Nya su! I'm so happy for the reviews and positive feedback! I love writing this story! X33

On the issue of Kiku's pet, I have decided even if Pochi(?) really is a dog (Which I'm pretty sure is not the case, because someone mentioned him being a cat) I will keep 'Yuki' a kitty cat! lmao (I'm a Cat person)

Moving on.............

Summary- When Kiku's favorite flower shop closes down, he finds a new one. There he meets Alfred, a part-time hire helping out the crazy russian who owns the shop. When Kiku accidentally kills the owners entire stock of Sunflowers, he too becomes a part-time hire to repay the debt. AmericaXJapan and PrussiaXRussia

Warnings: The uber duper awesome Gilbo. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! X3


Chapter Two- You've been Hired!


"I'm sorry. It was my fault. It was a accident!" Kiku rushed out.

Two pairs of eyes turned to look at him. One lit up as he realized who it was and one narrowed his violet-colored eyes at him. The new man had cream-white hair and striking purple eyes. Despite it being summer, he was wearing a white scarf around his neck. Kiku watched curiously as the man reached behind him and pulled out a steel pipe.

"Несчастный случай, да? Теперь должен быть другой 'несчастный случай'." The man suddenly smiled. It looked very wrong.

Kiku gasped and took a step back. The steel pipe was for him!

Kiku took another step back as the violet-eyed man stepped fowards, "I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to! You see, I was trying to get my ca-"

"You killed my sunflowers." The man giggled out in a creepy manner, raising his steel pipe, "Now you die.

Kiku let out a gasp and flinched as the man rushed at him.

"Stop Ivan!"

Alfred grabbed the man from behind and squeezed his arms tightly around the bigger man's waist. The man called Ivan looked behind him at Alfred to find Alfred looking guilty and staring sideways; avoiding his gaze. Ivan raised his eyebrows then smiled.

"It was your fault, wasn't it Alfred?" He pulled out of Alfred's grip and lifted his pipe, pushing it below Alfred's chin to make him look up at him.

"So I forgot to switch the chemicals over to water! Big deal!" Alfred rushed out, turning pale. Apparently, it was a big deal after all.

"Alfred!" The taller man growled out. Alfred flinched and gave a uneasy smile.

Kiku felt bad for Alfred, and didn't want him to take the blame. He gave a small cough. The two men looked over at him and were suprised to see Kiku bow to them.

"If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know!"

"Do hmmmm? Da, there is!" The man snapped his fingers and chuckled out loud.

"Ivan...." Alfred warned, shooting a worried look at Kiku.

"Relax comrade. You!" The man pointed at Kiku, "Shall work here part-time to repay the debt!"

"Really!?" Kiku's eyes widened with shock and then he broke into a small smile.

This was great. He feared he would be sued or something. But to work at this flower shop? What great luck he had!

The man smiled back and then held a hand out to Kiku. Kiku took it and was shaken roughly, the grip a little too tight. Luckily for him, the other man let go first.

"Very good. My name is Ivan Braginski and I am the owner of this store."

"It's very nice to meet you Mr. Braginski." Kiku responded with a bow.

"Yes well, I guess I can have you start today. Alfred here can-"

"YO YOU DAMN RUSSIAN!"

Kiku jumped about two feet in the air, startled by the shout that had cut Ivan off. He noticed Ivan cringe and grit his teeth, looking very annoyed. A few seconds of loud stomping and then a man appeared out of thin air, throwing his arms around Ivan's neck. Kiku was amazed. It was a albino! He had shocking white hair and crimson red eyes that flashed brightly. He was wearing a short-sleeved blue shirt but Kiku was curious to see that, he too, sported a scarf. He also strangly had a baby chick on his head, nestled in his hair.

"Hey Gilbert!" Alfred cried out, a huge grin on his face.

"Yo! Still the awesome flower man?" The albino laughed out, giving Ivan another squeeze. Ivan began to look really scary.

"Of course man!" Alfred gave a high five to the man.

"Get off of me right now Gilbert. Before I resort to violence." Ivan spat out.

The albino laughed and kissed Ivan on the cheek. Kiku feared for the man's life when Ivan froze then suddenly swung his pipe down, aiming for the albino's leg. The man let go of Ivan and ran out of the greenhouse, and with a dark chuckle, Ivan followed quickly. It was just Kiku and Alfred in the room now.

"Is he..." Kiku glanced past Alfred out the door, "Going to be okay?"

"Who? Gilbo? Yea! He does this all the time." Alfred laughed and waved a hand in dissmisal.

"I see...." Kiku wasn't so sure.

"So! Since you are going to start today, I guess I can just have you finish up watering the plants."

Alfred walked over to cupoard by the doorway and pulled out another green apron like the one he was currently wearing. He tossed it to Kiku who caught it with one hand (his other still holding Yuki, who had become unnaturally quiet during the whole episode) and then he closed it back up and walked over to Kiku.

"Umm....what of my cat, Yuki?" Kiku looked down at Yuki who was looking at Alfred in interest.

Alfred stared down with eyebrows scrunched in thought. He looked back up to Kiku and gave a shrug of his shoulders. Kiku sighed and petted Yuki who began to purr.

"I could take him back home, if that's okay with you?" Kiku mumbled out.

"Sure! Can I come along? I have to stop by the market to pick up some things for Ivan anyway."

"Uhh....I guess so...." Kiku glanced away from Alfred's bright blue eyes and blushed slightly. Just great, he was already developing a crush for this man. What was wrong with him!?

A crash was heard from inside the shop followed by a string of angry remarks in russian. Laughter rang out and another crash was heard.

"We better go then, it could get ugly!" Alfred gave a false shiver and grinned down at Kiku.

Alfred turned around and headed for the door.

"Meow!" Yuki bumped his head against Kiku's chest then looked over at the retreating Alfred.

"I did not plan that Yuki! He just decided to come!" Kiku whispered out angerly.

"What was that?" Alfred turned his head to stare at Kiku in confusion.

"No- Nothing!" Kiku caught up to Alfred and together they left the greenhouse, past the two men who were still going at it, and out of the store.


Gosh I failed majorly for this chappy! I even stopped writing it and watched a string of aph videos for like, ten minutes! lmao.

Please Review! REVIEWS ARE LOVE!
