Ari was up bright and early the next morning, ready to see the beautiful baker in her little shop. He had tentatively typed out a text message to send you after he got back to his store, but then he figured seeing you in person was the better choice. 
He spent a little extra time getting ready, and even took some time to make sure his beard was in the best state. Ari had a crush and he knew it. Normally, he wouldn’t put as much effort into his appearance before seeing a girl; his life was busy and dating wasn’t really a priority. But after meeting you, he sure wanted that to change. 
The bell above your door jingled as he stepped within the threshold. The smell of warm vanilla and chocolate hit him immediately, and he just knew he could get used to that. Ari wanted to get used to a lot of things when it came to you – especially that stunning smile, although he had a feeling he’d never tire of it. 
There was a morning rush, so he got in line and peered around, trying to catch a glimpse of you. The cashier was a young girl, and he had hoped that you would come out soon enough. 
When it was finally his turn to order at the register, he still had yet to see you. 
“Um, is Y/N here?” he asked the girl whose name tag read Kamala.
She smiled, “Unfortunately, she’s not in today, she called out last minute. Can I get you something?” 
Ari swallowed the lump in his throat, you said you would be there. He couldn’t be upset though, he knew very well how easily things could come up and derail his days. He sighed before asking for a half dozen boston cream cupcakes. 
After heading back to his flower shop, he twiddled with the thought of texting you something about how good of a baker you were. He and his employees loved your cupcakes, but he didn’t want to come on too strong. He knew you were busy so he decided that he would try to see you again the following day. 
But when he walked into your store during his lunch hour the next day, he was dismayed to see Kamala there again. He kindly asked about you once more, only to hear that he had just missed you by ten minutes. Kamala knew better than to volunteer your whereabouts to the giant man, but she made a mental note to tell you about his visits and questions. 
Ari grumbled out his order and headed back to his shop with another half dozen cupcakes in hand. He thought this was a sign, that despite that lovely first interaction perhaps it wasn’t meant to be. He decided not to text you and tell you about his multiple visits, he didn’t want to come off like a weirdo. 
Although, the memory of your sweetness remained with him. 
When you got back to your bakery at the end of the lunch hour, Kamala looked raring to tell you something. 
“Y/N, the hottest man came in to see you! Very rogue Captain America-esque. He asked about you, and he was here yesterday too. He bought cupcakes but it looked like he really came to see you,” she rambled excitedly.
You smiled to yourself, you knew exactly who she was referring to. 
“That would be Ari,” you bit your lip to suppress a smile. “Shoot, it’s too bad I missed him. I wish I had his number to text him, but hopefully he’ll come in tomorrow,” you murmured more to yourself. 
Unfortunately, he did not come in the following day, or the one after that. You knew that he had your number, but you couldn’t fathom why he didn’t use it. 
You figured he got busy, but before you knew it a week had passed, and not once did you get a text or another visit to your bakery. It wasn’t his fault, you knew that. You weren’t there when you said you would be, and he even went so far as to try another day. 
The missed connections were mainly on you, but the bigger issue was that you had no way to reach him. The red dahlias from Ari were still flourishing in their vase, taunting you, reminding you that you had to see him again. 
So you made a decision, you were going to go see him at his flower shop. 
He told you that his shop was nearby, but unfortunately, so were three others. You knew venturing out to all of them was a little bit crazy, nevertheless you were a little crazy too so you decided to go for it. 
After stopping by each shop the following day without the sight of that handsome blue-eyed man, you begrudgingly accepted your fate – that endearing initial interaction was just that, a nice moment that wasn’t meant to become anything more. 
Weeks passed by in a blur, and sure enough the memory of the charming florist slowly faded along with them. Although, you’d be lying if you said that at times the door bell’s jingle didn’t have your eyes darting towards it in hope – but it was never who you wanted it to be. 
Following a particularly busy day, you found your pastries completely sold out. Kamala was out and couldn’t cover for you while you baked, so instead of scrambling, you decided to close up early.
However, work was always on your mind and you decided to swing by the local farmer’s market before heading home to see if you could find a few new fruits to incorporate into some seasonal cupcakes. 
The weather had cooled down a bit as you strolled through the colorful stalls. Local vendors from all over the area had their fresh vegetables, fruits, and goods out for everyone to peruse and purchase. After grabbing some mangoes and berries that you knew you could whip up into something delicious, you started to venture towards the plant stalls. 
Your ever growing succulent collection could always use another addition, so you took in the numerous options; some appearing spiky, others multicolored and precious. And while your eyes glossed over the beautiful variety of choices, you missed the stormy-blue ones that delightfully watched you take in his floral arrangements.
Ari contentedly stroked his beard as he took you in – even without the adorable pink apron you were still so cute. Ari realized this had to be a sign. Crossing paths with you once was sheer luck, but now it felt like divine intervention was making it glaringly obvious that he had to do something. 
After a little contemplation, you decided on a little Echeveria Aphrodite plant. But before you could look for the vendor to pay for it, you felt a towering presence enter your periphery. You turned to find Ari watching you closely, a small smile playing on his lips as he looked down at you. 
Your eyes locked, and you could feel the energy as it bounced between you two. And even though your brain remembered that things didn’t seem to work out with him, your hammering heart believed perhaps this was your second chance. 
