Y/n
Hello, is this the florist who gave me his number?

Uki
Hey cutie, yes this is hehe
You still remember about that meet-up, right?

Y/n
Yes, I do. I've asked my sister for permission and she allowed me to go.

Uki
You still ask for permission?
How old are you..

Y/n
I'm twenty-one ;;

Uki
Oh wow, I'm your senpai 🤭
I'm two years older

Y/n
Oh, really? Are you actually really twenty-three?

Uki
Aww, you're so cute!
Yes, I'm 23. Helped with the power of self-care 😌✨️

Y/n
Wow.. no wonder why you're irresistible.
I'm sorry! What I meant was no wonder why you're pretty and cute T^T

Uki
It's okay cutie, usually I get disgusted when others call me that but for you I'll make an exception hehe

Y/n
Oh.
Is there a reason why you don't like being called those things?

Uki
Hmm
I used to be liked by a lot of people back in college but I dropped out since a lot of guys were so pervy and touchy.
Yes I've flirted with multiple guys but then one day I just "found the one"
We dated for a while but after he finished college, he just poofed!

Y/n
I'm sorry you had to experience that, no one should be touched without consent.
If I may ask, what happened to your lover?

Uki
Don't know, don't care.
Well.. that's a lie, I do care but I don't  know where he's gone to because Fulgur usually tells me his whereabouts..

Y/n
Fulgur Ovid? My brother's literature junior!
I heard his parents reported he went missing.
I'm sorry, do you want to change the topic?

Uki
Yeah
It's okay though cutie, I don't mind it when it's you :)

Y/n
Oh well.. what should I wear for tomorrow?

Uki
Something casual please but not too casual
dykwim?

Y/n
Excuse me?

Uki
You know where you wear something that's comfortable that isn't too fancy yet isn't too casual?

Y/n
Yes, I knew what you meant but what does "dykwim" mean?

Uki
...
Oh you are just so adorable

"Uki, over here!" Y/n waved to the florist who wore a sweater. "You look.." he blushed, trailing off.

Uki fell in awe when he sees his expression. "Thank you, I know what you're going to say." He pinched the younger man's cheek. Although the florist was slightly shorter, Y/n could feel like he could be dominated by him at any time.

That's weird, why would I want to be dominated?

Y/n leaned away from the florists touch. "U-Um yeah, you're welcome. Shall we go in now?"

"Yes, we shall. Also stop being so formal." Uki rolled his eyes, chuckling as he goes in the café through the door Y/n had opened for him.

Y/n followed behind Uki like a lost puppy. "Are you overwhelmed?" Uki asked the quiet boy.

"N-No, I just never went to a café before. I grew up living hard with my older siblings."

"What does your siblings do?"

Before answering, Y/n looked at the barista who slammed his head with the door - he forgave him, he doesn't have the heart to hate anyone - looking at the two. "Should we.. get our drinks first?"

Uki looked over to Alban. "Nah, let's go sit and talk." He pulled Y/n to a very romantic setting.

Y/n looked around, the other people here are either couples nor friends. Their booths aren't that special like the one Uki had brought him to.

"He's my friend, he knows what I want." Uki smiled.

"W-What about me?"

"You're my friend too,"

"No, I meant.." Y/n sighed. "Nevermind."

Uki chuckled. "I got you a drink and some desserts too. I paid earlier."

Y/n blushed. "You didn't have to do that! I'll be more happy to pay you back!" He begins to rummage through his bag for his wallet.

Uki waved his hand in dismissal. "Nuh-uh, no need. You said that you grew up living a difficult life plus I don't mind paying for a cutie like you,"

"Oh.. okay," The brunette frowned.

"..you can pay me back later."

Y/n beamed in happiness. "Okay!" Noticing how loud and excited he was, he shuts his mouth. "Sorry," he whispered.

"About your siblings, do you grow up with them? What happened to your parents?" Uki leaned his chin on his palm, interested about the younger male.

"I live with my eldest twin brothers Ike and Eki, they're twenty-five, then my sister Ivy who's twenty-three. As you know, Ike is a famous author so he supports us by selling his books meanwhile Ivy with her fashion expertise."

"Oh? What about Eki?"

Y/n bit his lower lip, looking away. "He doesn't have an occupation, I heard he was imprisoned so my goal coming here was to visit him."

"Oh.. did you get a chance to?"

Y/n shook his head. "No, they said I can't meet him without the detective's permission." He crossed his arms pouting.

Uki smiled at his behaviour. "He's so cute!" He thought. "I'm guessing you grew up being close with Eki?"

"Nope, I'm much more closer with my sister." Y/n smiled. "She was sad I was born a male but comparing me from my brothers, she said I was much more lady-like which I am not!" He blushed.

Uki hummed. "Well, you're much cuter than I am so I guess she was right."

"U-Uki, please don't say things like that!" Y/n's face became much more redder than before.

"Haha! You're flustered, that's cute isn't it?" The violet florist teased.

Y/n covered his face with his hands. "Uki!"

‎‎

"It's nice seeing you laugh like that after a long time," Alban smiled, watching the pair from the counter. The drinks and desserts he prepared were already there but he didn't want to ruin the moment.

Watching Uki being so open with someone he just met made Alban proud of his friend. "Please treat him right," he hoped.
