It was a usual day, Yuuri was working as per usual at the ice skating rink. He worked part-time at the ice skating rentals and today was actually Yuuri's mother's birthday! He had just received his paycheck on a short work hour day. He's been eyeing a new flower shop that isn't very far from the rink. "Why don't I buy her a couple of flowers?" Yuuri thought while planning to walk over there.

When he came up to the outdoor shop, a man who seemed slightly older than him approached with a cute working apron stained with a bit of here and there. It had the shop name printed on there and a name plate that says "Viktor." The man named Viktor's eyes seemed as if they were sparkling. Before Yuuri could speak, he found Viktor standing in front of him, holding out a bouquet of white flowers with purple speckles.

"They're orchids, they describe something that is delicate and beautiful. I was looking for someone to give this to, as to show my appreciation to anything beautiful." His interest is so piqued on the flowers so it's surprising when he turns his attention to Yuuri again. He hands the small bouquet to Yuuri leaving him speechless.

"So, do you have any specific flowers you want? Oh, you can keep those flowers. They are for you of course." He says while giving a smile.

"O-oh um, I'm looking for some flowers for my mother's birthday," Yuuri says quietly, embarrassed that Viktor meant he thought he was delicate and beautiful.

"How about some pink carnations? They mean gratitude towards someone you love." Viktor says while picking up a beautiful looking pair of flowers that are a pastel hue.

"T-They look perfect! How much are they?" Yuuri asks, mesmerized by the absolute beauty of the flowers and slightly blushing.

"They cost nothing." He replies.

Yuuri suddenly looks up at Viktor, "Nothing? Nothing at all..?"

"Well, I could have you do something for these." He looks down at the flowers and talks again. "How about if you come here daily or often to see me? You don't even need to buy any flowers, just come visit me! You work over at that ice skating rink, don't you?"

"Yeah, I-I could do that for those flowers. I'm Yuuri...I-I mean Katsuki Yuuri but you could call me Yuuri if you want to." He mumbled those last words but Viktor still heard him.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then Yuuri." He handed Yuuri a slip of paper with his number on it, then gave him the pink carnations.

"Look up the meaning behind this one!" Viktor finally said and gave Yuuri a single, radiant yellow tulip. They both waved a goodbye and Yuuri walked away to his car, blushing like a madman.
