Flyboy and the Florist-1

Bob Floyd x F!Reader

Warnings: None, Fluff

Word Count: 466

Author's Note: This is my first time writing for Bob and I hope I did him justice. Also, I tried to keep reader pretty neutral in features but she does have glasses and ear piercings!

It was an accident. One moment Bob was trying to find the perfect bouquet for Penny from Maverick because he trusted the quiet man. The next he’s surrounded by flowers on the ground and the prettiest eyes are staring at him with concern. Bob didn’t think that someone so beautiful would be the owner of the little florist shop he found on Google. It had the highest reviews and that was good enough for him. He was not expecting to be enamored with her when he first walked in. Hence why he missed the bucket with freshly cut peonies to the right of him. Which resulted in him slipping on the wet floor and landing flat on his ass.

“Are you okay?” she asked. Tilting her head which resulted in a soft jingle from the earrings she was wearing. The stars and moon twinkling in the sunlight added an almost ethereal appearance to her but maybe it was just in his head.

“Y-yeah. Sorry about knocking that over. I can pay for them if they’re ruined now?” he said while standing up quickly. He felt like a total idiot knocking over your perfect flowers and his momma raised him to be a gentleman. So his immediate thought was to somehow fix the silly little mistake he made.

“You’re totally fine,” she said with a chuckle while pushing up her glasses. “ They’re just flowers and besides I can repurpose them into one of my bath salts. An easy fix.”

All Bob could focus on was her pretty smile and how much her glasses fit her face perfectly. With his head in the clouds, he missed the question she just asked him.

“I’m sorry what was that again?” he felt completely flustered.

“I asked what type of bouquet are you looking for? Is it for a partner or a friend?” she asked with a curious look on her face.

“Oh! It's not for me. My superior wanted some help picking out something for his partner.” Bob immediately replied with a flush on his cheeks.

“Well, he must trust your insight a lot to give such an important task to you.” She turned around and picked up a bouquet that had morning glory, baby’s breath, and roses. “Here this bouquet will be perfect. Baby’s breath means everlasting love, Morning glory means affection, and pink and white roses together mean “I love you still and I always will.”

Bob stood there even more enamored than before, the way she rattled off the meaning of each flower with such excitement made him want to know more. About her or the language of flowers, he wasn’t sure but he knew that this wasn’t the last time he would be crossing paths with this enigma of a woman. He’ll make sure of it.

December Writing Challenge

Day 13 - Confessions

Marseille/OC

Jochen had decided a long time ago that he was going to do this, it just never felt like the right time. Today, though felt like as good a time as any. He wanted to make it special, to make her feel special and loved in this cold world that often didn’t show love to anyone.

So, he came up with a plan. He would dress nicely, he would bring her flowers, and he would try not to be the abrasive, rude flyboy that everyone knew. Although, he knew that, to her, he wasn’t any of those things.

She’d told him that she didn’t see him that way.

That she saw him as caring and kind, as someone that refused to let his friends and comrades be hurt, and he’d always secretly loved that she had that view of him.

Something so different from what everyone else thought.

He’d been nervous around her ever since he’d decided he was going to tell her how he felt, and that wasn’t something he was used to. He found himself trying not to show it, but in the end, it always got the best of him.

Once he was happy with his appearance, he left his room in the barracks to go into town. He only knew of a few florists that had flowers in the droughty country of Egypt.

The Egyptian sentries in the barracks told hm where they had the best flowers in town, that Amina would love them. She’d told him to get her a lotus bouquet because she thought that Amina might like lotus more than any rose that he could get her.

He couldn’t help but agree. Amina never seemed like the kind of woman that chased after the nicer things in life.

The flower shop was quite a bit further than the other ones he knew of, but it would be worth it, and who was he to argue?

He wasn’t sure if flowers could have that big of a gap in quality that would warrant him walking all the way across town to get them, but he thought if there was a difference in quality, this would be the occasion where it mattered the most. He made the walk quickly, noticing the way that people watched him as he passed. It was always like this.

He was never sure if it was because they hated him or if they envied him. He really couldn’t imagine why any of them would envy him.

When he walked into the flower shop he was greeted by a kindly old woman with her silver hair in a silk turban. She smiled at him as if she had no idea who he was, and maybe she didn’t, because she was kind to him. She showed him her selection of flowers.

