consider:
– octy running a flower shop
– jed running a tattoo parlor across the street
– octy sending jed flowers without knowing that jed is 5000% allergic
– jed taking copious amounts of claritin b/c the flower guy’s cute
– octy sending messages in his flowers and jed 100% not understanding
– jed sending back a bouquet that means something like “leave me alone” or “im not interested” when actually he just really liked the colors
– octy not sending over any more bouquets
– jed, confused with this silence, walking over to the flower shop and being bombarded with pollen b/c oh shit he forgot to take his claritin shitshitshit
– “are you okay? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone have that strong of a reaction to”
– “no no no it’s fine I’m just…. allergic to flowers”
– “you… are?”
– “but I mean” snnnrrkkk “its fine I love em- specially those purple ones. what are they called? lilies? tulips? roses?”
– “…. you don’t know anything about flowers do you”
– three months later they have matching flower tattoos on the back of their wrists
– octy picked which flowers theyd have and why of course
– octy tries his best to convince jed that the flowers on his wrist mean “stupid dog” or “i am dumb”
– but jed knows what they really mean
– (he has google)
