A/N Hello lovely earth dwellers! So I Abnegation Ravenclaw and I went to Seaward and it was so freaking awesome. I got a whale stuffed animal and I named it 'Shamuuuuuu'. With 6 U's. Plus I faced one of my like biggest fears (Going upside down) on this roller coaster and we went on twice, once in the second row and then once in the first.

Anyway, this prompt is on that I made up myself. I based it off of this super cute picture I saw and I thought that it would be cool.

Enjoy!

*Imagine person A is selling flowers on the side of the road in the late 70's.
Person B always stops and buys just one flower everyday on his way to work without fail.
After one month of buying flowers, person B gives the bouquet the person A.*

*Note: I was not alive during the 70's so I'm getting everything from Bing, sorry if it's incorrect.*

*Tris POV*

My bare feet burn against the concrete as I walk up and down one of the busier roads in town. I live only a stones throw away from a large meadow filled with all different kinds of flowers, so my Mother and I often go out and pick out large quantities of flowers and sell them for a little extra money. We average about fifteen dollars a day, which really isn't to bad considering half of the "flowers" are just pretty looking weeds. A car pulls up to my side of the road catching me by surprise. He cranks his window down and smiles at me.

"Selling flowers?" he asks. I saunter up to the car and rest my elbows against the open window.

"Yes sir, I am." I reply. "See any you like?" as he inspects the plants I get a good look of his face. The man as a sharp jaw with dark hair and the most stunning eyes I've ever seen in person.

"I think I'll take one of theses." he says, pointing to one of my favorites. A red tulip. I pull out the flower and place it in his hand.

"One dollar, please." he pulls out the bill and gives it to me.

"I don't think I caught your name." he puts the tulip carefully on the passenger seat and looks back at me.

"Tris," I answer. "What about you?"

"Tobias," I raise my eyebrows a little.

"That's a new one."

"I think it's German." he laughs. "Anyway, I think I need to be going. Hopefully I'll see you around."

"I'm working everyday." I say which makes him grin.

"Then I'll be seeing you around, Tris." he winks, then drives off.

I stay outside for a couple more hours, only making five dollars, not including Tobias'. I'll just have to hope Mother was better than me. My mustard yellow house comes into view and soon I'm stepping into the poorly air conditioned one-story.

"Mama, I'm home!" I call out.

"I'm in the kitchen!" she responds. I drop my bag onto the floor and put the extra flowers into a water filled vase. Mom turns around then frowns. "Sweetheart I've told you so many times how much I hate that shirt." I glance down at the denim crop top then back up to her.

"What's not to like?"

"I don't like...that." she gestures to the exposed part of my midriff. I laugh and kiss her cheek.

"You're so innocent." I smile.

"I am forty-seven year old woman. I am anything but innocent." she retorts with a smug look. "How do you think you and Caleb came into this world?" I gag dramatically which makes Mom hit my head with the handle of a spoon.

"I'm sorry, but it's gross imagining you and Dad doing the deed right down the hall from my room." Mom rolls her eyes and returns to stirring something in a small pot.

"Oh please. Like you haven't done it across the hall from us?"

"Actually, for your information. I do it when no ones home." I say jokingly. It's really no secret how squeamish I am when it comes to that subject. In fact I might be the only eighteen year old in the whole of Virginia who has never once had sex. Guess I was raised well. "What's for dinner?" I change the subject, hopping up to sit on the counter.

"Oh just some soup." she replies curtly. I cast a brief look into the garbage can and spot two empty cans of Chicken Noodle Soup resting on top. I sigh and lean my head on the cabinet. "Don't start getting all picky now. At least we have something. Speaking of, how much money did you make today?"

"Only six dollars. How much did you make?"

"Three." she tells me.

"Why do people not want flowers anymore? I mean, they're beautiful." I exclaim. Mom shakes her head and goes to ladle the soup into three sperate bowls. "What about Dads?"

"He's not going to be home in time for dinner. He might just heat it up or something." Mother carries hers and Calebs' bowl to the table while I take mine. One thing I've noticed lately is my Father coming in much later than usual. He claims it's because he's working longer for extra money, but if anything we have less money than before. I know Caleb and Mom have noticed as well but whenever we bring it up whoever will get a lecture on how 'times are hard and we're working as best as we can'. I don't think any of us buy it.