“Are you looking for anything in particular, dear?” the kindly woman asked, a soft smile gracing her lips. She looked almost empathetic as if she thought something might be wrong.

“Lotus please,” he said, trying not to sound too German toward the woman.

“Ah, for a lucky woman?” the shopkeeper asked, and he would have normally told her to mind her own business, but he felt the need to tell this old woman the truth, although he wasn’t sure why.

“Yes, for a woman, although I’m not sure if you can say she’s lucky if I’m the one interested in her.”

“I’m sure you’re too harsh on yourself, sir. You seem like a nice young man,” the woman said as she walked to a spot close to the register and examined the bouquets there for a moment. She took her time as if she were trying to find something specific, before finally deciding on a bouquet that she turned around to show to him. “How do you like this one? Do you think the lovely lady will approve?”

“I think she’ll love them,” he answered, examining the gorgeous looking blooms, white petals with large yellow centers that reminded him of warm summer days and sunshine. Two things that he knew Amina adored, and so he knew that they would be the perfect gift for her.

He paid the nice woman, even leaving a bit of money as a tip since she’d been so helpful, and bid her farewell so that he could make his way to where he knew Amina would be.

This walk he took a bit slower, partly because of his nerves, but partly because it was such a beautiful day. He knew Amina loved days like this when she could be outside soaking up the sun and she could pretend like their world wasn’t as fucked up as it actually was.

If it brought her joy, he didn’t want to be the one to rain on her parade.

He rehearsed in his head the whole time he was walking. He knew what he wanted to say to her, he just wasn’t sure that he could word it very eloquently. He had never been good with words, although he was confident he would be able to get his point across in a way she would understand.

She always seemed to understand him, no matter how horrible he was at talking sometimes. She seemed to understand a lot more about him than just what he was trying to say to her, though. She seemed to understand more than anyone, even him, gave her credit for.

Once he started to crest the hill to her favorite spot, he was sure he knew what he would say to her.

When he saw her, he knew he had to push himself to do it quickly, or he wouldn’t be able to find the words. So, he just started talking, quickly and precisely, so that she would finally get it.

So that he could finally be free of the burden of keeping it a secret.

“Amina, I love you, I always have. It was stupid to hide it for so long, or at least to try to hide it. I’m sure I wasn’t very good at it. You always had a way of seeing through things like that anyway. I’m sure you probably already knew it, although you never would have told me if you did because that wasn’t the way you did things. You wanted me to say it, so there it is. I love you. I got you these, your people said they’re your favorite. I don’t know if they’re right, but I thought it might have been when I saw them because they remind me of you more than anything else. Although, I guess everything kind of reminds me of you. I know this is kind of cliche, but I wanted you to know. I needed you to know. I just wish I would have been brave enough to tell you before it was too late.”

He put the flowers that he’d bought, that he knew Amina would have absolutely adored, down on her grave, although it was hard for him to let the stems of the flowers go. It felt too final, like if he left the flowers there she would really be gone, although he knew that was the fact of the matter anyway. He felt stupid for not confessing sooner because at least then she would have known for sure before she was taken away, and that was something he knew he would regret for the rest of his life.

He had promised himself that he wouldn’t have any regrets in life, but he thought he might have to make an exception for this one.

Flyboy and the Florist-2

Bob Floyd x F!Reader

Warnings: None, Fluff, lil bit of Angst with Bob's sad boi hours

Word Count: 539

Author's Note: Here's the next part and I hope you guys like it! For fun there's a small Taylor Swift song reference in this. Leave in the comments what's your guess!

“Since when did you move into a greenhouse?” Bradley questioned while trying to avoid the multiple bouquets and plants surrounding Bob’s apartment. Every open counter space was filled with almost every flower under the sun.

“Or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Bob, what’s going on?” Natasha replied while glancing over at him. Bob didn’t know how to explain that he had been going to the florist shop every day for almost two weeks. Every time he walked in he told himself he would ask for the owner’s number and then a date but instead he walked out with a new leafy friend. He just couldn’t build up the courage to tell her he was there for her and not for a bouquet for his coworker’s sister’s baby shower (that was a lie.) It all boiled down to the simple fact that Bob tried to work up the guts to ask her but once he set his sights on her it was like his brain turned to mush. He was a goddamn WSO for the Navy and one woman made all that precision and expertise go down the drain.

