First Impressions

Since a certain rude giant wants to attack us lol, this is a quick idea I had that’s also paired with a prompt request from @lovelymari4. I did change some things around with the prompt so hopefully that’s ok and that you guys like it😄!

Pairing: Florian Munteanu x Black Reader

Prompt: Florian makes the reader feel some type of way with the choice words he has about her favorite artist

⚠️: None💕!

Watching the metal doors of the elevator slide open, you let out an exasperated breath you’d been holding in since leaving labs. Being in classes since 10 this morning, saying you were happy to be home was an understatement. You couldn’t wait to soak in your tub with your favorite bath bombs and light candles all around as part of your new mini self care routine you recently adopted so you could de-stress.

That is if you could get through the door.

Finally reaching your apartment, you find multiple boxes labeled with various household items blocking the entrance while your neighbor’s door in front of you was wide open. Music not blaring, but at a loud enough volume you could hear a few feet down the hall, you use the knocker below the peephole hopefully banging loud enough they could hear you.

“Um hello?! Scuse me, but I’m trying to figure out who’s stuff is in front of my door?!”

Appearing from around the corner in only his cotton shorts and socks stood who you assumed to be your new neighbor.

Your freakishly good looking and fit neighbor.

Shouting at someone in the room he just left in a language you couldn’t immediately catch, he makes his way towards you taking his shirt from the couch to quickly pull it over his head.

“Sorry about that, we’re moving in and kinda just left everything in the hall since it’s only our apartments on this end. Plus we knew you weren’t home-,”

“Wait how did you know I wasn’t home exactly?”

“Hey Y/N!,” your friend, Dana, smiles appearing from the same room followed by another man.

“Dana what are you doing in their apartment? And I guess you told them I wasn’t home?”

“I’m doing my part in helping the new neighbors move in of course!,” she smiles, helping slide one of the boxes inside before moving to stand beside you.

“...but you don’t even live here and you also hate packing or unpacking.”

“That’s not true, I helped you when you moved!”

“With one box and then you left to get food and it took you two hours to get back,” you retort with a smirk making your new neighbors quietly laugh to themselves and Dana roll her eyes.

“Anyway! I didn’t tell them you weren’t home they figured that out on their own but I did confirm said suspicion.”

“Yea earlier this week we went to everyone on the floor and introduced ourselves. We tried your door a few times but never got an answer. We figured you were either very busy or a hermit,” the originally shirtless one laughs. “I’m Florian by the way and this is my brother Masias.”

“I’m Y/N, nice to meet you,” you reply shaking both of their hands. “Well since you guys are busy I don’t want to be in the way so I’m gonna head out.”

“You won’t be in the way if you stay, in fact we’re almost done for the day if you want to hang out for a bit. That is if you’re not too tired or don’t have a lot to do.”

“C’mon I know you’ve been stressed out with school, hang out and get your mind off of it for a while! Plus these are two super hot guys and I’m trying to get us dates,” she responds, whispering the last part and making you give her a look.

“Alright sure just let me put my bag up and change,” you answer as your best friend lightly bounces on her feet as she cheers.

———

After returning from changing into one of your university tees and sweatpants (which Dana insisted you not wear in a text she sent not long after you left knowing your usual go to outfit for when you’re home), you joined everyone else on the couch.

You got to know Florian and Masias more as you guys talked and they learned things about you as well, like how you weren’t a hermit but in graduate school working to become a Physian’s Assistant, which explained why you were never in your apartment.

A little later, Florian suggested watching a movie on Netflix to which you first were apprehensive about considering you should probably be spending your time in a more productive way, like reading over your notes and studying. However like Dana said, you didn’t have any tests for a while so you could afford a free day.

Handing the remote to Dana, both men agreed to let you guys pick which movie you wanted to see. You weren’t picky and up for anything leaving the choice to Dana.

Flipping through the different titles, you notice her instantly light up seeing her all time favorite singer, Beyoncé’s, Coachella documentary. “Ok just telling you now, if we don’t find anything else to watch this is gonna be it.”

“D, I’m sure they would rather watch something else than see Homecoming,” you lightly laugh, Dana rolling her eyes as she waves you off continuing to scroll.

“It’s fine, whatever you guys want to watch we’ll be ok with,” Florian replies, softly smiling as the setting sun shines through the open blinds onto his face making him look even more gorgeous.

“Jesus who are his parents, Greek Gods?!,” you thought as you turned your attention back to the bright screen in front of you to not stare.

“I’m not gonna lie though, I don’t really see what the excitement is about her though,” he spoke instantly causing everyone to go silent as all eyes were now on him.

Even Masias knew his brother had just messed up as he looked down shaking his head. “Flo you did not just say that in front of them.”

“I mean she’s beautiful don’t get me wrong, it’s just the music I can’t get into,” he replies, ears turning red from his nerves about what would happen next.

“Ok so I take it you’ve never really sat and listened to a Beyoncé song?,” Dana asked hands pressed together on the table in front of her as if trying to solve the greatest mystery to man.

“I mean I have, but still it didn’t do anything for me.”

“We might need to get your ears checked then.”

“Dana! Don’t listen to her, I understand. Beyoncé does make music more so for women or those who love pop and R&B. You’re more into rap so she’s not really on your music radar,” you explain trying to not only make Florian not feel bad but also let your crazed fan girl of a friend calm down from hearing the slander.

Dana was the textbook definition of a beyhive member. Any form of “disrespect” from anyone towards the queen wouldn’t be tolerated and she definitely had something to say. Never in a threatening way though like how some others were who took it too seriously.

You on the other hand were beyhive adjacent, as you liked to call it. You were technically part of the hive from your love of Beyoncé, but you definitely weren’t about the drama that would happen at times. Thus, you were off to the side of the hive in your own little honeycomb condominium.

“You know what? Just for that, we’re definitely watching it now,” she smiled starting the movie and humming along before the music even started.

———

Now after 11, you helped Florian in the kitchen clean up the glasses and two large bowls you guys used for snacks as Dana talked with Masias on the couch about the places in LA he had to check out.

“You guys don’t hate me too much do you?,” Florian asks leaning against the counter as he wipes water off his hands.

“No why would we hate you?”

“From the looks on your face when I said I wasn’t really into Beyoncé, you’d think I kicked a puppy,” he deeply chuckles making you laugh.

“I’m not gonna lie, when you first said it I did have a couple points listed if it would’ve led to a debate,” you lightly laugh. “Butt it’s like I said you have different preferences in music and that’s ok. Just maybe never mention that in front of Dana again,” you reply making him laugh harder.

“Yea don’t worry, I definitely learned my lesson.”

You spend a few more minutes talking and laughing before a small yawn creeps it’s way out of you as you cover your mouth.

“Uh oh, have we kept Cinderella out pass her curfew?,” he smirks.

“Afraid I’m gonna turn into even more of a bum than I already look?,” you ask matching his smirk as both of you laugh at what others would probably look at as a dumb joke. “I have had a long day so I probably should get going.”

“Ok, let me walk you out.”

“Florian I live literally across the hall right in front of you, you don’t have to.”

“True but anything could happen in those 10, 15 feet. Then not only will Dana hate me for not listening to Beyoncé but also because I let her friend walk out by herself.”

Giggling, you grab your phone and keys from the counter before slipping your feet into your slides beside the front door. “If you insist,” you reply slightly shrugging your shoulders. “D I’m about to leave, are you staying with me tonight?”

“And hear you up at the crack of dawn? I love you girl but I need to sleep in my own bed so I’m gonna head out in a few too,” she answers with a small stretch.

“Ok well text me when you get home. It was nice meeting you Masias!”

“Nice meeting you too Y/N! Hopefully we can all hang out again,” he smiles waving as you and Florian walk out the door.

“Thank you for walking those dangerous 10 feet with me! Who knows what would’ve happened if you weren’t here,” you say, doing your best damsel in distress impersonation.

“I’m sorry I’m a gentleman that always makes sure to walk a lady to her door,” he laughs. “But seriously though if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to get one of us. Even if you just want to get away from your work you’re welcome over here.”

You were trying to continue your cool, nonchalant attitude but the more you stood outside with him, you could feel yourself breaking. Unsure if it was the intense yet soft gaze of his green eyes looking back into yours, or how although he was nervously rubbing the back of his neck he still exuded all the confidence in the world, you felt your palms become sweaty and hoped you didn’t do or say anything stupid.

“Thanks I appreciate that. Well I have class tomorrow so I guess I should get to bed,” you softly smiled as you unlocked your door. “See you later Florian.”

“Goodnight Y/N.”

With a smile and small wave, he waited until he heard you lock the door from inside before going back to his place. Smiling to himself just as you were doing with your back pressed against your door.

Changes

Another quick idea! It’s probably gonna be super short, but I hope you guys like it😊!

Pairing: Florian MunteanuxBlack Reader

⚠️: Small bit of suggestive language, but other than that fluff💕

“Hi love, I hope you had a good day at work! I know you’re wondering why there’s a note on the door, but everything will make sense once you come inside. Love, Flo”

Slowly opening your door, you’re first met with rose petals covering your wooden floors and a glass vase filled with different, colorful flowers on your marble counter. Sniffing one of the lillies, you can’t contain the smile that forms across your face.

“Aww he’s so sweet! I wonder what this is for?,” you thought taking off your shoes and putting your bag away.

“Wait, it’s not our anniversary is it? No it can’t be that’s not until August. Oh no, did I miss another anniversary that he thinks I remember like the day we first met or our first date?!”

Now nervously tapping the vase with your nails as you search through your mind to figure out what today might be, you worry about the fact that you’ve come home empty handed for this special occasion and have potentially forgotten about said event. Lightly tapping the floor with his nails, your grey pitbull puppy scurries up to your leg nudging it with his small head.

“Hi Bubs!! What are you doing with this huh?”

Squatting down, you take the light pink daisy from his mouth giving his head a few scratches. The gleam from the setting sun bouncing off the oval cut diamond ring at the head of the flower instantly catching your eye, before you notice the note hanging from the stem, and making your heart race.

“I tried to come up with a cute poem to reveal your surprise but nothing sounded good lol. So I figured why not let Pluto help me do it?”

Before you could call his name, you see Florian walk towards you from your bedroom wearing his recently tailored deep purple suit with matching tie and his black dress shoes. Kneeling down on one knee, he takes your hand in his lightly kissing it.

“I don’t know if you remember, but you asked me when I got this part and the contract if I was ready for my life to change. I know you meant if I was ready for the extra attention and press since this is definitely the biggest part I’ve gotten yet, but that night I started thinking. While it may take some time to get used to what this is all gonna bring, I am ready for my life to change in that I want you to be there not as my girlfriend, but as my wife. I want to start a family with you and hope you feel the same.”

You wanted to yell “yes” but knowing as soon as you opened your mouth you’d be a sobbing mess, you excitedly nodded your head as tears streamed down your face.

Standing up, he slides the ring on your finger before picking you up to kiss your lips.

“I take it this is why you bought the new suit?,” you ask between sniffles, smiling with arms wrapped around his neck and legs around his waist as he holds onto the back of your thighs.

“You could say that,” he lightly chuckles. “I mean I could wear it to a premiere or out to dinner, which we have reservations for in about an hour, so you’re gonna want to get dressed too love.”

“Let me guess, you picked out an outfit for me too?”

“You’ll have to go in the room and find out,” he smiles kissing your salty cheek while letting you down to go in the room and see what other surprise he had for you.

Met with more rose petals scattered along the floor, you see a black, ankle length dress with spaghetti straps and a thigh high slit draped across the bed. Your open toed, black strappy heels resting on the floor in front of the dress waiting to join you on your special night.

“You like?,” Florian asks from behind you, wrapping his muscular arm around the front of your chest as he kisses the back of your head.

“I love, thank you! You didn’t have to buy me a new dress though, especially after the ring and the reservation,” you smile turning to face him.

“I know, but I wanted to spoil my girl.”

You start to walk towards the bathroom to get ready for your dinner, but stop midway with arms crossed in front of you watching Florian brush his beard in the mirror.

“You know, I’m actually not really hungry right now,” you speak, Florian looking at you slightly confused.

“Um ok...wait did you eat before you got home without me?!,” he asks hand over his heart and distraught look on his face making you laugh.

“No I didn’t eat without you. Let’s just say there’s something else I’d rather do,” you answer slowly walking towards him.

Lightly tugging on his tie, he leans down meeting you in a deep kiss and now understanding what you were referring to. “Well if you insist,” he smirks slightly squatting to pick you up again and placing you on the bed leaning over you with both arms on either side of your body.

“But wait is there a fee if we’re late for dinner? I don’t want you to have to pay even more.”

“That’s what you’re thinking about right now?,” he chuckles, sitting up on his knees as he takes off his suit jacket and kicks away his shoes. “Let me worry about that ok?”

Leaning down, he kisses along your neck and collarbone making you giggle from the sensation of his beard scratching against your skin. “Ok, but if that happens I don’t want to hear ‘you’re the reason we’re late’.”

“Well if something does happen you’ll just have to make it up to me then huh?,” he smirks momentarily meeting your eyes in the midst of you playfully rolling them.

“Alright, deal. I think I have a few ideas on how to do that,” you smirk undoing his tie and throwing it across the room.

My Shiny Teeth and Me

Quick idea I had after seeing the story and post about Flo going to the dentist while he’s in Australia (which was adorable lol) and I hope you guys like it☺️!

Pairing: Florian MunteanuxBlack Reader

Warning(s): None, all fluff💕

“Lennox! C’mon buddy or you’re gonna be late for the dentist.” Holding the small Spider-Man backpack in his hand, he waits on the other side of the playground fence for the four-year-old to finish saying bye to all his friends, smiling to himself at how adorable the pre-schooler looked.

“Mommy can’t come?,” he asks, small hand being completely enveloped by Florian’s as they crossed the parking lot.

“No not this time, remember she’s still at work but is gonna meet us after to eat ok?”

“Ok,” he replies with a pout as he’s buckled in his car seat.

“Hey don’t look so sad, we’re still gonna have fun!,” he smiles, tickling him under his chin until he begins squirming in his seat from his fit of giggles.

Knowing how nervous he was, Florian tried his best to make Lennox laugh or get his mind off of what was coming the whole car ride to the appointment. However, he wasn’t really up for fun right at the moment.

Like most kids his age, he was afraid of the dentist and had been despising this day since the last appointment when he found out he’d have to come again. It also didn’t help that his mom wouldn’t be there, who usually would take him to his appointments and hold his hand to make him feel better.

Both you and Florian told him that he would hold his hand and comfort him, but Lennox still wanted you there. Although he didn’t say anything about it, you were sure that he probably felt some type of way from his son treating you as if you were the favorite parent.

Walking through the wooden doors of the office, Lennox clings onto his dad’s leg as he walks up to sign him in.

“Hey Mr. Munteanu, how’s everything?,” Dr. Edwards asks while walking another patient out.

“Good! But Lennox is still a bit nervous,” he answers whispering the last part. Holding on as if he were a scared cat caught in a tree, Lennox buries his face behind his father’s knee.

“I see, well Lennox I promise it won’t hurt. I’m just gonna clean your teeth so they can stay healthy.”

“Right, and I’ll be there too so nothing will happen to you.”

Taking turns looking from Florian to the dentist, he slowly let’s go and moves to stand beside him. “Ok, I’m ready.”

Following Dr. Edwards to the exam room, Lennox sits in the chair fiddling with his hands as he nervously looks at the tools on the table beside him.

“I know you’re still a bit nervous so how about I do a quick exam on your dad so you can see what all I do? You can even help me if you want?”

Handing him the tool with the small mirror on it, the small child slightly perks up at this idea as he nods his head.

“Great! First let’s look in his mouth with the mirror to make sure we don’t see anything bad,” he explains helping Lennox guide the tool around Florian’s mouth.

“I don’t see anything how about you Dr. Lennox?”

“Nope! All clean!,” he answers handing the tool back to Dr. Edwards. “Good job tata!”

“Next, we’d use this tool to get in between the teeth to get out anything stuck like food. Then if everything’s ok, we’d start brushing with this.”

Watching him hold up the humming tool, Lennox nervously grabs Florian’s hand letting out a soft whimper.

“It’s ok! See it doesn’t hurt.” Holding out his hand, he lets Dr. Edwards use the electric toothbrush on his hand, circling it around a couple times to show nothing would happen.

After watching his dad for a few minutes, he holds out his hand so the dentist can do the same to him.

“So do you think you can sit in the chair like a big boy and get your teeth cleaned?,” Florian asks, lightly playing with the curls on top of Lennox’s head.

“...yea I think so.”

———

“MOMMY!!! I’M BIG LIKE TATA!!” Running up to you when you got close enough to the table, Lennox jumps into your arms hugging you tight.

“You are! I take it the dentist went well?,” you ask leaning over to kiss Florian as you sit down.

“It did, he helped the dentist check my teeth so he could get comfortable, and then he sat in the chair and said he was ready.”

“Yea I was a big boy!! And I got a sticker and toothbrush!” Holding up his plastic bag, he shows you his new lime green toothbrush, travel sized toothpaste, floss, and Spider-Man sticker.

“Oh wow that’s great love! I’m so proud of you!!,” you smile kissing his forehead.

“And then after, tata went to Krispy Kreme and got us do-,”

“Ok buddy let’s let mommy order her food yea?,” Florian interrupts gently covering the small child’s mouth making him giggle.

“Be glad I’m too excited about him not being afraid anymore that I’ll ignore the donuts,” you smirk, glancing at Florian before looking at the menu to figure out what you wanted.

“Mommy I want tata to always take me. We have fun!,” Lennox smiles before starting to color in his small booklet.

“Oh ok, yea that’s fine love.” Although you were smiling, you couldn’t lie and say that it didn’t hurt how he seemingly didn’t need or want you to go with him anymore. Clearly reading your mood, Florian slides your chair closer to him and wraps an arm around your shoulders.

“Babe it’s ok, he loves you and will still want you to take him.”

“Yea I know, but it’s like I’ve been replaced,” you slightly pout lying your head on his arm as you watch your son in his own little world continue coloring.

“Well remember what you told me, although it may seem like it Lennox doesn’t have a favorite parent and loves us equally.”

“That was when I was the favorite though,” you reply making Florian laugh in his signature boisterous style.

“Then maybe you’d still be the favorite if you bought him donuts,” he smirks before sitting back and sipping his water as you smack at his chest.

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!! Hope this year brings unlimited success, an overabundance of positivity, and growth to all of you :)!! So this is a combination of an idea I had with a prompt idea submitted by @lovelymari4​ who mentioned the reader going to Germany and running into Florian. Hopefully you, and everyone who reads this, like what I came up with!! (P.S. If you guys ever see me use the same name twice for different imagines, my bad I forget the names I use sometimes lol)

Pairing: Florian Munteanu x Black Reader 

Warnings: None 

Word Count: 2,171

“Y/N! Take our picture in front of this fountain please?,” your best friend, Daya, asks posing with her boyfriend Zeke. Taking pictures of the couple was pretty much your job during your trip to Germany seeing that you were the dreaded “third wheel”. 

Not that you really minded being the third wheel, both Daya and Zeke were your close friends and times with them were always fun. Well, fun in those times when you weren’t feeling the effects of being single. Seeing that it was New Years Eve, everywhere you guys went had decorations and flyers advertising about parties and how you didn’t want to be stuck at home alone. 

Plus walking around a foreign country viewing beautiful statues and historical landmarks as the snow lightly fell around you made you wish that you could share that experience with someone like how Daya and Zeke were. 

“Alright, I took multiples so hopefully you guys like them,” you answer, standing up from your squatted position as you hand Daya her phone back. 

“Thanks Y/N! And I trust you, you know my angles unlike someone,” she answers tilting her head towards Zeke.

“Hey I take good pictures! You just don’t like them.”

“Right so are they really good pictures then?,” she asks, squinting her eyes as if she’s trying to figure out an answer to her own question. 

“I mean the ones I take of myself get a good amount of likes so I would say so,” he counters with a smirk as you laugh at their discussion.

“Yea yea whatever. Y/N do you want some pictures too?,” she asks.

“Nah not this time, we can keep going-,” you start before being cut off by someone bumping into the back of you, causing you to stumble forward before being steadied by your friends. 

“Um who the-?!,” you thought as you turned around to see who (or what honestly) hit you. Seemingly towering over you, you’re met with a muscular man wearing dark jeans, Nike’s, and a leather jacket lined with a soft material covering a black long sleeve shirt. His brown beard was soft and just as thick as his body, while his green eyes seemed to capture your soul, but not in an intimidating way, like you wanted to keep looking into them for as long as you could.

“I’m so sorry! Are you okay?,” the mystery man asked in a deep, accented voice, slightly bending down to look in your eyes.

“No you’re fine! I mean fine like you don’t have to apologize because I’m fine not because you’re fine. I mean you are but-,”

“What my friend is trying to say is that she’s ok,” Daya answered looking at you amused by how you were acting.

“Yea that.”

“That’s good. I was recording a story for Instagram and my friend here failed to notify me in time that someone was there. I know very dumb and again I’m really sorry,” he replies, cheeks slightly red from embarrassment.

“It’s ok, just maybe don’t try to post and walk at the same time. Especially with people around,” you softly laugh, along with him and your friends. 

