    Summary

    Nick’s a primary school teacher with a dependable routine, a cupboard full of mismatched mugs, and a tendency to carry the weight of other people’s feelings. He isn’t looking for anything new—definitely not a florist tucked between a laundromat and a textiles store, with sleepy cats in the window and soft music drifting through the door.
    But the shop is warm. Quiet. A little overgrown. And the boy behind the counter has ink on his skin, dimples that appear when he smiles, and a silence that says more than words could. Charlie doesn’t speak, not out loud- but he writes labels like they’re tiny poems and arranges flowers like they mean something, if you know how to look. Nick keeps finding reasons to go back. For the bouquets, sure. But also for the stillness. For the boy with the dandelion behind his ear.
    Nick doesn’t know what he’s looking for. But every time he sees Charlie, something about him lingers- like petals pressed between pages, like soft scent on fingers, like the way you carry someone in your thoughts long after they’ve gone.
    What are you supposed to do when someone makes you feel like spring is coming back, one petal at a time?

    Summary

    ”Great, I'll have her."

    It's spoken so confidently, you shoving him away is pure impulse, backing up until you hit a wall of books, now able to see all three of them at once. They're awfully intimidating when they're together like this. All of them are tall and wide with above average physiques. Attractive faces tell you of their arrogance and superiority. Worst of all, there is a cruel, sinister amusement in their eyes.

    You click your teeth but your confidence starts to fall.

    "I'm not some slave you can just 'have,'" you hiss, less bite than before. "This is not about anything other than our group project... Okay?" Your eyes shake, doubts slipping in, instincts finally waking up to tell you that you need to leave. Now. "I've been overwhelmed by the workload of 3 people because of you not doing your part. You should be fucking ashamed."

    🖤

    You pick a fight with the wrong men and find your confidence shattered as they make a game of violently humiliating you. In the aftermath, Gojo becomes a little bit obsessed with you.

    Summary

    What if I told you the world, we live in today started using true love as a filter?

    What if I told you that if you don’t marry someone by 25, you must die.

    What if I told you that the government started doing this crazy shit in order to control the population? So now we race against time to find our person in order to live longer? Fucked up, yeah?

    Summary

    Nick Nelson finds himself working in an office job he doesn't care about sitting next to the most beautiful man he's ever met - only thing is he's not sure why he's suddenly finding a man beautiful. There's a a journey of bi-sexual awakening for Nick and some old wounds throwing up insecurities for Charlie given Nick's slightly hot and cold behaviour while they work out who they are for each other.

    However there's quite a lot of flirting and pinning in there thrown in plus they help each other work out what they really want from life both in a relationship and in other aspects. For anyone who's ever been dissatisfied at work this might ring a few bells too!

    “Em, is that OK – do you reckon – to like leave our desks?”

     

    “We’re not at school Nick – no one’s going to tell on you.”

     

    Nick blushes a little and lets out a small, subdued laugh, “Oh, no, I suppose not – it's just being the new boy – trying to make a good impression I suppose.”

     

    “Come on new boy, I can take you round the back of the bike shed for a smoke later if you like too?” Charlie raises one eyebrow suggestively,

     

    “Oh, I em...”......
