There is a post floating around today that was mentioned as a possible one-shot prompt

Here is the post: Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says "How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?"

Warning: Super Fluffy

College AU

Riley manages the local flower shop in town. She stumbled upon the job one day while she was walking through town. She and Lucas have been a couple for the last several years. Riley has not yet met Zay as he was traveling the first few years she and Lucas were together.

"Lucas, I have been trying to get things, with Jexica, to progress for weeks! I'm nearing the end of my rope!"

"Zay, maybe she's just not that into you"

"Nah man. She likes what she sees, I know it. She wants to be with me…. but she's stalling."

"Have you considered that she might be looking to be wooed? Maybe not be so blunt? Not so Zay like?"

"Wooed? Man, what happened to you? Who the hell says wooed?"

"A guy who met the love of his life at 15. That's who says wooed. I would make a complete fool of myself if it would make Riley smile." Lucas says with a soft sigh.

"Man, this is going to be my new Lucas story. How Mr. Perfect became Mr. Whipped"

"Real nice Zay. Trust me, when you meet the right one? You would gladly become Mr. Whipped. And the best part? Knowing that she would do anything to make me happy too. So I guess you can say we are Mr & Mrs. Whipped" Lucas replies with a chuckle.

"Mr & Mrs. Whipped huh? What's next?

"Mr. and Mrs. Friar but that's still a year or so away. Listen, back to your woman issues"

"Woman issues? No… I don't have woman issues. I just want to get….ummm…. yeah woman issues. What do you suggest Mr. Whipped?"

"Let's go down to Riley's shop. She can help us put together a few that convey the right message… You can fix your woman issues and finally meet the future Mrs. Friar."

Zay arrives at the flower shop and meets Lucas out front. Peering through the door, Lucas sees Riley behind the counter helping customers. As always, when he sees her, his breath hitches and his heart skips a beat. Zay tries to spot Riley but can't see her through the crowd at the counter.

"C'mon Z. I will help you out until Riley isn't busy."

The two of them walk around the shop…. Lucas, being happily in love, can only spout off the romantic side of every flower they pass.

Zay can't help but roll his eyes every time Lucas speaks.

"Lucas, I think I need to find something on my own." Zay mutters. He's happy Lucas is in love and is so happy with Riley. He knows how tough their beginning was.

"OK Z. I'm just going to wander around and wait until Riley isn't busy. Then I will introduce you." Lucas meanders off thinking of a bouquet he can put together for Riley.

Looking around, Zay finds the front counter is now empty and the woman behind the counter is straightening the cards on the desk.

Seeing that Lucas isn't around and wanting to put an end to this madness, Zay storms up to the counter slaps 20 bucks down and barks "How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower? I'm not tryin' to write a damn sonnet or ode to love… I need to get laid" He winces and realizes that his delivery was not the best…he is just so damn frustrated. Thank goodness his mother wasn't around to hear that. She would bruise his backside, never mind that he was in college. He knows better. He was raised to treat women with respect.

The brunette looks up and without breaking eye contact says "Laid? I suggest you crawl up a chicken's ass and wait." She stares him down cooly waiting for a reply.

"Ummm…. Zay…meet Riley. Riley…meet Zay." Lucas announces from behind Zay.

Zay feels his cheeks heat and is now completely mortified "Umm, ok. Wow. Nice to meet you, Riley." Zay stumbles over his words and frantically looks around the room.

"What are you looking for Zay?" Lucas questions as he walks up to kiss Riley hello.

"There has to be a chicken around here somewhere" Zay mutters as he walks out of the shop completely embarrassed.

"So, that was Zay?" Riley asks Lucas as she wraps her arms around him

"Yes but I promise he isn't normally like that. This girl has him turned inside out." Lucas answers as he leans forward to rest his forehead against hers.

"Did I ever turn you inside out?"

"You? Me? Honey… you've turned me inside out and upside down since the day I met you and I wouldn't want it any other way." Lucas lifts her mouth to his for a soft kiss.

"You do the same to me Maddog. Tell Zay, unless she is a "woman of the night" the best "I want you" bouquet I can put together will cost him $30."

"Let's make a deal. His $20 and I'll give you a backrub"

"His $20, your backrub and a promise to never try to woo me using the Zay method. Final offer"

"I'll take it. I would never use the Zay method with the future Mrs. Friar"

"Good, because if you ever attempt to? The future Mrs. Friar will relegate Mr. Friar to the couch and will withhold all cuddles."

Lucas smiles wide and appears horrified "Withhold cuddles? Let me get Zay on the phone right now. I will make sure he knows that the Zay method does not work."

The two stand there wrapped in each other's arms, laughing and whispering while Zay looks through the window.

"I'd never admit this to him but I want what he has… I guess I need to up my game if I'm going to get the girl." Zay thinks to himself as he sends a text to Jexica

"Hey, Beautiful. Interested in a night out on the town? Dinner, dancing, walking under the stars?"

The phone rings in his hand, "'ello?"

"Hey Zay, it's Jexica sounds wonderful."

"Anything for you Jexica"

"Oh and one other thing Zay?"

"Yes?"

"Pack an overnight bag, I don't think you'll be going home tonight."

Zay hangs up and does a little happy dance. He looks back over his shoulder into the shop and catches Lucas' eyes. Lucas gives him a big smile and a big thumbs up. He doesn't notice Riley sending off one final text

"J- he's Luke's BFF. You know he wouldn't let you get hurt…especially since he knows he would have to deal with me. Have fun tonight and call me after he leaves in the morning."
