100 Drabbles: 31. Flowers

He wasn’t much of a flower person. That much, she knew. Or at least thought she did.
So it was obvious he surprised her when he showed him a bouquet of daisies.

“H-happy birthday,” he stuttered, flushing.

Though surprised, she grinned. “Oh, thank you so much; I don’t know what to say. But…”

“D-do you not like daisies?” he asked, horrified.

“N-no, I mean – ATCHOO!” She sneezed continuously, staggering away.

And immediately he tossed the bouquet away. “Why didn’t I see this; you’re allergic! Crap, I’m so sorry!”

“I-It’s alright,” she sniffled, smiling. “I already appreciate your thoughts very much.”
