Chapter Text
"Sneeze one more time and I'm taking you to the hospital this is not normal. You've been sneezing all day," Nishinoya declared raising an eyebrow at Daichi who was currently trying to hold in a sneeze.
"Allergies?" Daichi said unsure. "Stupid flower shop downstairs probably got some new flowers. That's probably why I'm sneezing so much. I don't even know what kind of flower it is."
"The flower shop where that cute long haired guy works at?" Nishinoya's interest perked up so fast, smiling wide in excitement.
Daichi rolled his watery eyes, "Yeah sure. I have no idea why you haven't made a move on him, and don't give me that 'he's not like other guys Daichi!' bullshit," He grabbed a tissue from the tissue box Nishinoya handed him, he tried to wipe the tears from his eyes. He sneezed one more time before throwing the tissue away.
"In my defense he gets really nervous when he talks to me."
Daichi snorted, "Probably cause you scare him with your sudden yelling. The guy is probably not used to people jumping and using hand expressions all over the place. Who could blame him," he shrugged his shoulders.
Nishinoya pouted looking offended, "We should go to the flower shop and ask them what new flowers they got because you look like shit and I don't like seeing you like that."
"You just want to hit on the long haired guy, don't pretend you care," Daichi scowled at him in disgust, "Don't go running around flirting with guys you don't even know their sexuality, it's dangerous.
"That feels like a challenge to me Daichi!" Nishinoya playfully exclaimed.
"Do not turn this into a game," Daichi sternly warned blowing his nose with a new tissue.
"You're no fun. You're just a strict dad who's never gonna get laid with that attitude, look where it's got you, living in a home upstairs from a flower shop with two cute bangable guys working in it. Why miss on the opportunity? Why spend your life with Nishinoya buying you tissue boxes -which you totally owe me like fifteen bucks because of it- when a cute guy can do it for you?" he rambled dramatically sighing.
Daichi rolled his eyes once again, "Maybe I'm not ready for a relationship yet," Daichi replied effortlessly, he quietly begged for Nishinoya to not bring anything up about his previous relationship.
"I'm being serious. You need to get over-"
"Stop," Daichi warned glaring at Nishinoya who instantly shut his mouth, "I'll go to the flower shop if it means that much for you but just don't mention him."
Nishinoya nodded a bright smile gradually showing on his face, his eyes were filled with excitement and mischief. Daichi gave an exasperated sigh rubbing his temples, he was relieved Nishinoya didn't mention anything about his previous relationship because truthfully he wanted to forget about the guy. Just bringing Kuroo up made his stomach clench in anger and nausea. He thought about all the times he had with Kuroo and he just wanted to punch a wall in disgust and depression, he doesn't like to admit that part.
"Let's go!" Nishinoya announced leading their way to the door.
After multiple sneezes while trying to go downstairs they finally reached the flowershop which wasn't supposed to take so long but Daichi kept sneezing and coughing resulting in various stops while going down the stairs. Nishinoya was becoming impatient he quickly went in the flower shop leaving Daichi behind.
He finally entered greeted with who seemed to be a fucking angel in Daichi's eyes. His smile was so bright and sweet it was like the sun on a cold day. Everything would seem cold until the ray of sunshine hit your face and you suddenly didn't feel so cold anymore. "Welcome! Are you looking for anything?" he asked so politely, Daichi wanted to die this guy could not be real he seemed too perfect.
"U-uh I have a question," Nice going idiot, you sound like a total loser, Daichi cursed to himself, he slightly blushed turning his attention to the flowers around him before sneezing loudly.
"Bless you," the employee said, "What may I help you with?"
Daichi wanted to cry and die, he probably looked like a mess and he was panicking over one incredibly cute guy who was smiling politely at him. He couldn't believe that just only seconds ago he was moping around over his ass getting dumped and then now he's left speechless over a grey haired short angel. His life could not get any more fucked up and yes maybe he was testing the waters and daring any God up there to make his life more miserable mostly because he just painfully loved to see his life get worse, not really, he doesn't really. It didn't really matter anymore, he jinxed it the moment he walked into the flower shop because his eyes are getting watery, "Holy shit," he mumbled his eyesight half blurry.
"Are you okay?" the cutie sounded concerned.
"Yeah, sorry allergies," Daichi explained, "Um, I wanted to talk about the new flowers you got. I live right up stairs of the shop and I've been getting real bad allergies."
"Oh! I'm sorry about that, must be horrible," the employee said frowning just a little, "I think we may have a list around. Do you know what flower you're allergic to?"
"No," was all Daichi said before sneezing yet again.
The guy furrowed his eyebrows in sympathy, "Well that makes it slightly harder. I wish I could be more help but I only have the list of the new flowers we got," he answered.
"If it's not much trouble may I take a look at the list-" he stared at the guy's name tag, "-Sugawara?"
"Sure," Sugawara replied heading to the front desk which was covered with small plants and flowers. Daichi followed behind trying to substain a sneeze but failing and sneezing once again. "Bless you, here is the list. It's a little long but it's better than nothing."
Daichi checked the list surprised to see so many flowers and plants on the list he never heard of there had to be at least fifteen, after looking at the list Nishinoya finally made his apparence, "You know what? Give me a bouquet of one of these flowers everyday."
"Everyday? I know you don't have that much money," Nishinoya said raising an eyebrow.
"I have a credit card," Daichi responded digging into his pocket and showing a very familiar credit card.
Nishinoya gasped before grinning ear to ear, "You didn't!"
Daichi smiled innocently, "Why yes I did. He'll consider this pay back," Daichi gave Sugawara his credit card pointing at the first flower on the list.
"Kuroo will cancel the credit card if you waste so much money."
"No he won't. I know him he probably already noticed I'm using his credit card and so far he hasn't cancelled it," Daichi shrugged turning his attention back to Sugawara. "I'd like a bouquet of Anemones please."
"Uh, sure thing. Would you like the bouquet to go with anything else? Any side flowers?" Sugawara asked
"No just Anemones."
"Okay, since you haven't ordered anything from this shop before your first flowers come with a free small card, would you like anything on the card?"
Yeah, your number. "Maybe something like, congratulations? But in English make it all fancy and stuff."
Sugawara gave a small laugh, "Alright, you want a bouquet everyday of the new flowers right? Would you like us to bring the bouquet to you or would you like to pick them up?"
"I'll pick them up," Daichi decided, he handed Sugawara Kuroo's credit card before sneezing.
"Okay, that'll be eleven dollars, and what's your name? Bless you again."
"Daichi Sawamura," he answered as Sugawara swipped the credit card and repeating Daichi's name to himself. Daichi liked the way his name rolled out of Sugawara's tongue.
After that he signed his name on a reciept. Sugawara gave another warm smile that made Daichi want to die inside. He watched Sugawara disappear getting Daichi's bouquet ready.
The last thing Sugawara said to Daichi was "Come back soon!" while Daichi and Nishinoya exited Karasuno's Garden. Daichi felt like literal shit sneezing a good-bye to the cute employee.
