*PATCH HAMILTON / flowerseller !
THE COOLER WEATHER BRINGS IN A CHEER THAT IS LESS FIZZY THAN THE POP OF SUMMER , rather it is one that warms the body from the inside , like a sip of chai tea . spring brings in the sprouts , the new life & rebirth , summer promises full blooms & sunshine & joy . but fall , she must confess that it is her favorite season , the breeze cooling & the leaves taking on their gilded tones of red & gold & orange . her shop is radiant with these same colors along with a few others —— goldenrod , chrysanthemums , marigolds , roses —– all of them vibrant & healthy & singing with autumnal mood . this mood seeps into the bounce of her step , the low hum beneath her breath as she works , smile permanently etched upon ruddy lips .
the busyness of the afternoon has slowed to a steady thrum , & the jingle of the bell is not unexpected when it rings . this particular figure though has her grin widening to an expression of delight ! ( she wasn’t expecting newt today – what a lovely surprise ! ) her expression is quick to morph into a mix of shock & concern when he trips , face hitting the tiles in a rather comical fashion . flats click quickly , & the florist is kneeling down , finger pressing to his leather clad arm . ❝ ————- are you okay ?? goodness gracious newt , if you wanted my attention you could have just shouted hello ! seriously – are you okay though ? ❞
RIGHT ARM THROBBED IN PAIN , but it was nothing compared to the beating of his heart once the florist makes her way over to him. oh god , leave it to his clumsy behavior to make things more difficult for him , eyes unable to look at the woman as she approaches , though the scent of light flowers is unmistakable. goodness , he only hopes that whatever happens next , at least this little blunder could be somewhat forgotten. a light , airy chuckle leaves his lips , though it soon dissipates into a slight hiss ------ her hand on his shoulder causing a slight bit of pain. nothing was broken , but it was incredibly sensitive. oh newt , you big baby !
❝ YEAH , YEAH. next time , i’ll bring in a marching band. if anything it’ll make my appearance less painful. ❞ with a weak laugh , the biologist finally forces himself to look up at the florist fully , eyes widening at their close proximity. good thing there was no one else in the shop , or this could be considered a bit of a strange scenario to walk into. cheeks radiate a pink tint as he smiles at patch , not at all attempting to lift himself off the floor ( though he really should ). ❝ hey uh , i know you weren’t expecting me or anything but uh , i wanted to ask you something. ❞ oh god , here we go. deep breaths newton , relax. better that he do this now than never , despite the scenario being less than idea but , hopefully she would understand. ❝ we’ve known each other for a while , yeah ? i was wondering if maybe , you could find some time in your busy schedule to like , pencil us in for a dinner date ? my treat ? ❞ uh oh , cheeks are turning into a darker shade now , gazing longing at her facial expressions for some sort of clue. did she approve of not ? the anticipation was killing him. ❝ you don’t have to if you don’t want to , but uh , i thought it would be nice. something different , you know ? ❞
