Wilting flowers (Finn)

TW// this fic talks about abuse and manipulation and has a very manipulative character in it. If this will trigger you in any way, please don't read!! (If you need a more specific break down of what is talked about, just comment and I'll give the specifics!)

It was a slow day at the shop, normal for a Wednesday afternoon. Finn and Sunflower were cleaning up the place, Finn organizing inventory in the front while Sunflower was sweeping the floor in the back.

Ding!

The bell above the door rang, letting the occupance know someone had come in. Finn was at the register, so he couldn't see the person coming in.

"Welcome to Talk Floral! If you need any help just ask!" He chirped before turning to place a box down.

"Oh don't worry, I found what I came here for" the voice sent an icy chill down his spine.

Finn spun around, a panicked look on his face as he hoped his mind was playing tricks on him. But as he saw the figure stood in front of him, he felt his heart sink as his worst nightmare came true.

"What's wrong sweetheart? Surprised to see me?" Finn's ex said with a wicked grin.

"S-sam! What are- what are you doing here?" Finn stuttered out.

"Why, to take you back silly! I forgive you" that smile never left her face as she spoke.

"Forgive me?" Finn questioned her.

"Yeah! For saying all that means stuff to me," Sam faked a pout, "it really hurt my feelings, but after a while of thinking on it, I've decided to forgive you!"

"Sam I-I" Finn tried to speak but Sam cut him off.

"Oh you don't need to say anything Finn, you just need to say thank you!" Sam smiled again.

Finn just stood there in shock, he didn't know what to say to her. The last time he saw Sam was a few months ago, and it was when he had finally gotten enough courage to stand up for himself. It was really hard, and he was really scared, but he had done it and never looked back on it since.

Sam was emotionally and occasionally physically abusive to Finn. She made him feel like he was nothing, and that he would be better off dead without her. When he found the courage to leave her, it was tough. Even to this day he had thoughts that crowded his head that he wasn't good enough, that his dream of owning his flower shop were stupid. When he got those thoughts though, there was always one person who helped him get through them. one person who was always there to save him.

"Hey Finn! I was wondering what you wanted me to do with these..." Sunflower trailed off as they walked into front, seeing Finn and Sam.

"Oh, and who's this?" Sam's face was neutral as she looked at Sunflower, but her voice was full of venom.

"I think I should be asking you that" Sunflower held her gaze as they walked in front of Finn. "Hey baby, you ok?" Sunflower turned to Finn and whispered to him, getting a shake of his head as an answer.

"'Baby'? Finn darling, don't tell me you're cheating on me?" Sam gasped.

"N-no I'm not- we're not-" Finn tried to talk but his breathing was quickening and making it hard to talk.

"Finn baby," Sunflower's voice was soft and sweet, "Don't worry, I got this."

"Are you sure?" Finn asked his partner.

"Yes, don't worry love" Sunflower spoke softly to him, "I can handle this."

"So, Finn had the audacity to find someone else, and all he could find is this?" Sam laughed to herself as she looked Sunflower up and down, "really, it's pathetic."

"You're pathetic," Sunflower snapped at her, "now get out, you're not welcome in here."

"Oh? And why is that?" Sam continued her fake surprise.

"You know exactly why, you abusive bitch," Sunflower took a step forward before they were stopped by a hand on their wrist by Finn.

"Please Sam, just go" he pleaded softly.

"Oh is that it? I come to forgive you and take you back, out of the kindness of my own heart, and this is how I'm repayed?" Sam scoffed, "you've changed Finn, what happened to the sweet man I had fallen in love with?"

"Oh shut up," Sunflower sighed, "your manipulation doesn't work here, sorry sis."

Sam frowned before an idea hit her and she smiled wickedly. "Me? Manipulative? Is that what he's been telling you?"

"What are you getting at?" Sunflower asked her, Sam's smile widening as they fell into her trap.

"It wasn't me who manipulated him, but he was the one that hurt me!" She sighed, "he hit me and yelled at me. He called me all sorts of names before he left me in the dirt, all alone."

Finn's eyes widened as he went to defend himself. "What? N-no! I never did any of that!"

"Yes you did!" Sam sniffed, "you really think I could have hurt him? Look at how much bigger he is compared to me! I couldn't hurt him if I tried."

Sunflower just stood there for a moment as they took in the information before turning to face Finn.

"Sunflower you know me! I-I would never-" Finn tried to beg his partner but they only shushed him.

"I need you to go to the back for me please, I'll be there in a minute" Sunflower patted him on the cheek before turning back to Sam.

"O-ok..." Finn said before walking towards the back of the shop. Once he had left the main part of the store, he heard a loud scuffle come from the other two for a moment before the bell above the door rang, signaling it opening and then closing.

He heard nothing but silence for a bit before he heard footsteps come towards the door. Before he could get up from where he was sitting, Sunflower appeared in the doorway holding their jaw.

"Oh no! What happened?" Finn shot up from where he was sitting to go fret over Sunflower.

"Heh, you should see what she looks like," Sunflower laughed a bit to themself before uncovering their jaw so Finn could assess what to do to help.

The two then went silent as Finn got Sunflower a bag of ice for their jaw, before sitting next to them and checking them over for any other injuries they might have.

"You won't have to worry about her anymore, I dragged her out by her hair and told her if she came back I'd do much worse than just a broken nose and a black eye" Sunflower laughed to themselves but stopped when they saw the sad look on Finn's face. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"It's just... I'm surprised you believed me over her" Finn said softly as he looked at the ground, "how she said it, even I would have been convinced."

"Finn, honey, look at me" Sunflower said softly as they raised their empty hand to cup his jaw. "I know you. I know that you are the sweetest, kindest, most honest person I've ever met, and that you wouldn't hurt a soul. Of course I would believe you over her. I've been with you when you cried, when you had your panic attacks, when you had your nightmares. I know that she's a manipulative asshole, and that I shouldn't believe a thing she says."

Finn let out a long sigh of relief before letting himself melt into Sunflower's palm. "You're right, I shouldn't have been scared. You're always there for me, and I'm grateful for that."

"Of course," Sunflower smiled at him, "I love you."

"I love you too Sunflower," Finn smiled as well before leaning in for a soft and reassuring kiss.