“Hi, Ari,” you smiled shyly. 
“Hi, Y/N. Did you find something you like?” he asked casually.
Of course, he remembered you, but that didn’t mean that this was anything more than a business transaction to him.
You cleared your throat, "Um, yeah I did. I’d love to buy this,” you tilted the plant in your hand. “How much is it?”
“Hmm, c’mere let me see,” he smirked, stepping closer and reaching out to grab it from your hands. Your fingers brushed briefly, and whatever energy you felt before zapped you through that little touch. 
You bit your lip in anticipation, waiting for him to speak, trying to suppress the surge of emotions that you were feeling internally. You used your best efforts to not let your eyes wander over his ruggedly gorgeous features and those shoulders in that chambray shirt that he filled out so well. He looked strong and –
“I’m really sorry,” Ari paused, meeting your gaze again. You quickly shook your head, hoping that he couldn’t read your thoughts. “This one is awfully expensive,” he shrugged playfully, unaware of where your mind was.
You could tell he was messing with you. “Oh yeah, what’s it cost?” 
He shrugged, “Dinner with me tonight.” 
Your eyes widened a bit, “Tonight?”
Ari nodded, “WelI, I can’t run the risk of losing you again… I mean not that you’re mine to lose, I just mean –”
“Where?” you asked to cut off his adorable rambling. This all took a turn you were not expecting.
Running a hand through his hair, he smiled back at you. “I’ll make a reservation and text you within the hour with the details?”
You quirked an eyebrow, “Oh, so do you have my number?” you teased. 
Ari blushed under your gaze, he knew he should’ve used it. He shouldn’t have let his insecurities about being cringy or overbearing after his visits to your bakery get in the way. 
“I do, and now you have mine too,” he tilted the plant to show you his shop’s insignia and contact information on the bottom before handing it to you. “I’ll be done here very soon, does Mediterranean food sound good?” 
You smiled softly, “Sounds perfect. I’m gonna head back to my bakery to drop off my produce. And thank you for the little plant, Ari.” 
“Of course, see you in a bit.” 
As you walked away you looked down at the cute succulent, thinking about how happy you were to have a plant to take the place of the dahlias that you had to throw away. 
You were even happier because you knew this one would last a whole lot longer. 
┈┈┈┈┈・・
As you were putting away your fruits, an idea popped into your head. You swiftly preheated your oven and prepped the materials you needed. 
Your phone buzzed on the prep table as you mixed the frosting. 
An unknown number sent you a text asking if you were still at your bakery, and another text after that clarified that it was Ari. 
Y/N: Hey Ari, yes I’m still here. 
You quickly saved his number and added his name to your phone. 
Ari: Perfect, can I pick you up in about half an hour from there? The restaurant is casual so no need to change your attire. 
Y/N: Sure, that sounds great. 
That gave you just enough time to freshen up and finish your task. 
Exactly thirty minutes later the bell above your door jingled, and you looked up from your counter to see the florist you had been hoping to see in your bakery for weeks now. 
“Hi again,” you beamed as your heart raced at the sight of him. 
“Hi,” he smiled brightly, hoping that you couldn’t hear the erratic beating of his heart. “Ready to go?” 
“Yes,” you grabbed your purse and the little pastry box you packed for him. 
He furrowed his brow when you handed him the box as you led him out of your bakery. He chuckled when you told him that he would have to wait until after dinner. After you locked up and hopped into his truck you watched as he carefully set down the box in his cup holder for safe keeping. 
Ari drove off with a blissful smile on his face, and you gleefully looked out the window, looking forward to the future that you had with him. Given the way your paths were brought back together, you had no doubt that it would be a bright time ahead. 
After dinner the two of you would share the sweetest kiss, and once Ari got back home he’d open the little pastry box to see an adorable Aphrodite succulent cupcake that you piped perfectly for him. 
He knew he had it bad, but he didn’t know that he could fall so much deeper that quickly. 
He snapped a picture before texting you. 
Ari: I had the best time tonight, dahlia. I’ll be seeing you tomorrow morning, and if you’re not there then I’ll be sure to try again later. Thank you for the company and the darling cupcake. 
Heat rose to your cheeks as you read Ari’s words. You were surprised to hear from him so soon, but grateful that he was so straightforward with you. 
Y/N: Thank you for dinner, it was incredible. I can’t wait to see you then. <3
You fell asleep that night with the biggest smile on your face, and the following morning you made sure you were there right on time to see him, with a cupcake and a kiss to start the day off right.

Case of the Ex: Part I
Tumblr media
Summary: Just as you decide to explore your feelings for Ari, an unexpected blast from your past sends you reeling...
Warnings: Mature Themes, Ari Being A Menace, Ex-boyfriends, Discussions of Weight, Discussions of Body Image, Mentions of Disordered Eating, Brief Discussions of Race, Pet Names, Cursing, Minors DNI
A/N: Special thanks to @curls-and-eyeliner for helping me brainstorm. This story is part of my Sweet Renegades Series. Not beta'd. All mistakes are my own. Likes, comments, and reblogs are appreciated. Thanks for reading!
