requested? kinda (apart of a random pick series)
prompt? tattooist jeno x florist y/n
genre? this is some really cute fluff okay
a/n? this is my favorite cliche concept uwu
got a request ?? they go here !!
okay so let’s Break This Down
you (a financially unstable student who happens to love flowers)
at this cute, little flower shop!!
it’s run by this tiny old lady and she’s adorable!! big uwu
and lucky for you, she liked you as soon as you walked in to apply for the job
she also really needed someone to help her out with the shop
you fell into the swing of things pretty quickly
it was pretty easy because she, the grandma- actually wait
yknow what? we’re gonna call her ‘lil g’
it was pretty easy because lil g never really left the shop
since 1. she loves it there
2. she doesn’t really trust you yet
and 3. “my husband’s grumpy today anyway, he can wait”
her husbands always grumpy apparently
so she was able to practically train you all the time
any questions you have? lil g has the answers
you could swear she’s a genius
also maybe a psychic??? or witch
“hey lil g-” “if you call me that one more time y/n i’m firing you”
“,,,,,,,what do da-” “daisies symbolize innocence and purity”
“how did you know what i was gon-” “ask? because you’re standing in front of the daisies y/n. i’m not a witch.”
her stating that she’s not a witch only made you think she was a witch more but that’s not important yes it is
it took her lil g about a month to finally let you work there by yourself
i mean,,, that place is her baby
but you’re her baby too now uwu and that means she needs to trust you
even if it means chancing you burning down the flower shop
please don’t burn down the flower shop
you’ve been a little distracted this past month with everything going on
so to say you were a little shocked when a really pretty boy walked into the shop, pulled out a chair, and sat down for A WHOLE ENTIRE HOUR might be an understatement
but he looked kind of scary :( and the place was kind of busy :( so you couldn’t really find time to ??? kick him out ???
and when the shop finally slowed down and you could finally breathe you looked up and ??? the scary man was gone ???
which was actually pretty good because that means you wouldn’t have to pull that awkward “sorry sir but if you’re not gonna buy anything you’ll have to leave” thing on him
but you were also sort of freaked out
what can you say, cute boys scare you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also cute boys that don’t smile and glare at you instead and are just very intimidating over all
then the next day rolls around and lil g comes to check up on things
and she’s like “so, how were things yesterda-” only to have you cut her off with “oH MY GOD THANK GOD YOU’RE HERE IM SO SKFSKFKSDBNFJ”
she’s so ??? why are you yelling ?? and what does skfskfksdbnfj mean ??
and you’re just like “there was a man!! in here!! yesterday!!”
which confuses her even more because ?? what the fuck are you talking about
“he came in right and he just ??? sat down ?!?!? i didn’t even know we hAd chairs!!! and he stayed!! for like 17 hours!!!”
“okay 1. we’re not open for 17 hours and 2. that’s probably jeno”
cue your “who the fuck is jeno”
“oh he’s a sweetheart!! and a cutie!!”
because the man you didn’t encounter yesterday didn’t seem like either of those (plot twist: he is)
“i dont,,, think that,,, was him lil g”
“hmmm, was he wearing all black” “,,yes” “and did you get the urge to squish his cheeks” “,,,,,,,,,yes” “then that’s jeno!”
“,,tell me more,,, about this,, “jeno” man”
so jeno, the man, the myth, the legend himself, he works next door to you
at that tattoo parlor that you’ve been staring at everyday on your way to work for the past month
and apparently, he comes in everyday on his lunch break (around 12) to sketch the flowers
“he says he likes his tattoos to look real, but i think he’s just a softie who likes the smell of flowers” (lil g a whole psychic)
that’s kind of your “oh” moment
no wonder you haven’t seen him!!
during your training you were always in the back doing arrangements at 12!!!
and he usually buys the flower that he draws but :( it was really busy yesterday and Big Scary Man jeno lost track of time and couldn’t risk being late back to his job
he was also kind of annoyed that his favorite place was as busy as it was and not as quiet as it should’ve been (which may explain the more-angry-than-normal look)
also :( his favorite grandma wasn’t behind the counter!! and-
wait a minute, who are you!?!
apparently he hasn’t seen you either
lil g takes what she needed and leaves
but not before telling you that you’d look cute with jeno
because he glared at you yesterday when he came in >:(
so as 12 grows nearer, you get nervous because cute boy!!
but also kind of excited because cute boy!!
the days pretty slow and there’s not much business, so you make yourself busy in the back unloading all the new arrivals and whatever
who’s more than relieved to see his the flower shop empty
but?? where’s lil g?? or that cute girl from yesterday??
