Another day, another day without a date.

Julian stood at the center of a warzone of flower petals, cut stems, and tangled ribbons. His grandma's flower shop, 'Hearts and Roses', was busier than ever.

Valentine's Day was a week away, and Julian had no idea what he was going to do. His days were swallowed by twelve-hour shifts of bouquet arrangements, soil, and pollen. He'd been so overwhelmed that he's been dreaming of aprons stained in floral remains and paper cuts from perfumed love notes.

Romance is supposed to be magical, right?

At least, that's what he thought. But what's the point of love if you can't even go out and find it?

Cue the jingle of the bell over the front door. Julian was sighing over his latest masterpiece: a heart-shaped arrangement that was supposed to scream 'passion' but just looked... flat.

He did the same thing as he always did, stand tall, turn to the person who just entered the shop, and smile.

His mouth opened to say the magic words of 'welcome in' but they got stuck in his throat.

His eyes dilated. His cheeks flushed. His jaw went slightly slack. And the baby's breath in his hand? Well, that slipped right out of his fingers and landed straight on the table.

Holy shit, he's gorgeous.

Julian saw him for the first time ever and now, for the sixth time since last Christmas, he fell in love at first sight.

He cleared his throat, and tried to think of something witty. Something to charm and impress him. Hopefully enough for this handsome stranger to fall in love with him just as quickly as Julian did for him.

Shit, he's coming closer. Oh man, he's so pretty! What do I say? What do I do!?

He walked up to the counter, ready to place an order.

"You're beautiful. Will you marry me?" he blurted out.

Shit, shit, shit. Did I just say 'MARRY ME'!? No wonder I'm still single.

"I-I mean, uh, sorry..." He started to fidget. "That was a slip of the tongue. What I mean to say is... Hi, I'm Julian."

His face started to get redder and redder as his brain shorted out.

"C-Can I get your name, number, and a d-date?" Julian stammered.

Shit, that's not how you ask someone out! That's what you need for a new order!

Oh God. I'm crying... He didn't even place one yet...

Yep. This is why I'm single.