Tumblr media
“So do you trust me now, Mr. Carmichael?” You tease as you carefully place several books into your customer’s reusable shopping bag while you wait on the receipt to print. “Because the way I see it, I haven’t steered you wrong yet.”
“Here we go.” The older man grumbles, playfulling rolling his eyes as you punch in the last few numbers to complete the transaction. 
“My recommendation track record speaks for itself.” You can’t help but laugh at the look he gives you. As if you two didn’t have the same conversation at least once a month. “I just want you to give me my props.”
“Arrogance isn’t a good look on you, young lady.” 
“Who said anything about arrogance?” Your eyes go comically wide as you lean into the theatrics by pretending to look around your shop. “Certainly not me. I’m just a small business owner, standing in front of the best retired florist in all of Bell’s Creek, humbly requesting that he finally give me my flippin’ flowers.”  
Mr. Carmichael heaves a weary sigh. “Fine, fine. You were right.” He steps back from the counter to give a dramatic bow. “Jean Hanff Korelitz’s Jacob Bonner was strong enough to rival Stephen King’s own Mort Rainey and Thad Beaumont. Your literary tastes reign superior once again.” 
“And there it is.” You rip the receipt from the printer and drop it into the bag before handing it over so that you can rest your elbows on the counter. “Now was that really that bad? It’s not like I asked for one of your Sapphire Sweetheart bouquets, after all.” 
“That entire moment was so positively excruciating I almost didn’t live through it.” He keeps his tone light as he slings the bag over his shoulder. “Anyway, same time next month?”
“Can’t wait.” You respond with a wink and a wave. “Wouldn’t miss it. And please give Millie my love.”
“Will do!” He calls behind him as he heads out the door.
Once he’s gone you decide to stand up and stretch, raising your arms over your head. You’re not satisfied until you hear the sound of your spine popping. And then you up the ante, twisting your body from side to side before bending down and touching your toes.
You hold the position for a moment, content to let yourself dangle until you hear the chime of the front door, signaling the arrival of another customer. Which was great news for you, especially since business had been kind of slow this morning. 
“Welcome to Baubles & Quills!” You chirp as you quickly right yourself. “How can I he–” The words die on your lips when you get a good look at the person standing just inside the doorway.
“Hiya, Cupcake.” 
It’s a nickname you haven’t heard in years. And it had only ever been used by one man. The same one who had broken your heart and left a wound so deep you’d been almost convinced that it would never heal. 
And yet there he was. Standing right there in your shop. Somehow even more handsome than you remembered.
Mason J. Prescott.
The seconds tick by, turning into minutes as a loaded silence washes over you both. Whatever you’d been expecting, it hadn’t been this. A visit from your ex-boyfriend had not been on today’s bingo card.
Grinning, Mason closes the gap between you. His long, denim clad legs covering the distance in a few easy strides. Once he’s in front of you he removes his Stetson pinchfront and sits it on the counter before taking the opportunity to run his fingers through his thick black locks. 
“Damn if you ain’t a sight for sore eyes.” Still grinning, his gray eyes give you a thorough onceover. It’s a blatant, slow moving perusal that lets you know he likes what he sees. “I swear they don’t make girls as pretty as you out in Brickfield. Must be something in the water.”
“Uh…hi.” You stammer as shock continues to course its way through you.
“You lookin’ to catch some flies there, Cupcake?”
Shit. That meant you were staring. Probably with your mouth open. It was an old bad habit that, up until today, you could’ve sworn you had licked. 
“Sorry.” You cough, forcing your brain to reboot.
“No need to be sorry.” While Mason’s easygoing charm used to calm your nerves, today it seemed to be doing the opposite. 
“What brings you..?” You trail off to take a steadying breath. “I didn’t realize you were back in town.” 
What the hell was he doing here? 
“I just flew in last night. Caught a red-eye home from Buffalo, New York..” He decides to explain further after you flash him a quizzical glance. “Dad had me working on a business deal up there. It was a quick trip with an even quicker turnaround.” 
Oh. “Got it.” 
“Yeah.” He chuckles, scrubbing a hand over his five-o’clock shadow. “My, uh, plan had been to fly back out to Brickfield first and then make the drive. But after speaking with my Mama no less than six nerve-racking times in the span of an hour, I figured I’d be better off coming straight here. And I’ll be damned if it doesn’t feel good to be back.” He raps his knuckles on the wood.  
“I’m sure they’re all very happy you’re home.” You weren’t really sure what else to say to that, so you kept it simple. Although it still didn’t explain his reason for showing up at what was arguably the equivalent of your doorstep.  
“Maybe. Some more than others, I suppose.” His voice drops an octave as he pins you with a knowing look. “Any chance you might be one of those people?”
Your teeth begin to gnaw at your bottom lip as your palms go damp with sweat. Why on earth would he care or not about whether you were happy to see him or not? Especially since you hadn’t spoken in–
“I’ve thought of you damn near every day over the last five years.” 
“Mace…” His former nickname comes on the heels of a weary sigh. 
“I’m serious, sweets.”
“Didn’t say you weren’t.” 
You did not want to do this today. It wasn’t fair or right of him to think he could just pick up and waltz back into your life as if he expected your feelings for him to be the same. 
Things had changed since then. You had changed. Everything was different now, starting and ending with you.