“I’m Florian by the way, and this is my friend Leon,” he introduces as his equally fit friend moves forward to shake all of your hands. 

“Nice to meet you, I’m Y/N and these are my friends Daya and Zeke.” 

“Nice to meet you guys. Well, we don’t want to hold you up from what you guys had planned next, so hope you guys have a great day and Happy New Year!,” Florian smiles.

“Thanks and Happy New Year to you guys too!,” you smile before you and your friends turn to continue your sight seeing. After only a few steps, you hear Florian calling your name as he jogged to catch up you.

“You dropped your um…lip gloss?,” he states handing you the small tube and making you smile.

“Yea lip gloss and thanks, this is my favorite one so definitely don’t want to lose it.”

“And we wouldn’t want that to happen. I mean not we as in us, like I know you like it and I think it’s pretty and probably looks good on you too-,”

“It’s ok I know what you mean,” you giggle as he softly chuckles. There’s a small silence between the two of you. With his hands in his pockets as he slowly shifts from one side to the other, you could tell he wanted to say something else, but something was stopping him from getting whatever it was off of his mind. 

“Hey I don’t want to seem creepy or anything, which honestly that statement in itself probably makes it creepy so this already isn’t going well,” he begins, pausing to laugh to himself and mentally grateful that you laughed too. “I was wondering if you and your friends had plans for tonight? Because if not, me and Leon are going to this party for New Years, and a bunch of our other friends are gonna be there, so you guys are more than welcome to join.”

“Um thanks that’s really nice of you to invite us! I’d have to ask them first though to see what they might be thinking.”

“Yea of course! Definitely think about it and I’ll give you my number so I can text you the address and everything if you guys decide to come,” he smiles as you pull out your phone. You had to admit watching his giant hand type on your phone was pretty funny. He didn’t have any problems maneuvering through the screens and buttons, but still the sight of such a bulky man with this small phone in his hands was quite a look. 

“Amused by a huge man such as myself holding this small phone?,” he asks with a smirk giving your phone back. While you could hold in your laughs, the look on your face was plain as day to what you were thinking. 

“A little, but not like in a bullying or ‘making fun of’ kind of way I promise.”

“It’s alright, my friends tease me about it all the time. And speaking of friends, it looks like yours may be having a very aggressive discussion.” Looking over your shoulder, you see Daya and Zeke’s hands going back and forth as both of them try to prove their point on something probably pointless.

“They’re probably arguing over where to eat. Let me go break them up before they bring anymore attention to themselves,” you sigh. “Thanks again for my lip gloss and I promise to message you about the party.”

With a wave and a final goodbye, you both went your separate ways. You, giddy from having an experience straight out of a romantic comedy and Florian feeling just as excited, hoping that he would see you again tonight. 

______

Lightly spraying perfume around you, you walk out of the bathroom in your dark high-waist skinny jeans with black stiletto booties paired with a fitted, long sleeve, black turtleneck. Yea it was probably simple compared to the glittery cocktail dresses you were sure to see around tonight, but you were not about to risk pneumonia going out in this German winter.

“Aww look at our little girl all grown up!,” Daya gushed making you shake your head. 

“Come on D, lets not embarrass her on her first date,” Zeke smiles wrapping his arm around Daya.

“Ok, both of y’all need to calm down, last time I checked I am grown up and this isn’t my first date. Now if you’re done mom and dad we need to head out before we’re late.”

“Ok, but not before we take a group picture!,” Daya smiles before reaching her arm up to make sure all of you were in the screen and snapping a picture of your smiling faces.

Arriving at the hookah lounge that Florian sent, you see the man himself standing outside now clad in a red hoodie, dark jeans, and a different pair of Nike’s. The street light above made his thick, gold chain gleam more so than it already was as he occasionally shifted from one side to the other with his hands behind his back.

“Hey, you didn’t have to wait out in the cold for us,” you greet as the three of you walk up to him.

“I know, but it’s easier this way so I can show you where we’re sitting versus trying to text it to you,” Florian responds with a smile.

“Woww thick, sweet, and looks like Hercules reincarnated? Sis marry him or I will!,” Daya whispers to you while you all follow him to the section him and his friends were seated.

“Can the man ask me out first? Better yet, can we get confirmation that he actually likes me?,” you whisper back, softly laughing at how your friend was basically trying to marry you off.

“What do you think this is?! Yea it’s not one on one, but open your eyes because he definitely asked you out it’s just in a group setting.”

Shaking your head, you direct your attention towards Florian as he introduces you to the rest of his friends seated on the plush couches. Meeting his crew made you truly understand the saying, ‘birds of a feather, flock together’ as all of his friends were equally as good looking and fit as he was. They also were just as nice immediately including you guys in their conversations and asking questions getting to know you. 

Seated next to Florian, you both took turns talking with your friends and maintaining your own conversation. You found out he was an actor and lived in Germany, which would explain why he didn’t seem fazed when standing outside in the cold. 

You also saw how down to earth and caring he was, which of course made you even more attracted to him and was something you didn’t want to happen. Not that you weren’t open to a relationship, it’s just long distance relationships were tough and came with plenty of challenges. That is if you guys became an actual item.

“Guys it’s almost time!,” Daya excitedly squeals, before joining Zeke at the bar to grab a glass of champagne.

“So if you don’t mind me asking, what’s something you wanna get out of the new year?,” Florian asks, green eyes seemingly hypnotizing you from how much attention he was giving you.

“This is probably gonna be really boring, but the basics as far as health, positivity, success. But what I’m most concerned about, is whatever is meant for me making it’s way to me for the next year, decade, and rest of my life,” you answer, twisting the stem of your own champagne glass between your fingers, making the liquid lightly swirl. “What about you?”

“Definitely more success and health, and I just hope to spend as much time with my family and friends as I can.”

Just as he finishes, you hear people around starting to countdown from 10 signaling that the New Year would be coming soon. Both of your groups stayed seated as the timer on the screens around went back from five and eventually got to zero making everyone yell out “Happy New Year!”

You hugged Daya and Zeke, before they turned to each other to have an infamous New Years kiss, which was on the minds of the other couples there as well. That was always the awkward part about New Year’s Eve parties. It seemed that everyone around you was glued to someone else’s face, while you stuffed yours with snacks. 

Setting those thoughts aside, you turn to hug Florian and wish him a Happy New Year, to which he does the same; kissing you on the cheek and making you giggle as you squirm back a bit.

“Sorry, my beard’s a bit ticklish,” he laughs instinctively reaching his hand up to lightly graze his beard. 

“No it’s ok,” you smile. In that moment, it was as if both of you were on the same wavelength as you both leaned in to meet the other’s lips. Lightly caressing your head with his hand, your hands find their way to his hoodie softly clutching the fabric as if to not ruin it. As you both pull apart, part of you is amazed at the fact that truly just happened while the other wishes it never stopped.

“You got some uh gloss on your lips,” you say, giggling as you hand him a napkin. Letting out a deep chuckle, he wipes the product from his lips before discarding the paper on the table in front of him. 

“Is that the same lip gloss I handed you earlier?”

“Yea, why? You’re not allergic are you?!”

“No no! Don’t worry, I’m just thanking God that I gave it back to you,” he winks, causing that giddy feeling to well inside of you again, as all of your friends can be heard doing various wolf whistles and shouts around the both of you.

Waiting Game

Another quick imagine based off a certain giant coming for our necks today😂 and thanks @melinda-january for uploading this post💕!

Pairing: Florian MunteanuxBlack Reader

Warnings: None!

“Ohh look at this dress! It’d look perfect on you Y/N!,” Lindsey smiles, holding the piece of clothing up to you.

Powder pink with spaghetti straps and ending mid thigh, the bodycon dress was simple yet definitely made a statement. It also fit your style perfectly and seeing that it was blazing hot outside, you felt it was definitely needed.

“Ohh I love it! I’m gonna go try it on, will you tell me how it looks?”

“Of course! Go ahead and I’ll hold everything for you.”

While the boys, Florian and Masias, were in the gym and doing some things on set, you and Lindsey decided to have a girl’s day shopping and site seeing. You both agreed to meet up for lunch around 12, but, as what tended to happen while you were shopping, you lost track of time.

“Omg that dress is gorgeous on you!! If you don’t buy it I will,” she smiles as you twirl in front of her.

“Oh no worries I’m definitely getting this!,” you laugh as you look at yourself in the mirror. Hearing your phone vibrate, you rush to your purse to see Florian’s name pop up on the screen and already knew what he was gonna say.

“I know we agreed for 12 and it’s 12:30, but we’re leaving the mall now and will try to be there by 1-1:30.”

“Good because I thought I’d have to call the cops,” he laughs. “And I know you, you’re still in a store, probably in a dressing room, and won’t get here until close to 3 when we’re already passed out from starvation.

“Ha ha very funny. Just for that we should show up at 5 and make you guys wait longer,” you smirk, Lindsey shaking her head as she laughs at your antics.

“Aw don’t be mad,” he laughs, feeling the rumbles of his deep laugh through the phone. “I promise not to rush you again.”

“Yea yea whatever, I’ll see you later,” you softly laugh before hanging up, and getting out of the dress to put your regular clothes back on.

———

Back at your hotel, you both decided to freshen up before meeting the guys for lunch. Also what better way to show off some of the things you guys bought?

You in your new dress with matching heels and Lindsey in her white mini skirt, orange cropped halter top, and wedges, you both stood in the mirror finishing your makeup and occasionally dancing to the songs playing from your phone.

Momentarily interrupting your music, your phone chimes signaling a new message. And if you had to guess, you were sure it was from Florian.

*from Flo🧸❤️* the Snapchat notification read as you picked up the phone. “Uh oh, Godzilla just messaged me so we better hurry,” you both laugh quickly getting your purses together.

Opening the app, you see Florian sitting outside with drink in hand as his foot bounces up and down.

Flo🧸❤️: It’s 1:30 love, care to join us now?

Y/N: I promise we’re coming down now and if you don’t see us in the next few minutes, then you can call the cops lol

Y/N: Also you said you weren’t gonna rush us anymore🤨 lol

Flo🧸❤️: That was before mine and Masias’ stomachs started hurting so please come down quick😭

Y/N: Lol we’re coming calm down 😂

———

“Ok we’re here you guys can eat now! Sorry we’re late shopping made us lose track of time,” Lindsey explains sitting next to Masias and kissing him on the cheek.

“And we’re also sorry for having you guys sit here while your stomachs were hurting,” you add innocently smiling before kissing his lips.

Crossing his arms as he leans back to look at you, you get a bit nervous thinking maybe you really upset him by taking so long.

“What’s wrong? Flo I really am sorry, I promise I didn’t try to be purposely late-,”

“Is this why you were late?,” he asks referring to your outfit.

“Yea technically...”

“Then it was definitely worth the wait,” he smirks leaning in to kiss your lips again.

“Well as they say great things come to those who wait,” you wink before he wraps an arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer to him.

Trick or Treat

Hey guys! In honor of it being Halloween, I wanted to write a quick imagine with someone different, and I hope you like it!

Pairing: Viktor Drago x Black Reader

Warnings: None (all fluff!)

Word Count: 1,408

“Okay, so you watch scary movies to be scared on purpose, but you don’t like to be scared..,” Viktor repeated trying to make sense of how you chose to spend Halloween. As a child in the Ukraine, he didn’t really celebrate the holiday so now that he was living in the states, he wanted you to tell him everything he needed to know.

“I know it sounds crazy, but yes. With movies I know it’s not real so I’m fine but actually having it in my face like with haunted houses, I’m not the biggest fan,” you admitted with a laugh making him smile. Sitting on your couch, you both shared a bucket of popcorn as you watched Friday the 13th, one of your favorite horror movies. Your plan tonight, as it was pretty much every Halloween, was to stay inside your apartment and have a movie marathon while handing out candy to any kids who may come by.

So far the only trick or treaters you had were a couple with their infant, who were dressed up as Ariel, Prince Eric, and Flounder which made your heart melt. Not being familiar with Disney princesses, Viktor didn’t fully understand your excitement, but agreed that they did look cute.

“Why he kill all the teens?,” he asked focused on the screen in front of him currently showing Jason stabbing a girl in the woods as her boyfriend fled screaming for help. “Well it goes back to when he was a kid. He drowned while at that camp since the counselors weren’t paying attention and originally his mom went after them for revenge, but then her son, Jason, started killing them after being motivated by her to do it,” you finish trying your best to sound creepy and wiggling your fingers mystically.

“Oh ok and it take a lot to scare me Y/N,” Viktor softly smiles gently bringing your hands down. “You say that, but I can see the fear in your eyes Drago,” you smirk before being pulled closer by the gentle giant.

“Mhmm sure,” he replies before kissing your forehead. Catching you off guard, you hear a loud knock at the door slightly making you jump and grab onto the boxer, which of course caused Viktor to let out a rumble of a laugh, “Looks like someone else is scared.”

“I’m not scared, it just surprised me there’s a difference!,” you laugh hitting his arm as you stood to make your way to the door, which he probably hardly felt due to his huge stature. “Do you want to hand out the candy this time?”

“No it’s ok, you do better job,” he nervously smiles. He wouldn’t admit it, but you could tell he was nervous about it due to his fear of how people might react. Adults he wasn’t too concerned about, but he didn’t want any kids to be scared away because of his towering frame and his reputation as this heartless monster. You wanted to tell him that it was ok and he had nothing to worry about, but not wanting to go about it the wrong way you kept quiet and just replied with a small smile.

“Trick or Treat!!,” the older kids loudly greeted as they held out their bags. “Here you go, Happy Halloween guys!,” you replied giving each of them a handful of candy from your cat covered bucket.

“Whoa is that Viktor Drago?,” one of the kids asked softly, who was coincidentally dressed as a boxer. “Yea, do you want to meet him?,” you ask matching the boy’s whisper.

“No um, it’s ok. Thanks for the candy,” he nervously answers before walking away, whispering with the other boys with him. With a small shrug, you close the door before setting the bucket back on the table and joining Viktor back on the couch.

“What costumes?,” he asked bringing one arm around your shoulders and using the other to pull the blanket over your legs. “Ninja, Batman, and a boxer,” you answer nudging him at the mention of the last costume, causing him to shyly smile.

“Next time the doorbell rings can you please hand out candy with me? I know you’re nervous about scaring people away, but I promise you won’t and everything will be fine love,” you try to reassure as you take his hand in yours to kiss. “We’ll see,” he answers after leaning down and kissing your lips.

__________

Now on your third movie of the night, Hocus Pocus, you and Viktor were still in the same position on the couch. You thought he probably wouldn’t be interested in the movie and rather watch something else, but to your surprise he was just as focused on this one as he was the others. You also gave him the option to pick which one he would like to see, but he wanted you to choose instead, saying that you were the Halloween expert and would know the perfect movies to watch.

More trick or treaters of all ages came to the door throughout the night. Each time you would look at Viktor with bright eyes as a signal to see if he wanted to hand out candy, but he was still a bit apprehensive about it and would lightly shake his head.

Seeing that it was getting late, you figured things would start to die down soon. Plus you were starting to run out of candy, which meant that you’d definitely have to call it a night. Hearing a knock at the door once again, you got up to see what costumes would be behind the door this time, but were surprised to hear what sounded like a bunch of excited whispers.

Opening the door, you were met with a crowd of teens, kids, and a few parents all smiling while some held pieces of paper and pens. “Sorry to bother you again. I promise we’re not here for more candy, but we were wondering if we could take you up on that offer to meet Mr. Drago?,” the boy from before who was dressed as the boxer asked with his best smile.

“Speak for yourself, I want candy too please!,” a small child exclaimed from his parents arms, making everyone else around laugh, including yourself. “Um hold on let me see,” you answer sweetly before leaving the door cracked to call for Viktor.

“You ok?,” he asked concerned meeting you at the door. “Yea I’m fine, but take a look outside,” you answer opening the door, excited to see his expression. Scanning the crowd in front of him, his green eyes went wide as he was met with cheers and excited squeals.

“You do this?,” he asked turning to you thinking this was your plan to get him to try to lose his nervousness. “No, your fans just wanted to see you,” you smile rubbing his back and making his soft smile return again.

“Mr. Drago can I have your autograph? Unless you’re busy then it’s ok,” the young boy asked nervously switching from standing on one foot to the other. “Not busy and I’d love to,” he replies with a smile as he bends down to the boy’s height.

One by one Viktor began signing autographs and taking pictures with his fans. They asked him all sorts of questions from if he and Adonis were friends to when his next fight would be, and with who, which he couldn’t say. He tried to get to everyone, but a visit from the landlord saying how that many people in the hall was a fire hazard quickly shut everything down and people began making their way out of the building. That is, not before doing a small “Drago” chant, which made him blush.

After locking the door and putting away your bucket, you and Viktor snuggled back on your couch to continue your marathon. “See I told you, you have nothing to be afraid of,” you say wrapping your arms around his waist as you lay your head on his shoulder to which he leans his head on top of yours.

“Thank you,” he spoke after a few moments of silence passed. “For what?,” you ask playing with his fingers.

“My favorite Halloween,” he answered kissing the top of your head before returning back to the movie with you.

Random Act of Kindness

Prompt: Florian’s nice gesture for his girl doesn’t end the way he expects

Pairing: Florian MunteanuxBlack Reader

Warnings: None all fluff 💕

“I’m sorry ma’am, but it looks like your doctor hasn’t made the request for the medication to get refilled yet. We’ll try to call them again tomorrow tho-,”

“But I need that medicine now! I only have 2 pills left!,” the irate customer interrupted clearly not grasping what you were trying to explain.

“I understand the inconvenience you’re having, but as I said there’s nothing we can really do-,”

“No you don’t understand! Where’s your manager?”

“He’s just gonna tell you the same thing I just said!,” you thought to yourself before mentally taking a breath.

“I’ll go get him for you just give me a moment.”

Making your way to the back of the pharmacy, you receive a knowing look from your boss as he shakes his head clearly hearing what happened.

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Mrs. Henry you take a break. You deserve it,” he smiles before retreating to the front counter. Although at times you hated your job, mostly when you had to deal with angry customers, having an amazing boss who was heaven sent made things go by a little easier.

Finally able to sit down and take a few breaths, a vibration from your front pocket removes you from your temporary meditative state.

👅Muscles💪🏼: Hey babes😘! How’s everything?

Y/N: Hey love🥰😘! And honestly terrible, I’ve had 2 customers so far yell at me today for stuff that I clearly can’t control 🙃

Y/N: Definitely ready to go home lol

👅Muscles💪🏼: Speaking of, my breaks over and coach is giving me “the look” lol so I gotta go. See you tonight, love you😘😘!!

Y/N: Lol ok see you then and love you too🥰😘😘😘!!

———

After hours of standing on your feet and a couple more disgruntled citizens later, you were glad to see the 4 walls of your loft apartment. So happy that you didn’t even make it to the living room; instead, sliding down the door as soon as you closed it with a content sigh.

“I hope you’re not planning on staying there all night,” Florian laughed squatting down in front of you in his usual grey sweats and black tee.

“I mean I wasn’t but my feet hurt so bad I don’t think I can make it to the room,” you pout, looking up at him with puppy dog eyes.

“I think I can help with that.”

Swiftly picking you up in his arms, he carries you upstairs to your bedroom before lightly tossing you on the bed and making you giggle.

“And for your Uber ride to the bedroom, that’ll be $40,” he jokes, taking off your sneakers and socks.

“Alright I’ll pay you back,” you laugh, wrapping your arms around his neck as you stood on your knees to kiss him.

“I know you had a rough day today, so you shower and get comfortable and meet me downstairs for your surprise.”

“Ohh surprise! Can I get a hint pretty please?”

“No you can’t, but you can see it as soon as you shower and get dressed,” he deeply chuckles, kissing your cheek as you poke your lip out not happy about having to wait to get your surprise.

Although you planned to shower quick so you could get to Florian and your surprise faster, your body had different plans once the hot water hit you. It seemed all the tension caused by the day started to melt away the longer you stood there letting droplets of water cascade down your body. And when the water hit your back?! That was another level of relaxation as the comfortable beating of the water felt like a mini massage, making you slowly breathe in and out.

Finally done with your shower, you walk downstairs in an old shirt of Florian’s and your pajama shorts to see your table nicely set, along with lit candles and flowers. Finishing his conversation with who you assumed was his parents, he places two plates down across from each other before extending his arms to show what he did.

“Surprise!”

“Aww babe, you made dinner?! And bought me flowers?,” you smile hugging him.

“Yea, I wanted to do something special for you not only because you had a bad day, but because I love you and hope you always know that.”

Standing on your tip toes, you wrap your arms around his waist as you kiss his lips. “Thank you babe, and trust me I know and I love my surprise and you so much!”

Pulling out your chair for you, you sit down peering into your steaming plate full of color from the different ingredients he used.

“It’s a traditional Romanian pasta dish with a side of mixed vegetables. Before you got home I FaceTimed mama to help me with it since we both know I’m not the best at cooking,” he explained with a smile. “Hopefully you like it!”

“I’m sure I will, it looks good and smells amazing!”

Taking a bite of the pasta, you let out a satisfied moan as you lightly nod your head giving him your seal of approval that it tasted good. Florian, meanwhile, quietly letting out a breath he was holding in, afraid that you wouldn’t like it or something worse happening.

