Trigger warnings: ask to tag

Reader pronouns: they/them

-Scout-

He's a little stunned at first and tries to hide the fact he's a wee bit flustered

Flowers? For him?? You went out of your way to get something for him???

He won't shut up about it and proceeds to brag to everyone that he got flowers from you

Expect to receive extra attention from him, he is now glued to you

He starts teasing you for loving him and getting all sappy

In reality he can't get over the fact that you got him something

If they're real flowers he will want to take care of them and keep them but he can barely take care of a plant and is afriad about killing them

If they're fake then he keeps them in a vase on his desk

He'll go out of his way to give you something in return

-Pyro-

Oh yay flowers!!! He is very happy over this!!

He'll give you one of his world famous hugs and carry you around the rest of the day if you allow him

He'll want to go and pick his own flowers for you and he'll make a flower crown for you to wear!

He's really happy that you got him flowers, flowers are on his list of his top ten favorite things!!

If they're real flowers he'll do his best to take care of them and water them and give them the best fertilizer

No need to worry, he wouldn't dare burn anything that you got him

You'll probably catch him just staring at the flowers in awe every now and then

-Soldier-

He's not used to soft and sweet stuff like getting or receiving flowers so he'll probably check if anyone else is around before pulling you in for a quick hug

He doesn't really know how to take care of plants but he'll make sure to put it somewhere his raccoons couldn't mess with it

He will want to get you something in return but he doesn't know what to get you

He'll probably give you something that means a lot to him, like one of his favorite buckets or such

He loves it more than he knows how to express

If anyone questions why he has flowers he will completely own the fact that you got him the flowers

-Demoman-

He's absolutely touched by it and can and will pepper you in kisses for it

He will tell you all the different little things he likes about the flower like the colors and the shape of the petals

If they're real flowers then he manages to keep them alive but isn't truly quite good with plants

He'll probabaly decorate the pot or vase that the flowers are in

He'd probably do that thing where if no one is around he'll sometimes talk to the plant

He's probably a little flustered when you first give him the flowers and he gets a little blushy over it

He will probably continue to thank you for the next day or so

-Heavy-

Heavy has never seen a lot of flowers since he was in Russia for a while and the base is in the middle of no where

He definitely makes sure to take the best care of the flowers that he can

Since the base isn't too lively in color it's rather nice to have something that stands out a little

When you gift him the flowers he makes sure to hold them as carefully as possible and makes sure to tell you how much he loves them and you

If anyone questions why he has dainty little flowers he might get a little embarrassed, but is prideful in the fact that you got them for him

He keeps a watering can right next to the flowers and gives it clean water on the daily

He isn't the best at first for taking care of the flowers since he's not used to plants, but he gets the hang of it pretty quickly

-Engineer-

He is truly flattered

He'll put the flowers in a vase and keep it on his desk where he does most of his work so he can see it whenever he'd like

He probably bought some ribbon and wrapped it around the vase like a bow

He knows what he's doin when it comes to taking care of flowers so they end up lasting for a long while

He will sometimes get a little distracted staring at the flowers that you got him

He'd probably want to get you something in return like a necklace or such that you can keep

Turns out Engi is a lowkey floral guy and he didn't realize this until you got him flowers

He's a little bashful about it but he makes sure that he properly thanks you for the gift

-Medic-

He is surprised at first that you would get him such a thing

He is a little speachless but once he finally finds his wording his pretty happy and promises to take good care of the flowers

He makes sure to keep them somewhere that his doves wouldn't try messing with them

He also creates some special flower juice to ensure that the flowers live for well..much longer than flowers normally should

He tests out the flower juice on other plants first because he doesn't want to mess up the ones that you got him

He likes the flowers and thinks they lighten up his room a little bit!

He has little time periods in his schedule where he makes sure to check on the flowers

-Sniper-

Flowers? For him? He's very bashful about it and definitely gets flustered

He tries to hide the fact that he's a little giddy about it

He almost immediately runs off with them to go and find a special place to set them and ends up putting the flowers right on his windowsill

He's very good at taking care of plants and the flowers are very much thriving

He likes to tell you and keep you updated on how well the flowers are doing

He also likes to talk to the flower in his free time, he believes it'll help it grow

He's extra delicate with the flowers, not wanting to hurt it or accidnelty tear a petal or leaf on it

-Spy-

He's very flattered by the romantic gesture

He shows his thanks by getting you somethin in return, perhaps a box of expensive chocolates or such

He gets only the highest quality of soil and special water for the flowers

He has a whole little area for the flowers with a nice vase and its resting in a doily

He doesn't trust anyone else (asides from you ofc) to take care of the flowers

He has an odd liking towards flowers so he really likes the gift

He'll probably give you extra kisses just because