“I’ve been thinking…” Now it’s his turn to sigh as he squares his shoulders. “Maybe we made a mistake.”
“Ha!” You let out an unladylike snort, your hand flying to your mouth in an attempt to catch it. “I don’t believe for a second that I’m the reason your Mama pressed you to hussle your ass back to our quaint little town.”
“I came back because I needed to deal with a family matter. But I was thinking about staying because the one that got away also happens to own a shop that’s just down the road from my parent’s ranch.” His sobering admission is enough to send you reeling all over again.     
Mason then places his hand atop yours, allowing the slightly roughened pad of his thumb to stroke along the ridge of your knuckles.
“I’m afraid I don’t take your meaning.” You give him your best haughty southern belle impression. “But if you’d like, I can point you in the direction of our Self-Help books. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of helpful literature on learning from your past mistakes. Might I recommend John Purkiss’ bestseller, The Power of Letting Go? I hear it’s a real page turner.”
Your newfound snippiness has your ex-boyfriend rocking back on his heels. He even appears a little stunned. Good. 
You weren’t the same meek young woman he’d left behind all those years ago. Something that Mason James Prescott would do well to remember.
“Sheesh, Cupcake.” Your former flame presses a hand over his heart, feigning as if you’d wounded him. “You might’ve shed a few extra pounds when I wasn’t looking, but I see you've also gained a little sass too.”
You fold your arms over your chest as you take a moment to process what feels very much like a backhanded compliment. God’s gift to Bell’s Creek didn’t know it yet, but you were getting dangerously close to kicking his pert ass out of your shop.   
As if sensing that he’s made an error, he quickly clears his throat. “All I’m saying is that I recognize that I’m dealing with a new and improved you.” He moves to reach for you again before apparently thinking better of it. 
“But forgive me if I have a hard time thinking of you as anything but the doe-eyed freshman who wrote poetry behind the bleachers. That is, when she wasn’t busy taking home top prize at the state fair’s pie baking contest year after year.” Mason offers you his own award winning smile for good measure, highlighting the dimple on his left cheek. 
Suddenly, the room feels a little too hot for your comfort. You didn’t like feeling this unsettled. These days the only man who was allowed to get under your skin was your handsome, overbearing bounty hunter. 
It was a right that he’d earned, whether you liked it or not. And there were honestly times when you damn well didn’t. But you’d also be lying if you said that you weren’t learning to live with it.     
“I could sure go for a slice of your famous brambleberry pie right about now.” Mason keeps his deep voice low and even as he takes a tentative step around the side of your cash register, which is the only thing currently separating the two of you. “But I’d be willing to settle for some cherry pie and a scoop of homemade vanilla bean ice cream over at Holtman’s Diner on West 5th if you’d be open to join me.”
“So I can watch you stuff your face with pie while I nibble on a depressing fruit salad from a can like a sad little rabbit?” You scoff. “Pass.” 
Mason huffs out an annoyed breath, his brows drawing together. “You were the one who always complained about shit going to your hips. Meanwhile, I was just doing my part to be supportive. Isn’t that what any good man is supposed to do for his woman?” 
Apparently you weren’t the only one experiencing a few ruffled feathers here. Fantastic.
“I’m not sure it’s allowed to fall under the category of being supportive –” you respond, complete with appropriate air quotes “– if you’re also the one constantly pointing it out.” 
“We were kids, baby!” His hands fly to his waist so that he’s now standing akimbo. “Just a couple of stupid kids worried about stupid shit like football practice and prom pictures. I felt like I was walking around with the world on my shoulders back then. It wasn’t as easy for me as everybody liked to think.” He shifts his weight, resting his hip against the cashwrap. “Nobody understood the pressures of growing up as a Prescott. Nobody even tried…” 
‘Oh yeah?’ Your internal voice all but screams. ‘Try being one of only five black kids in your entire goddamned graduating class. But do you see me crying? Nope.’ 
At any rate, you didn’t sign up for this month’s Prescott Pity Party. So you were about to politely request that he miss you with that bullshit.
“I’m sorry you felt like you had to carry so much alone, Mace. I really am.” You look down at your feet as you try to drum up a way to usher him out the door without touching him. But the next thing you know, he’s suddenly standing directly in front of you. 
“Except for you.” He reaches out to clutch at your biceps, his big hands smoothing up and down your bare arms. “You saw past the spoiled little rich kid act when no one else did. And I didn’t appreciate you like I should have.” 
Your heart speeds up as you take notice of the way his eyes darken. He’s so close that you can see the light smattering of freckles dotting the bridge of his slightly crooked nose. If memory served, he’d broken it during a heated football game.
One where he claimed an opposing player made several crude comments about your body and choice of skirt. At the time you’d considered him a hero. But now…
Now you saw him for what he was. Another run-of-the-mill Prescott pretty boy. All style and no substance. That was the crux of it.  
Right?      
“Why are you doing this?” Your question comes out weaker than you’d like, but at least it doesn’t waver.
“Because I want you to have dinner with me tonight. For old times’ sake.” His determined gaze bores into your own as all of the oxygen slowly dissipates from the room. “Please, Cupcake?”
Just then, you hear the chiming of the door, signaling the arrival of yet another customer. Spell broken, you take a fortifying step back – needing to put some distance between you and the town’s golden boy.
