Worthless Masterpiece [Various!Arcane X Reader]

Perfectly Florist

"You're looking to buy something, right?" A little red-haired girl with a tooth gape smile nods, shy and unsure what to do.

She was such a sweet little girl, holding your hand as you walked her around your small store. A tug stops you to find those gunmetal eyes on a bouquet of sunflowers, adoring the large flower similar to our sun up in the sky. Shining bright as always.

Picking it up with your free hand, kneeling down to the level of this child, hand it to her with a kind smile a mother would give to encourage their own child. That tooth gape smile made your day as the child ran off with it for free. No payment at all.

"That kid just stole your flower."

"I know." Your smile grew as the child ran to give those flowers to her mother, the yellow petals matching her gown, warms your heart at such goodness "Losing one flower bouquet won't hurt anyone. Besides, aren't you not a fan of my hobbies, Viktor?"

He snorts, eyeing the flower decoration in your hair "Flower science isn't my cup of tea ya know. Besides, I have a favor to ask of you."

Viktor never asked you or anyone for favors. Not sure what it is, nod your head. (E/C) eyes sinking deep into ember brown eyes, exchanging your light unknowingly into his weaker ones. Instinctively, he averts his eyes away. Knowing if he stares to long he will not be able to say a single word. Your head tilt to the side, as soft and confuzzled as it was, was just the push needed to help Viktor say what he needs to say now.

"I,hrmm, w-would you join me at our lab tonight? To show you a-around and, well, yeah.."

A hum of thought left your lips. Thinking about it. Viktor fears of rejection rises every millisecond by the silence, only for it to stop when your hand selects a flower from your set up. Now before him to take.

"I'll love too! Would you pick me up or will I hitch a ride there?"

Viktor, amazed you accepted his offer, mumbles to himself "..Lucky me..."

"What you say?"

"I-I said,uh, I'll send a carriage to pick you up. Just be ready at sunset to depart!" Viktor quickly states as he accepted your flower of choice, a marigold, to which you smile and clap in joy.

Little time was shared with the two as more people came into your store. Viktor took his leave as you chatted with couples, teenagers, and little ones about flower choices and price range. Very sweet, more like skeptical people.

Well, that was till someone you never seen before enters your shop.

A woman adorns with gold hair pieces, make-up, and black and gold clothes. A chocolate skin goddess that graced your flower shop with such etheral elegance. A glimpse of her light hazel eyes that shine similar to divine ichor, or perhaps a daffodil, took an interest in tulips. Holding one in her fingers so carefully as she sniffs it. Admiring such a flower.

The purple tulip that represents royal admiration and elegance..

It seems she caught your lingering stare from across the store, holding the tulip as her eyes keen your way with interest "These tulips, how much are they?"

"Five flowers for ten and a full bouquet for twenty-six." It was easy to get to her without little ones running around, now reliazing she was taller than yourself by two inches.

"I see..." Her hand delicately place the tulip back, now handing you a sack of coins, heavy and true, she smiles slimly upon your puzzlement "I'll take these tulips, those peonies, and the rest of these begonia's. Will that be a problem madam?"

Actually, it won't be. All these flowers needed good homes to be sent off before they all began to wither away. This helps so much. She must be sent down to you from the heavens.