"I think we should stop using the microwave oven anymore. Save more money," I sneer.

"Why would we do that Beatrice?" she always uses this tone whenever she's getting irritated.

"If we don't have enough money to send Caleb and I to college then I don't think we should let Dad always heat his food up because he's to busy out fucking people instead of being home for dinner with his real family." I blurt out accidentally. Moms' mouth gapes a little then she quickly closes it and and nods slowly. My eyes widen in realization of what I said. "Oh my God, Mama, I am so sorry I-I didn't mean it-"

"Go to your room. No dinner tonight." she says quietly. Quiet is always worse with her. The way she barely whispers the words sets a stone in my throat, forcing me into silence.

"Yes ma'am." I put my bowl into the fridge and start towards my room. Caleb exits his and must see the fire burning in my eyes because he ignores me and heads straight for the kitchen. The moment I enter my room I change into a pair of pajamas and fall asleep.

"Mom, do you want to go with me today?" I ask Mother, picking up the bundles of flowers. As expected she ignores me, staring out the window. "Maybe next time." I mumble and head outside. Ever since the dinner a month ago, where I accused Dad of cheating right in front of Mom, she hasn't spoken more than twenty words to me. Only telling me what's for dinner or we have any plans for the day. But it's mostly just 'yes' or 'no' answers.

Shaking those thoughts from my head I head to my normal street and begin the selling. Within the first few hours I make ten dollars, shocking myself. Soon enough though, a familiar cherry red cadillac pulls up to the sidewalk and rolls the window down.

"Well hey, stranger." Tobias smiles, although I don't.

"Which one do you want today?" I ask blandly (Lol that auto-corrected to baldness).

"I think I'll go with my usual." I select the red tulip and he gives me the dollar. "Is something wrong? You seem upset." he steps out of his car, for this first time since I've met him.

"I'm fine." I say to him. "Just parental issues." he chuckles and leans back on his car.

"Boy do I know about those. What's up?" it feels odd opening up to a virtual stranger but in an even odder way it feels right.

"I think my Dad is cheating on my Mom and I accidentally blurted it out in the worst way possible. And now Mama hasn't talked to me in three weeks and I've seen almost nothing of my Dad and we're losing money and I don't think I'm going to college and that really sucks because I want to and-" I ramble. Tobias holds up his two hands in a 'Slow down. I literally have no idea what you're saying.' gesture.

"Okay so first of all, don't try to stop talking to your Mom. Actually, just keep bugging her she'll eventually talk just to tell you to shut up." he starts. I laugh, despite the tightness in my throat. "And about the whole Dad thing. Have you asked him about it yet?" I consider lying for a moment, but shake my head in defeat. "Why don't you? I mean, you guys might be getting it all wrong, you know.

"I guess." I murmur.

"Now finally, I have something for you." his words catch me off guard.

"Wait what?" I stutter.

"Just a sec." he opens his door and looks around his car for a moment, quickly pulling out an at least twenty-five flower bouquet of red tulips. There are few that are close to dying, but most are still healthy.

"What the hell?" is the first thing I say.

"You see, on the first I day I saw you and I bought the red tulip I planned out some big shitty romantic gesture but soon realized that I'm stupid. Apparently flowers die. Did you know that?" he asks rhetorically. I laugh and feel my cheeks flush. "So instead, I bought that bouquet and the ones that are dying are some of the more recent flowers you gave me."

"Thank you so much for these, b-but why?" I slur.

"I think you're kind of pretty." he admits, sticking his hands into his pockets and looking away from me.

"This conversation took the biggest turn." I chuckle. Tobias smiles then shyly meets my gaze.

"Would you like to go out sometime?"

"You barely know me!" I say half-heartdly.

"Then let me get to know you." I'm sure my face is beet red by now. I give the smallest of nods. "Perfect. What time should I pick you up?"

"Woah, woah. Tonight?"

"Yeah." he shrugs. "Is it not a good night?"

"No!" I say hurriedly. "Tonights a great night. How about seven?"

"Lovely." he kisses the top of my hand and returns to his car. "See you at seven, Tris." I can mange nothing more than a huff of air. He drives off leaving only a trail of spinning dirt.

A/N Not as long as I wanted it to be, but eh. At least it's an upload.
