.
