AN: my account has been so dead this
weekend, but I hope you all know that
I love you !! And you matter !!

Hell.

That is the only way I could possibly describe working at my towns local and only crystal shop

It was a collection of issues, the Karen's, the manual labor, my crippling anxiety... an array of inconveniences that made me wonder if the decent pay was really worth it

"Excuse me?"
I pushed my hands through my hair, a hair tie still laced in my fingers as I turn to respond to whoever had interrupted my overthinking

"Hello, do you need help?"
I quickly looked up, my eyes meeting a pair of teal ones, the sight making my heart nearly skip a beat. A boy stood in front of me, a look of confusion on his face

I watched as his eyes searched the store almost as if he was unsure of what to say, his cheeks becoming a soft pink as he finally looked back down

"I'm kinda new to all of this, but I wanna find some type of crystal ... I'm just not sure where I should start"
He gave me a sheepish smile as he finished speaking, his cheeks and ears turning a darker shade of pink with every passing second

The store was basically empty aside from him and another one of my usuals, the soft sound of my playlist could be heard over the speakers as I nodded to him before beginning to walk over to the main area of the store

"Well lucky for you, I'm basically a pro when it comes to crystals"
I gave him a playful wink and he returned a smile, his nose scrunching cutely as he did

"I'm y/n"
I extended my hand to him, his fingers interlocking with mine a few seconds after
"I'm Karl"

"alright Karl, what type of energy are you looking for?"

"Well that's what I'm not sure of ... something positive.. maybe something that'll encourage creativity?"

I couldn't help but stare as he spoke, his demeanor seemed so kind, I didn't even know this boy, but something about him made me want to know him. I wanted to know every little thing about him

Finally pulling my eyes away from him I began to reach across the table, my finger latching onto a smooth orange stone, then moving to another before dropping them into his hand

"This is citrine, it's main focus is happiness and creativity... and this is tiger eye, it's good for positivity and stuff like that"

I could almost feel his stare, the boys eyes glowing with curiosity and a childish excitement as he ran his fingers over the grooves of the stone, a smile mindlessly curing onto his lips
