Angus the Survival Hunter X Reader: The Rose Series
Orange roses: Fascination, Enthusiasm, Desire
[Y/N] sat on the couch, constantly checking the clock. He was late. Of course, airport traffic was always terrible, and it was also possible they’d lost his luggage or something… The list of things that could be holding him back was just about a mile long and that only made things worse. They let out a sigh and began to rearrange the orange roses that sat in the vase on the table in front of them. He’d been gone for months and they guessed an extra hour or two couldn’t be all that bad.
It had felt like forever before they finally heard the sound of a key turning in the door, their head perked up and they looked over just in time to see Angus walking in.
“I’m home! Sorry I’m late you wouldn’t believe- oof!” He began to call in but was quickly cut off by [Y/N] nearly tackling him. “I guess, you missed me huh?” He laughed, dropping his bag so he could wrap his arms around them.
“Three months, of only being able to communicate by letters, of course I missed you.” They said, resting their head on his shoulder.
“I know, I’m sorry Love.” He spoke, gently rubbing circles into their back and resting his head on top of theirs. “But I’ve got good news for ya this time!”
“What’s that?”
“I’m not leaving again for a couple a months and during that time, I’m all yours.” He told them, laughing again as he felt them hug him tighter. “Are ya gonna let me go anytime soon or are we just gonna stay like this the whole time?” He asked.
“Like this.”
“Well, it’s sure gonna be hard to sleep standing, also those pretty flowers over there will die.”
“Oh right!” They quickly let go of Angus and spun around to look at the roses, they’d actually forgotten about those. “I bought these for you. I thought you’d like them cause-“
“They represent fascination and enthusiasm, right?” He asked, walking over to the table and looking the flowers over. “And desire too if I remember correctly.” He added quickly with a small wink, grinning as he watched them flush.
“That is- That is not what I was thinking when I got those.” They stuttered out, looking away form him before clearing their throat. “Do you like them?”
“I love them! Suit me perfectly don’t ya think?”
“Well, with the meaning of fascination and enthusiasm yeah.” [Y/N] looked back to him with a smile. “You certainly have enough of both, they’re two of the many things I love about you.”
“Awwww, now you’re being sweet on me.” Angus laughed, walking back over to them and loosely wrapping his arms around their waist. “Ya know, I find you fascinatin’. Maybe after I unpack, we can go out and see what I can learn from you.”
“You’re pickup lines are still just as horrible as always I see.” They laughed, making him scoff and feign a hurt expression.
“Oi, I had to really think about that one. If you don’t start appreciatin’ the work I put into those pick-up lines, I’m gonna just have to stop them all together.” He removed one of his arms from their waist just to wag his finger at them, but they just swatted it away.
“I can only hope.” They teased, placing a kiss on his nose. “Now go unpack mister, you’ve already made me wait an extra hour for you.”
“Oh, getting bossy now huh?” He laughed as they stepped back from him.
“Only when you make me wait and there’s food involved.”
“Sounds about right.” He said with a small nod, before turning around and snagging one of the roses from the vase, inspecting it before nodding in approval and taking it with him.
“Why’d you do that?” [Y/N] asked with a frown as he walked past them.
“I’m gonna try and press it, that way I can keep it with me when I travel and have a piece of you with me even when I’m a world away.” He spoke with a thoughtful look and [Y/N] could feel their face starting to heat up again.
“I uh… Right. I um, I like the sound of that.” Their head perked up suddenly as they had an idea, turning and walking to the table to grab another rose from the vase to give to him. “You think you could try and press two of them?”
Angus looked down at the second rose and took it without a second thought. It would be like a link between them when he was gone when he would look at the rose and think of them, they could do the same.
“Of course, I can.” He said, kissing their forehead before picking up his bag with his free hand to take to their room.
“By the way, Angus…” [Y/N] said to get his attention before he disappeared down the hallway. “I have a confession to make.” They sighed, rubbing the back of their neck.
“And what’s that Love?”
“I actually didn’t know what the roses meant. I just bought them because I thought they were really cool looking.” They admitted.
“…Really?”
“Yep, I had no idea they meant that. Sort of a happy accident really.” They shrugged with a laugh.
“Well, you still picked great and I still love them. Now, I should really get this unpacking done before you get too hungry. I know better than to deal with a ravenous wild animal.” He said, turning to walk away again.
“Hey!” They shouted, watching him quickly starting to sprint and hearing a muffled “Love you!” after the door to their bedroom was slammed shut. “You’re lucky I love you…” They muttered to themselves with a smile.

I didn’t really try to do the accent too much on this one, I tried to look something up like I did with the German accent but couldn’t really find anything... Anyway! Here I’m picturing that the reader and Angus have been together a rather long time. Plus I figured that of course the Survival Hunter would know all about plant meaning and such, so why not have the reader be clueless for once? Haha! Anyway, as always I accept any and all feed back, I hope you enjoyed the blurb and thank you for reading!
