Being David's best man is far more involved than his one prior experience being a best man would have led him to believe. At Neil's wedding, Derek helped set up the catering, paid for it all as a gift, and then just kind of showed up and stood there. With David, this is not the case. With David, Derek is putting in work.
That's fine, though. He doesn't mind. He and David get along well, and even though David can be quite, well, fussy, he also seems to accept when Derek is not in the mood to socialize. Perhaps David is intuitive to his moods, or maybe the sharp teeth help. Either way, it works.
The thing is, David didn't even ask Derek for help with the flowers. He had just overhead David talking about how expensive they were and offered his assistance. Derek is a restaraunter (wow, that sounds douchey) who takes the quality of his ingredients very seriously, so he's often found down at the produce and fish markets down by the docks. He happens to know that there is also a section where people sell flowers wholesale, so he offered to take David down there and see if they could work something out.
So, that's why Derek is climbing the stairs to David and Patrick's apartment while shooting David a text to let him know that he's here. Honestly, he'd been a little surprised at how readily David agreed to the early hour, because he'd been expecting some complaints. Maybe he's just very serious about these flowers.
After a few moments of standing out front and not getting a response on his phone, Derek lifts his hand to on the door.
