Luke was bored out of his mind. Sure, he loved working at the record store but they truly didn't get much business. As Luke pulled out his phone to check twitter or something to pass the next hour, he heard the door open. He turned to face the door and was met with a brilliant sight, immediately opening up his text messages

Luke: CODE FUCKING RED.

Cal: The hell is code red again

Luke: ur useless w ow it means hot guy

Cal: well damn sorry how hot is hot asshat

Luke was torn from the screen as he heard a small clearing of someone's throat, that someone was the hot boy himself. Luke smiled brightly at the boy and received the same in return.

  'Can you help me find an album?' the small boy asked. 'Of course, that's what I'm here for' Luke chuckled slightly making the boy across from him blush, allowing Luke to fully take in the boy's appearance.

The boy was a bit shorter than Luke, had golden brown curly hair, a sweater hung loosely on his frame with skinny jeans, the most brilliant hazel eyes, and placed upon his curls was a daisy flower crown. He was breathtakingly beautiful. And he looked like the epitome of innocence.

Another throat clearing brought Luke out of his trance. "I swear I've looked for it! But I was wondering, could you help me find The 1975's album?" The boy looked immensely embarrassed which only made Luke think he was even more adorable. "Ah good choice, we should have it here, I remember stocking it." He said as he led the shorter boy to the proper section. "My god, I feel stupid. Thank you." he said shyly. Luke smiled "No, it's fine. Is that all you needed?" The shorter boy seemed in thought for a moment before saying "Um, this should be all." and smiled at the blonde.

  Luke then wandered over to the register so the boy could purchase the album. "Have you heard this?" the curly haired boy asked nodding to the album as he handed over the proper amount to pay. Luke nodded and smiled brightly "I love that record, hope you will too!" the shorter boy smiled and said a quiet thanks as he exited the store.

As Luke wandered home after closing up the shop (the curly haired boy being the only costumer) he wondered if he'd ever see the boy again. He unlocked the door to the apartment him and his best friend, Calum, shared and was immediately ambushed.

"TELL ME ABOUT CODE RED BOY" Calum yelled as he shoved Luke into the apartment. Luke sighed then chuckled at his best friend's actions. He and Calum took a seat on the couch as Luke began describing the boy he had met hours ago. By the end, Calum's jaw was practically on the floor.

  "Let me get this straight, He's drop dead gorgeous, has a great taste in music, and is practically your opposite? Damn can I have him?" Luke shook his head "I called code red, he's mine." Calum merely laughed "You don't even know his name, he's far from yours Luke" He said, only partially kidding. Luke smiled and called it a night (it was 10 PM but he had an early shift tomorrow on top of his usual schedule)

As Luke got ready in the morning, he did his best to look a bit nicer. His hair was quiffed up and gelled instead of being hidden by a beanie. He tried to look a bit more approachable incase the flower boy showed up again, but all his tattoos almost seemed to prohibit it. He had tattoos from his neck to his calves which he was a-okay with, he had gotten them in the first place, but he didn't know if that scared the boy away. He hoped it didn't because wow that boy was incredible and he wanted to know him better. He only put in 2 of his 6 piercings in (lip and nose.) He made a bit of an effort in his clothing for today, instead of barely clean jeans he went for freshly washed ones and a non wrinkled band shirt. As he looked himself over he decided he looked okay, which would have to do.