“Well, there’s this woman I-”

“Woman?! Damn Bob I didn’t even know you were talking to other women besides Nat he–Ow!” Bradley immediately interrupted before Bob could finish his sentence.

“Let Bob finish idiot,” the interruption led to Natasha hitting Bradley on the head. “Sorry, Bob continue what you were saying.”

“The woman is the owner of the florist shop I went to for Maverick. And for the past two weeks, I've tried to get her number but every time I just clam up.” Bob looked down at his shoes feeling defeated about his woes. He felt like at this point should he even try again. Natasha sensing this went over to Bob and gave him a pat on his shoulder.

“How about we help you, Bob? Do you need some practice? Or maybe tips?”

“How about an entirely new personal–Ow!”Natasha glared at Bradley which shut him up rather quickly after smacking his head again.

“No thanks, guys. I think I might give up on her.”

“Give up? Bob why would you give up!? You’re a WSO in the Navy for God's sake! Bradley and I both know that you can do anything you put your mind to.” Natasha said while resting her hand on Bob’s shoulder.

“Nat, I’ve literally tried to ask her for two weeks. I think I'll look crazy if I continue to go buy flowers I don't need.”

“How about we come with you next time? Isn’t the shop also an apothecary? I’ve been wanting to check it for a while.”

“You really would do that for me?” Bob looked at both of them with surprise. He didn’t think that his coworkers would help him like this. Well, Bradley might make fun of him for a little bit longer but Bob knew that he cared.

“Of course lover boy! Let’s get you that phone number and maybe more.” Bradley replied with a humorous smile on his face.

“Thank guys.” Bob smiles with a twinkle in his eyes like looked like stars. Maybe this would work. Maybe he could finally have something good happen in his life.

Flyboy and the Florist-3

Bob Floyd x F!Reader

Warnings: None except our nervous WSO, Fluff

Word Count: 830

Author's Note: Here's the next part! This one is a little longer than the others but its one of the most important moments for our little couple! Also, I hid another hint of how reader feels about Bob in here and her nickname/callsign! Again I love talking with you guys so please reblog/comment/ask about this story!

Maybe taking his two best friends to meet his crush was a bad idea. Bob was already sweating bullets about finally asking her out and maybe bringing two people known to embarrass Bob was not the way to do this. It was too late anyway. Natasha was driving, Bob was in the passenger seat, and Bradley was in the back. Honestly, Bob felt like he was going to throw up. The butterflies in his stomach had become aggravated. Would he be successful this time? Or would he come home with another bouquet of blush tea roses and what she calls dwarf sunflowers? He wasn’t sure.

Natasha noticed the grey storm cloud that was hovering over Bob. She knew that whoever this florist was, she was making her backseater question his every decision. “Bob, I’m sure you’ll get her number this time. Okay?”

This made him turn his head to face his partner. “Are you sure? For the past two weeks, I’ve tried to conjure up the words and instead, I just word vomit in front of her.”

“Is it that bad Bobby boy?” Bradley asked while leaning on the center console. He didn’t think anything could rattle the WSO except Jake’s jabs at him during a drunken round of pool. “Is this florist that daunting? Is she scary or somethin’?”

The question made Bob think about her. She wasn’t at all daunting. She was alluring and beautiful in ways that Bob couldn’t explain. It made Bob feel like a complete fool. How could he go for a girl who is so beautiful and kind like her? Either way, he knew that if he got her number and asked her out on a date, he would feel more successful than what happened with the uranium mission. A curt stop shook him out of his thoughts. Natasha had parked in the of the shop. The sign hung in the window. It said “Apotheca Blooms” with botanical and celestial motifs surrounding it. “Is this the place?” asked Bradley while stepping out of Nat’s car. He was surprised that the “supposed” daunting florist had a shop that looked warm and cozy. He was expecting something entirely else. “Yep. Let’s hope today is the day.” Bob said with a somewhat hopeless sigh. He was going back to the thought that this was a bad idea. Would his friends be great wingmen/wingwomen? Or would they make the situation worse? Well, it was too late to figure that out because Nat and Bradley were already through the door. Bob quickly followed after the chaotic duo hoping that everything would go smoothly.

Walking in, the three of them started looking around. Natasha found a whole section of bath salts and bath bombs that were already calling her name. Bradley was taking everything in from the flowers to the table of crystals. Bob was looking for the reason he came.

