Peach Roses: Appreciation, Closing the deal, Get Together, Sincerity

A low groan left the Irish toy maker as he sat up from where he’d passed out at his desk, how long had he been there? What time was it? He put his hand on his lower back, putting pressure on it as he leaned back till he felt a pop, that was better. He looked up to the clock to see that it was actually early the next morning, then he saw it out of the corner of his eye, there was a vase on his desk filled with peach colored rose… Or at least that’s what he thought they were, he could’ve been wrong. When’d that get there? It most certainly hadn’t been there before he fell asleep.

“The hell?” He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes before spotting a card with his name on it sticking out of the arrangement, he took it out and moved to hold it closer under his lamp to read it in the dark room.

Dear Shawn,

You’ve been working yourself very hard recently and I want you to know that I appreciate the hard work that you do, and you don’t need to do so just so you can buy me something, I promise that I don’t need anything. Besides, I would take one of your plushes over some store-bought thing any day. ;3

Love,

[Y/N]

Shawn could feel his face heat up as he read the note over and over again. He knew he should have never told Chase his plan to buy a gift for [Y/N] to say thanks for helping him set up and run an online shop to sell his plushes. He should’ve known the man was easy to break, all you needed to do was offer him baked goods after all. He looked at the roses and then back to the note, rereading it once more. Well, now he needed to go thank them. With a sigh he set the note onto his desk and got up, feeling just about every one of his joints popping as he got up.

It wasn’t exactly hard to find [Y/N] that time of day, they were in the kitchen making a pot of coffee for when the others finally rolled out of their respective beds.

“Oh hey! You’re up earlier than I’d thought you’d be.” They spoke with a smile once they spotted him.

“Uh… Yeah.” He rubbed the back of his neck and looked away from them. “I uh… Wanted to say thank ya for the flowers. Though, if I’m ta be honest I think I should be the one buying you flowers.” He sighed.

“You don’t need to buy me anything, Shawn.” They shook their head, leaning on the counter and crossing their arms.

“But ya’ve done so much for me! You helped me make that store and you’ve been helping me understand how to work the orders and ship them and… I wouldn’t have been able ta do any of this without ya. So, I thought saving up and using the money I’m making through this to buy you a gift would be the best way to say thanks.” He said, walking over to them, why did they not understand that? He thought it was pretty sound logic.

“I did all that for you, because I wanted to help. You were making them anyway, and you said you missed knowing that there were kids out there hugging your toys and playing with them. I don’t want you to work yourself to death for me. But I do appreciate the sentiment. Thus, why I got you the roses.” They explained, letting out a small laugh as he only seemed to look more frustrated.

“Yeah about that! You gettin me things only makes the situation worse! Here I am trying to thank you for helping me and you go buyin me a thing to say thank you for something I haven’t even done yet! Makin me feel like I got to do two things now!”

“But you don’t! That’s not how this works!” [Y/N] laughed as Shawn huffed.

“Oh? It’s not now is it? Then tell me, how is this supposed ta work?” He questioned, crossing his arms and looking them up and down.

“You accept the roses I gave you to show you my appreciation for your kind thought, as well as the fact that I don’t believe that you need to return the favor.” They said, placing a hand on his shoulder which was soon covered by his own.

“No.” He told them with a smile, he wasn’t about to let it end with them doing two nice things for him and him having done nothing in return! That is not how this was about to work.

“Shawn no.”

“Shawn yes. Now, if ya don’t mind, I believe I’ll take some of the coffee you’ve made and I’ll be goin back ta work so I can get you something.” He moved their hand off his shoulder and let it go so their arm would drop to their side.

“Shawn!”

“You’re not winnin this one, my friend. Just face it, you’ve done two nice things for me. Now I have ta do three.” He explained, while grabbing a mug and pouring himself some coffee.

“Wait, no. That’s not how this works.”

“It’s how it’s gonna work.” He said simply, setting the pot back and sipping from his mug before walking out of the kitchen. “See ya around, [Y/N]. Oh, and thanks for the flowers.” He made sure to say before he was out of sight.

“Yeah yeah…”

The second to the last one! This one kind of had me giggling to be honest hehe! I also really like the idea of someone helping Shawn make an online store so he can sell his toys again, after all he’s a dang workaholic. Also, sorry about the wait, I really wasn’t sure what to do for Shawn and I wanted to save Jack for last. Anyway! As always I accept any and all feed back, thank you guys for reading!