“Am I interrupting something?” The sound of a familiar voice has your already volatile emotions spiraling in the complete opposite direction as a sense of relief blooms in your chest. 
Saved by the damn bell. Thank the Lord.
“Yeah.” Mason snaps at the same time you throw out a swift “nope”. 
“Bird?” 
Of course your gruff bounty hunter would defer to you on this one – for which you were grateful. You turn your attention to him, not missing the tick in his chiseled jaw. 
Now that you saw them together, Ari appeared to have a good inch in height on your former lover. Aside from that, their builds were pretty similar. Instead it was the glaring difference in their personalities that managed to separate one from the other. 
“It’s fine, Ari.”
“Bird?” Mason’s lip curls in an almost sneer as his hands drop to his sides. “Is that what you go by now? It’s…cute.” He tacks on the last part when you respond with a simple shrug. 
If you were being honest, you didn’t much care how he felt or not. You just wanted him gone so that you could actually breathe again.
“Ari, huh?” He turns to give your man his full attention as realization finally dawns. “You must be that rent-a-cop my father was telling me about. Said you blew into town looking for Martin Westbrook’s sorry ass.” 
“Not quite, pal. But you’re almost there.” Ari spares a bored glance in the direction of his would-be rival. But he doesn’t say anything. You knew without him telling you that he was busy assessing the situation. It was something he had a habit of doing anywhere he went.
Especially when found himself face-to-face with a dick like Mason Prescott.
“Well, you won’t find him here, buddy.” Your ex gives him a dismissive nod. “So why don’t you see yourself out? The lady and I were just in the middle of catching up before you took it upon yourself to interrupt.” 
An uncomfortable silence ensues as both men stare each other down, each refusing to blink. The tension grows thicker with each passing moment. And it remains that way until you move to step between them. 
“Mace is an old friend who stopped by for a chat.” You tell Ari, jamming your nervous hands in your pockets. “But we were just wrapping up so I could get back to doing inventory.”
It was a lie. And you recognized that Ari was someone who deserved a better, more in-depth explanation than the basic one that you just gave him. But for now it would simply have to do. At least until you got your bearings.          
“But what about that pie?” Mason pouts, obviously upset by the prospect of you kicking him out. “Don’t leave me to eat alone, Cupcake.”
“Cupcake? Wow.” Ari scoffs under his breath, not bothering to his disapproval.
“Old friend, old nickname.” You hiss, somehow feeling even more self-conscious than you already did. “Now that we’ve established all that, I think it’s best if you two peaches get a move-on. I’ve got a busy day ahead of me.”
Needing some space, you attempt to shoo them out the door. But unfortunately, you might as well have better luck trying to herd a couple of cats. Lucky you.
“What about lunch?” Your man growls. Apparently he didn’t take too kindly to being thrown out either.
“Too busy. Gotta cancel. Sorry you came out all this way, but these books aren’t gonna stock themselves so…” You throw your arms in the air. “It is what it is.” 
Instead of accepting his dismissal, Ari takes a step towards you. He doesn’t stop until he’s in front of you, his body eclipsing your smaller frame and  effectively blocking you from Mason’s view.
“Did you eat today, baby?” He asks as one big hand comes up to cup the back of your neck, giving you an affectionate squeeze. Some of the stiffness in his shoulders eases when you give him a little nod. “Good. What’d you have?”
“A piece of toast and a hard boiled egg.” 
“Alright.” Warmth pools in your belly when your sweet bounty hunter hands over a plastic bag filled with what feels suspiciously like a sandwich and chips. “It’s a grilled chicken caesar wrap. Best they had since you said you don’t like that chipotle spread. Also got you some sea salt and vinegar chips, some cuke and onion salad, and a cookie.”
Christ. This man was simply too good for you. Moments like these only served to remind you that you truly didn’t deserve him.
“Thank you.” You murmur once you finally manage to swallow the lump forming in your throat. 
“I’m gonna need you to eat every last bite for me.” He tells you, his intoxicating blue eyes dropping to your lips. “So that I can fully enjoy taking a bite out of you later.” Thankfully, he's thoughtful enough to whisper the last bit. Making it clear that it was for your ears only.
“Okay, Ari.” 
Nodding, he shifts his attention back to an increasingly annoyed Mason. But while there’s no way he could’ve missed the moment you shared with Ari just now, he chooses to stew in silence. Which is absolutely fine by you. 
“Call me when you lock up.” You know that Ari’s words are meant for you even though his focus remains entirely on the other man taking up space in your tiny lobby. 
“I’ll see you around, Cupcake.” Mason smiles, but this time you notice that it doesn’t quite reach his eyes. “I can’t wait to find out if you’re still as sweet as I remember.” He finishes with a knowing wink.
With that, he turns and strides out of the shop, not even bothering to hold the door for Ari. But your man doesn’t seem to mind. Instead he makes a show of shouldering through it with minimal effort. 
As soon as it swings shut you hit the lock and flip the sign. And then you duck in the corner, watching as the two men exchange what you can only assume to be a few choice words right there in your parking lot. 
And while you can’t make out what they’re saying, you’re convinced that it’s anything but friendly – what with them being practically nose to nose. 
