The flower shop boy |JOSHLER|

15

Josh looks over at tyler after a while, tyler has fallen asleep on the couch. Josh smiles to himself. He pokes tyler a bit, tyler mumbles nonsense in his sleep. "Ty..?" Josh says quietly poking him again. "mm... What..?" Tyler mumbles sleepily. "Do you plan on staying the night..? I can carry you to bed..." Josh says quietly, blushing a bit. "where are you going to sleep..?" Tyler mumbles still sleepily. "The couch or the floor..?" Josh says.

Tyler looks at josh for some time. "Mno.. you can't sleep on the floor or the couch..." He mumbles. "What..? Why not..?" Josh asks. "sleep on bed..." Tyler mumbles. "You're going to sleep on the bed.." josh says. "you can sleep there too.." tyler mumbles sleepily. "are you sure..?" Josh asks looking at him. Tyler nods.

Josh blushes to himself and smiles a bit. He gets up and looks over at tyler who has fallen back asleep. He picks tyler up and brings him to his bedroom. Josh looks at Tyler's button up shirt, it can't be comfy, as much as josh would like to change Tyler into something more comfortable, he won't. But he does put a hoodie on tyler to make sure he's at least a bit more comfy.

Josh goes and gets changed in his bathroom and comes back to his bedroom. He lays down next to tyler and pulls the covers over them. Josh is so happy to be able to have tyler sleep next to him. Josh adores tyler for a few minutes before shutting his eyes and falling asleep.

Next morning

• Tylers POV •

Tyler wakes up feeling groggy, he knows he is going to be having one of those bad days today. He opens his eyes and looks around. 'this isn't my room..' he thinks to himself and sits up. He realizes that he's wearing a hoodie which he definitely was not wearing last night. He notices josh sleeping next to him and tyler blushes.

Did josh change his clothes? Why is josh sleeping next to him? Tyler looks down the hoodie and sighs in relief when he sees that josh didn't take his button up shirt off. 'i wish he was my boyfriend... He takes so good care of me..' tyler thinks to himself.

Tyler starts to panic, he wasn't supposed to fall for him! It was supposed to only be a small crush! Nothing else! "Morning ty.." a sleepy sounding josh says. Tyler jumps. "m-morning!" Tyler says. "Did i scare you..?" Josh asks, with his stupid sexy morning voice. "Y-yeah a bit.." tyler admits. "Sorry.." josh speaks. "i-its okay.. don't worry.." tyler says hoping josh would shut up, he doesn't want to fall for josh even more.

Josh sits up and looks at tyler. He yawns and smiles sleepily with messy hair. "Are you okay?" He says. 'HOW CAN HE BE SO HOT AND ADORABLE AT THE SAME TIME THIS ISNT FAIR!!!!' Tyler thinks to himself. "s-sure.." tyler mumbles. "what's wrong?" Josh asks his smile fading. "i guess I have overworked a bit or something.. it's nothing serious." tyler smiles a bit.

"you should take a day off then." Josh says. "i can't do that, who will take care of my flower shop?" Tyler asks. "i can water your plants and put up a sign that the shop is closed today." Josh says. "I don't know..." Tyler mumbles. "listen tyler, you deserve breaks too, you need to have mental health days every now and then. You need to put yourself first too sometimes." Josh says. "i guess you're right.." tyler can't argue with that. Josh is so smart. "I just don't want to be alone.." tyler continues. "i only have one client i need to tattoo today, i could reschedule that, so i could stay with you." Josh says smiling. "you don't have to do that.." tyler says. "i know, but i want to." Josh says and hugs tyler. "o-okay..." Tyler says and hugs back.

• Josh's POV •

"Let's go water your plants at the store and then come back, okay?" Josh asks and tyler nods a bit. They get up and they grab some breakfast. Once they've finished eating they go to their shops and while tyler waters his plants, josh reschedules the tattooing for his client.

Josh then writes a note 'Closed today, opening tomorrow at 8am' and tapes that to the door. Once he has locked the door he walks over to Tyler's shop. Josh writes a similar note for tyler and tapes that onto Tyler's door. "you know ty." Josh starts. "yeah..?" Tyler replies. "i could tattoo you today, if you'd want to of course." Josh says and smiles. "really..?" Tyler asks, looking a bit more happier than when he woke up. "yeah." Josh says, smiling. "I'd like that.." tyler says quietly. "Sweet, we can go to my shop once you're done watering the plants." Josh says grinning.

Tyler nods and finishes watering his plants. Josh grabs Tyler's hand and excitedly pulls him to his shop. "I think we should do the one on your chest first, the one with thin lines." Josh says and tyler once again nods.

Josh goes to the drawing board and draws the stencil. "alright tyler, i need you to take your shirt off." Josh says.

Tyler takes his shirt off, josh can feel his heart beat faster, Tyler's body is so pretty. Josh bites his lip unconsciously. "right... Let me place the stencil on." Josh says, trying to concentrate. Tyler nods and josh puts the stencil onto Tyler's chest. "go check if the placement is good in the mirror." Josh says.

"I like it." Tyler says after looking at himself through the mirror. "Perfect! Go lay down on the table, I'll just get some gloves and get my station ready." Josh smiles and goes to do that.

Twenty minutes later

"Does it hurt?" Josh asks. "Not really, no." Tyler says. "Good." Josh replies. "We're almost done." Josh says. "i can't wait!" Tyler exclaims. "Just the last finishing touches." Josh smiles and finishes the tattoo. "Alright, go take a look." Josh grins. "i love it! You're so talented!" Tyler says happily. "it's a bit swollen at the moment but it'll go down, I'll just cover it up with some saran wrap to protect it." Josh says.

Tyler walks back to josh and josh applies some creme on the tattoo before covering it up with saran wrap. "there you go." Josh smiles, blushing lightly. "Thank you josh." Tyler says, blushing as well. "No problem tyler." Josh smiles and starts cleaning up his tattooing kit.
