If You Love Me So - ShigaDabi

The Little Boy - part 2

(art by Bella🌟Noche!)

After some time Shiagarki finally arrived.

He left his home in a hurry because he was late for work. Shigaraki owns a flower shop in Japan.

You may be wondering...why flowers? Shigaraki doesn't look like the type to like flowers.

Shigaraki had always loved flowers, the aroma, the soft petals. He could smell them or see them and completely forget about everything going wrong for him.

Shigaraki unlocked and opened the door to his small shop, the little bell at the top ringing it's beautiful melody as he opened it.
The sound was music to Shigaraki's ears.

He let the door close behind him and opened the curtains that hung over two huge windows on either side of the front door.

He turned to see pure beauty..The rays from the sunrise were flooding through the sunroof of the store onto the many beautiful plants and vines that were placed on various shelves. The sight made Shigaraki smile every time.

"I should water the soil." Shigaraki thought before taking everything out of his hoodie pocket then taking his hoodie off, placing all of them down on the counter where a cash register was.

He grabbed the squirt bottle he always used and began spraying the soil of the plants being grown. Shigaraki would do this every morning to make sure the soil gets water but the petals don't so they don't burn from the sun. This also helped him pass time since only a few people came in the mornings.

The blue haired man made his way behind the counter and sat on a stool closing his eyes as he taped his finger.

After a few minutes he heard the door open..But when he opened his eyes nobody was there, he stood up and looked around to see a little boy stuffing flowers into his pockets.

"That's not very good for the flowers." Shigaraki said.

The boy looked up quickly at Tomura, who had sat back down on his stool and was watching the boy with his hand on his cheek.

"Um, uh..I'm taking these! You better not call the police!" The boy yelled. "Children are such a headache." Tomura thought to himself.

"Sorry kid, but things don't come cheap." The scrawny man said getting up. He walked to the boy and crouched in front of him.

"I need you to pay for those. Or you can give the flowers back and leave." Shigaraki said putting his hand out waiting for either the flowers or money.

"H-How much..?" The boy asked.
"For how much you grabbed...10 bucks." Tomura said.

He watched as the boy pulled a couple coins out of the pockets of his jean shorts.

"How much can this get me?" The boy asked.
"Like, a petal?" Tomura replied.

The boy paused before bursting into tears. The boy tried to wipe the tears, but they just kept coming. It startled Shigaraki, he had no clue what to do.

"Why the hell are you crying!? Why do you need flowers anyway?!" Tomura asked loudly.

"I-I was gonna give them to my mom! I can't find any growing in the ground!" The boy said, choking back tears. Shigaraki looked at the boy with a "really?" look.

"You're crying cause you can't get your mom flowers?" Shigaraki said with a pissed off look as he rubbed his forehead.

"Momma cries all the time!" Shigaraki's eyebrows furrowed.

"What?" Shigaraki asked as he let his hand drop to his side.

"Dada hates momma because she had me." The boy cried.
"I-I wanted to make her happy..."

Shigaraki laid his hand on the boys shoulder.
"You can have a bouquet for free.." Shigaraki said.

The boy gave Shigaraki a huge smile.

"Really!?" The boy asked, wiping away the tears that had finally stopped falling.
The blue haired man gave him a small smile and a nod.

"Go pick whatever flowers you would like." He said before standing up.

The boy picked Irises, a beautiful purple flower, also known as the flower of royalty.

The boy said that they were his mother's favorite and that his father, or as the child said "first dada", would always get them for her..Which made Tomura think...How could the boy talk about his dad without crying...He guessed that the boy's real dad either left or passes away. It seemed he passed since the father seemed to love his mother too much to leave her.

Tomura tied the bouquet and handed it to the boy.

"Tell your mother I said hello." Shigaraki said.
"Tell her I also said to try and find someone better than your step father." Shigaraki said with a soft smile, the boy gave Tomura a smile and went on his way.

Tomura came to a conclusion. The boys real father had passed. The mother moved on to the boys now step father. The step father probably hurts the mother because the boy is not his. Another possibility was the boy was lying and he gave him a free bouquet for nothing.  That was just his guess anyway it was none of his business...Shigaraki looked at the blue sky through the sunroof with a smile.

He couldn't help but think the boy reminded him of himself.
