A/N

Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed/followed/favourited! It means so much to me and I've decided I'm definitely continuing.

I'm aiming to update it weekly and I've got a friend hounding me to make sure I do it so I should be pretty consistent.


The morning air was brisk and dewy, Lance pulled his jacket tighter around himself and practically ran down the street to get to the shop and warm up. Regardless of how long he'd been doing this he still wasn't use to the early starts, he fumbled sleepily with the lock of the grates that protected the front of the store before unlocking the door and walking into the shop. He shivered at the change in temperature; he flicked on the lights then made his way to the back of the shop where he swapped his jacket for his green work apron.

He checked his watch, it was 8:05, he had little less than an hour before the shop opened, Lance yawned loudly before going about setting up the shop. He went around ensuring all the flowers had sufficient water in them, he then set up the displays outside the shop and pulled down the blinds; he was just filling up the till when the bell rang signalling someone had entered.

He looked up to see Hunk close the door and flip the sign to open, Lance checked his watch again; 9:00, on time as always. He grinned as the larger man made his way across the shop to him, smiling brightly (mornings were always so kind to him) and carrying a brown paper bag in his hand.

"Hunk! Buddy! What have you got for me today?" Lance said cheerfully, closing the till and turning to face him.

"Something special." Hunk winked placing the bag down and headed towards the back of the shop to get ready.

Lance grabbed the bag excitedly and opened it, pulling out a travel mug full of Hunk's special brew coffee. He took a big swig of the warming liquid, burning his tongue a little in the process, and sighed happily.

"Sweet mercy how I've missed you so" He hummed lovingly, before turning his attention back to the bag.

He pulled out a small tub and opened it; inside was a puff pastry lightly dusted with powdered sugar, he took it out (It was still warm!) and took a bite. He nearly moaned at the delicious flavour that exploded in his mouth, beautifully cooked pieces of apple infused with cinnamon and other spices in a sweet sticky syrup made from the apples own juices had greeted him and it was everything he had ever wanted. Hunk walked back into the main room and laughed when he saw Lance face frozen in awe, Lance began eating it enthusiastically spluttering something incoherent in between bites.

"Dude calm down" Hunk said laughing again "And don't speak with your mouth full"

Lace swallowed the last of it and grinned. "Hunk, will you marry me?"

"Sorry babe, I'm taken" Hunk chuckled, showing off the gold band on his left hand.

"Damn I wasn't fast enough; do you think Shay would mind sharing?" Lance asked.

"You could ask her" Hunk said as he walked over to the flowers and began picking some out for a bouquet that was ordered to be collected later today. "But do you think you could handle sharing me with a baby too?"

Lance choked on his coffee "Are you serious?!" he asked excitedly.

"mm-hmm" Hunk nodded turning toward Lance with a giant grin and an arm full of flowers. "Due in January"

Lance waited for Hunk to put the flowers down onto his work station before he embraced his friend. "Congrats man, they're gonna be the cutest winter baby to ever exist!"

"Thanks buddy" Hunk squeezed Lance tightly before letting him go and turned to work on his arrangement. "So, how was work yesterday?"

"I'm seriously considering only opening 5 days a week" Lance sighed looking through the order list he had printed out.

"That bad huh?" Hunk said as he snipped the end of a flower stalk.

"It was so boring, expect when-"At that moment the door slammed violently open, the bell rang incessantly, and a banshee of a woman burst in and ran towards Lance, slamming a bouquet down onto his station.

"How dare you!" She shrieked "How dare you make this! Fuck you!" She screamed as she stalked back out the shop.

"Holy shit" Lance mumbled, staring shell shocked at the door. There was a beat of silence before Hunk spoke up.

"So boring eh?" He looked incredulously at Lance and crossed his arms, waiting for an explanation.

Lance shook his head and looked down at what the whirlwind had slammed in front of him; he instantly recognised it. He gingerly picked up the mess of carnations, candytuft and tansies before he turned and handed it to Hunk, Hunk hesitated before taking it but decided to inspect it while he waited for Lance to collect himself. Lance sighed and began to tell the story about how he was commissioned to make a 'Fuck you' bouquet.