“uhm,,, hELLO??” indoor voice jeno please
all poor jeno can hear is a yelp and a crash
and this cute little shit YEETS his sketchbook onto his table and sprints into the back, hurdling the counter and everything
he pushes open the door only to see you, sitting on the floor, caked in dirt with pieces of vase sitting around you
which made his heart go BOOM because you looked really cute
especially in your a-little-too-big overalls and striped sweater with your pulled back in a french braid
how’d you even get dirt on your face wtf
but he’s too concerned about you to dwell on that
however, we all know he’ll be thinking about it all day that soft bitch
so he rushs to help you up and make sure you’re okay
cue frantic “oh my god are you okay are you hurt do you need to see a doctor do you need to go to the hospital oh my god what if you broke something i’m so sorr-”
and you’re just like ??? dude i’m fine
but what you’re really shocked about is how fast he got back there ??
“uhm,,, i heard a crash and,, i ran,,”
“oh haha thanks,, for worrying”
which, to be fair, he did assume it was lil g
but we’ll ignore that because this is cuter
he lets you go wash up a little while he sweeps the floor and cleans a little
which he insisted on doing so you wouldn’t get hurt by the broken pieces of the vases phat uwu
and when you come back out you’re kinda like
“oh okay i get why lil g loves you so much”
jeno’s heart go boom pt 2
but then he’s like “,,,who’s lil g”
and you’re !!!! “it’s my nickname for grandma,,, she told me to just call her grandma but i felt like i was cheating on my own grandma so yeah,,, now we’re here”
you’re so awkward sdjsksdnjkfn
you ! have ! a ! sudden ! realization !
“oh my god !! i totally forgot !! you’re here to sketch the flowers !!”
he’s like “,, oh yeah,, that is what. i’m here for,,, how did you know that,,”
“i asked lil g about you !! she told me !! but go ahead !! i’ll just be fixing up the counter and stuff :)) !!”
jeno’s heart is DYING he love you
so he sits down and realizes that he’s missed a lot of his drawing time
not that it really matters
if he tries to draw a flower now it won’t be good enough to use for reference so ?? what’s the point
when he looks up to contemplate what to do
looking all cute behind the counter and stuff
so, he decides to draw you
and your dumb little adorable face
that he probably shouldn’t like as much as he does
“you’ve known her for like 15 minutes jeno please calm down” -him, to himself
and oof !! time to go back to work :(
he goes to leave and contemplates whether he should say bye or not
only to have his thoughts interrupted by “bye jeno !! :D”
your wave is so cute his brain shuts down for a good 3 seconds
“bye y/n” accompanied by a cute little smile and a baby wave
it’s safe to say you and jeno get a little bit,,, closer
i mean you see him practically everyday ffs
and on the days you look a little too wonderful for him to handle
he draws you instead of the flowers
today happens to be one of those days
you, with your hair up in a messy bun, your shirt on backwards, and more dirt on your face
he thinks you look perfect
im sorry that was the cutest thing i’ve ever written my uwus
he sketches you, constantly erasing the lines he can’t get right
poor jeno doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to capture just how beautiful you are to him
he can’t exactly draw your personality too can he?
jeno, who’s a little too caught up in the portrait of you, misses it as his watch dings to signal that it’s 1:00
his break is over and it takes you forcefully yelling from across the shop that he’s gonna be late for him to break his trance
i don’t think you’ve ever seen him put on his coat that fast
with a loud push in of his chair and a quick “bye y/n!” he runs out the door
and as he’s sprinting back to the parlor, he can’t help but feel like,,, he forgot something 🤔 🤔
“i have my keys, my phone, i said bye to y/n, i have my sketchbook-”
but he’s late!! and he can’t go back to get it now-
because it’s tuesday at 1 p.m and the parlor is completely dead
all he needs is a couple seconds to run back and get it
guess who already saw it 🙃 🙃
you noticed the closed notebook on your way to tidy up his table
and days like these, aka days where he didn’t ask you what the flower he was drawing meant and when he didn’t buy said flower, always made you a little bit suspicious
because!! what is he even doing?!?!
and let’s just say curiosity got the best of you
you’re flipping through the notebook, silently cussing him out for being so talented and wonderful
god why is he good at everythin-
that door flew open SO FAST bitch
“w-wait y/n uh it’s uh not like,,, it’s not what you think”
“what do you think i think”
‘that,,, i’m some creep???”
BITCH YOU’RE SO WRONG LOL
“i think it’s absolutely positively wonderful and amazing and the best thing i’ve ever laid my eyes upon cute”
“c-cute,,?? i’m,,, not cute”
“however i have to disagree with that statement, i think you’re the cutest person the world’s ever seen”
“,,,obviously you’ve never looked in the mirror”
“or your notebook apparently”
