Shinya watches blankly from behind the counter.

The florist down the street was outside watering the plants out in the front.

He sighs in thought, Shinya thought the guy was hot, way too hot and burly to be working at something so delicate and innocent like a flower shop, but he supposed it's what added to his attraction.

The man finishes up, and walks back into the polished shop, a big contrast to Shinya's tattoo parlor.

The bell chimes, and incomes Shinoa, bouncing energetically and she collapses in the tattooing station chair, "god I am so helplessly GAY!"

"I'm aware," Shinya responds, "but like, y'ain't special bitch because so am I."

"Oh? Who are you pining over this fine summer evening?" She asks.

Shinya only sighs again, looking back out the window for a brief moment, "no one."

Shinoa giggles, "whatever you say, Shinya."

.

"And- done! Just gotta clean it up and you'll be ready to go!" Shinya chirps, pulling away from the arm he was tattooing. He wipes the tattoo with a gauze pad, and as procedure, he cleans the tattoo again, then wrapping it up with a bandage.

The light brown haired girl exhales, "Jesus, I thought it would've hurt more!"

Shinya smiles, "I try to make the process as painless as I can, that's a very cute tattoo you picked out."

She grins, "thank you! I wanted to get something to celebrate my girlfriend and mine's anniversary, but I wasn't too sure if it would be too corny or if it wouldn't look nice..."

Shinya gives her a pitiful smile, "I hope everything works out between the two of you, you wouldn't believe how many couples I have come in to get rid of tattoos I've done for them, but negativity aside, it's very cute and I think she'll love it, and because this is a couple oriented tattoo, I have a tattoo cover-up option if you ever need it and you get a twenty dollar off option, just keep the receipt and bring it if you ever need to cover it."

She laughs, "thank you, I'll make sure to hold on to it, just in case." She pulls out her credit card. She hands it to him and he does the rest.

"Oh these rings are cute!" She says, looking at the display case below.

Shinya laughs, "never heard someone call punk gear 'cute'."

"Oh! It's just punk culture makes me think of my girlfriend and I find her very cute," she says nervously, "sorry, especially about going off about her!"

Shinya shakes his head, "it's all good, I find it endearing whenever people talk about their partners."

The girl nods her head, "I get it, as long as they're not being creepy about it."

Shinya nods in agreement, "here you go, thanks for commissioning me, have a good day miss!"

"You too!" She waves, walking off.

Shinya's smile fades as his phone rings, he pulls it out, answering the call before he goes off to clean his needles, "hello, Shinya Hiiragi speaking."

"Oooh~! How formal!" Shinoa says in her sing sing voice.

Shinya rolls his eyes, "oh it's just you, what do you want pipsqueak?"

"Uh, can you do me a favor? I'm stuck at school for the day but I ordered a bouquet of flowers for Mitsu and they need to be picked up before five," she says, "it's from the flower shop down the street, if the guy needs confirmation just call me, 'kay?"