“Are you finding everything okay?” said a voice coming from behind the table full of bouquets.

“Ahhh!” Bradley yelped while searching for the voice. The florist came around the table to greet everyone.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you,” she said while looking at the trio. She was surprised to see two new faces alongside Bob.

Bradley at that moment decided to get a look at the woman that was haunting Bob. What he saw was a woman that he didn’t think Bob would for based on appearances but he knew that appearances can be deceiving. “More surprised than scared. I didn’t see you hiding in all that flora and fauna.” Bradley answered back while chuckling.

“Well, it wouldn’t be the first time I surprised a customer. I’ve been told a have quiet footfalls.”She said while showing her captivating smile. “Either way, how can I help you folks?”

“Well I’m here for some bath salts which I already found and this guy is just here for the ride,” Nat replied while pointing her thumb over to Bradley. The florist nodded when she looked over to Bob.

“Hi, Bobby. How are you?”

“I’m-m great! How are you? Did you ever get that new tea blend figured out?”

“I did! You should definitely try it, I think you’ll like it.” She immediately answered the WSO’s question with delight.

This is when Nat and Bradley realized something that Bob didn’t. The florist already liked him and he was missing all the signs. Nat decided to elbow Bob in the side to get him to stop avoiding the main reason they were there. Bob recognized this so he decided now or never. “Umm, actually I came here for something else.”

“Oh? What is it Bobby?” she asked while tilting her head.

Taking a deep breath, Bob thought out his next words carefully. He knew he couldn’t keep buying more flowers for zero reason. He had to make you see that he could treat you right and more.

“Well, I was wondering if I could take you out for a date.”

Flyboy and the Florist-4

Bob Floyd x F!Reader

Warnings: None, Fluff

Word Count: 354

Author's Note: Yay! We finally get to know reader's callsign/nickname! This one is a little short but I'll make it up in the next part hopefully. Enjoy 💜

“So baby on board, I heard you got yourself a date soon?” Jake casually asked Bob while aiming his cue to land a ball in a pocket. Jake had been curious about the whole thing concerning the quiet WSO. He had heard the whispers from Nat and Bradley that Bob had scored himself a date with a Flora. Who was Flora? He wasn’t sure but she got Bob tied up in knots. Enough so that Bob was leaving as soon as possible at the end of each day. Always in a hurry to get to his truck before anyone else. Before anyone could ask Bob where he was going.

“I do. Why?” The question made Bob hesitant to let Jake know any more information. He wanted to try to keep his date as private as he could. He wanted it to be perfect. Or at least as perfect as it can go.

“Just surprised that’s all Bobby boy,” Jake replied. He was still stunned that the man had scored himself a date with a woman Bradley had described as “out of Bob’s league.”

This made Bob frown. Jake’s facial expression made Bob irritated but he didn’t want to ruminate on it too long. Jake was just being Jake. “Also, where did you get the name Flora?”

“It’s what I decided to call her after seeing her among all those flowers,” Bradley piped up while coming over with more beers in his hands. “And it kinda stuck when talking about her with Nat.”

“Oh,” Bob was confused as to why Bradley and Natasha were talking about her but he pondered the idea of the nickname of Flora. Why he didn’t think of it first he wasn’t sure. Yet, he liked it. The nickname felt like it fit her. She was always surrounded by flowers and they added to her beauty. Flowers that he bought every time he attempted to ask her out. Flowers that have had hidden meanings to them he will soon learn. Flowers that she puts so much care into. Flowers that brought him and her together. Flowers.

His flower.

His Flora.

“I like it.”

Flyboy and the Florist-5

Bob Floyd x F!Reader

Warnings: None, Fluff

Word Count: 455

Author's Note: Enjoy 💜 It's almost time for the date!

This was the first time where you felt nervous about a first date. In the past, every time someone asked you out, you said yes and went through the date without a hitch. Now, you were sweating bullets trying to decide what to wear for the cute Navy guy. You have been thinking about Bob since he came in for his senior officer. He was so sweet and seemed way better than those guys you dated in the past. From the way he pushed up his glasses to the way he looked in his khaki uniform, everything about him was attractive.

