Fleur had pleaded, she had protested, she had even promised to do much more ridiculous things if she could get away with not doing this one and yet here she was, standing outside her mother's flower shop, roses lined up neatly in rows, bundles and bunches arranged around her.
Valentine's day. Oh how she despised it, too many people were spending too much money on things they didn't need so they could "express their love." Pfft, whatever. Picking up one of the roses, she spun it gently between her fingers, watching the petals sway briefly as they sat in wait, she'd be stuck here most of the day if her mother was in charge, which, in a sense, she was, but Fleur was also her own person with things to do... Such as watching TV and binging on ice cream, she had prior arrangements that couldn't be rescheduled.
What a pity...
Listening to the footsteps of people around her, she zoned in on a pair that had slowed and paused. Here we go and a one, two, three, just like she's practised.
"Hello! Would you like to buy a rose? The profits raised will be going to charity. It's also a..-" She had started, slowly rising from her seat, placing the rose off to one side as she gently lifted her head, eyes being met with gold, long hair cascaded over their shoulders, rose coloured glasses sitting across the bridge of their nose. "a..- a..- cu...-cute!"
Fleur flustered, face changing to match the colour flowers around her. The stranger chuckled gently and walked over, nodding their head as they placed down a coin. Fleur slowly moved to pick up one of the many roses around her, handing it over gently, watching as the stranger had pulled it up to their face, the flower itself hiding the smile on the others face.
"Thank you." "Ah... Yes. Thanks. You. Thanking you... Thank you too.." She muttered, her own brain buffering as she took a minute to catch up. Delicately the stranger moved the flower to their hair, a bright pop of red settled just over their ear before turning and walking off... Fleur watched them leave only letting her eyes pull away after hearing the soft light-hearted giggle from her mother.
"Took you long enough." "What?" "They've been trying to get your attention for months now..."
