Flowers for Downers || Lance McClain x Reader

Chapter One || Stupendously Smitten

It was a seemingly cloudy day as he walked. His earbuds swinging by with every step. So many thoughts going through his brain it was absolutely insane so he often shook his head as a method to get rid of them.

He noticed a drop fall on his nose he looked at the drop and then upwards, noticing the clouds were indeed dark which indicated it was about to rain but all of his analyzing was interrupted by the expected rain coming down on him. He quickly looked around and ran into the first shop he could find.

He then observed his surroundings and gathered that he had walked into a flower shop. He looked out the window and witnessed the heavy rainfall.

"So sorry about that, my mother, the owner had to go so I walked her towards the car...."

The voice was so smooth and collected, he turned around and..'Oh my god..' he thought as his mouth opened slightly.

She was so gorgeous, you were so gorgeous. What were you? It was as if your hair fell perfectly in line with your chiseled face. Your hair it was tied up in a messy bun, oh god.. He was so glad he ran into this store by now, because he was absolutely raptured by you, you were like no one else he's ever seen and he felt nervous..but he's usually never felt this nervous over a girl. Seriously, what were you doing to him?

"Oh it's alright..I just came in because of the rain so you're fine.."

"I see..It must've started to pour now because i didn't catch any rain.." You chuckled as you glanced out the window.

She chuckled. It was so pretty too..and soft, almost as if you were afraid to raise your voice in front of a stranger.

"Guess I'm gonna be staying here for a while, if it's not a problem!!" He said as he waved his hands dismissively.

"No of course not! Make yourself at home.." She sighed with a small smile.

'Even her sigh is pretty..'

"Oh thanks..I'll go ahead and make things less awkward..my name is Lance..!" he said with a charming smile.

You only giggled at his sudden introduction.

"Well I'm [Name].." you said as you made your way around the counter and sat down on a metal stool with your legs crossed.

She's stunning.. "Nice to meet you [Name].." he said with a smile as he made his way to sit down next to you.

You only smiled as you looked at him. You had to admit he was very good-looking, and so obviously your type but you wanted to get to know him a little better.

"Nice to meet you too..Lance."

'My name..it rolls of her tongue so easily..almost effortlessly.'

"Anyways..you said your mother is the owner of this flower shop right..?" Lance asked as he tilted his head, clearly curious about what she has to say.

"Yep but it's a bit complicated seeing as she has to go in and out of hospitals all the time.." sadness tinted her voice. 'Something must be going on with her mother..' He hated every ounce of what caused that sadness so his question was a bit hesitated but he eventually asked it.

"Is she okay..?" Your eyes widen at this.

"Yes of course! She's fine! It's my father he's not doing so well..sorry if i gave out the wrong impression..!" her words were stumbled over as she looked away.

"Sorry i asked..I hope he gets better soon.."

His consideration touched you so you flashed him a smile only to earn one back from him.

"The rain cleared up.." he heard you say as he quickly perked up and teared his eyes away from you only to look out the window, to the now clear sky.

"Oh well it was nice meeting you...[Name]!" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck and got up from the stool he sat on.

"I could say the same..!"

thump thump

"If I were to come back here would I maybe find you..?" he said with a grin.

"You betcha..! But you could also just find me on instagram.." she said as she looked at him with an entertained smile.

"That also sounds great.."

Lance walked out with enthusiasm as his eyes were lit up and his heart was pounding. In his pocket was your username. The fact he had gotten it so quickly just made him even more happier. This is a good step right? Of course it is..!

Oh dear how badly he just wanted to run back into the cute little flower shop and just stare at you, i mean just thinking about you got him a blushing mess..imagine staring at you and making you smile, he was just a boy in love.

His entire walk home was filled up with thoughts of the girl. He thought about her little chuckle, her smile, her cute [e/c] eyes.. He immediately grabbed his phone and tapped on his little pink instagram icon.

He reached into his pocket for a yellow piece of paper which had the username you had written. 'Damn even her handwriting is adorable' He found your profile and his eyes widened as he looked at your most recent picture and then at the caption, the caption sent him a blushing mess.

It was a picture of you with a yellow daisy balanced on your nose. It was posted just half an hour after he had left the shop so he could only assume the caption was about him.

The caption read.. "A guy talked to me today, a cute and nice one, what a day.."

Lance only placed his hand on top of his chest as he felt his face heat up and his heart racing.

"Holy fuck.."
