Hidge Week Day 7: Free Day
[[I ended up doing a Flowershop/Tattoo Parlor AU! Thank you kindly for the suggestion @proxypunch]]
**(It’s a little longer so it’s under a cut again)**
The flower shop is slow going today. No major holidays or weddings scheduled. Means that Hunk spends most of his time wandering about the store, reorganizing plants and stacking pots. Recently he’s moved the potting desk over towards the window so he can at least have a view as he works.
Cars passing, couples walking arm in arm, delivery boys on their bikes with a box of pizza precariously balanced on their handlebars. It’s a nice day and if the tree out front of the store is any indication, there’s a nice breeze too. Might not be a bad idea to prop the door open and sweep off the entry. He’s about to when she walks out of the tattoo parlor across the street.
He’s seen her a couple of times while out sweeping. Pretty girl, short and thin with haircut and styled with a bit of flip to it. Thick glasses and expressive eyebrows. Always in tank tops and khaki shorts with a flannel shirt tied around her waist. Shows off the numerous tattoos on her body.
A full sleeve on one arm and a half sleeve on the other. Her calf on one leg is covered to the knee with a small tat over her ankle on the other. The sleeve over her arm extends over to her chest and collarbone too. Hunk’s never seen them up close enough to know what they’re of but he imagines they’re nice.
She often leaves around noon to hit the hot dog stand at the corner. By the time she walks back she’s usually put away two chili dogs and a soda. Then she steps back into the parlor for her next client. She always seems to be busy with clients. He expects that she’s heading to lunch now but she’s crossing the street. Which is a little weird. There are no food places on this side. Just flowers, laundry, and a clothes shop.
She stops in front of the family flower shop, eyes the hours, and then tentatively peeks her head inside.
“Hello? Anyone here?” she asks. Hunk steps over to the door while wiping potting soil off his hands onto his apron.
“Welcome to The Garrett Family Greenhouse,” Hunk says and she enters the rest of the way. “Can I help you find something?”
She’s even prettier up close. The sleeve tattoo is nothing but microchips and wires and metal making her arm look a like it belongs to a cyborg. The part that extends over her chest shows a gear in the shape of a heart. Very futuristic.
“Yeah, this is a long shot but, do you have a…” she opens a small sketchbook the size of journal. “...a butterfly jasmine orchid?”
“Oh wow, uh, that’s...very specific,” Hunk nods and gestures out a single pointing finger. “Actually! Just a second!”
Hunk goes into the back and into the miniature hothouses. What a coincidence that she’d want one of these. The only reason he has one in the first place is because his friend needed one as the centerpiece in a wedding arrangement. He just so happens to have one left.
“Will this be all?” he asks as he brings the flower to the register.
“Yeah,” she nods as she pulls out her wallet and slaps down a debit card.
While ringing her up he can’t help but notice the way she’s dissecting the the flower with her eyes. Breaking it down with a slight purse to her lips. He hands her the receipt and she reaches for the plant.
“Glad it’s going to a good home. What kind of hothouse do you have?” he asks with a smile. She looks a little confused as she raises a brow. “The best temperature to house those at is about 80 degrees fahrenheit and a 60% humidity. Full sun is best. Oh! You know what? We have some potting soil that’s great for orchids. Whenever it gets too big and you want to repot it let me know, I can even do it for you if you’re worried about it getting damaged in the transfer.”
She seems a little uncertain and hesitant to take the plant from the counter now.
“You...really care about these plants, huh?” she asks.
“Well, sure. They’re living things,” he says with a soft smile. “Like people, they need great care to flourish.”
Now she looks just downright guilty, like she hadn’t considered keeping the flower long enough for it get properly potted, let alone flourish. Her hands retract from the plant as she nibbles on her lip.
“I...don’t have a hothouse,” she admits.
“Oh.”
“Honestly, I just wanted it to help finalize a tattoo design for a client,” she says with a sheepish smile but it goes a little somber as she rubs her arm. “I don’t exactly have room at the shop or home to build a hothouse for it. And now...I’d hate to see it wilt and die--”
“Tell you what,” Hunk interrupts. “Anytime you need a flower for inspiration, you can come over and draw one. No charge.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” Hunk smile, a little flush coming to his cheeks at her worry melting. “That way you don’t have to spend money and the plants stay healthy. And you still get your designs finalized.”
“Hmmm,” she smiles, pinching her chin with a smirk. “That does sound optimal.”
“But I’ve already taken your money--oh! Hold on a second,” he says and crosses the store.
She loses him for a moment in the foliage. He hums and moves a few things around. When she leans to try and locate him she finds him reaching up to a hanging plant. He pulls it down and brings it to the front.
A large hanging plant with heart shaped leaves on it’s long vines streaming down.
“Take this,” he insists. “It’s a pothos.”
“It’s bigger than the orchid,” she says.
“You have a good open spot at the window at your parlor,” Hunk tells her. “Just install a hook and it’ll do well hanging there out of the way.”
“What if I kill it?” she asks still a little uncertain.
“You won’t, it’s easy to care for. Leave it in the sun. Water it once a week. That’s it,” Hunk insists. “It’ll even purify the air you breathe in return.”
She pauses to think as Hunk pushes the plant to the edge of the register.
“Sound good? Ms…?”
“My friends call me Pidge,” she says with a smirk. She offers her hand to him which he shakes. “And you’re uh…?
“Hunk,” he tells her and she erupts with snorts and giggles. It’s gotta be about the cutest sound he’s ever heard, even if she is laughing at his name.
“I can’t believe it!” she snorts again. “He was telling the truth! Your name actually is Hunk! One of my clients--he told me it was but I thought he was pulling my leg. Thought he just called you that because you’re--”
“A hunk?” Hunk laughs.
“Yeah,” she laughs and bites her lip a little again as her cheeks flush pink, like the new posies he got in. They’d compliment them perfectly. “Thanks for the plant, Hunk,” she tells him as she takes the pot in hand.
“N-No problem,” he stammers with a smile, finally coming back to earth. “Come by anytime you want to draw some flowers. I’ll pick out some doozies.”
“Are those some kind of off-brand of daisies?” she asks with a furrowed brow.
“You’ll have to come back to find out,” he says with his best charming smile. Seems to work because she flushes anew with a shy smile and takes off with her new plant.
In the days to come things change around the shop. Every Thursday Pidge waters the pothos in the tattoo parlor window and comes visiting with Hunk in his shop. She draws out flowers, vines, and cacti while Hunk chats with her about them all. She even brings lunch for them to share.
And then one day after being gone for a week, she returns to Hunk’s shop first thing. To show off her new sleeve. Growing all over her arm arm a number of lush succulents, vibrant flowers, and flavorful herbs. All the ones he went on and on about and she came to love.
But at the very top of her shoulder sprouts her favorite, a long beautiful vine that travels throughout the rest of them and down her arms. The same plant she has still in her parlor window. One with sweet heart-shaped leaves.
