Primrose Flowers - Byler
Pairing: Mike Wheeler x Will Byers
Warnings: In my defense, I have none
One day, Mike was walking past a flower store when he saw Will inside. He was working there, arranging bouquets and tending to the plants. Mike felt a sudden urge to go inside and say hello. As he walked in, the sweet scent of flowers filled his senses, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, Will," he said, trying to sound casual. "I didn't know you worked here."
Will looked up and smiled. "Yeah, I've been working here for a few months now. I love it. It's so peaceful and quiet."
Mike nodded, looking around at the colorful flowers and plants. "It's beautiful in here. You have a real talent for this."
Will blushed, feeling a surge of happiness. He had always loved flowers, and working at the flower store was a dream come true. But now that Mike was here, everything felt even more perfect.
As the days went by, Mike started visiting the flower store more often, just to see Will. They would chat about everything and anything, and Mike found himself falling more and more in love with Will with each passing day. He loved the way Will's eyes sparkled when he talked about his favorite flowers, and the way his hands moved gracefully as he arranged the bouquets, even handing one small bouquet of white primrose flowers to Mike.
Finally, one day, Mike mustered up the courage to ask Will out on a date. Will was surprised but thrilled. They went out to dinner and talked for hours, laughing and sharing stories. It felt like they had known each other forever.
From then on, Mike and Will were inseparable. They would often go on long walks, holding hands and admiring the flowers and trees around them. Mike loved the way Will would stop to smell every flower they passed and the way he would always know the name of each one.
Years went by, and Mike and Will remained as in love as ever. They even started their own flower shop, working together to create beautiful bouquets and arrangements for their customers. It was a perfect life, filled with love and happiness. And Will asked Mike a question. "Mike, do you remember when I gave you those white flowers when you started to visit the shop frequently?" He asked, hoping he would remember that small moment. "Yeah, of course, I remember that. Those flowers were beautiful." He recalled.
"But do you know what those flowers mean?" Will asked, looking at him. Mike shook his head. "It's kinda like an 'I can't live without you' type of thing." Mike gave him a soft smile, and pressed a kiss to his lips. "You know I can't live without you either."
And whenever Mike looked at Will, he knew that he had found his true love in the most unexpected of places – a flower store.