You stay in your spot until Ari and Mason finish their conversation. And it’s only once they’ve climbed in their respective cars and driven away that you finally slink off to the back room to lick your wounds and figure out your next move. 
Fuck! You had the sinking feeling that things were about to get complicated fast. Opening the fridge, you toss your lunch inside before slamming it shut so that you can snag a homemade strawberry and cream popsicle from the freezer. 
As you sit down, you feel your phone buzz in your back pocket. You fish it out, surprised to see that you’ve got a text from Ari that reads:
“Mace seems like a real stand-up guy.”
“No shit, Beast.” Rolling your eyes, you place the device facedown on a nearby table before nibbling on your sweet and creamy treat. “Tell me something I don’t know.”

a writing challenge? in 2024? you bet
Tumblr media
Hi! Hello! Hey!
I've been going through A Time and have chosen to cope by going back to the specific vibes of 2016 to 2018. That happens to include an incredible resurgence in my love for MCU fanfic, the community around it and all the love that goes into them. I've felt a bit distant from here for a while, but I still see so many of my old friends writing, ones who want to get back into it, and a whole lot of new writers I am dying to meet.
I've floated this idea vaguely on my blog and people seem to be interested so I figured it was worth a shot!
So yeah, welcome to Ari's Old School, Nostalgia Jam, Why-The-Hell-Not MCU Fic Writing Challenge 2024!
Prompts, rules and whatnot under the cut:
Requests:
If you could reblog this post to reach someone who might want to participate, I'd really appreciate it! No need to be following me, it's open for anyone.
Reader-inserts, OCs, solo character fics, character x character-- absolutely no limitations
Any and all MCU characters are allowed
Anything above 500 words should have a read-more/keep-reading tab. Series, multi-chapters, one-shots, drabbles, etc etc. The sky's the limit.
Please tag me in your fics (@shurisneakers) so I'm notified of them, and post them with the tag #arisoldschoolwritingchallenge . It may take me a while to get back to you due to the circumstances I find myself in currently, but I absolutely will. Please send me a DM if I haven't responded within 10 days.
Send me an ask with the prompt you would like. Feel free to pick up to 2 prompts
The only thing I request of you: no RPF and no dark fics. Smut is welcome, but non-con/dub-con/incest or anything along those veins is something I'd ask you not to submit for this challenge. Thank you for your understanding!
I know I've called it an MCU fic challenge as it's the community I've grown with, but if you feel like any of these prompts resonates with a character from another fandom, please go ahead and write it. This challenge really is just about the fun of writing fanfic and love for Your Little Guys
No submission cut-off date. Take all the time you need.

Here it is !! Flamingo King snippet for part 7, originally from part 6 but moved to the epilogue/bonus chapter 🦩❤️‍🔥 I’ve never loved a fic this much and am so thankful for all of your support !! I hope you all enjoy 🥰🫶
“Hey, sugar, you know you don’t gotta knock.”
“I just thought it would only be fair for tonight.” You shyly hold out a bouquet of flowers, vibrant red and yellow tulips from the best florist in the city. “These are for you. I was thinkin’ we could stop by the bakery after dinner? They brought back your favourite pie and I told them to save us a good one.”
Ari stands there for a moment, looking between you and the flowers. Then, he slaps the door, “awh shit, that was today? I thought—” he groans, “I thought it was tomorrow, Friday right?”
“Today is Friday.”
“Shit.” He curses, “The Den has been a fuckin’ zoo with all the college kids being back in town, my brain is fried and my eyes fuckin’ hurt from staring at a screen all day. Aside from bartending, Curtis has us doing all this paperwork and—” he shoulders sag, “nevermind. No need to be standing out there, come in, baby.”
The light flickers on and you can finally see him properly.
Eyeglasses are on the tip of his nose, his hair is messy and pulled out of his face with a small clip, one you recognize from your small vanity at home. His normally glowy skin is dull and tired, and dark bags make his eyes appear sunken into his face.
You’ve seen him dishevelled, but nothing this exhausted.
He’s still as pretty as ever, but just so terribly tired.
“Give me a few minutes, I’ll get ready quickly.” Then he’s off to his bedroom, abandoning his laptop and coffee table cluttered with dirty dishes, and plenty of papers.
A blanket and pillow that used to occupy his big, comfy bed are on the couch, along with a spare t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. His record player is off, no slow rock song filling his trailer like usually.
You hear several slams and bangs before peeking into his bedroom and it’s a mess, far worse than the living room. Clothes skewed over his bed, the laundry bin overflowing and more stacks of empty dishes on his nightstands, although outnumbered by takeout containers.
Ever since you met Ari, he took pride in his spotless home and kept his things organized. He was diligent with weekly cleans, and often reminded you of laundry day so you could do your chores together.
It’s been quite wild for you too from sports season and the rush of people coming in after school or work. Even Andy had to hire new staff just to keep up with the hoard of customers.
Despite being busy, you’ve still made time for each other, going out for late night ice cream, or hanging out in your trailer watching movies on the laptop that you got for a massive discount (from a particular blond cutie with a goatee). But you haven’t been over in a few days, a week at most, and you didn’t know it was this bad.
“Ari.”
“Hold on!” he calls out, digging through his dressers as clothes fall to the floor.
