flowers and coffee.

[longwinded]

[Even when John is off the clock, he is really on the clock. In Rose's mind anyways. His latest mission while he just happens to be around is to go two blocks down to the local floral shop to pick up the flowers for the shop this week. Rose would usually be the one to do it, however; she was already rather busy today. So John takes the short walk down to the floral shop himself.

Once he is actually inside the shop he takes a moment to appreciate the beauty of the plants. Hey- no one is up here anyways. Might as well look at all the pretty roses, lilies, and tulips. He might have actually forgotten his original goal in all of this.]

[Wow, that's kind of really creepy. You know he'll talk to you if you approach him, right? No need to go all creepy on him and stalk him like this, John.

But Dave is busy actually doing his job, so he hasn't noticed the watching.]

[longwinded]

[Truthfully John is intimidated by Dave, like he just saw him a little over an hour ago. Wouldn't it be more creepy to just like go here straight after work? Like. Whoa. How creepy is that.

Good because John is now just kind of going to be here, and maybe think about leaving before he mans up.]

[knightime]

[Except Dave turns and he spots John. Sorry, no more admiring that butt of his if that's where you were looking.] You just gonna stand there and stare or you actually gonna head over here?

How long you been here?

[longwinded]

[Mother of fuck. he was so not admiring that nice ass Dave has. Nope. Just admiring that beautiful flower arrangement. Reluctantly John heads over.]

I was staring at the flowers, just so we're clear. Okay?

[L i e s.]

Not long. Maybe ten minutes.

[More like half an hour.]

[knightime]

Of course you were. Just enjoying the view I'm sure. [He totally knows you were doing more than just admiring the flowers.]

I guess that's not too long. You still could have said something.

[longwinded]

Yes, I was enjoying the endless rows and tables of well tended to flowers. It took my breath away. [Keep assuming that Dave.]

Well, I was going to. But you looked pretty busy.

[knightime]

I highly doubt that. You make it sound like you've never seen a plotted plant before. [No.]

I was only watering plants. I can multitask, believe it or not.

[longwinded]

Never have I ever seen a potted plant as beautiful as yours. [Yes.]

Well, we're talking now. So. That is all that matters, right?

[knightime]

That sounds like a really terrible pick up line. [Don't literally pick him up. He knows he's short, but that's just being a dick.]

Yeah, but it doesn't stop you from being a huge creep just a moment earlier.

[longwinded]

It might be, you never know. [Oh, he's tempted as all get out to pick Dave up. That is just the thing.]

I wasn't creeping, oh my god.

[knightime]

We've barely met. [You work quick, don't you John.]

I don't believe you.

[longwinded]

Met enough at this point. I came here, you came there, I came back here. That's three times Dave. Third time is the charm, right? [John gives a little wink. Perhaps he does.]

You should believe me.

[knightime]

Are you insinuating that you want something out of this, John? Is that what this is all about? [He's going to play coy with you until you're upfront about what's up.]

[longwinded]

I could be implying a couple of things, but who really knows. No one can ever be too sure of what is running through my head. [Daaaave, don't do this.]

[knightime]

I have no idea what you're talking about, dude. [Dave laughs as he goes to turn off the hose.] If you got somethin' to say, you should really say it.

[longwinded]

You sure man? Because it would be really dumb to say this kind of thing.

[That he took one look at Dave and instantly just got this stupid crush on him. Yeah that would be dumb.]

[knightime]

Not my fault. You either spit it out or I continue to not know what's up. Your choice man.

[longwinded]

Let's leave it like this. I fancy you. I don't fancy a lot of people. But you. I fancy.

[knightime]

We just met. You fell pretty fast.

[longwinded]

I wouldn't say I've fallen quite yet. I've just taken a high interest in you. You got these cute little quirks, and yeah. You caught my eye.

[knightime]

Shit, but you don't waste anytime to make it known do you? So what exactly do you want to do about it?

[longwinded]

I haven't even found out if you're okay with me taking a liking to you in such a way. So tell me Dave. How do you feel about this?

[knightime]

I don't know. I am but an innocent maiden raising flowers. You're a bad little city boy trying to take my virginity.

[longwinded]

Oh come on Dave. Don't you start playing coy with me. I'm a barista at Rose's little coffee shop, and you're the young maiden who delivers the flowers weekly.

I would treat you to coffee, but I can't drink it made by anyone but myself now.

[knightime]

God, you're so fucking pretentious. You're those assholes that come fifteen minutes late with coffee aren't you?

[He scoffs a bit.] I'm free tomorrow night, if that's what you want to know.
