Ares: Never Grow Up
Flower shops.

POV: Ares

"So you like ... Civilian?" ask me with a slightly hesitant tone. As I looked at Ken's timidly nodding face, a tinge of red started to slowly appear on both of his cheeks.

"All right! Let's go to the flower shop!" I said in the end. I dragged Ken's hand with passion, I really want to help his romance story!

"Wait-Ares! Do you know where the flower shop is?" asked Ken on the sidelines we ran. I stopped suddenly and looked at Ken.

"Ehe, don't know. It's okay, let's just ask people," I said in the end. I'm still dragging Ken out of this hospital. Lucky because there are not many people, so we can move freely.

"Well, let's ask the kid who played ball there!" I said as I pointed towards the field beside this hospital. I immediately let go of my handrails and Ken, then walked towards them.

"Excuse me, do you know where the florist is?" ask them. Suddenly the group of children stopped playing and looked at me simultaneously.

"Flower shop? It's in the corner there! You stay straight and you'll smell the flowers!" said one of the boys with brunette like thorns. We nodded slowly and then turned around.

"Oh! Thanks!" I said before I left. After that we immediately went off the field, and started walking in the direction that the boys were referring to.

We walked for a long time, until we finally reached the store they meant. Sure enough, the smell of flowers here is very strong and pungent. This makes the store easy to recognize and remember.

But strangely enough, there was no one to guard the flowers here.

"Where are the guards?" many confusions. Ken has started to look around for a good flower. I just smiled a little looking at my friend who was serious about choosing flowers.

So while waiting for the owner of this store to come, we busy ourselves with looking for beautiful flowers to be given to Ken's heart.

"Oh? I'm sorry, have you guys been here a long time?" A little girl with glasses with braids two hair came at us. She wears a green short-sleeved shirt and a long brown skirt. Clothes that really depict a florist.

"Not really," I said while looking at him. Ken immediately came to us and joined us.

"So, are there any flowers you're looking for?" ask the girl with a sweet smile. I glanced at Ken, but Ken was also glancing at me.

"What flowers do you want?" ask her.

"I'm also confused, can you tell her to give us a flower recommendation?" whispered Ken to me. I breathed a tired sigh, but in the end I kept doing it.

"Um, can you recommend a nice flower for a first date?" ask the girl. The girl looked at me in surprise, then immediately chuckled.

"Can, then let me choose the flowers. We start from the most basic, yes" said the girl as she walked to a row of red roses. He began picking the rose and its stem, and keeping it in a basket he had no idea where he was carrying it.

"You know what roses mean, right? It means that 'I love you' may sound simple. But for a first date, this can bring a romantic atmosphere and give a pretty mysterious impression to our partner" he explained while picking other red roses. After that he walked again, to a small yellow flower garden.

He stood up and walked again, to a row of tiny, white flowers.

"And for the last flower, it's called the baby breath. This is suitable to be used as the edge of a bouquet of flowers because the model is small, and has a good meaning. It means 'true love will never go', I see," explained the girl with a bright smile. He took a few wide stalks from the flower and put them in a basket.

"Ah sorry, I seem to be talking too much huh?" ask the girl with a panicked expression. Me and Ken shook their heads, the girl's explanation was so short and easy to understand.

"We're really grateful that you explained it to us, and the flowers you chose are truly beautiful!" praise me to the glasses girl. He smiled widely, then gave a bouquet of flowers from what he had picked up earlier.

"Well take it, after all the currency is not working here, even for food we do not need to buy. So this is free for you guys" said the girl, giving Ken her bouquet of flowers. She accepted the bouquet hesitantly, especially when the girl told her not to pay for it.

"It's free? I'm not comfortable ... Can you ask us for something?" ken said with an unpleasant expression. I'm actually not comfortable with having to take it for free.

"Ah, that's okay! You can bring it for free!" The girl shook her head and refused to be given anything in return.

"really? Please miss, we are not comfortable if we have to accept it for free," I said, trying to get the girl to ask us for something in return. But he still insisted on not accepting anything.

"Well ... Then can you bring me the flowers up there?" ask the girl while pointing at the flower from the mango fruit. Ken and I were immediately confused, that not even beautiful flower .. Why would this girl want it?

"Well, I'll get it" I said as I walked towards the mango tree next to the flower shop.

"Then I go first, Ares? You just go back to the hospital later!" ken said and walked away. I was too shocked to say anything. Finally I just sighed in annoyance and flew straight away.

It was fortunate that the flowers were not too high, so I could reach them easily!

Ctas!

"Finally it can," I said relieved. After that I immediately went down and gave the mango tree flowers to him. He smiled and thanked me.

"Thank you! You are very helpful!" he said with respect. I just smiled clumsyly and tried to keep him from lowering his head.

"Then I go first. Thank you for your help," I said and turned my back.

..."Then one piece of advice for you. Don't believe what you're seeing right now."...

TBC.