Before you could take another bite, a sneeze creeps it’s way through your nose making you sniff before returning to your food. “Bless you, you’re not getting sick on me are you?”

“No I feel fine, it was just a lone one. Or possibly from the pepper,” you smile before continuing with dinner.

As you both ate, you talked about what happened today at the pharmacy and he told you about what the studio was making him do for his next role. You also asked him how mama and tata were doing, to which he answered they were fine and wanting the two of you to visit soon.

Both of you full from clearing your plates, and from also getting seconds, and in Florian’s case thirds, you got up to wash dishes thinking it’s only right since he did all the cooking and was probably tired. Turning the water off as soon as you cut it on, he lifts you up to place you on the counter next to him, apparently not letting you lift a finger today.

“I got this, you sit there and look pretty,” he winks scrubbing the first plate.

“But you cooked though and I know you’re tired from training earlier today, I can wash-,” you started before sneezing not once, but twice back to back.

“You sure you feel ok? You’ve sneezed a lot during dinner.”

“Yea I’m fine, if anything it might be allergies,” you sniff, well try to only to find that one nostril is blocked.

“What is going on with me?,” you thought pinching the bridge of your nose in hope of relief. Out the corner of your eye, you see the 3 vases filled with various flowers on the table.

“No no no!,” you spoke to yourself as you hopped off the counter, hoping what you were thinking wasn’t true.

“What? What’s wrong?!”

Searching through the flowers, you see the culprit for your sudden sneezing fit: purple aster. Although they were beautiful mixed in with bouquets, you were extremely sensitive to them and had been since you were little.

“It’s this purple aster. I’m allergic to it which is why I’ve been sneezing,” you answer, sneezing yet again.

“I’m so so sorry Y/N! Here let me get rid of them, you go lay down upstairs.” Not giving you a chance to respond, he leads you towards the stairs before returning back to the table to pick the aster out of one vase and search through the others just in case.

“It’s ok you didn’t kno-Flo! Put me down I’m ok!”

With you wiggling on his shoulder, he takes you upstairs, placing you on the bed yet again today.

“Please stay here so you don’t get worse or else I have no problem doing that again,” he jokingly warns before kissing your forehead and going back downstairs to finish cleaning up.

———

“Flo please don’t feel bad, I’ll be better tomorrow or the next day. This doesn’t last long,” you smile rubbing his stomach. After cleaning up the dishes, Florian joined you in bed, handing you a tissue whenever you needed as you snuggled into his side.

“I can’t help it though, if I knew you were allergic to those flowers I would’ve never bought them.”

“But you didn’t know, and it could always be worse! You could’ve given me peanuts-,”

“Wait you’re allergic to peanuts too?!,” he asks looking down at you worried.

“No! I’m not,” you answer laughing. Sitting up, you gently tilt his bearded chin so you could look into his eyes.

“I was just saying that things could’ve been worse so don’t beat yourself up about it. You didn’t know I was allergic to aster, but I’m not allergic to the other flowers you bought, which definitely made me feel better after a crappy day.”

“You sure? Seeing that now you can’t breathe?,” he asks with a raised eyebrow.

“Yes I’m sure,” you laugh snuggling up to him again before sneezing into your arm yet again. “And I’m also sure that I love everything you do for me no matter what the outcome is.”

“Aw thanks! I love you Y/N.”

“I love you too Flo,” you yawn before closing your eyes. Although he already knew you loved him, hearing you say that made him smile to himself as some of the guilt from earlier began to disappear.

Another quick idea I had (plus my allergies have been killing me lol), so I hope you guys like it!🤓

First Day

Hey guys! So today was the first day of school for kids in my hometown (not for me though since I don’t have to worry about school for a while lol), and I thought of this cute imagine idea and just wanted to write it really quick, if you guys don’t mind :). Also, since it was a last minute idea, I hope it makes sense and doesn't sound terrible. For anyone that follows me or sees this and you’re going back to school/college, good luck, you got this, and I wish you much success this year/semester and for all those that come after!! <3

Warnings: None (just fluff!)

Word Count: 1,707

“Wake up Mama, Tata! It’s the first day of school!,” your five-year old son, Atlas, shouts, jumping on your bed. “Sweety, remember I said I was gonna come in and wake you when it was time?,” you yawn turning over towards your very hyper child.

“I know, but I’m excited!,” he answers plopping down beside you to hug your neck just as your alarm chimes and vibrates your beside table. “Tata!! Wake up! The alarm said so!,” he exclaims now climbing on Florian’s abdomen and poking his cheeks.

“But I don’t want to,” he groans pulling the covers up closer to him and covering Atlas’ head, which made him giggle. “Nooo I’m the one going to school, you have to take me!,” he corrects removing the sheet from his head and scooting closer to his father’s face.

“I know I know I’m just messing with you my sweet prinţ,” Florian smiled picking Atlas up and holding him in the air as he sat up, causing his giggle fit to return. Fully awake now from your adorable wake up call, you and Florian both got out of bed to begin getting ready for the day.

You tried not to think too much of it, but watching your son play as you made breakfast started to make you more emotional as time passed. It seemed as if it was yesterday that you brought him home from the hospital, bundled up in a small white blanket.

Now was his first day of kindergarten and you didn’t know how you were going to make it without crying every 10 minutes. If only you could turn back time to where he was a baby again, and freeze it so you could keep him that small forever and cuddle him.

“Mama look! I look like Tata!,” you heard Atlas say, taking you out of your thoughts. “Ohh you do love! You look so handsome!,” you smile bending down to kiss his cheek.

Last night, Florian said that he wanted to dress him for his first day, which made you figure that he would have something up his sleeve, but you couldn’t figure out what until now. Wearing his school uniform of khaki’s and a navy blue polo shirt, he also had on white Air Force 1s and a gold cross chain Florian recently bought him.

“Babe are you sure you want him to go to school in his chain? What if something happens to it?,” you ask walking with Atlas to the table to help him sit in his chair to eat. “It’s the first day, my boy’s gotta look fresh!,” Florian responds lightly pinching his cheeks and making him giggle. “Plus if anybody messes with you, what did Tata teach you to do?”

“Punch them in the face!,” your son responds with a mouth full of waffles, standing up in his chair to throw air punches. It amazed you how much he was like Florian.

Atlas might’ve looked just like you, but from his green eyes to his mannerisms and facial expressions, he was definitely his father’s child. “Alright Mike Tyson, sit down before you fall,” you laugh grabbing his backpack to put his lunch in as well as some of his supplies. “What did mommy tell you to do though if someone messes with you?”

“To first tell the teacher and then if they put their hands on me, that’s when I punch them,” he answers sitting down and finishing his breakfast. “Exactly,” you wink at Florian, in turn making him playfully roll his eyes at you as he sat down to eat his food.

Once you and Florian were dressed, and double checked to make sure Atlas had everything, you all left to drop him off at school. You were glad that Florian drove, because the closer you guys came to the school grounds, the more emotional you could feel yourself getting.

You thought about all the what ifs that could happen while he was away from home, like someone picking on him or him getting lost trying to get to the library, for example, and having a meltdown. As if he could sense your nervousness, Florian softly squeezed your hand as he brought it up to his lips, which was his way of telling you that everything would be okay.

“Eww!,” Atlas said from the backseat with a giggle as he covered his eyes. “Hey you’re gonna have a girlfriend that you’re gonna do that with one day,” Florian smiled peeking at him through the rearview mirror.

“No I’m not, girls are icky,” Atlas replies playing with his Woody and Buzz Lightyear toys. “You say that now, but once you’re a teenager you’ll be saying something different,” you softly laugh turning around to tickle his legs.

Now you were thinking about him being a teenager in high school and then going off to college, which made you want to sob even more.

__________

Walking up to his classroom, you told yourself you needed to keep it together not only so you wouldn’t look like THAT parent, but also so Atlas wouldn’t start getting emotional himself and not want to go. Although he didn’t seem like he didn’t want to go in, you could tell that he was nervous about this new environment from how close he held yours and Florian’s hand to his face, almost shielding his eyes.

“Hello, I’m Mrs. Bloom,” a short, middle-aged woman with long red hair cheerily greeted as you three walked into the classroom. “And who might you be young man?”

“Atlas Munteanu,” he shyly answered from behind your leg. “His name is actually Florian Atlas Munteanu, but having two Florian’s in one house can get confusing so he goes by Atlas,” Florian answers with a small laugh, playing with one of Atlas’ curls.

“Ohh such a pretty name for a handsome boy! If you want, you can go find your seat and talk with the other kids while I talk with your parents,” Mrs. Bloom smiled, bending down to talk to Atlas. Looking up at the both of you, he squeezed your hands a bit tighter, signaling how he didn’t want to move from his spot between you and Florian.

“It’s ok love, you can go find your seat,” you smile squatting down next to him. “Remember what we talked about last night.” “That everything will be ok,” he responds looking down at his feet. “But what if they don’t like me?,” Atlas whispered in your ear, nearly making your heart break and take him home at that moment, forgetting about the first day of school.

“Then they’re crazy because you are the smartest, funniest, kindest, and coolest kid that they’ll ever meet,” you smile as you whisper back in his ear. Appreciating your mini pep talk, he hugs your neck and kisses your cheek before turning to Florian to do the same and going to find his desk.

“I take it you must be Florian 1,” she smiles shaking Florian’s hand before turning towards you. “And your name dear?”

“Y/N. Nice to meet you Mrs. Bloom,” you smile shaking her hand as well. “Nice to meet you both! Just to let you know, today will be pretty light as far as teaching, and homework is rarely given unless it’s unfinished classwork,” she explains taking turns looking at both you and Florian. “Were there any questions you had for me, or any information I needed to know about Atlas?”

“I don’t think we have any questions, but I do have a list of secondary phone numbers just in case something happens and for some reason you can’t get either one of us,” you mention handing her the folded up sheet of paper from your pocket. “And these are 2 of his uncle’s numbers too if you can’t get anyone on the list,” Florian adds handing the teacher a piece of paper with Masias’ and Sandro’s number on it.

“Ok thank you, I’ll keep these in his file. I guess if there’s nothing else then I’ll see both of you this afternoon!,” she smiles before you all say your goodbyes. Taking one last look at Atlas before you guys leave, you see him sitting at his desk talking with one of his classmates and coloring.

“Just wait until you get to the car, then you can cry all you want,” you repeat to yourself trying to hold back your tears. Holding onto Florian’s arm as you guys walk out the classroom, you hear a light knock on the window causing both of you to turn around to see Atlas holding up a sign that he colored saying “I LOVE YOU!,” and waving at the both of you.

Waving back at him, you wait until he turns around to go back to his seat and continue his conversation with his new friend before you bury your head in Florian’s chest, fully sobbing in the middle of the hallway. “It’s ok love, we’ll see him in a few hours. Please don’t cry,” he whispers as he rubs up and down your back trying to soothe you.

“First drop off?,” you hear a man ask Florian to which he nods, still holding you and rubbing your back. “I understand, been there three times,” he softly laughs before handing Florian tissues and patting him on the shoulder. “It’s gonna be alright guys.”

Thanking the man, you expected for Florian to hand you the tissues, but was caught off guard to hear his sniffles and him blowing his nose. Looking up, you see him wiping tears from his red eyes and off his equally red cheeks making your heart melt.

“Aww babe, you’re crying too,” you softly laugh wiping the drops of tears that still sat on his beard. “Yea I know I’m a big softy,” he lightly chuckles wiping the tears from your eyes as well.

“And there’s nothing wrong with that. You’re my big softy and I love you for that,” you smile taking his hands to kiss his knuckles. “I love you too. Now we might want to leave before Atlas sees us, or we get judged more than we already have been,” Florian laughs as you both walk out of the school hand in hand.

Decisions, Decisions (1)

Hey guys! For those who have been wondering, I know I haven’t uploaded anything in about a while and I’m sorry about that. I’ve just been a bit busier lately and don’t have as much free time to upload as I did before. Also it’s like I’ve been wanting to write and have come up with a bunch of ideas, but actually having the motivation to write is like another story lol. But I’m trying to get on a schedule so hopefully I can get more things out! Ok so now that I’m done with that explanation, a little backstory! This prompt/idea was given to me by @lovelymari4 about the reader being liked by both Masias and Florian, and having to choose between them. Again, thank you for giving me this idea and I hope that you like it and it’s what you imagined! Since there are different choices to be made in this story, I decided to have alternate endings, so there will be a total of 3 (yes 3!) different endings/scenarios that I’ll upload to go with the story! Ok I think that was everything I wanted and needed to say so hope you guys like it!

Warnings: none (sorry if it’s a little slow for this first part)

Word count: 4,098

“Hey make sure the store is set up and clean please? I got some friends coming over today and I want to make sure everything looks alright,” Brayden, your older cousin, instructs over the phone. “I’ve been trying to call Alia for the past 10 minutes and she still hasn’t said anything so if you see her can you tell her to be on her best behavior?”

“The store is ready don’t worry, I just finished hanging up the last of the clothes now. And she just walked in the door so I’ll let her know,” you answer from your seated position on the counter. “Thanks Y/N! This is why you’re my favorite cousin. Don’t let Alia know though,” he excitedly responds with a small chuckle.

“Yea yea whatever, I’ll see you in a few,” you reply with a laugh before hanging up the phone. “Hey Lia! Brayden says he has friends coming over and from his tone, they sound special so he just wanted to give us a heads up to have everything ready,” you say to your other older cousin, who currently looks like she would rather be anywhere but here.

“Alright, whatever,” she replies with a sigh, leaning back on the counter you were sitting on. “You ok? You look either sad or frustrated,” you ask placing your hand on her shoulder to try to comfort her through whatever she was feeling.

“No, it’s Max. I was texting him yesterday right? Then all of a sudden it stops so I figure ok he’s sleeping or busy. But then I look on Instagram and see he’s liking his best friend’s post where she’s out and about on vacation and then commented ‘Come back soon, we gotta hang out’,” Alia finishes now with her body turned towards you.

“Yea I’ll admit that’s not a good look. Did he ever respond back to your message?,” you ask lightly kicking your feet back and forth. “Yea he responded a little bit after, but I was frustrated and didn’t want to talk to him anymore so I’ve been ignoring him ever since,” she responds, twiddling with her fingernails.

“Well I know what he did made you frustrated, but I would try to talk to him about it. I doubt he did that on purpose to hurt you or because he’s messing around with her,” you explain. “Maybe he was on Instagram when the message came through and meant to respond when he was done. Or he could’ve possibly forgot? I know I do that sometimes.”

“Excuse me, but whose side are you on? His or your dearest cousin whom you’ve known since birth?” she asks with a small laugh, lightly hitting your leg. “I’m just saying! Before you think the worst take a step back and get all the details first,” you respond, lightly nudging her arm.

“Ugh why are you always right?,” Alia asks with a small groan before lying her head on the counter next to you. “I’m not always right, I just tend to say smart things here and there,” you laugh hopping off the countertop. “Here I have something that’ll make you feel better.”

Hearing the familiar beat, Alia lifts her head with a smile on her face as she begins to sway to the music. Whenever she was upset, all anyone had to do was play her song and she would instantly start to feel better.

“Look what you made me do, I’m with somebody new. Ooh, baby, baby, I’m dancing with a stranger,” she sung dancing around the floor and causing you to laugh. “Come on Y/N, this is your part and you better not leave me hanging!”

Rolling your eyes, you walk from behind the counter to stand across from her as you belt out the next few lyrics.

“I wasn’t even going out tonight. But, boy, I need to get you off my mind. I know exactly what I have to do. I don’t wanna be alone tonight, alone tonight, alone tonight,” you sing as you climb onto the bench a few feet away. Singing the chorus, you pretend as if you’re singing into a microphone while Alia takes out her phone to record you.

Being so wrapped up in your fun and the song, neither one of you heard Brayden come in, followed by his special friends. “And as you see, we’re very relaxed here in the shop,” he says with a laugh, slightly startling you and Alia.

Quickly climbing off the bench and turning down the music, you and Alia walk towards the group of four men to introduce yourselves. “What a great first impression Y/N, they’re definitely judging you now,” you think to yourself.

“Guys this is Florian, Masias, and Sandro. Boys these are my cousins I told you about, Alia and Y/N,” Brayden introduces as waves and ‘nice to meet you’s are exchanged. “Look around and see if there’s anything you like and if you need help any of us are here, but you’d probably want to talk with our fashion expert,” he adds wrapping his arm around your shoulders before walking towards the register.

None of these guys seemed like they needed help in the fashion department. They all had a comfy and casual look mixed with a bit of streetwear style that was very popular right now.

And seeing as that was the specialty of the shop, they could literally pick up anything and it would probably fit them well. Walking to counter to let the men look around, you picked up your phone to start playing music again, this time choosing the usual Hip-Hop and Rap that typically sounded through the building.

“Excuse me, um fashion expert?,” you hear someone ask making you turn around to be met with soft green eyes and a bright smile. “I need help with getting something new.”

“Ok, what were you looking for?,” you ask walking Florian towards the wall where different racks of clothes stood. “Um nothing specific, just something new,” he smiles, standing next to you.

“Ok well this is all the newer items we’ve gotten today. Anything particular jumping out at you?,” you ask watching him scan through the different articles of clothes. “If it’s anything velvet or tight fitted he’ll find it,” Sandro adds with a smirk followed by Florian saying something to him in German and Sandro laughing before walking away.

“Well if you like velvet, I think I have something you’d like,” you smile quickly walking to the rack on the opposite wall and returning with a burgundy and black, hooded jacket. “Here try this on and see how you like it.”

“Just to let you know, everything I have isn’t velvet or tight fitted,” he corrects with a soft laugh as he puts on the jacket and checks himself out in the mirror. “Hey I wouldn’t judge if you do. According to my mother, everything in my closet has something wrong with it,” you laugh helping him straighten out the jacket in the back.

“Well I don’t know what all you have in your closet, but from what you’re wearing today I think you look good and can definitely see why you’re the expert,” he smiles peeking up at you in the mirror from messing with the jacket zipper. “So what do you think Y/N?”

“What do I think? I’m so shook I can’t think!” you thought as you looked at the man in front of you. “I think it looks good on you! And I promise I’m not just saying that to get you to buy it,” you answer with a smile. “I’m not the one who has to wear it though, so what do you think?”

“I’m really feelin it! I’m definitely gonna buy it,” he replies with a wink, catching you completely off guard and causing you to nervously giggle as you look down. “I’m glad you like it! Do you need help with anything else?,” you ask quickly collecting yourself.

“Nah I’m good for now. Thanks for your help Y/N, I really appreciate it,” he says with his hand over his chest, flashing that brilliant smile once again. “No problem, if you need anything else just let me know!,” you respond as you begin to make your way to your usual spot by the register.

“Hey um Y/N, can you help me too, that is if you’re not too busy? I’m not looking for anything special just a new outfit,” Masias asks before you reach the register, from the other side of the store. “Yea of course Masias! Do you have any preferences?,” you ask walking up to him and leading him to the nearby racks.

“No, no preferences really. I just like to be comfortable and look good,” he answers with a small laugh as you join in. “Ok well from your answer and what you have on now, why don’t we try these tops with these jeans?,” you suggest grabbing the items and leading him to the dressing rooms. “Let me know how these work for you and then if you want more things I can pull stuff for you,” you smile hanging up the clothes in the dressing room.

“Ok thank you Y/N,” Masias smiles back before closing the door to try on everything you gave him. Making your way back to the register, you notice Alia standing with her hands on her hips and a smirk spread across her face.

“What’s that look for?,” you ask standing beside her, legitimately confused on what you could’ve possibly done. “Oh nothing just the fact that two very attractive men are feeling you and you don’t notice it,” she answers, bumping you with her hip.

“They aren’t into me, they just needed help picking out clothes,” you respond rolling your eyes and brushing off her suggestion. “Um did you not hear Florian compliment you earlier? Or how about him winking at you and making you giggle like you were a little girl?,” she mentions crossing her arms in front of her. “Come on girl you can’t be THAT naïve.”

“Ok yeah he did those things but that doesn’t mean anything, he could just be overly friendly or a natural flirt like that. Plus that’s only with Florian, Masias hasn’t complimented me or anything,” you argued also crossing your arms and giving her the same look she was giving you back. “True he hasn’t said anything, but what about the fact that since he’s come out of the dressing room, he’s glanced over at you smiling while talking to his other friend Sandro?,” Alia stated, smirk returning back to her lips.

You were about to deny her observation until you happened to peak over her shoulder to see Masias, in fact, look at you and smile before going back to his conversation with Sandro. “Told you,” she slightly sings before you begin walking over to the dressing rooms to join them.

“How did everything work for you?,” you ask with a smile as Masias rubs the back of his neck slightly blushing. “Everything looked good! I’m gonna take it all,” he smiles back with his new clothes in hand.

“Great, I’m glad you liked them! If you’re ready to check out, I can take you at the register,” you reply leading him and Sandro to the front of the store. “Wow a stylist and musical, a real renaissance woman,” Masias smiles as you scan his items and give him his total.

“Yea sorry about that performance earlier, me and Alia were just playing around,” you softly laugh embarrassed that they all witnessed your antics. “It’s ok, you have a great voice and should definitely use it,” he assured, cheeks turning a rose color as he looked down to sign for his purchase.