“Ari.”
“Where the fuck are my jeans?” He sweeps through the hangers again, squinting behind his glasses, “Why do I have so many flannels?”
You step behind him, wrapping your arms around his torso. Pressing your cheek against his bare back, you can feel his rigid muscles under his skin. Poor baby, he’s so overworked and drained, yet he was still trying to put you first.
“We don’t have to go tonight.”
“We do. You got all dolled up and bought me flowers. You were gonna wine and dine me, and you can’t do that if we’re stuck in this pigsty.”
You squeeze him tighter, refusing to let go. You know he could easily overpower you, throw you on the bed and continue getting ready. But instead, he just sinks into your touch, slumping over and bracing himself on the dresser.
“I’m so fuckin’ sorry, sugar.”
“Don’t be.”
He always took care of you. Making sure you ate during the day, stayed hydrated and out of the harsh sun. He wouldn’t eat until you took a first bite, and always put snacks and water in your bag before you went to work. Sometimes on his days off, he’d get into your trailer by using the key you gave him and tidy up, wanting you to come home and be able to relax.
Ari has done so much for you.
It takes a few more kisses, some affectionate squeezing and running your hands up and down his chest for him to turn around.
His eyebrows are knotted tight, and a deep solemn frown plays on his lips. You notice his beard is thicker too, a smidge longer than his usual trim.
“I’m so tired—I don’t know what the hell is happening.” He sags forward, slinging his arms over your shoulders and tugging you closer.
You turn your head, kissing his bicep. “Wanna talk about it?”
He shrugs. “It’s work, work and work. That’s all I fuckin’ do now. I love The Den and working with my friends, and it always gets busy this time of year but shit…” he huffs, squeezing his eyes shut. “It was fine before because I had nothin’ else to do but now I have you.” He leans down, pressing his forehead to yours, “You're my girl—how the hell can I give you the attention, time and love that you deserve if I can’t even remember what day it is?”
Your heart aches as you stare into his disappointed blue eyes. Framed by thick lashes, they blink so slowly and sleepily.
“I don’t—I refuse to lose you because of something stupid like this.”
“You’re not going to lose me over one missed date.” You promise, meaning every word.
He chuckles dryly and turns back around to search through the closet again. “It starts like that. Then it’s another and another, and soon we aren’t even seeing each other for days at a time and resort to texts and five minute calls.” He rambles, “And then we’re just two strangers who had something great and you’re gonna get swept off your feet by some douchebag who can’t even remember your favourite colour. While you’re off with him in a big and bright city, I’m gonna be an old man still at The Den, talking about how I lost the girl of my dreams to drunk guys who have a million better things to do—”
“—would you be quiet!”
He looks over his shoulder with wide eyes.
“We aren’t going, so put down those jeans and sit on your bed.” You cross your arms.
Ari doesn’t move, his long fingers still clutching the denim. “Uh—”
“Shush.” You snatch the jeans from his hands and toss it on the dresser, and point to the unmade bed. “Go. Now.”
“Yes ma’am.” He mutters under his breath, cautiously walking around you to his bedroom. With a heavy breath, he plops on the mattress, leaning back with his legs spread wide.
His thin shorts ride up his thick thighs, displaying the built muscle and coarse hair. Quickly glancing over his shameless bulge, you admire his cute tummy and the chain dangling between his pecs.
You step towards him, cupping his bearded face in your hands and squishing his cheeks, making his lips pucker. “You have to take a break or else you’re gonna burn out.”
His eyes close peacefully, your touch silencing all of those pesky worries and looming fears. He was normally very reflective about his thoughts, and kept those stupid, useless, noisy ones to himself.
One of your hands moves to his hair, taking out the clip and running your fingers through the dark strands. “You always take care of me. You’re always so sweet and attentive, the best daddy I could’ve ever asked for.” You say softly and lean down, gently pulling his head back to kiss his cheek, trailing closer to his pink, plump lips. “Now I wanna take care of you.”
A low groan rumbles from his chest, “yeah, baby? You gonna take care of daddy tonight?”
“Mhm.” You hum with a chaste kiss. “Work out all those knots in your back, clear your head…” Your hands fall to his shoulders, tenderly pressing into the tense muscles. “Tonight is all about you, daddy. You deserve it.”
It’s about time we get back to the hot and steamy Flamingo Trailer Park !! The posting date would be earlier but your girl has exams 🥸 I hope you’re all as excited as me 🤩 pls feel free to share your thoughts !!

The Zodiac Signs and Their EMPATHY Style
We all know what empathy means, but did you know there are various types of empathy?
In this article, you'll learn about other kinds of empathy, as well as what sign uses it more.
Aries
Fauna Empathy
This courageous and adventurous sign feels a special connection with animals and they find it very easy to understand their needs.
Even when Aries doesn't like a particular kind of animal, they're very in tune with what that animal wants and needs, and it's not uncommon to see Aries go out of their way to make it happen.
Taurus
Physical Empathy.
Taurus is very empathetic towards people and their emotions, but what makes their specific kind of empathy so interesting is how it manifests.
Taurus's empathy manifests in physical ways, so if someone feels sick, Taurus feels sick, if someone feels hot, Taurus feels hot, etc.