When he came into the shop and asked you out, you were excited. After seeing this gorgeous man coming into your store every other day, you were so delighted to find out he was interested in you just as much as you were in him. Then again you had shown your feelings through your blooms. The most recent was the bouquet of blush tea roses and dwarf sunflowers. The roses meant “If you love me you will discover it” and the dwarf sunflowers meant adoration. You had hoped that he would look up their meaning because of your first encounter. Yet, your confession went under the radar, which was fine. This meant it gave you a chance to show your affection for the man through words and hopefully more than one date.

Grabbing an outfit that was cute but comfy seemed like the best bet. Once you got dressed, you made your way to the living room where you left a cup of tea and an open copy of Lady Susan by Jane Austen. Picking up where you left off, you hoped reading would calm your nerves. Reading about has always been an escape for you. A way to cope with the hardships you’ve had in life. A way to believe that life had more to it.

A knock on your door made you put the book down. You made your way over to the door, checking your appearance in the mirror. Fixing any flyaways and smoothing your top, you opened the door, and there stood Bob. He looked just as nervous as you did.

“Hi.”

“Hi. Are you ready?” he asked offering his arm.

“Yep,” quickly you grabbed your purse and took his arm. He guided you to the passenger side of his truck. Being the gentleman he was, he opened the door and helped you in. He made his way over to the driver's side. Starting the car and pulling out onto the road, he started to drive. Where you were going was unknown but that was the exciting part. Hopefully, this shy man would make even your wildest dreams come true.

Word Count: 632

Author's Note: It's date time!!! Don't know if I'm going fully off hiatus but I felt inspired by TWICE's new song RUSH. Definitely suggest listening to it while reading! Enjoy💜💜

You were pleasantly surprised when Bob pulled up to the San Diego Botanical Gardens. It had been a while since you had gone and you were excited to show him all your favorite plants.

“I hope this isn’t too cheesy for a first date?” he asked. His cheeks were flustered and he couldn’t look you in the eye. It was cute, this brilliant man was afraid you wouldn’t like going to a place full of the items you sell daily.

“Far from it Bob, I love coming here. It gives me a chance to think about new ways to create new bouquets,” you replied with a gentle smile on your lips. Hopefully, your answer will ease the nervous WSO. Going to the gardens always helped you clear your mind and open it to creative thought processes.

Bob hopped out of his car and walked to the passenger side to open the door for you. Him being everso the gentleman, made you impressed and feel special. Taking his hand, you hop out of the car as gracefully as you can, and you begin making your way to the entrance. When Bob got to the ticket counter, he finally dropped your hand. You hadn’t even realized that you two were holding hands all the way from the car into the building. It felt so natural that it slipped your mind that you had given him your hand.

Bob quickly got the tickets and let you lead the way. You began walking around and pointing out all your favorite flowers. The entire time Bob listened to you intently, amazed by you going on about your passion. He had a kind, soft smile, knowing that he picked a great place for the first date.

“Am I talking too much?” you asked, flustered with how fast you were talking. You must have been talking for at least 20 minutes.

“No, no. Not all at. It’s nice seeing you open up and explain your passion to me,” Bob replied with a reassuring look on his face. The look on his face made you feel like for once in your life someone was interested in you for more than just your looks. All your past partners only liked you as arm candy. Stand there and look pretty, don’t say a thing. Then again your choice of partners has been questionable, at least that’s what your friends had told you.

Quickly refocusing back on the date, you start to guide Bob to your favorite place, the gazebo. You liked sitting there watching people pass by while you clear your mind. Holding his hand again, you make your way over to your favorite bench. Both of you sit down, you don’t know what to say. You feel like you ran out of topics to talk about, ever since he started to come to see you frequently at the shop. You glance over at him and find him simply looking at you. This caught you off guard, no one had ever stared at you so intensely. He seemed to be trying to remember every single detail about your face. From your eyes to the creases from laughing. Then, slowly he began to lean in, his eyes trained on your lips.

“Can I?” was all he said once he was a centimeter away from your face.

“Please,” you simpered.

Bob took that confirmation to connect his lips to yours. It felt like time stopped. This gentle and unsure kiss he was giving, felt ten times better than any other kiss you had. This moment almost felt like it was out of a story. Sitting under a gazebo covered in flowers, kissing a man who enamored you so quickly with his shy remarks and contagious laugh. For once, you felt like everything was alright.