“Thanks Masias, I appreciate it,” you reply, now looking down briefly yourself before you hear Alia clear her throat next to you. “You know it’s funny, I’ve told her the same thing for years now and she just won’t believe me,” she lightly laughs turning towards you as you give her your famous death glare.

“Thanks again for setting up me and my brothers man, we really appreciate it,” Florian smiles as he daps your cousin, followed by Sandro and Masias doing the same. “No problem man, you know I got y’all anytime! Come back and visit us the next time y’all are in town,” Brayden says walking with the men towards the door.

“Oh definitely!,” Florian answers, briefly looking at you and winking as Masias gives you a smirk before putting on his Ray Ban shades. After everyone said their goodbyes, and the trio was clear out of sight, Alia couldn’t help but let out an excited squeal as she clutched your shoulders.

“Did you see the way they looked at you before they left?! My cousin has admirers!,” she cheered lightly shaking your shoulders and causing you to laugh. Of course you saw what they did before they left, and was currently trying not to melt into a puddle on the ground because of it.

While part of you was just as excited as your cousin and wanted to bounce around the whole building, the guarded side of you knew it was best not to get too excited. Neither one of them even asked for your number so maybe they didn’t like you as much as she thought.

And not to say they were bad guys, but all they seemed to do was say the right things to get you acting like a blushing teenager with their first crush. You doubted it, but still you couldn’t help but wonder if this was all just them playing with the feelings of a somewhat naïve girl.

“Wait admirers? You talking about Flo and his crew?,” Brayden asks looking up from his phone, confused as to what Alia was squealing about. “Yea she thinks that Florian and Masias like me from how they were with me earlier when I helped them pick out some stuff,” you answer returning to your seat on the counter.

“Not think, know! You should’ve seen the way they both looked at her when you talked about them coming back, they had the eye sparkles,” Alia corrects as Brayden sits on the counter next to you. “Well if it’s true, it’s up to you Y/N on what you want to do. I’ve hung out with them before from when they were in LA last year and they’re great guys,” he adds with a smile, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.

“Well first off, neither one of them asked for my number so there’s nothing for me to think about right now,” you mention, looking down at your sneakers. “Oh it’s coming though and probably tonight. So if I were you, I’d definitely start thinking of which one you’d rather be calling da-,” she starts before being interrupted by you and Brayden’s ‘whoa’s.

“ALIA!,” you yell with a laugh swiping at her to shut up. “Yea that’s definitely not something I wanted or needed to hear, and luckily we have customers coming in so I don’t have to,” Brayden responds holding his hands over his ears as he hops off the counter to go greet the group that just entered.

The rest of the day went by just as any other. You tried not to think about the events from earlier, but couldn’t help to remember Florian’s winks and Masias smirking at you.

Plus the fact that you would occasionally sneak glances at your phone to see if maybe they had messaged you wasn’t helping either. By the time you were off of work, you still hadn’t heard anything, which you took as a sign that maybe your earlier thought was true.

They were just natural flirts and you happened to be the naïve girl who let herself get caught up, despite the efforts to stop yourself from doing so. You weren’t going to let yourself get upset by it though; this was just an L that you had to take and would surely move on from.

Arriving back to your shared apartment with Alia, you retreated to your room in order to begin your process of getting everything off your mind and forgetting the two men in question. Or so you thought.

Hearing your phone vibrate multiple times in a row, you lift it to your face to see that you had three follow requests from Instagram and two new direct messages. “You can’t be serious,” you say to yourself opening your phone to see if what you were thinking was in fact true.

“Can’t be serious about what?,” Alia asked stopping at your door concerned about what was going on. “Look,” you reply holding up your phone so she could see.

“OH SNAP!! I TOLD YOU THEY LIKED YOU!!,” she exclaims jumping in place. “Did they message you too?”

“I think so, but I haven’t looked at them yet,” you answer pulling your phone back towards yourself so you could read the messages. Since it was at the top, you tapped on the one from Masias to read it first.

Masias_tbn: Hey Y/N, thanks again for helping me pick out clothes today. I really appreciate it! This might be a little forward, but if you’re not doing anything tomorrow night, I wanted to know if maybe you’d want to hang out?

“Aww, he’s so adorable! What does the one Florian sent say?,” Alia asks sitting on your bed, chin resting on top of her hands.

bignasty: Hey fashion expert :P, I was wondering if you might want to hang out tomorrow night? If you’re busy, I understand though but would really love it if we could

“I’d really love it if we could. Okay bignasty I see you!,” she smirks playfully fanning herself and causing you to roll your eyes with a small laugh. “So who are you gonna chose? Ohh or you could go out with both!”

“No I’m not gonna go out with both of them, I wouldn’t feel right doing that especially since they’re friends. I honestly don’t know who to chose though, they both seem like great guys and even Bray said so,” you answer falling back on your bed beside her. “Well there’s no rush, you have until tomorrow to decide. Sleep on it and see what your heart says,” Alia responds lightly patting your arm.

“What if these guys are one of the cocky Hollywood types that think they’re God’s gift to the world though? Like they seem great, but looks can be deceiving,” you say feeling your heart race at the thought of getting yourself into a situation. “Well you won’t know until you give one of them a chance. I know you’re nervous, and at the end of the day not going out with either one of them is also an option, but don’t potentially miss out on something because of what ifs,” Alia answers with a small smile.

She had multiple points though. Seeing how you tended to overthink before taking one step, you knew you needed to relax and just take a risk for once even though it scared you not knowing what would be next.

Also you wouldn’t know how either of them was unless you got to know them. “Why do these things have to be so complicated? Or maybe I’m just the complicated one? Either way this sucks and I need a nap,” you thought as you sat up with a groan.

“You’re right, I’m gonna sleep on it and hopefully I make the best choice,” you reply as Alia stands up. “You’ll make the best choice, you just need to trust yourself to do it,” she smiles rubbing your back. “Now I’m gonna go make tacos because I’m starving and I know you want some too. Plus it’ll get your mind off of everything.”

“You know I can’t turn down tacos,” you smile standing up to follow her into the kitchen and try not to think of the decision you’d have to make later.

__________

Hearing the alarm and vibrations from your phone made you slowly stir from your sleep. Sun shining through your bedroom window and on your face, you sit up against the headboard and retrieve your phone from the middle of your bed.

Opening your phone, you were instantly met with your inbox showing the messages from both Florian and Masias, which brought back your slight anxiety about having to make a choice. Before going to bed, you thought maybe you could make a quick decision and be done with everything.

However, that quick decision turned into you staying up a good part of the night going back and forth with yourself. Why this was such a task for you? You didn’t know, but wished that you could get it together so you could have a clear headspace.

“Morning sunshine! I got breakfast downstairs,” Alia cheerily said as she knocked from the other side of your door. “Thanks Lia, I’ll be down in a minute,” you replied trying to rub the remaining sleepiness from your eyes.

Hopefully you’d make a decision eventually, but right now it wasn’t working out. After getting yourself ready, you met Alia downstairs who was putting the last of breakfast on the table.

“Hey! How are you feeling?,” she asked sitting down and beginning to place everything she wanted on the plate in front of her. “I’ve been better, but I’ve also been worse,” you smile sitting down to join her.

“Let me guess, still trying to pick which dream guy will have the pleasure of escorting you tonight?,” Alia replies dramatically waving her hand as if she were a royal. “Yea you could say that,” you laugh as you take a bite of your French toast. “I don’t understand why this is taking such a long time to decide. Like why can’t I just choose a guy and be done with it?”

“Well probably because you want to make the right choice, but there isn’t a right or wrong answer in this situation cousin. You just have to go with what you want,” she responded before taking a sip of her coffee. “What if I don’t know what I want though? Like I said yesterday both of them seemed great and I also don’t want to hurt anybody,” you reply with a small sigh, lightly stabbing your eggs with your fork.

With a small sigh, Alia puts her fork down and clasps her hands together in front of her looking as if she’s praying or in a deep meditative state. “Listen Y/N, in situations like this I’m not gonna lie, someone’s feelings may get a little hurt. But I also feel as though they’d be understanding seeing as though you’re following your heart and choosing someone you think you have, or would have, a stronger connection with,” she responds with a small, sympathetic smile on her face. “Plus in the case that the person you don’t choose has an attitude or is rude with you, I feel like that’s a huge red flag and a sign that the person you chose was better.”

“Yea you have a point,” you answer sitting back in your chair. “But I doubt that would happen here, they seem mature to handle that appropriately. You decide who you want to get to know better and who you think you’d have a better time with ok?,” Alia finishes with a reassuring smile as she reaches across the table to squeeze your hand. “Whatever happens next, just go with the flow.”

Again, she had a point. You just needed to relax and instead of thinking so much into it, just go along with whatever happens. It would also help if you focused on just having fun and making the most of the experience, rather than focusing on all the things that could go wrong.

“You’re right, I should just go along with how I feel, and I think I know what I’m gonna do now,” you smile reaching for your phone. “Thanks Lia, sorry if I sound paranoid or unreasonable.”

“You don’t have to thank me, you know I’m always here for you and don’t worry about sounding paranoid. There’s nothing wrong with being nervous about a date and what could happen,” she responds with a smile, waving off your thank you. “So who’s the lucky guy?”

“You’ll see tonight when he picks me up,” you smirk placing your phone down having just sent the message and focusing back on your breakfast.

My Bad (2)

Hey guys!! So this is the second and final part of My Bad and I hope you like it! :)

Warnings: Mix of angst and fluff (I know I know I’m sorry for the angst but I promise it won’t hurt that bad lol)

Word Count: 4,555 (again sorry if it’s too long)

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!,” you exclaim jumping up and down on the bed to wake him. Not in the mood to get up yet, he groaned pulling the covers over his head as he rolled over in the opposite direction as you.

“Nope, not getting rid of me that easily! Wake up sleepy head it’s your birthday!!!,” you shout now sitting beside him nudging him in the side. Before you could react, he turned around wrapping his arms around you to pin your body against his, eyes remaining closed the whole time.

“As my first birthday present, can we please sleep in longer?,” he groggily asks mumbling into your hair. “Flo it’s already 12, come on let’s go eat! I know you’re hungry,” you respond gently tugging on his beard so that he would hopefully get up.

With a sigh, he let you go as he sat up in bed rubbing his eyes and face to wake up. “I knew food would make you get up, works every time,” you smile hopping out of bed to pick out what to wear for the day.

“At least one of us knows someone here,” Florian thought as he walked to the bathroom to shower. He wanted to try to forget about everything for today and just focus on having a great birthday, but that voice began to get louder again the more awake he became.

“Okkaayy I see you birthday boy!!,” you say as he walks out of the room finally ready to go, slightly blushing from you gassing him up. “Black shirt with the double chains and fresh fade?! Call an ambulance because I can feel the impending cardiac arrest!,” you say as you dramatically grab your chest and lean on the kitchen counter.

“Stoopp love you need to relax,” he laughs before running his hand over his beard obviously feeling himself. “You look amazing as well,” he adds taking your hand to twirl you around.

“Thank you, but not as great as you,” you countered, grabbing your purse so you both could leave. “You’re right, but it’s because you look ten times better,” Florian corrected lifting up your chin to kiss you.

Although this moment was sweet and he could feel the love between the both of you, he could feel his heart breaking the longer he held you, or even looked at you. He really wanted to believe that you wouldn’t do something like this to him, but right now all the secrets and lies weren’t putting you in the best light.

The rest of the day he felt as if a cloud filled with pain and anger was hanging over him. He tried to put on a brave face and act like nothing was wrong, but having such expressive eyes and being one to wear his emotions on his sleeve, he knew you and everyone else could tell he was upset.

Walking around his favorite places to visit while home, he hardly said anything and just walked with his shades on and hands in his pockets looking disinterested. Dinner was pretty much the same as he sat there playing with his food, which was definitely different for Florian.

So far the day wasn’t going how you expected, but now was time for the party and you were hoping maybe that would help him feel better. “Hey are you ok? You’ve kinda been in a somber mood all day,” you ask grabbing his hand. “What’s going on?”

He didn’t know why, but at that question annoyance washed over him as he let out a laugh in disbelief. “It’s crazy how you ask that like you don’t know,” he retorted looking straight ahead out of the windshield.

“What do you mean?,” you ask genuinely confused at what he was trying to say. “You told me that you stayed at the coffee shop all day yesterday, yet I get a text while you’re in the shower from a friend of mine saying he saw you with Masias and was wondering where I was,” he explains. “Then when I asked you if you went anywhere else, you lied to my face about it.”

“Okay I’ll admit I lied about that and I’m sorry, but if you come inside with me we can talk about it more,” you say leaning towards the door to leave and hoping he would follow your movement. “No why don’t we talk about it here,” he countered now looking directly into your eyes with arms crossed in front of his chest, slightly raising his voice and making you jump.

You guys had never gotten into an argument like this before. Yea you would play fight, but nothing serious for him to react like this. “Flo please listen to me, I know things aren’t adding up and don’t look right. I promise though if you come inside with me we’ll discuss everything-,” you tried to explain before being cut off by him.

“Why?! So you can run to Masias for help with more lies? How long has this been going on between you two huh?!,” he snapped now making you mad yourself. “Alright 1? Lower your voice. Last time I checked I’m not your child and you can talk to me like an adult without yelling! 2. You really need to evaluate what’s happening right now before you make a fool of yourself,” you finish before getting out the car and walking towards the lounge.

Not wanting you to get away before he was finished with everything he had to say, he followed close behind you into the building until he was met with screams and confetti. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY FLORIAN!!!,” everyone yelled at the top of their lungs, scaring Florian and making him jump as he grabbed his chest.

“Happy Birthday babe, hope the surprise didn’t shock you too much,” you say just loud enough for him to hear before walking towards the bathroom. And it was at that moment that Florian knew...he messed up.

Still a bit in shock, he tried his best to greet everyone he could and hug all his friends and family. But the fact that he accused you of cheating when all the secrets were for his surprise party, made him feel worse than before.

His eyes wondered all around the dimly lit room to see if he could find you, but after only finding more guests, he realized you must have still been in the bathroom. Probably avoiding him, he guessed, which he couldn’t blame you for doing from how he treated you.

He knew he acted like a jerk and needed to make it up to you in the best way that he could think of. After a while of talking with his friends (and trying to forget about the events from the car), he found himself being served birthday shots and drinks from every direction, which of course he wouldn’t turn down. Especially not in this moment with how he was feeling.

After finishing a whole bottle of whiskey, Florian felt as if when he sat down he would melt into the couch cushion, which was the telltale sign that he was drunk. He also began doing weird hand movements while dancing to the Drake song currently blasting through the speakers, which was killing his friends as they snapped pictures and videos.

If he didn’t remember everything that happened, he would surely be reminded from all the evidence that would be sent to him throughout the day tomorrow. Seeing flickering lights from the back, everyone turned to watch the sheet cake be rolled out by some employees, along with yourself, while singing Happy Birthday.

Seeing your face brought back the guilt from his earlier reaction and all he could do was hug you as soon as you stood next to him. “Aww look at the cute couple!!,” everyone gushed causing you to smile out of embarrassment.

Although all you wanted to do was hide until the day was over, you knew you couldn’t avoid him forever. Especially since he was your ride and you guys were staying together.

Plus, you didn’t want anyone to see that you guys were having problems and potentially bring down the mood. The earlier plans of the day already ended horribly and you didn’t need this party to end up the same way.

After blowing out his candles, which took a little assistance from you seeing as though things were a little hazy for the big guy, you heard Leon yell, “Speech!,” as others joined in as well. “Oh boy, here we go,” you thought as a microphone was passed to Florian.

You knew two things could potentially happen and hoped that it would be the one that included him just saying a simple thank you to everyone and nothing more. Watching him stare at the cake though, you knew the opposite was about to happen.

You and Masias decided to get him a cake with a collage of different pictures on it of him with the important people in his life. There was one with his parents, Masias and Sandro, Leon, his coach, and you, which was the picture he was currently staring at before lifting his head to say a few words to everyone.

“So I’m not gonna lie, I’m a bit drunk right now so I don’t know how this will go,” he started, causing everyone to laugh. “First off thank you to everyone here for always being there for me and all the love you guys show me. I know I don’t get to talk to all of you a lot, but I want to let you guys know I love you so much.”

“Ok so far so good Flo. Now just thank everyone for coming out and-“ you thought before feeling him shift to look at you with soft eyes and sighing. “Spoke too soon.”

“What can I say about the woman next to me? She’s honestly so amazing and has put up with so much being with me, and I-,” he started as his voice began to crack and one stray tear fell from his eye. Before he could spill the details of your fight, you gently, yet quickly, took the microphone from his hands as he placed his chin on top of your head, wrapping his arms across your chest from behind.

“I know I’m not the birthday boy, but I’m sure he would want to also thank you guys for being here and always supporting him no matter what. He’s happy to see all of you guys here and hopes that you have an amazing time,” you smile finishing up for him, before being met with applause and cheers from everyone.

Once you saw that tear fall down his cheek, you knew you had to busy yourself doing something or else you would be a crying mess too, which you felt no one needed to witness. “I’m so sorry Y/N. I’m an idiot and-” Florian leaned down to whisper in your ear before being cut off by you turning around to grab his face.

“Not here,” you whispered back with a small smile before kissing his cheek and wiping the last of his tears away. Now was your turn to make your way around the room and try to talk to everyone since you didn’t do it before.

Part of him wanted to chase you and insist that you guys work it out now since he hated for you to be mad at him. But he knew it was probably best to have that discussion without his closest friends and family within earshot of you two. “So you liking your birthday surprise?,” Masias asked with a smile as he grabbed Florian’s shoulders.

“Yea thanks for doing this man, I really appreciate it,” he answered embracing him in their typical “bro hug”. “You’re welcome, but this was pretty much all Y/N. She came up with the idea and I just helped where I could,” he responded nodding over to where you were currently standing, laughing with Sandro about something.

“Yea speaking of that, I messed up bad man,” Florian admitted rubbing his hand over his head and making Masias concerned. “Here let’s go outside so we can hear each other better,” Masias replied leading his brother outside to a couple patio chairs more secluded than the rest.

“Alright, now what do you mean you messed up,” he asks sitting next to Florian who now had his head in his hands. “I thought she was cheating on me with you,” he confessed after a few moments of silence thinking of how he wanted to say it.

“What?! Why would you think that? You know I would never do that to you!,” he stated, shocked to hear what was coming out of his brother’s mouth. “I know you wouldn’t and I’m sorry for even thinking that. It’s just with the lies from the past couple of days and you guys hanging out, I couldn’t think straight,” he rambled before putting his head back in his hands.

“It’s ok Flo, I know this is all coming from your past relationship and what she did to you. And I know it hurt, but please don’t let the past ruin what you have right now with Y/N,” Masias responded putting his hand on Florian’s shoulder to try to comfort him. “She’s an amazing woman, who’s given you nothing but a hundred percent since day one.”

“I know, I know. I’m gonna talk to her when we get back home tonight,” he replied before letting out a yawn and leaning his head back. “With the amount of drinks you had tonight, the last thing you’re gonna do is talk,” Masias laughed taking a quick picture of his friend who somehow managed to fall asleep that quick.

As the party started to wind down and people began leaving, you started to help clean up even after Adan insisted that him and his employees could take care of everything. However, you didn’t feel right leaving everything a mess for them to have to clean up and stated how it was no problem for you to help.

Once everything was returned back to its normal state and you both said your goodbyes to the last few guests who left, you and Florian climbed in the back of his car as Masias drove you home. With Florian still being drunk and you not knowing how to drive on the other side of the road yet, Masias offered to drive you guys home and Ellie would follow behind in his car since they rode together.

Scratching the top of his head as he laid in your lap, you were glad everything went amazing tonight and everyone had fun, but now you had to deal with the emotions you had buried deep down to get through the party. You knew you lied, which was wrong and understood how it didn’t make things add up.

But for him to accuse you of doing something like that when you felt you had already shown Florian your loyalty to him, you were now the one hurt and angry. Seeing how he was currently sleeping, you hoped he would be too sleepy to want to talk when you got back home, so you wouldn’t have to deal with this right now.

You were about to find out soon enough though, as you watched Masias park in front of his place. Knowing Florian would be too much for you to try to carry and move on your own, he helped him out the car and into bed before telling both of you goodbye and leaving to enjoy the rest of his night with Ellie.

“Ughh Drake got me drunk,” he groans, followed by a small chuckle, lying in bed and rubbing his hands over his face probably due to the impending headache making its way to his temples. “No your friends got you drunk, Drake’s music was killed though from your terrible dance moves,” you laugh taking off his sneakers to get him ready for bed.

“You laughed! Does that mean I’m forgiven?,” he asks now slightly sitting up to look at you. “Flo you’re drunk, we can talk about that later ok? You need to rest,” you answer with a sigh, as you move towards the top half of his body to remove his jewelry and shirt.

Pulling the covers over him, you kiss his cheek before turning towards the bathroom to get ready for bed yourself. “Love you Y/N,” Florian says sleepily before turning over and softly snoring.

“Love you too Flo,” you softly say back with a small smile. Although you were pissed at him and honestly didn’t feel like being in the same room as him, that didn’t take away the love you had for Florian. Which, in turn, only made you feel even more hurt at the fact that he would think that you would ever cheat on him.

__________

The next morning Florian was definitely feeling the effects of the night before. With a groan, he lifted his head from his prone position to be met with the sunlight shining through the space between the curtains.

