Sunflowers (All Might/Toshinori Yagi x Reader)

An Encounter to Remember

I do have to say, the ceremony wasn't supposed to be much. Those who were coming sworn to secrecy about my groom, the location, and everything regarding it. Those on the guest list included my parents, David and his daughter, a few of my closest friends, my immediate family, Toshi's detective friend Naomasa, and a man that I didn't know who was written as 'Gran Torino/Sorahiko.'

I was fantasizing about the best day of my life so much that I didn't realize that someone had come into the store. I quickly looked up as I saw the figure of a well-dressed man walking around and observing the flowers. He had messy light hair and a strong build. By no means was he as buff as Toshinori...very few got close. He seemed to be confused for lack of better term.

I sighed softly, leaving my open notebook and colorful pens on the counter hidden partially behind a display. "Hi there, sir. What brings you in today?"

"Oh, hello, Miss... I was hoping to find flowers for a young lady that I'm taking on a date in a few hours." He gave me a smile.

"I can help with that. Looking for anything specific for her?"

He hummed, his eyes flickering over to one of the various cases. "I haven't the slightest clue what she likes."

I swatted my hand, chuckling, "Tell me a few things about this girl, I should be able to pinpoint what she might like. Believe it or not, people's favorite flowers often have meanings that indicate what they hold as values...if that makes sense."

He nodded, "I suppose it does. Care to give an example?"

I immediately thought of Toshi. "Yeah sure...my fiancee's favorite flowers are chrysanthemums and sunflowers. Chrysanthemums stand for chivalry and optimism, while the sunflower stands for adoration, loyalty, and longevity. I also just think he likes the color yellow, but..." I laughed and rolled my eyes.

He gave a soft laugh, "I think I understand... What flowers should I pick for a girl who is bubbly, enthusiastic, and affectionate?"

I loved playing match-maker. Hearing the way he almost monotonously gushed about this girl of his made my heart swell with joy. So cute. I saw a display of gardenias, slowly approaching it, "Tell me, sir, is she the sweet and innocent type as well?"

"I would say so."

"Then I have the flower just for you." I took a bouquet from the wrack and showed him, "Gardenias! Purity, sweetness, and enthusiasm! They also tell the person who received them that they're lovely!"

"Absolutely perfect. You're good at your job, Miss. I'll be taking these. How much?" He took the bundle in his arms and nodded, reaching into his coat for his wallet.

"I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that those will only be fourteen hundred yen due to the sale it's on...also I'm taking off some since you're going on a date. Romantics discount, you see." I winked, stepping behind the counter.

"Err...That's not necessary, really..." He rambled for a few seconds, mumbling. Wow, he was really taking that to heart, huh?

I waved my hand in front of his face to gain his attention again. "I insist!"

"Well, alright. I can't argue against insistence." He paid the discounted price, signing his receipt.

"Do you want me to include a free card with her name on it to make it more...you know, personal?"

He hesitated, "I think that would be nice. Her name is Inko."

I wrote 'Inko' and a small heart on a decorative card, inserting it into the bouquet. Then, he proceeded to the exit as a man more educated about flowers and romance.

"Have a wonderful time on your date..." I looked at his signature, "...Mr. Midoriya!"

"Thank you for your help!" He waved, smiling in a grateful way at me before leaving and setting out into the city.

He was an exceptionally strange man...but, I was glad to have helped him. I'm sure his date will go spiffingly, possibly leading to more and more dates, and eventually a marriage. Just like my circumstance.

With my wedding only a week and a half away, I went back to planning between customers.
