I step into a vibrant shop, sighing as the Spain heat wore off and disappeared as the AC hit me in a whoosh of air. I was immediately hit with the aroma nourished dirt and plants.

I looked around at the vibrant plants and flowers surrounding me. I look around until I see a woman at the back of the counter.

"Hey Samantha,"

"Hey." She responds.

"Need help?"

I could see her struggling to put water in a pot while she was holding it. She looked at me with an exasperated look an I chuckled walking over to help her.

I grabbed the porcelain and grunted and the weight transferred into my arms. She, agonizingly slowly, watered the pot.

We set it down and I sigh in relief. Samantha laughed.

"You breaking a sweat Lance?"

I looked at her, irritated. We snapped our head toward the doors as we heard a ding of the doorbell and multiple people rushed in.

I both looked at each other, grinned, that raced towards the people. I asked one with a raven mullet. He's cute. I smirked at said,

"How can I help ya, cutie?"

He looked at me with a blank expression he looked around him and pointed to him.

"Me? But I'm not cute..."

I almost facepalmed right there right in front of him.

"Uhh, I'm here with my brother Shiro to get some flowers for my brother boyfriend.."

"Oh! And is there anything you need?"

"Not reall—"

I cut him of as I dragged him by his wrist. I could hear Samantha and Shiro laughing.

"He have peonies, roses, foxtails, orchids, tulips..." I said.

I peeked over and saw him looking around, his face blank. He's going to be a hard one... I looked straight into his eyes and looked in awe as I saw a violet color. He looked back in my eyes confused.

I chucked. You sure are oblivious.... I grab his arm and pulled him inches away from my face.

"Are you a lightbulb? 'Cause you really turn me on..." I growled.

"I'm not a lightbulb, you idiot. Is there something I'm missing or are you actually just that stupid..?"

I looked at him appalled. Wow. He's going to be a challenge....

But I'm willing if I'm going to get him as a reward.