Shielding his eyes, he turned around to see a note on his beside table with two pills and a glass of water.

Morning! I know your head might be killing you a bit so take these and drink ALL the water! Also your protein shake is in the fridge :),  Y/N

Turning towards your side of the bed, he expected to see you still sleeping with the covers over your head as usual. Instead, he was met with what seemed like untouched sheets.

He tried to listen to see if maybe you were somewhere else in the apartment, but could only hear the birds chirping outside. Confusion quickly turned into fear as he rushed out of bed to check the rest of the apartment to see if what he was thinking was in fact true.

If what he did caused you to leave, he would never forgive himself and swore in that moment that he’d do whatever he could to make things right. That is, if you would let him.

Noticing the living room seemed brighter than usual, he found the blinds in front of his screen door had been pushed to the side and you were sat on his small porch, in his black hoodie, with your headphones in talking to your phone. Florian couldn’t help but sigh in relief as he walked closer to the door trying not to scare you.

“I’m sorry he did what now?!,” your best friend, Josie asked now just at pissed as you were, if not more. “He thought I was cheating with his friend and then confronted me in the car and raised his voice,” you repeated playing with the left earbud that you weren’t currently using.

“And what did you do?,” she asked now going back to washing her dishes. “I told him that I’m not a child and could be talked to like an adult. I also told him that he needed to stop before he embarrassed himself and then I got out the car and went in the place,” you answered feeling yourself get even more heated reliving that night all over again.

“Well you’re better than me, because if King Kong raised his voice at me like that and didn’t want to listen, he’d get an elbow to the head and I would’ve cancelled everything. Party, gifts, all of it!,” Josie responded making you laugh. She definitely was not one to be messed with and wouldn’t take anyone’s crap.

With her, it was get right or get left. Period. “I mean I couldn’t cancel the party by that time, it was too late,” you state causing Josie to look at you as if she was saying ‘nonsense’.

“Says who? I would’ve walked in like ‘Um excuse me yall, sorry for the inconvenience, but due to Mount Big Head over here, the party is over’ and I would’ve started pulling down all the decorations as he watched,” she laughed as you just shook your head at how crazy your friend was.

“Y/N? I don’t mean to interrupt, but I need to talk to you about you know,” Florian softly said as he walks outside to see you. “And tell Josie I said hi.”

“Tell him that he better get his stuff together or so help me I’ll come over there and straighten him out myself!,” she responded now leaning on the kitchen counter. “She said hey,” you say looking up at Florian as he grabs the other chair to sit across from you.

“I know that’s not what she said, but thank you for sparing my feelings,” he softly laughs sitting forward to be closer to you. “Hey Josie let me call you back later,” you say before you both say your goodbyes and you hang up your phone to now meet Florian’s apologetic green eyes with your very frustrated brown ones.

“Thank you for the medicine this morning, that was really sweet,” he smiles reaching out for your hand as you cross your arms over your chest. “You said you wanted to talk, so lets talk,” you respond.

“I think I spoke enough last night in the car, so I’d like to hear any and everything you have to say. And I promise to shut up and listen this time,” he answers looking into your eyes, showing that you had his full attention.

“Honestly I’m a mix of emotions right now. Part of me is hurt and angry and just wants to smack you like I wanted to do last night, but knew I couldn’t,” you explain leaning forward so he could hear everything. “But then I know that I was acting suspicious and from what you went through with your ex I know that was a red flag, so I also feel like I should just forget it and move on.”

“No I don’t want you to feel like your feelings aren’t valid because of what I went through. You deserve to feel and express the emotions you feel,” Florian responded starting to reach out to comfort you, but stopping himself remembering how you reacted to him earlier. “I mean I hope you won’t smack me though since that would hurt.”

“No I would never smack you, at least not a serious one where I wanted to hurt you,” you answer with a small laugh. “Good because I’ve heard from your brothers that you have a crazy right hook and I really don’t want to experience that,” he added, laughing along with you.

While things seemed easygoing now, there was still a question in the back of your mind that made your chest ache to possibly hear what the answer would be. “Florian tell me the truth, are you still hurting from her? And do you really trust me? Because if not maybe we should think about a br-,” you started, feeling your eyes begin to get watery before he cut you off, slightly shaking his head.

“No I promise I’m over her and what happened. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t have entertained you when we first met,” he answers placing a hand over his heart. “It’s kind of like when you burn yourself cooking. Although it’s healed, sometimes when you’re cooking you might think about it though, especially if you come close to burning yourself again.”

“Yea I get that,” you lightly nod. “And I completely trust you love! I trust you so much that I want to share my life with you in more ways than one,” Florian continued leaving you slightly confused.

“Wait, what do you mean in more ways than one,” you ask slightly cocking your head. “This isn’t exactly how I wanted to tell you this, but at some point in the future, if it’s ok with you, I want you to permanently be in my life. My family be yours and vice versa,” he smiles, face and ears turning a light red as he looks down towards the ground.

Lifting his chin, you kissed his lips before lightly kissing his nose and making him chuckle. “You’re not just saying that because of everything happening are you?,” you ask trying to make sure he was completely sure of his decision and not just caught up in the moment.

“No Y/N, I’ve been thinking about it for some time now and seeing everything you did last night just confirmed it. Like I said, you’ve been through much more with me than anyone would probably want to go through and yet you’ve stayed,” he answered wiping the couple tears that managed to fall from your eyes. “Well I stayed because I love you and I know you love me too,” you smile leaning into his touch as more tears fell.

“You’re right I do love you, and I hope you can forgive me for being dumb last night. I swear from the bottom of my heart that I’m sorry and I’ll never do that again,” Florian stated now taking your hands in his. “I forgive you, just next time if you have a problem, come to me and we’ll talk it through. Because if you raise your voice at me like that again that’s it,” you answered with a smile before being picked up and currently resting in his arms, making you giggle.

“Oh! I still need to give you your present,” you say trying to climb down, but instead being carried into the living room where all his presents currently sat still unopened. “It’s the one in the red wrapping paper, and please don’t shake it to try to figure out what it is this time,” you point out, teasing Florian as he sat you down on the couch to retrieve the gift.

“Happy Birthday love! Hope you love this present,” he read from the card before sitting down beside you. Ripping the paper off, he was met with a green box that had a small gold crown towards the bottom edge, which immediately made his face light up like an overjoyed child on Christmas.

“You got me a Rolex?!,” he excitedly asks looking from the box to you. “Open it and find out,” you reply with a smile as you lean on his shoulder to watch his expression when he finally opened the box.

Flipping the top up, a small gasp left his mouth as he removed the silver watch with a black dial and matching black rotating front piece. “You really didn’t have to do this Y/N!,” he smiles tilting your head up to kiss your lips repeatedly.

“I know, but I wanted to! Make sure you look on the back of it too,” you add wrapping your arms around his abdomen. Turning the watch over, he saw a bunch of numbers that looked like coordinates along with his initials, which caused a slightly confused look to spread across his face.

“Those are the coordinates of where you were born,” you answer knowing he wouldn’t know what it meant. “Masias asked your mom for me and then I Googled the location to get the coordinates and gave them to the guy who did the inscription. I thought it would be a nice touch to make it more personal and hoped you would like it!”

“I love it babe! Thank you so much,” he says pulling you into what felt like the biggest bear hug you had ever received in your life, “You are really incredible, I hope you know that.”

“I mean, I’ve been told before,” you say nonchalantly with a laugh, causing him to leave kisses all over your face as he wondered to himself what he did to be this lucky and blessed enough to have you in his life.

My Bad (1)

Hey guys! So I thought this was gonna be an average length story, but my brain decided to add more and more stuff, which is why this now has to be multiple parts lol. There’s only 1 more part after this one though so don’t worry, and hopefully it’s not too long or boring for you guys. I got the idea for this imagine after listening to the song My Bad by Khalid, so if you guys want to listen to it, I recommend it and think it’s a really good song :). Ok I think that’s everything I wanted to say, so I hope you guys like it!

Warnings: Maybe a pinch of angst towards the end. Pretty much all fluff in this first part though (if there's anything I need to add to this section, feel free to let me know!)

Word Count: 3,629 (again sorry if it’s long)

“Ok Masias, how’s everything looking for Flo’s party this weekend?” you ask sitting on the counter top, phone in hand ready to make any necessary calls to check on anything. “As of right now, everything is set. I called all our friends and all who can make it plan to be there,” he answered leaning back on the counter opposite of you, one foot crossed over the other.

This party was about a month in the making and you wanted to make sure everything was perfect. You had the idea to throw a big, yet intimate, birthday for Florian with all his friends and family there since he wasn’t able to see everyone as often as he wanted.

With Florian being the amazing person he was to any and everyone around him, you also wanted to show him how loved and appreciated he is. Plus everyone deserved to have an amazing and memorable birthday!

One of the jobs you were in charge of was reserving the venue, which would be the hookah lounge that him and his friends frequented since everyone knew where it was. You also needed to figure out the food that would be there as well as the cake, while Masias was in charge of invitations. Well basically texting everyone and saying what was happening.

“Okay great! Now I just have to figure out what to get him,” you answer taking a sip from the water bottle next to you. “I can help you pick out some things if you want? I know the main places he goes to shop here in Germany,” he suggests taking turns looking at you and his phone to answer messages.

“Thanks Masias that’ll be perfect! Why don’t we go tomorrow since we’ll already be out from having to go to the lounge to run through some final things?” you ask now fiddling with your phone to set reminders for everything you needed to do. “Yea that’s fine, just let me know what time works best for you. I gotta head out to meet up with some people, but let me know if anything comes up about Operation Colossus,” he smiles uncrossing his feet to stand up.

“Ok and will do,” you laugh remembering the codename you guys created for his party while following him to the front door. Just as he was about to open it, a slight push from the other side startled both of you as you jumped back to avoid potentially getting hit.

“Oh sorry, I didn’t hit anyone did I?” Florian asks now able to fully open the door and see you and Masias on the other side. “Hey bro! No we’re fine, I was about to open the door to leave when you opened it first,” Masias laughs followed by you and Florian.

“Wait leave? And so soon? I didn’t even know you were coming over,” Florian responds putting his keys and gym bag down. “Yea I was gonna surprise you, but Y/N told me you weren’t here, so I was gonna come back some other time. Plus I gotta go do something so I need to head out,” Masias answers, “I’ll talk to you later.”

“Alright talk to you later,” Florian says as Masias waves goodbye to the both of you and walks out. Fearing that Florian was probably starting to put two and two together of his birthday plans, you quickly try to change the subject and distract him from whatever may be going on in his mind.

“So how was your workout?” you ask sitting on the arm of the couch, smiling up at the man in front of you. “It was good! We pretty much did the same workouts and just amped it up a bit,” he answers leaning down to kiss your forehead then your lips, “Since I’m not doing anything tomorrow, I was thinking I could show you some things around town.”

“That sounds great, but I have a conference call tomorrow and knowing them it might take a while,” you respond feeling slightly uneasy from the guilt of lying. Given it was a small lie and was for a good cause, you never lied to Florian and hoped he wouldn’t be upset at you not being able to hang out.

“I thought you said you were completely free of work stuff?” he asks with a raised eyebrow and now playing with your hands. “Yea I thought I was, but it’s like a check-in meeting to see how everyone is performing and to talk about company info,” you smile hoping he’d stop with the questions.

“Oh…ok, well how about we go out later that night then? We could go to the hookah place I told you about and you can meet some of my other friends,” Florian suggests moving to pick up his gym bag. “I don’t really do hookah, but yea that sounds great!” you softly laugh, Florian joining in directly after.

“You’ll be alright I promise. I’ll be right back let me take a shower really quick,” he says turning to walk towards the bathroom, and leaving you to release a small sigh of relief that he seemingly hadn’t caught on to anything.

__________

Knowing you had a good amount of tasks to do, you made sure to wake up early the next morning. Specifically, earlier than Florian so he wouldn’t possibly mess up the plan you had created in order to do everything you had to without him getting suspicious.

First you were gonna go to the hookah bar to have a final run through of the party details, next the cake shop to order one for the party, then gift shopping, and lastly make it back in time to go out with Florian. Perfect foolproof plan, so what could go wrong?

After quietly exiting the apartment as to not wake sleeping beauty, you meet Masias out front to begin your errands. “Hi my name is Y/N, and I’m here to go over details for a party I’m having here tomorrow,” you introduce yourself walking up to the front desk.

“Oh yes! I remember speaking to you,” Adan, the manager of about average height with an accent mixed with German and something you couldn’t decipher, cheerily answered, “Follow me this way and we’ll go through everything we discussed.”

Following closely behind, he led you and Masias to a section of the lounge that was a little more private so everyone else there would be unable to hear about the party. So far everything that was read back to you was right and exactly how you asked which made you even more excited.

That night the place would be closed to the public, and there would be security standing at both the front entrance and the one leading to the back patio to make sure no one got in who wasn’t supposed to be there. Everyone could freely walk between the indoor and outdoor areas while all the food would be inside, and the cake would come out an hour after you guys had arrived.

Before you could get to the final cost of everything, Adan was called away by one of his employees to help handle a small situation. “Hopefully this goes by quick,” you thought sitting back in the plush black couch cushion.

Quickly checking your phone, you see four new messages from Florian all a few minutes apart.

😜❤️Flo-zilla❤️😜: Morning love😘! Where did you go? And how did you get there? I could’ve driven you

😜❤️Flo-zilla❤️😜: You didn’t have to leave to have your conference call because I was sleep, you wouldn’t have woken me up. Unless I snore too loud then I’m sorry😬 lol

😜❤️Flo-zilla❤️😜: Let me know when you get done with your call. I can pick you up and we can go eat

😜❤️Flo-zilla❤️😜: Sorry for the back to back messages, I promise I’m done now lol. LOVE YOU!!😘😘

“Why does he have to be so cute!,” you thought to yourself with a smile, opening your phone to send him a message so he wouldn’t worry.

Y/N: Morning! Well afternoon now lol, and I went to a coffee shop in town. No you don’t snore too loud 😂 I just didn’t want to wake you if I talked too loud and I got an Uber. Love you too💋💋!! I gotta go back to my call so I’ll talk to you later 🥰

Five minutes turned into 10, which then turned into 15 and so on, until the same employee who took Adan away came back with a hookah and two hoses, making you and Masias look at each other in confusion. As soon as she placed it on the table, he began to speak in German to her, probably telling her that you guys weren’t customers but here to talk to the manager.

After going back and forth a couple times, she leaves without taking the hookah back with her, confusing you even more. “She said that Adan’s gonna take a little longer then he thought. So he had her bring this over so we could do something while we wait. He also said it’s on the house and he won’t take no for answer,” Masias explained picking up the hose closest to him.

“Oh, well that was nice of him,” you say with a small smile picking up the other hose and examining it as if it was a clue from a crime scene. “I’m gonna be honest with you Masias I’ve never done this before so I have no idea what I’m doing.”

“Hold on, you mean to tell me in the amount of time that you and Flo have been together, he hasn’t taken you to hookah?!,” he asks with a shocked expression on his face as he blows out the remaining smoke he inhaled. “No, we’re actually supposed to come here tonight, but depending on how long this takes I’m not sure if that’ll still happen,” you softly laugh, more so to yourself than out loud.

“Alright I know the hookah probably looks complicated, but it’s not. All you do is suck in like with a straw and then blow out,” Masias explained while also demonstrating it for you. “Also when you suck in, this water should bubble. If it’s not then you’re probably not doing it hard enough, or the hookah could be messed up but that’s an explanation for another time.”

“Ok let me try,” you say taking the hose and doing everything like he showed you. As you inhaled, you saw the water bubble and felt the smoke move from your mouth to your throat, causing you to cough uncontrollably before you could even try to breathe it out.

“Don’t inhale too deeply,” he instructed trying not to laugh at your reaction, but failing as he chuckled while placing a glass of water in front of you. “Just try to keep it to your mouth, don’t puff out your cheeks though.”

Following his instructions, you kept the smoke in your mouth, remembering not to breathe in too deeply, then blew out a fog like cloud of smoke when you were ready. “See you got it! Not so bad right?,” he asked before blowing out his own cloud.

“No it’s not. I think I got the hang of it now,” you smile, repeating your earlier movements and blowing out your smoke again. Still waiting on Adan to get back, you and Masias talked getting to know each other more.

He told you about his life and childhood, which included funny stories of him and Florian as kids. In return, you told him about your life growing up in a small town, while also showing him old pictures of your family and friends.

By the time the coals were pretty much done on the hookah, Adan reappeared apologizing for taking so long. Apparently a group of customers were having a problem with paying since majority of them wanted it to be split equally, but a couple of them were saying they hardly used the hookah, so they felt they shouldn’t have to pay anything.

Needless to say, he was glad that the situation was handled and he could focus on something less dramatic and petty. After telling you guys the final cost and you paying, you and Masias both left to go to the cake shop, which you hoped wouldn’t take long and further alter your plans for today.

__________

“Ok what do you think about this shirt?,” you ask walking over to Masias holding up a plain grey short sleeve shirt. “Huh? Yea it’s great,” he replied, not really paying attention to you or the shirt in your hand.

“Alright that’s the third time I’ve asked you something and you haven’t been paying attention. Who is she?,” you ask with a smirk folding your arms over your chest. “Sorry Y/N, and wait how do you know it’s a girl I’m looking at?,” he asks a little shocked at how you knew what was distracting him.

“I have three older brothers, so I’d like to think I know a little something about guys and the things they do,” you reply jokingly flipping your hair over your shoulder. “Is she behind me? Let me see!”

“No! Don’t turn around then she’ll know we’re talking about her,” he whispers looking behind you to make sure she didn’t hear. “Calm down. I know what I’m doing,” you say sauntering over to another part of the store as if you were looking at an article of clothing.

You continued these nonchalant movements while seemingly scrolling through your phone until you ended up close enough to softly say something in her direction and her easily hearing you. Taking turns looking from you to a random pair of jeans in front of him during the whole interaction, he hoped and prayed that this wouldn’t come back to bite him.

“What did you just do?,” Masias asked slightly afraid to hear your answer. “Just wait and see,” you smirked walking past him to another section of shirts.

As soon as you passed him, the woman, who you heard introduce herself as Ellie, walked up to Masias and began talking to him in German. And from their constant smiles and giggles, seemed to be having a great conversation at that. “Thank you Google Translate for teaching me how to say he’s single,” you thought to yourself watching their adorable interaction.

Finally finished with everything, Masias dropped you off in front of Florian’s place before giving you a quick hug and telling you goodbye. He would’ve come inside to sit for a while, but he had a date with Ellie later to get ready for and wanted to try to squeeze in a haircut beforehand.

“Thank you again for the ride today and helping me with everything! I really appreciate it and I know Flo will too,” you smile standing on the drivers side of the car with him to make sure Florian wouldn’t see in the event he heard the car pull up and was looking out the window.

“No problem you know I’m always here to help. But I should really be the one thanking here! You got me the date tonight,” he excitedly smiles holding up his hand to give you a high five. “You know I got your back Masias. Anytime you need a wingwoman, call me,” you respond lightly hitting your chest and causing both of you to laugh. “Have fun tonight and don’t forget you have all of Flo’s gifts in your car.”

“Thanks and yea I won’t forget. Once I get home, I’ll put them by the front door so I’ll be sure to grab them for tomorrow,” he replies. Saying goodbye again, Masias got in his car as you walked to the front door, pulling off after seeing you get inside ok.

Placing your shoes by the front door, you walk to Florian’s room to see him sitting in bed watching TV. “Did you Uber again? I told you to call me when you got done with everything,” he states moving to sit up straighter.

“Yea I know babe, but my phone died so I couldn’t call you to come pick me up,” you answer while getting your lounge clothes to change into. “If your phone died, then how did you get an Uber?,” he questioned pausing whatever was on the screen.

And this is another reason why you didn’t like to lie. You weren’t any good at it.

“Wait did I say Uber? I meant I got a cab, I’m sorry. The call had so much information that my brain is literally mush right now,” you softly laugh walking towards the bathroom. “Hey what are doing? We were supposed to go out tonight remember?,” he asks pointing to your sweats and one of his oversized shirts in your hand.

“I know but can we go out tomorrow instead? I’m really tired and just want to be lazy tonight,” you plead giving your best puppy dog eyes and making Florian lightly chuckle. “Yea that’s fine we can go tomorrow, I’ll just let the guys know we won’t be there.”

“Well if you want, you can still go. I won’t have a problem with it,” you respond, leaning on the bathroom doorframe. “Nah I’m not going without you, I can meet them another night,” Florian answers holding his arms open for you to hug him like the oversized teddy bear he is.

As soon as your body met his, he wrapped his arms around you and kissed all over your face, making you giggle and try to slide out of his grip, which only caused him to hold on tighter. However now being so close to you, he could smell smoke in your hair and coming from your clothes.

“Y/N why do you smell like smoke?,” he asked loosening his grip on you. “Oh um that’s probably from people smoking outside while I was waiting on the cab to come home,” you answer trying your best to sound confident even though you felt yourself start to sweat.

“That’s not cigarette smoke though, it smells flavored as if it’s hookah,” he replies now fully letting go of you to cross his arms over his chest and let you stand up. “Yea they were smoking hookah, they set it up outside the coffee place,” you say again trying to not give your nervousness away.

