Asahi loves working at the local flower shop... He feels that it is the best fit for him... For someone that is shy, and easily scared. After all, the flowers help him feel calm and safe... With their beautiful appearance and sweet smell.

Humming along to one of his favorite songs, Asahi spends a majority of his day making corsages. The process required to do so is somewhat lengthy and complicated it, yet it calms him... The act of focusing on the flowers and gently combining them together calms him.

But it also makes him sad. When he was in high school, he never went to prom... With his height, and often described as "criminal-like" appearance Asahi was never able to find someone to go with... Sure he could have gone with his friends Suga and Daichi, but then he would have been a third wheel. It would have been fun, but awkward... With a small sigh he finishes the twentieth corsage that he started to make, stands and stretches. It is only two in the afternoon but it may as well be late into the evening... With Valentine's Day long gone, and prom season not until next month, there are few customers that enter... There are few customers to serve.

Asahi is just about to leave when he hears it... The ringing of the bell above the door. Slowly turning to look at who entered, Asahi isn't surprised to see one of his regular customers, Nishinoya Yuu. Nishinoya, who works as a wedding planner frequently buys large amounts of bouquet's from the shop.

"Asahi-san," the short male yells, "Good afternoon!"

"Good afternoon," Asahi responds with a smile, "How many bouquets do you need this time?"

"I u-um," Noya stammers, with a slight blush upon his cheeks, "do y-you umm w-want to go on a d-date sometime?" Asahi knows that it is mean to find enjoyment in someone else's pain but he can't help but find Noya incredibly cute... Especially since his blush is getting darker with each passing second.

"Sure."

"So you're telling me," Asahi says, unable to believe Noya's claim, "that you aren't a wedding planner, and you bought all of those flowers as an excuse to see me?"

"Yes," Noya says, soon afterward emitting a nervous laugh. "It was dumb of me, wasn't it?"

"Yes, b-but," Asahi begins to stammer as he gets embarrassed by his own words, "really cute."

/This was inspired by a daisuga fic on AO3 in which Daichi would buy flowers for the "birthdays" of various family members as an excuse to talk to Suga/
