Flowers
“Hello, can I help you?” asks an older lady, appearing from the back room. She wears a straw hat with two sunflowers tied to it. “Yeah um. I’m looking for purple hydrangeas,” Bucky explains and the lady behind the counter nods. “A new delivery arrived this morning. A little moment.” She disappears back into the back room. Bucky continues to look around the shop. There are a variety of roses in different colors. There are pre-made bouquets of flowers in different sizes. There are potted plants.
He has just stuck his nose into a yellow flower when the lady comes back.
She carries a box and places it on the counter. She opens the box with a knife. “Purple hydrangeas,” she says with a grin, pulling one out and handing it over. Bucky carefully takes it and smells it. “These are beautiful,” he says, turning the flower in his hand. “How big should the bouquet be?” she asks and starts to pull out more. "Five...stems-" he says, not sure if that's the right word. “and some green stuff,” he adds. The woman nods and begins to tie the bouquet with nimble fingers.
“I hope the bouquet brings a lot of joy,” she grins and hands over the bouquet. "Yes I hope so too. Thank you"
“I brought you something,” Bucky calls as he enters the apartment. He keeps the flowers hidden behind his back. “A present?” Clint asks excitedly, looking at him from his spot by the window. Bucky nods and when he's within reach of Clint, he pulls out the flowers. A surprised expression appears on Clint's face, which is accompanied by a bright sparkle in his eyes.
“Purple hydrangeas,” Clint murmurs, reaching for the bouquet. “Do you like them?” Bucky asks, sitting down on the other side of the windowsill. "But of course-" Clint starts as he sticks his nose into the bouquet. "I'll make Wanda put an eternity spell on them so they don't wither".