“I guess what I’m not understanding is that if all that was outside, then it wouldn’t smell as strong on you. It’s almost as if you were in a hookah bar for a long period of time,” he continued, eyes now not as soft as they usually were.

“I don’t know maybe it was a stronger grade of it or something,” you suggest picking up your clothes from the bed. “I’m gonna take a shower to try to get the smell off.”

“Alright I’ll be here,” Florian said with a small smile before you kissed him on the cheek and made your way to the bathroom. Shortly after hearing the water from the shower cut on along with your music, his phone vibrating on the bedside table brought Florian out of his thoughts on what just happened.

Hey man long time no see!! I saw Masias and Y/N at the store today but I didn’t see you. Figured you were probably busy. How’ve you been tho?

“The store? She didn’t mention anything about going to the store, nor anything about Masias,” Florian thought. Now things were even more confusing to him. Why were you being so secretive and suddenly hanging out with his brother more?

He tried to listen to his conscience, which was telling him that there had to be a logical reason for all the secrecy. But the doubtful voice was louder right now and telling him that he was about to experience heartbreak again.

Hearing the shower cut off, he waited for you to walk out to see what your answer would be. Maybe it just slipped your mind that you went with Masias since you were so tired.

Why would Masias not say anything about it then? This was beginning to become too much for Florian and making him want to run away from everything currently happening.

“Ok I think I smell better now,” you laugh as you walk over to him, sticking out your arm for him to smell once in front of him. “Yea you smell good love,” he answers after sniffing your arm then kissing your hand. “So all you did today was stay at the coffee shop?”

“Yea the call lasted pretty much all day,” you answer putting your dirty clothes in the hamper with his. “Why do you ask?”

“Oh nothing just wanted to see if you ate anything. Seeing as though you were in there all day, you’re probably starving,” he stated standing up to walk out the room. “I am! Can we get Chinese?,” you excitedly ask plopping down on the bed to climb under the covers.

“Yea I was thinking that too. I’m gonna go get the menu from the kitchen,” he responds looking at his phone and walking out before you could say anything else. Florian couldn’t believe you just lied to his face, the ultimate form of disrespect in his opinion.

Masias was his brother who had already been through so much with him. You both knew how much the other meant to him, yet this is what you guys did behind his back.

He wanted to call Masias over so he could lash out at both of you right then and there, but he also didn’t want to see either one of your faces right now. Instead, he decided to wait until tomorrow to confront the both of you on what was really going on and wouldn’t take any more lies.

Bad Timing

Hey guys! So little backstory, this took forever for me to write partly due to me being busy with family things and the other part being how I just honestly felt like this was terrible about halfway through me writing it lol. I loved the idea and thought it was cute (still do!), but for some reason it’s like at a point I was just meh about it (if that makes sense) and it took me a good while to finish it. I feel better about it now though (although part of me does slightly feel meh about it, but I’m trying to shut that part up lol) and I hope that you guys like it too :)!

Warnings: None (Just fluff! Well I would consider it fluff lol)

Word Count: 2,766

Lying on the couch, you and Florian were next to each other watching the soccer game between Romania and France. Although you weren’t the biggest soccer fan, you didn’t mind watching the game as long as you could spend time with Florian.

It was your third date with him and you hated to admit it, but you had fallen pretty hard already. In those moments when all you could seem to think about was him and the memories you guys had made so far, you tried to remind yourself not get too excited because you didn’t know what the future had in store.

On the other hand, while you didn’t know what the future had to bring, that didn’t necessarily mean negativity would come from it. Realizing this made your heart swell, and your mind would find its way back thinking of Florian.

“Hey I’m going to the kitchen to get something to drink, do you want anything?” he asks making you snap out of your thoughts. “Um no I’m fine. I have to go to the bathroom really quick though,” you answer getting up from your comfortable position.

“It’s straight down the hall,” he smiles getting up to point the way for you. Thanking him, you make your way down the hall, now experiencing an odd sensation that you could only credit to one thing.

“No no, not today PLEASE not today!” you think to yourself as you sit down to see red spots mixing with the toilet water. Quickly opening your phone, you call your best friend, Ella.

“Helloooo?” she cheerily answers while snacking on something from the slight crunching and rustling from the other end. “Red alert. I repeat red alert!” you whisper trying to not be heard by Florian in case he was back in the living room.

“What’s wrong? I need to bring backup?” she asks concerned, momentarily taking a break from her food. “No that’s a blue alert, I said red,”

“Wait, I thought blue alert was for when we’re sad and purple was for a fight?” Ella responds trying to remember the code system you guys created. “No we don’t have a code pur- listen that doesn’t matter right now! I’m over at his place and my period came on and I have no pads, tampons, or nothing,” you explain still sat on the toilet, leaning on the nearby sink.

“Alright calm down. I can come bring you some stuff, but it’s gonna be a minute since I’m at Marc’s,” she replies getting her things together. “No don’t worry about it, I didn’t know you weren’t home. I’ll just tell him something came up and I have to go,” you reply rubbing your temple.

Like it always did on the first day of your cycle, your cramps began to make their entrance and got stronger the longer you sat. You didn’t want to cancel your date, but seeing how you had no supplies and definitely didn’t want to mess up any of Florian’s furniture, you knew it was best to leave.

“You sure? I can still bring you some things Y/N, but like I said it’s gonna be a minute if you can hold out that long,” Ella replies as you hear her move around through the phone. “Yea I’m sure, I’ll text you when I get home,” you reply before hanging up and finishing in the bathroom.

Trying to hide the current pain you were feeling, you make your way to the living room while also thinking of a good excuse to tell Florian why you had to leave so suddenly. “Hey the game just ended and I was thinking we could watch a movie on Netflix,” he suggests with a smile.

“I would love to, but I actually have to go,” you answer putting on your shoes that were placed by the door. “Oh ok. Is everything okay?” he asks standing up to help you make sure you had everything.

“Yea I just have to um-“ you started before a stabbing pain in your lower abdomen caused you to lean on the wall as you cursed under your breath. Welp, looks like your plan of escaping without any notice of your pain by Florian was now out the window.

It’s not that you were embarrassed by your period. It was a natural thing that just came with crappy side effects, which is what you didn’t want him to see or have to deal with. Especially if he had never really been in that situation before.

“You sure you ok? Here come sit down,” he says wrapping his arm around your waist and gently grabbing your arm to make sure you wouldn’t fall. “No I can’t sit down, my period started and I don’t want to mess up anything,” you blurt out finally able to stand a bit.

“Oh..” Florian says understanding why you had to leave and what was going on. “Did you bleed through your clothes?”

“Um no, well when I checked I didn’t but I might have a small stain now,” you answer a bit caught off guard by his question. “Ok, well if you want to go home then I completely understand. But I also don’t mind going to grab anything you need,” he answers with a small smile.

“Thank you for the offer but I can’t let you do that,” you respond slipping out of his hold although your body told you to do the opposite. You’d be lying if you said part of you didn’t want to stay with him and take his offer. Knowing how you tended to get during that time of the month, you wouldn’t mind having him there for comfort.

But you didn’t want that debt hanging over your head or make him feel like he had to take care of you right now. You were a big girl and had dealt with this for years now.

Was it a pain and uncomfortable? Yea, but you could get through it like you always did.

Before Florian could get out his sentence, another wave of cramps seemed to cancel every function of your body as you grabbed his arm and bent down in pain. “Uterus you are not cooperating with the plan to leave,” you thought to yourself as you let out a shaky breath to try to relax.

“Listen Y/N you’re in a lot of pain, just let me go get what you need at least and then when you feel better you can leave if you want,” he says as he rubs your back and steadies you so you won’t fall over. “Alright, just let me go to the bathroom really quick and we can go,” you answer standing up as straight as you could before a slight feeling of nausea attacks your throat.

However, as soon as you went to take a step, you felt your body being lifted up and Florian’s arms wrap around your body as he carried you to the bathroom. “You don’t need to come with me. Text me the names of everything you need and I’ll bring it back for you,” he says as he sits you down on the edge of the tub. “You can stay here and get cleaned up, then relax and get some rest.”

“Ok, well hand me my purse then so I can give you money to get everything,” you say rubbing your temples in another attempt to get your body to relax. “Nah don’t worry about it, you relax,” he says with a smile, kneeling down to your eye level.

“No Flo. I’m not gonna let you pay for my stuff,” you sternly say trying to stand up before being gently sat down again by the man 3 times your size. “You don’t really have a choice seeing as though you’d have to pass me to get to your purse, which I won’t let happen,” he smirks as you roll your eyes.

“If I wasn’t in pain right now, I could beat you,” you counter with a small laugh now causing Florian to roll his eyes. “Sure keep telling yourself that love,” he laughs before standing up to leave.

“It’s probably not what you use, but I have soap under the sink and there’s towels and everything there too. When you’re done you can pick any shirt from the first drawer in my room and you can use the washing machine to wash your clothes too if you want,” he finishes, pointing out where everything is in the bathroom and his bedroom.

“Ok, thank you,” you smile wanting to stand up to hug him, but knowing you should stay put since you probably have the biggest stain on your pants and the side of the tub. “No problem. If you need anything else just let me know,” Florian smiles walking out of the bathroom to give you the privacy you needed.

Hearing the front door close, you began to try to get yourself cleaned up starting with finding something to take to calm your irate uterus. To avoid having to walk around his place naked, you thought it would be best to wash your underwear out by hand then put them in the dryer for a while. Hopefully they would be finished before he got back and maybe you could use tissue or something as a makeshift pad until you could get one.

Feeling the warm water lightly beat against your abdomen and legs brought added relief, and you felt yourself begin to relax. After a few minutes, you step out into the now steamy bathroom to wrap a towel around your body.

Luckily it was a dark red color, so your blood wouldn’t be as noticeable on it since you knew a stain would be inevitable. You had already planned to wash everything you used though and your jeans after you were dressed. Drying the last of your body, you hear your phone vibrate flashing Ella’s name.

“Hey, what’s up?” you ask making your way to Florian’s room to grab a t-shirt to change into once he returned with your things. “Hey, are you ok? You never told me that you made it home,” she replied.

“Yea I’m fine. Florian offered to go buy what I needed so I decided to stay,” you answer returning to the bathroom with one of his shirts to sit on the floor. “Aww that’s so sweet! That man is husband material already,” Ella excitedly gushed.

“El I think it’s still a bit early to claim him as my husband,” you laugh playing with a loose string from the rug under you. “I know, I’m just saying him doing all that for you was really nice of him. If it was any other guy, they’d probably have you out here fending for yourself.”

“I mean possibly, but I’m sure Marc took care of you the first time it happened,” you counter. You weren’t trying to deny that what Florian did was incredibly caring and amazing, you were just trying to not get your hopes high to then be disappointed, which you had experienced enough.

“He took care of me, but was pretty much clueless on what was happening,” she laughed remembering the confused look on Marc’s face at how calm she was acting although the tissue she used to wipe was fully stained red. “Well at least he’s better now,” you laugh along with her.

Hearing what sounded like the front door close and Florian call out your name, you quickly hang up with your friend to peak your head through the bathroom door. “Hey I didn’t interrupt you did I?” Florian asks, bags of everything you need in in hand.

“No I’m done, I was just waiting in here so I wouldn’t mess up anything,” you shyly answer with a small laugh, “Did you find everything okay?”

“Yea, everything you sent me I got. Plus I got some of your favorite snacks I remembered you telling me you liked and I got you a couple soft shorts in case you messed up your jeans,” he smiles handing you all the bags, “I got a lady there to help me try to figure out your size from a picture I showed her of you, so hopefully they fit.”

“Wow Flo that’s really sweet, thank you so much,” you smile on the verge of tears. You had received plenty of gifts in your life, but this was quite possibly the nicest thing anyone had ever done for you.

“No problem, I’ll be out here if you need anything,” he says turning to walk down the hall to the living room. Looking down at everything he bought you couldn’t help but think that he really was husband material. Well at least you thought it was in your head.

“You said something Y/N?” he asked turning around to face you again. “Oh, um I said miss a…headband! Yea I thought I lost my headband in here, but I remembered that I didn’t wear one today,” you nervously smile.

“Oh..ok,” Florian smirks walking into the living room. “Great he definitely heard that and now I probably look crazy,” you thought as you closed the door to get dressed.

Joining him on the couch a few minutes later, he couldn’t help but think of how adorable you looked in his older looking black Nike shirt that was like a dress on you. And watching you snuggle into his side with your chocolate bar seemed to be the cherry on top, as it made his heart melt for you more.

“Thanks again for buying everything. You really didn’t have to get me snacks,” you say looking up at him and meeting his soft eyes. “You’re welcome and it’s nothing. I thought you might be craving them plus I needed more stuff for the house,” he answers with a wink picking up his bag of gummy bears from the table.

You both sat in a comfortable silence, with the occasional laugh and comments here and there, as you watched Hitch. Being one of your favorite movies, you wanted to pay attention, but with Florian gently rubbing your back, your eyelids became heavier and heavier until you were asleep in his side.

______

Feeling him move, you slightly woke up to hear Florian on the phone. “Hey man what’s up?”

“Hey you still coming out? It’s almost 12 and we were supposed to meet at 11,” another male voice spoke through the phone. Almost 12?! Crap, you didn’t mean to stay this late.

“Nah something came up, I’ll have to see you guys next time,” he whispered trying not to wake you up. “Something or a certain someone?” they asked. The smirk they had on their face as they said it could be heard all the way down to you.

“Alright you got me,” he softly laughs, causing his side to slightly vibrate on the side of your face. “But it’s not like that. She’s not feeling too good so I want to make sure she’s okay,” he answered briefly looking down at you.

“Oh ok. Well, we’ll see you next time bro and I hope she feels better,” they say, followed by Flo saying his goodbyes before hanging up. “You don’t have to cancel your plans Flo, it’s time for me to leave anyway,” you sit up slightly startling Florian since he thought you were asleep this whole time.

“No it’s fine, I can always go out with them another night,” he answers sitting up to be next to you, “How are you feeling though?”

“I feel a lot better, thanks,” you smile as you stretch from your surprise nap. “I guess I better get going.”

“I mean it is late to be out on the road, if you want to stay you can. Again though that’s if you want,” Florian nervously responds rubbing the back of his neck. “You can take the bed and I’ll stay out here on the couch.”

Seeing that it was now midnight, he did have a point about how late it was. Plus it was the weekend, so it’s not like you had work to worry about in the morning.

“Alright but how about we both crash on the couch? I wouldn’t feel right kicking you out of your own bed,” you say grabbing a blanket lying next to the couch. “Ok deal,” Florian smiles as you both return to your original positions.

“Thank you for taking care of me today. I really appreciate it,” you say as he searches through the endless collection of movies on the screen. “Well I wouldn’t be husband material if I didn’t now would I?” he winks before leaning down to kiss your forehead making you giggle.

Cross Her, Cross Me

Warnings: None (at least that I know of..? If anybody sees any just let me know and I’ll update this part)

Word Count: 4,072

A/N: Hey guys! So this is something I thought of based on the song “Cross Me” by Ed Sheeran ft. Chance the Rapper. If you haven’t heard it, it’s a really good song so I would suggest you give it a listen :). Ok that’s all, hopefully you guys like it!

“Hey Y/N, I hate to ask you this since it’s not your job, but can you make copies of this for me? My assistant left for break and I have to get back to a conference call,” your boss, Mr. Tyson peaks into your office to ask holding a stack of papers.

“Yeah Mr. Tyson, no problem,” you smile standing up from your desk to make your way to the copy room. You weren’t doing anything since you had finished all of your work and were about to leave in the next few minutes, so you didn’t mind doing this quick favor.

Waiting for the last bit of copies to exit the machine, you pull out your phone to scroll through Instagram and see what you missed throughout the day. “Last time I checked, I thought this was a copy room and not a lounge area,” your co-worker, Ryan, says pointing at the phone in your hand.

For whatever reason, Ryan always seemed to have a problem with you, which baffled you since you never bothered anyone at work and was just there to get your work done. If he was in the same room, he’d have some side comment to say at the smallest thing you did, which became annoying the more it happened.

“Oh, I was waiting for the last of these copies and was just checking my messages,” you say putting your phone in your pocket and trying to collect all of your things so you wouldn’t have to be bothered with him anymore.

“It’s insane how people are so addicted to their phones nowadays,” he shakes his head taking the now vacant place in front of the copier. Side comments like that made you want to snap and ask why he insisted on being so rude to you.

Trying to be professional and not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing a reaction out of you, you exited the room with the papers to give back to your boss acting like you didn’t hear what he just said.

______

Back home, you just wanted to relax and forget about the events of the day. Everything was fine before Ryan had to appear in the copy room acting like his usual smart aleck self. You hated to be rude, but if he could somehow disappear and never be seen again, you’d probably be the happiest person in the world.

Sitting on the couch watching your favorite show, and still deep in your thoughts, you didn’t hear Florian walk up behind you. “Y/N!” he excitedly says as he grabs your shoulders, causing you to jump what felt like 3 feet in the air.

“Florian! Don’t scare me like that! Now what would you have done if I had a heart attack or fell and hit my head?” you ask moving out of his grip, not trying to hide your annoyance. “I would have taken care of you like I always promise I will,” he smiles sitting next to you.

Whenever he scared you in the past, you always tried to be upset, but it never lasted long since you’d end up laughing with him and trying to get him back somehow. From your reaction to his joke tonight and now seeing you lean away from him, he can sense something is wrong.

“What’s wrong? You act like you don’t want to be bothered,” he asks turning his body to face you. “You know whatever it is, you can talk to me. Or if you just need space I can do that too”.

In times like this, you wished he wasn’t so amazing. Although you were in a mood and weren’t treating him very nicely, he still showed his love for you by being whatever you needed him to be in that moment, whether it was a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, or even to be gone for a while so you could have some alone time.

You didn’t want them to, but the tears quickly started to run down your face thinking about how caring he was, and from your work situation, which caused him to become more concerned. “Hey it’s ok. I hate to see you cry love, but if you need to that’s fine. I’ll be here,” he says moving your body so that you were now sitting on his lap with your head resting on his chest.

“It’s just work,” you manage to hold back your tears long enough to speak clearly. “It’s this guy and-“

“What he said something to you? He didn’t touch you did he?” Florian asks looking down at you, pausing from rubbing your back to hear your answer and see if he was going to have to leave to handle the situation on his own.

“No, he didn’t do anything. He did say something though, but at the same time he didn’t,” you respond wiping the remaining tears from your eyes that hadn’t made their way to his shirt. “Not gonna lie I’m a little confused but ok…” he answers continuing to rub circles on your back.

“Ever since I got there, the guy, Ryan, acts like he has some problem with me and I’ve never done anything to him. At first it just started out as like side eye looks but then it’s escalated to unnecessary side comments,” you explain.

“Like today, I was making copies for my boss and while I was waiting, I was on my phone just looking at Instagram right. He then comes in and says ‘I thought this was a copy room, not a lounge area’ and I said how I was just checking messages while I wait for the machine to finish. Then when I’m leaving he talked about how people are so addicted to their phones as an obvious dig at me,” you finish lifting your head from his chest to sit up.

“And he doesn’t do this to anybody else on your floor?” Florian asks as his eyes begin to look dark due to his growing anger for this Ryan guy. “No! I even asked Ari one day because she heard what he said to me after my presentation and wondered what happened for him to say that to me,” you answer now playing with his fingers.

“And what did he say that time?” he asks with eyebrows slightly furrowed together. “After my boss and everyone was saying how I did so well and people were leaving, he said ‘huh she has the brains to be with the big boys!’ with a smug look that I wanted to knock right off his face,” you answer noticing his hands becoming warmer and his knuckles start to redden.

“You need to talk to your boss about this Y/N and soon. Why this guy thinks he can talk to you like that, I don’t know, but if he does it again I promise it’s not gonna be good, and you know I always keep my promises,” Florian replies tucking a piece of your hair that had managed to get in your face back to its correct position.

“Yea I know, I was just trying to ignore it and not let him see a reaction so that hopefully he would stop, but apparently he’s very persistent,” you respond. Part of you was also fearful of him finding out that you were the one who complained and started acting worse, which is why you went so long without telling anyone.

Now, you were tired of the antics and just wanted to be able to go to work and not have to deal with his mouth. “I get that, but if it’s bothering you that bad, then you need to tell your boss, HR, or someone that can look into it,” Florian says, eyes becoming softer from him calming down.

“I will tomorrow. You know how I am with confrontation though,” you reply looking down at your fingers, not for long though after hearing a deep laugh escape from Florian’s lips. “I don’t mean to laugh love, but seriously? You? Afraid of confrontation? Do you remember the club incident last year?” he asks with a raised eyebrow.

While you were in Germany, you guys decided to meet his friends at a popular club there to hang out and have a few drinks. Everything was going great, until a guy decided to try to talk to you while you were away from Florian.

You politely declined his advances and told him that you were here with someone, but, like Ryan, he was very persistent and decided to amp it up by trying to grab your arm, which is when you lost it. Snatching your arm away, you yelled at him to leave you alone or the drink in his hand wouldn’t be the only thing going down his throat.

When you arrived back to your section, you were greeted with claps and bows from his friends who had seen the whole thing. “We thought we were all gonna have to come down there, but we see you can handle yourself,” one said raising his glass up to you.