This, of course, is a double-edged sword, as while it allows Taurus to understand what others are feeling, it can also make them feel ill or under the weather without any warning whatsoever.
Gemini
Telepathic Empathy.
Geminis are extremely sensitive to other people's moods, which means they can easily identify people's emotions and emotional states just by being in their proximity.
More impressively, Geminis can even transmit their emotions to others, particularly if they're feeling something very strongly.
As you can imagine, this can be used for good or can be used for bad. It's all about what Gemini chooses.
Cancer
Chameleonic Empathy.
Cancers are the purest kind of empath in the Zodiac, and they can sense and react to other's emotions without even thinking about it.
What's interesting about Cancer's specific type of empathy is that it tends to reflect itself in Cancer's body language.
If someone around Cancer is feeling insecure, Cancers will adopt a more closed-off body language. If someone is feeling confident, Cancer will reflect this, and so on.
Leo
Psychometric Empathy.
Leo's particular type of empathy is one of the coolest to see in action, as it almost seems like a super-power.
Leos are amazing at understanding others and their emotions when they touch something valuable to someone else.
If something holds a special kind of meaning for someone, there's a good chance Leo will figure out why that object is so important by just holding, and looking at it.
Virgo
Flora Empathy.
Virgos have a natural green thumb and, more impressively, a very special connection to plants in general.
They tend to feel more energized when there are plants around them, and can easily tell what a plant needs to thrive.
Virgos make excellent florists, not only because they know what the plants want, but also because they understand what kind of plant is ideal for every type of person.
Libra
Receptive Empathy.
Libras can literally feel what others are feeling, which explains a lot about the sign's desire for stability and conflict avoidance.
When people around them are experiencing very strong emotions, there's a chance Libra will feel it as well, and while this isn't a problem when it comes to positive emotions, it can certainly be hard to deal with it when it comes to negative ones.
This is part of the reason why Libras often try their best to make sure everyone around them is in a good mood. They might not realize it, but the fact that they're so in-tune with other people's emotions certainly explains a lot about them!
Scorpio
Medium Empathy.
Scorpios are very good at feeling spirits and invisible entities, even when they don't actually believe in them.
They attract unexplained phenomena no matter where they go, and those who work hard to become even more sensitive to this particular kind of empathy can actually become conduits to the spirit world.
Sagittarius
Enlightening Empathy.
Rather than feeling people's emotions, Sagittarius can feel what makes people tick, which makes them capable of sussing out lies even when they've just met a person.
Even more impressive is the fact that Sagittarians are great at matching people with goals and objectives. They're good at identifying exactly what people want from life and pushing them in that direction.
Capricorn
Geomantic Empathy.
Capricorn's have a very strong connection to places and are capable of identifying places that have some significance to others even if they've never been there before.
They're the kind of people who'll feel sad in a place where someone died, or happy in a place where someone received great news, and while they may not be able to explain why they feel like that, they're certainly able to identify what they're feeling.
Watching a Capricorn's empathy in action is truly something else.
Aquarius
Gaia Empathy.
Aquarians are born to connect with the very world they inhabit, which makes them one of the most powerful signs in the Zodiac.
They can feel when there's something wrong in a specific area, and though they don't have the same kind of connection Virgo has with plants, they're still able to pinpoint when something is unbalancing the ecosystem.
Pisces
Astral Empathy.
Just like Scorpios can connect with spirits, Pisces can connect with other planes and those who exist there.
They're in tune with people's energies and emotions and can detect negative intentions and thoughts.
They might not be able to feel what others are feeling, but they're great at figuring out the intent behind people's words and actions.

i know that were all in love with big, mean, confident beefy daddy ari but how about cute, shy florist!ari 🥹🥹🥹🥹 thinking ab this GIANT man handling such delicate things like flowers makes me insane. he and reader met one day when she came into his shop to buy flowers for her friend's birthday and was shocked by how beautiful the bouquet was so she obviously praised him and maybe he blushed a bit🥹🥹🥹🥹 imagine ari blushing bye id melt on the spot. and imagine his little petal coming into his store weekly to see him and talk to him and he takes time to explain the meaning of different flowers to her and sometimes he gives her a bouquet of flowers (on the house ofc) but never asks her out because hes too shy for that. and one day reader shows up to the store with a red rose bc its the flower of love and gives it to ari and asks him to go on a date with her 🥹🥹🥹 this is so out of character oh my god but im so in love with cute and shy ari kskskskksks
-👗
That is just so stinking cute! I want to write this so bad but I feel like I couldn’t do it justice bc I’m so used to writing asshole men! 😭😭😭
Shy!Ari just sounds so cute! He’s a gentle giant who is really passionate about flowers! He has a lot of books on nature! He loves hikes and collecting samples of rare flowers! He also has a book where he presses flowers and maybe later he’d gift it to the reader 🥹🥹🥹 and reader would help Ari come out of his shell!! Ari is super popular amongst the ladies bc LOOK AT HIM but he doesn’t even realise it so he’s not cocky at all! AND YES BESTIE IMAGINE HIM BLUSHING HOW CUTE! 🥹🥹🥹
He’d be a fucking freak in the sheets tho bc the quiet ones always are 🫣🫣🫣