"So clearly she was the intended recipient" Lance said rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly while Hunk nodded in understanding.

"I wonder how she knew you made it" Hunk questioned staring intently at the arrangement. Lance noticed his business card was still tucked into the black ribbon, he reached out and inspected it; it looked like it had been stabbed repeatedly.

"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this was her clue" Lance handed the card over and Hunk chuckled.

"Yeah that would do it" Hunk turned and put the bouquet in a spare water pot "It's really quite beautiful, how much did you get for it?"

Lance blushed and looked away awkwardly, "It was, er, on the house" Hunk laughed loudly.

"Let me guess, it was a cute girl that asked for it" Hunk smirked putting his hands on his hips.

"No!" Lance said a bit too loudly, looking flustered. Hunk arched an eyebrow. "It was a cute guy" He mumbled, blushing when he realised he said it out loud.

"Typical Lance" Hunk chuckled, shaking his head. Lance huffed and went about making himself look busy.

The rest of the day went without a hitch, no more screaming banshees, no more mystery men, just regular normal customers. Every time Hunk tried to breach the subject of freebee bouquets, Lance would just walk away and pretend to be busy or turn the subject onto Hunks long awaited new arrival.

It was five minutes before closing when they heard a knock at the door, they lock the door 10 minutes before 5pm to stop any last minute customers from coming it, but Lance recognised who was on the other side requesting entry. He smiled as he turned the lock and opened the door; he stepped aside and let the person in.

"Well if it isn't angry mullet, need any more fuck you bouquets?" Lance teased as he closed the door, Hunks head shot up at Lance's remark and he smirked knowingly. Lance did his best to ignore him and turned to face the newcomer who was glaring at him.

"Do you always insult your customers?" He asked, annoyed. Lance laughed at him and smiled brightly.

"Well to be fair you never mentioned your name"

"Yeah well neither did you but I didn't call you lanky florist" The man said crossing his arms, Lance spluttered unable to respond. They both turned when they heard laughter coming from next to them, Hunk had made his way across the room and was now standing close to them.

"Ignore him, he's a bit of an idiot" Hunk said with an eye roll and he held out his hand. "I'm Hunk"

"Keith" Keith said taking Hunks hand and giving it a firm shake, he then turned to Lance expectantly.

"The name's Lance" He said snapping out of it and giving Keith his best smile. "How can we help?"

"Well, I actually wanted to come by and thank you for yesterday." Keith began, rubbing his arm nervously while his eyes scanned the room. "I felt bad for taking the bouquet for free and-"

He stopped speaking suddenly and froze, his eyes had widened in shock as he stared at something on the other side of the room. Hunk and Lance shared a confused and concerned look before turning back to Keith in the hopes he'd continue.

"She came here didn't she" Keith whispered slowly, Lance followed his gaze and notice he was staring at the wilting bouquet they had put in a pot and forgotten about.

"The banshee? Yeah she came in this morning, flipped me off and slammed the bouquet in front of me" Lance said happily while Hunk chuckled. "Clearly I had done a good job"

"Oh God I'm so sorry" Keith looked mortified which amused Lance greatly. "What can I do to make it up to you? I could-"

"Bip bip bip bip bip" Lance said waving his hand to stop Keith from talking. "Chill dude no harm no foul, you don't need to make it up to me"

"Can I at least take you out to get coffee? As a thank you and as an apology now I guess" Keith looked back at the bouquet with troubled eyes. Lance pouted his lips, considering the offer.

"Okay deal, throw in a cake too cos I'm starved" Lance added cheekily, earning an eye roll from Hunk.

"Of course" Keith said eagerly, he looked so relieved that Lance had accepted his offered that it caused Lance to laugh.

"Hunk, are you okay to close up by yourself tonight?" Lance said turning to face his friend while he undid his apron.

"Yeah course I am" Hunk said breezily. Lance grinned and ran to the back room to dump his apron and grab his jacket. When he came back through Hunk was holding the door open for them.

"Thanks man" Lance said giving Hunk a high five.

"No problem, have fun on your date" Hunk smirked. Lance spluttered and quickly pushed a blushing Keith out of the door and away from Hunks booming laughter.