“I knew she was a fighter!” another one shouted making everyone laugh. “Ok but that was different though. I was in a potentially dangerous situation and he gave me no choice,” you softly laugh remembering the shocked look on the guys face after you said what you did.

“Yea, but like my brother said you’re a fighter. Don’t let anyone trap you in a corner. Okay?” he says touching your forehead with his. “Yes coach,” you smile before being pecked with kisses all over your face making you giggle and squirm in Florian’s arms.

______

The next day at work went by smoothly. Ryan didn’t say anything to you, but that was also due to you being confined to your office with the amount of papers you had to fill out.

Luckily, it was towards the end of the day, which is when you were also planning on talking to your boss about how you were feeling. Yeah you could’ve done it first thing in the morning, but you also didn’t want to deal with the possible effects from it throughout the day.

Plus, you were sure your boss would probably be busy completing his own work and you didn’t want to disturb him. So instead, you immediately busied yourself with the new stack of papers on your desk and thought it best to let the discussion wait until later.

Before you could stand up from your desk to get everything over with, your office phone rings flashing what seemed like a familiar number, but you weren’t exactly sure. “Ed Tyson Management, this is Y/F/N Y/L/N. How may I help you today?” you cheerily ask.

“Hey! I just called to see how your day was,” Florian answers while in his car, from the way the background sounds. “I didn’t interrupt you did I?”

“Hey! And no, I actually just finished for the day not too long ago. I appreciate you calling!” you smile as you collect your things to get ready to leave. “No problem, you know I always gotta check on my girl,” he says letting out a small laugh.

Because you were bent down and focused on making sure you had everything you needed, you didn’t notice Ryan make his way into your office with his own stack of papers in hand. Seeing you were on the phone, he decided to wait until you were finished to not be disruptive.

However upon hearing what you were saying, his quiet state wouldn’t last long. “Yea yea I know, so where are you going? I hear you’re in the car,” you ask placing your bag on your desk to look for your keys.

“Now that doesn’t sound like a business call,” Ryan smugly says making you jump and let out a small gasp. “What? What’s wrong?” Florian asks concerned.

“Oh, hi Ryan I didn’t hear you walk in,” you answer watching him walk closer to the front of your desk. “Wait Ryan? As in the Ryan? Y/N what did he say?” Florian asks pulling his car over so he can fully hear what’s happening.

“I’m sure you didn’t with your ‘phone call’ and all,” he says using air quotes. “Tyson wants to see you and Ari in his office to go over some things dealing with the papers he gave you guys. I’m sure you probably didn’t finish though seeing how you’ve probably been more concerned with your phone,” he smirks before walking out of your office.

“He said something didn’t he? I promise if he did…” Florian sternly responds starting his car again. You know he didn’t mean to pester you with his questions, but with him talking in your ear and Ryan being himself, you felt yourself start to get anxious and just wanted to leave.

“Flo let me call you back,” you respond, hanging up before giving him a chance to reply. Of course today couldn’t continue to go by easily, and he had to find someway to bother you.

Your lack of answers and annoyed tone gave Florian all the answers he needed on what was going on as he made his way to your office building.

______

“Hey Florian!” the receptionist for your floor, Denise, greets. Because he had been there plenty of times before, they were pretty much on a first name basis. She would even help out in those times that he wanted to surprise you and make sure you stayed in the office so it would be successful.

“Hey Denise. Is Y/N in her office?” he asks tapping his fingers on the counter. He was trying to hide his frustration and growing anger, but because of his expressive eyes he could easily be read.

“No, I just saw her go in Mr. Tyson’s office. Is everything okay?” she asks now concerned. “Honestly, no but it will be though. Thanks Denise,” he quickly smiles before making his way to your office to wait for you to get out of your meeting.

Sitting on the edge of your desk with his knee bouncing, Florian tried to calm himself down to not cause a scene at your job and potentially get you fired. But, the more he thought about the things Ryan said to you in the past, and what he potentially said to you today, the task was starting to grow more difficult.

“Um can I help you?” Ryan asks, stopping as he was walking by your office upon seeing this random man sitting alone. “Nah I’m just waiting for my girl,” Florian answers. “You Ryan?”

“Yea, and you are?” he asks walking into your office with a confused look on his face. “Oh I’m sorry I’m Florian,” he replies with a plastered fake smile, standing up to meet Ryan halfway. “Answer me this quick question though Ryan, are these offices shared or are they only for one person?”

“Sure, they’re all private. Each person on this floor has one,” he answers confused as to why Florian would ask him this. “Ok, so if someone has to make a call they have the privacy to do that in the confines of their own office right?” Florian asks again holding his arms behind his back in his usual dominant stance.

“Um yeah pretty much…?” Ryan answers mimicking Florian’s body language and completely lost now. “So if that’s the case, then why is it your concern who Y/N talks to on the phone and about what?” Florian adds with furrowed brows, eyes seemingly a dark hazel color instead of his usual light green.

“So that’s what this is about. If Y/N had a problem with me, I would think she would be adult enough to come to me herself instead of sending a goon,” Ryan softly chuckles. “This guy was really something else to still try to talk big in this moment,” Florian thought as he moved closer to get in his face.

“She doesn’t need to send me to solve her problems, but I don’t like the things I’ve been hearing you say to her or around her. And when you mess with her, you’re messing with me. I’m sure you can probably see I’m not a guy most people like to mess with,” Florian replies completely in Ryan’s personal space as he stares him down.

“Florian? What are you doing here?” you ask walking in your office to see an angry Florian probably seconds away from slamming Ryan to the ground. “Seems as though your knight in shining armor came to defend your honor. He talks tough, but I’m sure you won’t do anything to put her job in jeopardy now will you Florian?” Ryan smugly smiles taking a few steps back from.

With that comment, Florian balled up his fist ready to swing, but was surprised when you literally beat him to the punch. Next thing either of you knew, Ryan was holding his face screaming that you were crazy and Florian had both arms around you to stop you from jumping on Ryan.

“Say one more thing! I promise it’ll be the last thing you say in life!!” you yell, seemingly using all the oxygen in your lungs to get out the words. “What is going on in here?!” your boss yells rushing into your office to see what all the yelling was about.

“She punched me in the face! She’s crazy and just snapped on me Tyson!” Ryan fusses removing his hand to reveal his swollen and bleeding nose. “Is this true Y/N?” Mr. Tyson asks looking at you with anger in his eyes.

“Yea it’s true and I’m sorry sir, but Ryan has been harassing me since I got here and I was gonna talk to you about it before I left today, but things just got out of hand,” you explain out of breath and still being held by Florian. “It’s true! I’ve witnessed it plenty of times,” Ari says from the doorway.

“I have too,” Denise chimes in standing next to Ari. “He’ll randomly go up to her and say hurtful things when she’s done absolutely nothing to him”. 

“Jesus again Ryan?! That’s it clean your stuff out your office. You’re fired!” Mr. Tyson orders making Ryan angrier than he already is.

“Fired?! Tyson-“ he tries to reason before getting cut off by your boss holding up his hand to tell him to stop. “When you first started working here I told you I would be watching you from the complaints you had at your last job. I thought you learned your lesson, but I see in your case old habits don’t die,” Mr. Tyson says as he motions for Ryan to leave your office.

“And who are you?” he asks looking at Florian and returning back to his normal tone of voice. “I’m Florian, Y/N’s boyfriend. She told me about what was going on with Ryan and I came here to talk to him myself,” he answers moving his arms from around your waist to hold your hand.

“I understand and wish we were meeting on better circumstances. Y/N, I’ll speak with you later, I suggest you go ahead and leave so there’s not another conflict,” Mr. Tyson directs at you before leaving out of your office to make sure Ryan collects his things.

______

“You okay?” Florian asks bringing you an ice pack for your now swollen hand and bruised knuckles. You couldn’t lie, it felt good to punch Ryan and shut him up for good, but you knew you shouldn’t have done it. Now you didn’t know if you would be coming back to a job or if you might be arrested in the event that Ryan decided to press charges.

“If you’re referring to my hand? It’s alright. Overall though, I’m kinda freaking out,” you answer sitting up in bed and letting him bring you closer to his side as he slid into bed. “Although I know it felt good, why’d you hit him?” he asks placing the frozen block on your hand, causing you to wince a little from the applied pressure and how cold it was.

“I honestly don’t know. I was just tired of him and his voice and then him saying you wouldn’t do anything when I know you would’ve and-“ you explain before being cut off by Florian finishing your sentence. “And instead of me feeling guilty about making you possibly lose your job, you decided to do it yourself so it’s on your shoulders,” he nods understanding all of your reasons.

“Yea that was also part of it. I still didn’t mean to give him a bloody nose though, but I just saw red and next thing I knew you were holding me back and he was screaming,” you explain laying your head on his chest as he grazed his fingertips up and down your arm. “He did deserve it though,” Florian admits causing you to let out a small laugh and smack his thigh with your good hand.

“What?! It’s true! He was either gonna get it from you or later from someone else. He better be glad it didn’t come from me, or else he’d have more than a messed up nose,” he says in a cocky tone and earning an eye roll from you. “Yea I know Rock em’ Sock em’ robot, but still though you’re not supposed to be making jokes. What if I get fired or go to jail?” you ask sitting up to look him in the eyes.

“Well I doubt you’re fired because your boss would’ve done that before you left today. But if he does then we’ll have to get you a new job, and if you get arrested, which I also doubt will happen, then we’ll deal with that too,” he answers with a smile as he rubs your back. Before you could respond, your phone rung, causing you to leap to the other side of the bed to answer it in time.

“Hello Mr. Tyson,” you answer trying to calm your nerves. “Hi Y/N, this phone call isn’t a bad one so don’t worry. You’re definitely not fired and Ryan decided not to press any charges, which is smart of him since he’d more than likely lose,” he explains causing you to let out a sigh of relief.

“Okay that good. I apologize again for the way I acted. I know it wasn’t professional and-,” you apologize before your boss cuts in. “I accept your apology, but from how Ryan was treating you, you honestly don’t even need to apologize. I should be the one apologizing for you having to deal with that for so long and having an unsafe work environment,” he explains.

“I accept your apology Mr. Tyson and I know I should’ve said something when it first happened. Then we wouldn’t be in this situation now,” you softly laugh causing your boss to let out a small chuckle as well. “Yes please don’t hesitate to tell me if something like that happens again. Whether it be to you or someone else in the office,” he says making you smile from his caring tone, reminding you of how a father would be with his child.

“From this experience, I definitely will,” you respond rubbing the back of your neck. “Good, now I’ll see you first thing in the morning,” he replies in a cheery manner.

“Ok see you at work Mr. Tyson,” you smile before hanging up your phone and turning to look at Florian. “So guess who has their job still AND isn’t going to jail?!” you happily shout snuggling back into his side as he laughs at your reaction.

“That’s great love! I told you nothing would happen,” he smiles softly nudging your shoulder. “So what did we learn?”

“That I need to say something early on when I’m being bothered instead of just trying to ignore it,” you admit playing with his fingers. “Exactly, and you want to know what I learned?” he asks holding your injured hand up to his lips so he could kiss your bruises.

“What’s that?” you ask genuinely interested in how all this could be a learning experience for him. “Not to make you mad because I don’t need you messing up the money maker,” he answers giving you a wink as you laugh at how unbelievable this man was.

Adventures In Babysitting

Warnings: None (Fluff again!)

Word Count: 4,212 (sorry if it’s too long)

A/N: Hey guys! Just wanted to say that I hope you like it! :)

“Florian! Why would you do that?!” you yell looking at your best friend, “You knew that supply drop was mine and you took it!! Now I don’t have ammo”.

“It was an accident!” he replies laughing at your reaction and the annoyed look you currently have on your face. Since he had a short break from filming, he decided to give you a surprise visit in your hometown. During your 3-year friendship, you had been to visit him in Germany a few times, which ultimately made him feel bad because he could never seem to find time to visit you.

You didn’t mind and understood that he was busy with work, but he promised he would come visit you one day, even if that meant he had to persuade a director to make a movie down the street from you. “That was not an accident! Flo that’s the third time you did that. Nobody accidentally does stuff three times,” you reply trying to keep your annoyed tone, but breaking and laughing along with him.

“Alright I’m sorry, don’t be mad,” he pouts wrapping his arms around your waist and burying his face in your abdomen. “Flo your giant head is crushing my diaphragm!” you laugh which causes him to give you a gentle squeeze.

The sound of your phone vibrating on the table interrupted your laughing fit as you brought it up to your ear to answer the call from your sister, Nala. “Hey-Flo stop I’m on the phone,” you greet with a small laugh from Florian still pressing his head into your stomach.

“Um ew please collect yourself because I’m dropping off your nephew and I don’t want to have to explain to him the birds and the bees this early in life,” she laughs. “It’s not like that La, he’s a friend who is trying to be sweet because he messed up,” you laugh hitting his arm as you stood up, which you knew he wouldn’t feel given his ginormous stature.

“Mhm that’s how it starts as friends being sweet, next thing you know boom pregnant” Nala replies as you hear Trent, your three year old nephew, laugh in the background. “Whatever, what time are you guys getting here?” you ask trying to tidy up anything that might be out of place or things that could be potentially hazardous to Trent.

“Look outside and find out,” Nala replies before hanging up and waving outside your window holding Trent on one hip and his overnight bag on the other arm.

“Titi!!!” Trent exclaims reaching out for you as you open the door, “Hey my little Stitch!!” you cheerily say taking him from his mother’s arm and bringing him in the house as Nala followed behind closing the door.

“Nala and Trent this is Florian, Florian this is my sister Nala and my nephew Trent,” you introduce as your sister and friend shake hands. “Oh so you’re Florian,” she smirks looking at him then back at you, making you roll your eyes in response.

“Yea, I promise we weren’t doing anything when you called, I was just being silly,” he replies with a small laugh while rubbing the back of neck in a nervous manner. “Oh you weren’t doing anything when I called,” she replies arms crossed in front of her with a shocked expression on her face.

Florian didn’t catch what she was trying to insinuate at first, but after a couple seconds became red as the tethered suits from Us. “NO! No, we were playing video games and-“ he started before you interrupted with a laugh.

“Flo it’s ok she’s just playing and being a harda- butt. A hardbutt,” you correct yourself remembering you had a three year old with a sponge-like brain in your arms.

“Yea Florian I’m just kidding don’t worry,” she smiles, a look of relief washing over his face. “Ok good I didn’t want to make a bad first impression,” he slightly laughs before noticing Trent looking up at him in fascination. “Hey little man,” he waves with a smile causing Trent to hide his face in your neck.

“Don’t take it to heart, he’s like that with new people,” Nala responds rubbing her hand over the toddler’s curly black hair. “Also sorry for the last minute drop off, but I got called in at the hospital about 30 minutes ago. I’m not sure how long it’ll take so I brought extra outfits for him, including his pajamas, some toys, and snacks,” she adds placing his bag on the living room table.

“You already know it’s no problem, just let me know when you get done or if you’re gonna have to stay overnight,” you reply tickling Trent and making him giggle. “Okay, bye baby! I’ll see you later,” Nala smiles kissing his cheek. “Be good.”

“I never have any problems out of him, he’ll be okay,” you reply bouncing him up to a higher position on your hip. “I was talking to the adults in the room,” she replies with a smirk before quickly walking out the door before you can say anything back.

Shaking your head, you lock the front door before placing Trent on the floor so he can play. However as soon as his feet touched the floor, he immediately hides behind your legs so Florian can’t see him. “Y/N I think Trent is afraid of me,” he softly says with a small laugh watching Trent peak his head out every few seconds.

“No, he’s just not used to you is all,” you reply as you play with the toddler’s hair. “I mean can you blame him though? You’re a giant with a thick beard,” you add with a laugh causing Florian to kiss his teeth before laughing along with you.

“Titi, I have to potty,” your nephew says as he tugs on the leg of your jeans. “Ok buddy let me get your stuff,” you reply looking in his bag. While Nala was right in everything she said she put in the bag, she failed to mention how she only put one extra pull-up in it.

You knew she didn’t mean to do it on purpose and was probably in a rush putting everything together, but seeing how Trent was still potty training and would have the occasional accident, he was gonna need more.

“Flo when I get back with him from the bathroom, I’m gonna have to go to the store to get more pull-ups. Do you mind watching him for a bit? It’s literally like 10 minutes away and I’ll be quick, but if you don’t feel comfortable then I can take him with me” you explain as you grab Trent’s hand.

“No it’s fine, I can watch him. I mean if he’ll let me,” he smiles sitting up from his relaxed position on your couch. “Let me talk to him,” you laugh as you walk him to the guest bathroom where his potty currently was.

“Titi, is that the giant from the beanstalk?” your nephew asks as he tries to use the small plastic toilet. “No sweety,” you smile, a soft laugh escaping your lips as you see why your nephew was scared of Florian.

“He’s more so like um…the Iron Giant! Remember that movie?” you ask from your seated position on the floor in front of him. “Yea,” he nods with a smile.

“Speaking of which, I have to go to the store really quick and I’m gonna leave you here with Mr. Florian ok? Do you promise to be good?” you ask helping him off the potty and clean up.

“Yes Titi,” Trent answers as you pick him up to wash his hands in the sink. For the most part, Trent was a good child who rarely gave anybody any problems. However like any kid, he had his days, which is how he got his nickname, Stitch.

“Ok I’m gone, let me know if you need anything or if he gives you any problems,” you say to Florian as you open the door. “Don’t worry everything’s gonna be fine Y/N,” he replies with a smile leaning on the edge of the open door.

“Bye Stitch, remember what we said,” you smile before walking out the door to your car. “Ok Trent what’s the plan?,” he asks with a smile, turning to see Trent playing with his toys on the floor.

Looking up at Florian, he shrugs his shoulders before going back to playing with his cars, seemingly not wanting to be bothered by him. “Ok, well I’ll be here on the couch if you need me ok?”

“Ok Mr…. um…. Mr….,” Trent replies trying his best to remember what his name was. “You can call me Florian, or Flo,” he answers letting out a small laugh at how adorable Trent looked with his face scrunched up in concentration.

“Ok Lolo. Hey! Lolo and Stitch!” he excitedly says pointing from Florian to himself. “Yea buddy! It does sound like Lilo and Stitch,” he smiles.

“Can we watch?” Trent asks walking over to the table and picking up the remote to give to Florian. “Yea of course!” he says taking the remote and lifting him up to sit on the couch with him.

Although he knew he wasn’t ready for kids at this stage of his life, with his career and all, he had to admit in this moment he wouldn’t mind having a kid of his own to be able to have these experiences with.

“Lolo thunder,” Trent points at the window towards the dark clouds in the sky. “Yea it looks like it’s about to rain outside. You’re not afraid are you?” he asks looking down at the small figure beside him.

“A little,” he answers snuggling up closer to Florian’s side as he plays with his own fingers. “Well you don’t have to worry Trent, I won’t let anything get to you. Plus as long as we’re inside, we’ll be ok,” Florian replies lightly rubbing his back.

As soon as the words left his mouth, everything in the house went dark causing a small gasp to leave Trent’s mouth as he hid his face in Florian’s side in fear. “It’s ok Trent come here,” Florian says picking up the small child so Trent can lie on his chest as he lies down on the couch.

“I won’t let anything get to you remember,” he says softly rubbing his back to help him relax.

______

“Stupid weatherman, he said it wasn’t supposed to rain today,” you think to yourself as you pull out your phone to call Florian and tell him you would be a little late. Due to the monsoon like rain outside, you and the other customers in the store were currently stuck until the rain died down.

“Hey Flo it’s me, I just called to say that I’m stuck in the store because it’s raining so bad up here. Hopefully I’ll be able to leave soon though. Also I hope Trent isn’t giving you any problems. Ok well call me if you need anything. Bye,” you finish, closing your phone after leaving the voicemail.

“Dad’s first time with baby?” an elderly lady asks, smiling sweetly at you. “Oh no, it’s a friend watching my nephew. I just hope everything’s fine,” you smile back at her with your phone still in your hand in case he calls back.

“Yea I remember leaving the kids with my husband for the first time,” she softly laughs at the memory, “I was anxious the whole time I was away that the house would be burned down, or someone would be in the hospital by the time I got back. Like he said though, everything was fine and he had everything under control”.

“I’m glad everything turned out fine,” you say with a small laugh as she finishes her story. “He’s had experience with kids before so I’m not completely worried, but still I don’t know how my nephew is reacting to him since it’s his first time with him”.

“Oh I understand. What I’ve found about some men is that while we think their ways are outlandish, they seem to know what they’re doing with kids,” she says looking at a man walking up to both of you, which you assumed to be her husband.

Letting her words sink in, you look back out to the rain feeling yourself relax. You had witnessed Florian interact with his other friends’ kids and was good with all of them. Surely it would be the same with Trent and there wouldn’t be any problems.

After a few minutes, the rain seemed to pass over the store as sunshine began to peak through the clouds. Following behind everyone else, you exited the with your purchases to return home and see what trouble both Florian and Trent may have gotten into.

______

Entering your house, you notice that it’s oddly quiet with only the sound coming from the rustling plastic bags in your hands. Walking to the living room, you see Florian asleep with one leg hanging off the couch holding a sleeping Trent on his chest.

Quietly going to the kitchen to place the groceries on the counter, you return to softly rub Florian’s shoulder to wake him up. “Hey, you’re back,” he smiles realizing it’s you as he rubs his eyes.

“Yea I got stuck in the store because of the rain. How was everything here?” you ask kneeling down next to him. “It was fine. We started watching Lilo and Stitch, but then the lights went out and he got scared so I was holding him, and I guess we went to sleep,” he answers taking turns looking at you and Trent still asleep on his chest.

“Yea he’s a little afraid of the dark and thunderstorms, thank you for watching him though,” you smile playing with Trent’s hair and making him stir a bit. “Let me take him and make sure he didn’t pee on himself,” you say gently picking him up and taking him to the room he himself designated as his own for whenever he stays over.

Sitting up and stretching to try to fully wake up, Florian started to pick up the toys that Trent had left on the floor from earlier. Again, that feeling that he credited to ‘baby fever’ washed over him. While he felt that he wasn’t ready for kids, there was part of him that thought maybe it wasn’t as bad of timing as he thought.

There would definitely be challenges if it did happen, but those also came with regular working parents not just celebrities. “Lolo! Pizza!” he heard Trent yell, bringing him out of his thoughts. “Titi has pizza!” Trent says grabbing Florian by his finger to bring him to the kitchen.

“Ok ok I’m coming!,” he laughs following behind the toddler. “You know pizza is my favorite food,” he adds making Trent stop in place and look up at Florian with wide eyes and a shocked expression.

“Me too!” Trent smiles clapping his hands together, before reaching up so Florian can pick him up. “Ok children calm down,” you laugh walking into the kitchen. “And Lolo?”

“It’s his nickname for me,” he smiles at you as Trent plays with his beard. “Yea and I’m Stitch!” Trent laughs before being tickled by Florian, and, in response, wiggling in his arms.

After eating together and letting him play for a while, it was time for you to get him ready for bed, which was a task in itself since Trent still was in a playful mood. Walking back in your room looking somewhat disheveled, Florian can’t help but laugh from his seated position at the end of your bed.

“You okay there?” he asks with a smirk and one eyebrow lifted. “Hey don’t judge. When you try to give a hyper three year old a bath, then come talk to me,” you laugh walking into your closet to get your clothes so you could get ready for bed.

While on his phone waiting for you to get out of the shower, Florian feels a tap on his leg making him look down to see Trent with his blanket in hand. “What are you still doing up? I thought Titi put you to bed?” he asks picking him up to sit on his knee.

“Can’t sleep,” he answers playing with his blanket. “Hmm..You can’t sleep or you don’t want to?” Florian asks tickling him and causing him to erupt in laughter. “Hey I have an idea, you want to play a trick on your aunt?” he asks as Trent nods furiously with the biggest smile on his face.

“Ok, you gotta be quiet though and hide under the cover,” Florian instructs with a whisper placing him on the bed as he crawls to the top of the bed and slips under the covers. “So what were you planning on doing tonight?” you ask walking out of the bathroom with an oversized shirt and shorts on.

“Well I was gonna stay here if that’s ok with you,” he answers watching you walk towards the bed. Seeing you like this always did something to him. Not that you weren’t attractive to him throughout the day, it’s just seeing you dressed down in baggy clothes, whether a shirt or sweats, made you look even more adorable to him. Which would always cause him to feel conflicted since he felt he shouldn’t be looking at you in that way, seeing that you guys were just friends.

“Yea, you know I’d never mind you staying here Flo. It’s up to you though since I have Trent here,” you smile as you pull back the covers to Trent jumping up and roaring like a monster.

“I scared you!” he laughs wrapping his arms around your neck and holding onto you. “Yea you did! Is this why you’re not asleep? You wanted to scare your poor Titi?” you ask tickling him and causing him to fall back on your bed in a fit of giggles.

“Lolo helped with the trick,” he smiles pointing at a laughing Florian. “Oh he did?” you ask with arms crossed looking at Florian with a smirk. “Seems like you just love messing with me today Munteanu”.

“Can’t help it,” he shrugs with a playful smile as he stands up to get ready for bed now. “Alright Stitch time for bed. If your mom finds out I let you stay up all night she’ll get both of us,” you say holding out your arms for him to jump in so you can take him back to his bed.

“No I sleep with you. And Lolo!” he replies settling into the pillows of your bed and laying back with his blanket. “Lolo has his own bed down the hall. He’s not gonna sleep in here,” you answer feeling Florian standing next to you.

“But I want Lolo,” he protests crossing his arms and looking at both of you with his big brown eyes. “Alright I’ll stay here with you if it’s alright with your aunt, but you have to get some sleep okay?” Florian says leaning down to get to eye level with the toddler.

“Ok,” Trent smiles before closing his eyes and cuddling with his blanket. “Are you okay with sharing a bed Y/N? If not, it’s fine and when he goes to sleep I’ll just sneak out,” he asks with a shy smile, which you’ve never seen from him before.

“Yea it’s fine. You let me stay in your bed when I visited you so it’s not like it’ll be weird or anything,” you answer donning a shy smile yourself. While neither of you wanted to admit it, you did feel slightly awkward since you had never shared a bed before.

Yea you slept in his bed in Germany, but it was the result of you having a few too many drinks while out with him and his friends. He would’ve dropped you off at your hotel, but he didn’t want anything to happen to you, like you accidentally falling and injuring yourself.

So, he brought you back to his place to make sure you were taken care of, which was probably for the best since as soon as you walked through his door, your stomach decided to surprise you with everything you had ingested in the hours prior. “Um ok well let me go shower and stuff,” he smiles before making his way across your bedroom to the bathroom and closing the door behind him.

While sitting in your bed watching a movie, your phone vibrates indicating an incoming FaceTime from Nala. “Hey sissy,” you softly greet after answering the call. “Hey! As you probably can tell, I’m gonna be here overnight so I’ll pick up Trent tomorrow sometime,“ she says with a sigh. “Is he asleep already?”

“Yea he’s asleep next to me,” you answer pointing the phone so she can see his partially covered face. “Aww ok, how was he today?” she asks propping up her phone so she can write something down on the papers in front of her.

“He was great today! I had to go to the store and left him with Flo for a while. When I came back he was asleep on his chest,” you answer playing with your comforter. “Hold up, he got him to take a nap? Tell Florian I said thanks and he’s a heaven sent,” Nala replies bowing down in front of the phone.

“Yea he’s great,” you laugh from your sister’s reaction. “It seems like he must be great in more ways than one from that goofy smile on your face,” she smirks at you putting her pen down. Unknown to both of you though, Florian had finished his shower and was about to open the door when he heard you guys mention his name.

He knew he probably shouldn’t do it, but he stood behind the door to hear how you would respond. “Not like that nasty, why you always gotta go there?” you ask rolling your eyes and softly laughing to not wake up Trent.

“I’m not saying it in that way ma’am! I’m just saying in general,” she laughs picking her pen back up to resume her work. “I know you guys are friends, but there’s a vibe there whether you guys see it or not.”

“You think so? I mean I’ve kinda thought about it sometimes but I mostly put it to the side because I’m not sure how he feels you know?” you answer moving from playing with the comforter to the hem of your shirt. “Yes I think so, and if it’s something you think about often, then I would potentially talk about it,” she answers looking from her work to you.

“Yea well maybe one day,” you say with a small smile. You knew your sister was right and you would never know how he felt unless you guys talked about it. Then again, you were afraid of bringing it up and ruining your friendship or making it awkward if he didn’t feel the same.

Hearing you say the same things he had been feeling for a while now caused a small smile to form on Florian’s lips. He also felt a vibe between you two at times, and even had some of his friends comment on it as well. Like you though, he pushed those feelings to the side, not wanting to seem like the other guys you had experiences with who only wanted to be your friend to then try to hook up with you.

“Hey I’m getting paged so I’ll talk to you tomorrow ok? Love you!” Nala smiles before blowing a kiss to the screen. “Talk to you tomorrow and love you too,” you smile blowing her a kiss back.

After you hung up your phone and placed it on your bedside table, Florian walked out of the bathroom wearing black sweatpants and a white tee. “Hey thanks again for watching Trent,” you smile as he slides under the covers on the other side of the bed. “Nala said you’re heaven sent because you got him to take a nap,” you laugh causing him to laugh with you.

“It’s no problem and tell her that I try,” he replies with a wink while settling into bed. “I knew I shouldn’t have told you that, now you’re gonna have a big head. Well bigger than usual,” you laugh as you lie down and turn to look at him.

“I don’t appreciate all this name calling today,” he says with a playful smile looking back at you. “Well maybe if you didn’t cheat earlier I’d be nicer,” you reply earning an eye roll from Florian and him sticking his tongue out at you.

“Goodnight Flo,” you yawn before closing your eyes and snuggling closer to Trent. “Night Y/N,” he responds looking at you and Trent. From everything he was feeling earlier to this very moment, he couldn’t help but think that maybe everything was a sign that he may be ready for more than he thinks he is.

Nightmares

Hey guys! In honor of it being Father’s Day, I wanted to make a short imagine about Florian being a dad. Hopefully you guys like it😊!

Warnings: None (Fluff, surprise surprise lol)

It was like every other night at your place. You were asleep in bed snuggled into Florian’s side as he watched tv, and his arm was comfortably wrapped around your body. Having recently come back home from shooting his new movie, his sleep schedule was still a little messed up, and the past few nights he couldn’t fall asleep until much later. Tonight looked like one of those night as he looked at the clock on the cable box which read 12:45 am.

As he started to switch from cable to Netflix, a small squeak like noise caught his attention. He first looked down at you to see if maybe you had woken up, but saw that you were still sound asleep so it couldn’t have been you. “Maybe I’m just hearing stuff,” he thought as he turned his attention back to the television screen. However yet again, he heard the small squeak but followed by a small gasp this time.

Slowly getting out of bed trying to not disturb you, he made his way across your shared bedroom to check on your 4 year old daughter, Marlie. Making his way to her door, he could hear soft cries, which immediately ignited his protective mode. He had to remember not to open her door too forcefully, though, to not scare her.

“What’s wrong princess?” He asks moving closer to her bed. “Nightmare,” she replied letting the remaining tears fall from her eyes.

Her brown eyes meeting his green ones, she reached her small arms out as a sign that she wanted to be picked up. “Aww it’s ok love. Come here,” he says complying with her wish. “I know it’s really late, and mommy will have a fit if she finds out, but I think this calls for ice cream”.

Sitting her down on the counter with her chocolate ice cream, Florian sat on a barstool in front of Marlie with his own serving. “Remember Mars, mom can’t know I gave you ice cream this late ok?” He says holding his pinky up as she nods and holds up hers along with him.

Seeing as though her pinky was 10 times smaller than his, they couldn’t really pinky promise the way people usually do. So to make up for it, Florian created their own way to promise each other.

“You ready to talk about your dream?” He asks using a napkin to clean the tears and chocolate from Marlie’s face. With a nod, she plays with the puddle in her bowl before explaining everything. Unknown to both of them, though, you were sat towards the bottom of the stairs listening to see why they were both up this late.

“Me and you were in the store and then you walked away. I tried to follow you and called you but I couldn’t find you,” she finishes before fresh tears emerge at the bottom of her eyes. Quickly wiping her eyes with his thumb, Florian couldn’t help but feel guilty that maybe the reason for the dream was because he wasn’t home as often as he wanted.

He wasn’t there for all of her first moments, like her first word or first steps, and while he knew you were understanding about how being away was part of his job, he never wanted Marlie to look at him as never being there, especially when she needed him most.

“I’m sorry you had that dream Mars, and I want you to know that I will always be there for you. Even when I may not be physically here, I’ll always be there. You and mommy never have to worry because I promise I’ll protect you guys,” he finished as he placed both their bowls to the side before picking her up.

“You guys are my family and I’ll never leave you okay? I love you,” he smiles kissing Marlie’s cheek and making her giggle from the scruffiness of his beard. “I love you too tata,” she smiles back.

You already knew he loved both of you dearly and would go to hell and back for his family, but hearing him say it, you couldn’t help but smile as tears fell from your eyes. You really found something special when you started dating Florian and thanked God every chance you got that you met him.

“Ok now let’s get you to bed before mom finds out we’re still up,” Florian says with Marlie on his hip as he walks towards the sink to place the bowls in the water. That was your cue to quietly escape from your spot on the stairs and get back in bed so they wouldn’t know you were spying on them.

A few minutes later, Florian entered your room trying to stay quiet so he wouldn’t “wake” you up. Settling back into bed, he softly wraps his arms around you before burying his face in the back of your neck. “I love you,” you smile wrapping your arms around his, “I love you too,” he says lifting his head up to kiss your cheek before laying back down to go to sleep.

Surprises

Warnings: None (Fluffy again!!)

Word Count: 2,053

Like it did every morning, your phone vibrated as it emitted a soft melody indicating that it was 9 am and time to get up. However, seeing as though you had nothing to do today you immediately hit the “Done” button and turned over to carry yourself back to sleep. You took your lazy days just as serious as your workdays and if that meant you wouldn’t get out of bed until 3, then so be it.

Just as you felt yourself drifting off to sleep, your alarm chimed again making you groan as you felt around the covers to find your phone so you could shut it off. “That’s weird, I thought I hit done...maybe I accidentally hit snooze or something,” you said to yourself as you placed your phone beside you and, yet again, tried to go back to sleep. This didn’t last long though due to your phone alarming once again, making you very annoyed and now fully awake as you sat up to fully look at the screen to see what the problem was.

“Ok I KNOW I cut you off last time so why do you keep doing this?!” You asked in a frustrated tone. Opening your phone you realized there were a number of alarms set to go off in 5-minute intervals until 10 am. “What the-“ you started as you cut on the lamp on your beside table only to see a notecard with your name on it.

“Morning sunshine! As you probably saw, I set a bunch of alarms on your phone so that you’d wake up early today. I know I know, you take your lazy days seriously and I’m sorry, but I’m sure after you see the surprise I have for you, you’ll forgive me ;). We’re leaving by 11 so be ready!! Love, Flo”

“This man better be glad I love him,” you thought to yourself as you smiled at the note. Looks like your planned lazy day would have to wait till tomorrow since somebody decided to have some tricks up his sleeves today. Seeing that is was already close to 9:20, you decided to get up and start getting ready.

“It’s meeee!” Florian yelled as he walked through the front door of your apartment using the spare key you always left under the flowerpot next to your door. As part of his routine when coming to your place, he looks on your stove to see if you made anything then opens your fridge to see what all you have to drink, usually choosing to grab a bottle of water. He would also sit on your couch and wait until you came out of your room, but hearing the loud music coming from the bathroom as well as you singing, he couldn’t help but mess with you a little more.

“’Cause I don’t care, when I’m with my baby yeah! All the bad things disappear! And you’re making me feel like maybe I am somebody!!” you loudly sung as you finished doing your hair before you were interrupted by the vibrations from your phone.

*bignasty has tagged you in their story!* flashed across your screen making you open Instagram confused as to what this man had done. Everything started out like a typical Florian insta-story with him showing a boomerang of his face dripping with sweat fresh out of a workout and winking at the camera. Next was a mirror selfie of him showing off his outfit: backwards cap, white t-shirt, ripped jeans, and his white Nike air max’s. You already knew his fans were having the time of their lives see those images and probably in cardiac arrest. However, seeing the last video of your bathroom door and you singing on the other side of it, with heart eye emojis placed around it made your jaw drop and heart sink to your bladder. “FLORIAN!!!” you screamed out causing him to try to hide his laughter by covering his mouth. “Hmm?” he said still somewhat close to the door leaning on the nearby wall.

You open your bathroom door to find his cheeky smile, which you couldn’t help but laugh at although you were a little upset at the video. “You know what you did, don’t play coy! You know how I feel about my voice,” you respond with your arms crossed, mimicking his body language by leaning on the doorframe. “I know Y/N, but you know I love your singing voice and thought the video was cute! Plus if anybody says anything mean or hurtful about you I’ll block them” he replies standing upright now to show how serious he was.

“Yea yea I know incredible hulk,” you say as you go back to looking at yourself in the mirror to make sure you didn’t miss any spots in your hair, “So where are we going this lovely morning?”

“One, last time I checked I’m not an enraged green giant so why you call me incredible hulk I don’t know. And two, if I tell you it wouldn’t be a surprise now would it?” he asks with a smirk on his face as he drapes his arm over your shoulders looking at both of you guys in the mirror. “Speaking of which, are you ready to go?”

“Almost, just let me put on my face and my shoes,” you answer already putting on your eyeliner and earning a small groan from an antsy Florian as he retreated back to the couch to sit and wait for you to get done.

After about 40 minutes of driving, your question of where you guys were going was finally answered when you saw an overhead sign that read “Zoo” along with pictures of various animals walking in front of and behind it. “Aww it’s the Zoo!!! I haven’t been to one since I was a little kid,” you excitedly say as you grab his arm that was resting on the middle console. “This was the surprise?!”

“Part of it,” he answers smiling at you briefly before returning his attention back to the road. Once parked, you guys entered the through the gates and began to explore everything you could before it got too busy or too late.

Hand in hand, you walked the grounds of the zoo making sure to see the main exhibits like the monkeys, tigers, and of course the lions, which Florian had to get a picture with since he said that’s one of the animals he relates to the most. There were also smaller exhibits that you guys decided to go through as well, such as the butterflies, tropical birds, and snakes. Florian jokingly tried to get you to go through the bug exhibit, but just thinking about the spiders that would be crawling in their habitats and hearing the hissing of the roaches from a few feet away made every inch of your body itch.

Needless to say, that was the only exhibit you guys did not see and you wanted to get as far away as you possibly could. “You know one day, you’re gonna have to face your fear of insects love,” he softly spoke into your ear as he leaned down to wrap his arms around your shoulders while walking behind you. “I know but today is not that day dear,” you replied placing your hands on his arms as the both of you laughed at your response.

Before you know it, you were back towards the front of the zoo, which left you slightly disappointed since you never saw your favorite animal. Sensing you were about to say something about it, Florian grabs your hand to direct you towards an employee only area. “Flo we can’t go back there, what are you doing?” you ask looking around anticipating security of some sort to yell at the both of you for entering a restricted zone.

“Trust me I know what I’m doing,” he smiles at you before walking up to a female employee with Heather on her nametag. “Hi! You must be Mr. Munteanu!” she greeted cheerily as she shook his hand.

“Hello and yes I am. This is my girlfriend Y/N, the one we spoke about on the phone,” he smiles while placing his hands on your shoulders. “Hi Y/N, and I want to welcome both of you to the elephant section of our zoo!”

“Florian you didn’t..” you look up at his glowing face to see him shrug with a smile, “You gotta see what I did first.”

“If you both would like to follow me we can get a little more up close with a couple of the elephants we have here!” Heather spoke as she guided the both of you to an outdoor area reminiscent of the African Savanna, but on a smaller scale. “This is ZaZa and Congo! They’re our newest family members here and they’re actually twins, which is very rare in nature.”

“Hi ZaZa and Congo!” you excitedly whisper as to not scare away the small animals. You were desperately trying to contain yourself, but you couldn’t stop the tear beginning to escape from your eye. Elephants had been your favorite animal since the first time you saw them on the discovery channel as a child. You loved how they were so close and connected like your own family, plus the baby elephants were too cute!

“Flo look! Congo’s wrapping his trunk around my leg!” you say as you hurriedly tap Florian’s arm making him let out a small laugh at your excitement and look of joy on your face. “Yea Congo is very smooth when it comes to the ladies,” Heather laughs while petting ZaZa with Florian.

“Alright Congo, you seem cool and all but I can’t have you stealing my girl now,” Florian jokes while bending down to pet the small elephant, causing Congo to let out a small squeak from his trunk and you to laugh at his “jealousy”. After spending a few more minutes with the elephants and getting some pictures, you both decided it was time to go since you hadn’t eaten since breakfast and were getting hungry. In all honesty though, you wished you could stay with Congo and ZaZa forever, or take them home with you at least.

Before leaving, you both decided to get some ice cream to try to hold you over until you could make it to dinner. Sat on a picnic bench, you couldn’t help but look at Florian thinking of everything that he did for you today and how much you felt loved in this moment. Not that you didn’t feel loved by him before, it’s just he always tried to show you how much you meant to him doing various things like randomly buying you flowers or bringing you your favorite food when he knew you weren’t having the best day. On top of that, just him being selfless, providing constant love and comfort, whether with you, his parents, or his brothers always warmed your heart and made you feel as if you were floating above earth.

“What? I have something on my face?” he asked reaching up to touch his beard when he realized you were staring at him with a smile on your face. “No,” you laugh a little before taking his hand in yours, “I was just thinking of how amazing you are and want to not only thank you for everything today, but for everything that you do. I really appreciated it,” you finish as he places his other hand on yours to bring it up to his lips and softly kiss.

“Anytime love! I want you to know that everything I do is to show you how much I love and appreciate you,” he replies. While sitting in a comfortable silence and enjoying your time together, a little boy, no older than 6, walking by the table with his mom gasps when seeing Florian and immediately halts. “Look mama! It’s the incredible hulk!!” he yells jumping up and down and tugging on his mother’s arm.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Florian says quietly to you with a laugh before turning towards the small child to talk and take as many pictures as he wants. “Told you so,” you say as you laugh to yourself while finishing your ice cream.
