Another Remy ship hitting the number one! I got number one in the Remile tag so here we go!
STORYTIME!
Remy hummed to themself as they cleaned out one of the reusable straws they kept in store. Everything that they have is now reusable. The owners of this shop, Remy's adoptive older brother Patton and his boyfriend Virgil, want to save the turtles and the trees alike they went with this. Remy has skipped two years before going to college because they need money, however there was another reason too. That reason was going to walk in through the door any second now...
There they are! That's Emm/Emile/Emily. Remy doesn't know what name because they can't see the colored flower they tucked behind their ear today. An orange flower means it's a masculine day, a pink flower means it's a feminine day, and a green or yellow flower means it's a neutral day. Remy stopped whatever they were doing and tapped their coworker on the shoulder. Let's name her Cassie. She rolled her eyes and stepped back, knowing that this was Remy's favorite person. Upon seeing his face and the orange flower tucked behind his ear, Remy can confirm that this was Emile.
"Hello you handsome hunk of a man~ Let me guess: skinny vanilla bean cremé and a blueberry bagel toasted extra cream cheese?"
"Oh my goodness you're so sweet! You actually remembered everything word for word this time! You also remembered the flower rule I told you about last Tuesday. You really are amazing with your memory! Ha ha... Yeah, that's my order. Thank you so much Remy!"
He smiled warmly, shining brighter than sunshine. He was so amazing, Remy couldn't help but feel their heart warm up. Last Tuesday, three days ago, he came in from the flower shop just down the street with a pink flower in his hair. Well, on Tuesday he was her. He went by the name Emily and was a girl that day. When Remy asked about the flower he explained his gender fluidity and Remy was so glad they found someone like them. Remy told him that they were NonBinary and he showered them with love. Instantly he became their favorite person. He came in every day since then. Remy had that many days to memorize the order.
"Alright, Brother, I got it. ALl you need to pay is three fifty eight then you can go sit down and wait. I'll make sure I get it just right and real quick for you, okay?"
"Only three fifty eight? Okay! Umm, would you mind if I sit st the bar and talk to you again? I know you're kinda on a smaller crew today since there's only you and one other individual here. I wouldn't want to impose or drag you away from your work and get you in trouble."
"Don't worry, Emile, relax babes. Cassie got this. She ain't gonna care at all if I stand by and talk to you. You're worth it. Now let me go ahead and make your drink, okay sweetness?"
Remy laughed as the beautiful man's cheeks filled with a Honeyglow. He was absolutely adorable. Remy took the five dollar bill and gave him back his change, which he turned and just placed it in the top jar. He walked over to the park connected to the counter of where the baristas make drinks. Cassie rolled her eyes and held up her hand, giving her favorite NonBinary pal a high five for their work. Cassie knows that Remy has a huge crush on Emile. She's seen the flirting. Either Emile's extremely oblivious or he knows that Remy is flirting with him and just wants to take things slow. Or he's taken. Remy really hoped he wasn't taken.
Remy took the cold drink and warm bagel and brought it over to Emile, who had a new flower in his hand. OwO? What's dis? Remy smiled as they noticed how there were two stems in his hand, blooms of two different colored violets twirling in his fingers. Seriously, where the hell did those come from?! Remy watched as Emile noticed that they were leaning over the counter, staring at at the flowers with a neutral, soft expression. He giggled and then lifted them up so Remy could see the two. One purple and one white. Emile worked at a flower shop, so these had to have meanings right? Remy was all ears.
"So, are you going to tell me what those flowers mean?"
"Of course! Just, uh, lean a bit forward for me please. Thank you! Now, this purple violet on your right ear isn't symbolic of spiritual fulfillment. You have found a place in life where you out can be healthy and spiritually healthy. You have sought and found the meaning of your life and that makes you happy. The second one I'm putting behind your left ear is the white one. It symbolizes innocence and sweetness. You've been nothing but kind to me and even behind your sort of, forgive me if I offend you, sassy-punk aesthetic you still have an innocence behind you. It's that spark in your eyes and the way you smile when I see you. I, uh, picked this super special just for you!"
Oh my gosh he was too precious for this world. He beamed smiles and Remt fixed their posture. They would say they stood up straight but clearly they couldn't. Just read their pronouns. They felt under their ears where the flower blooms drooped down. They let a wide smile cover their face. Never once in their life did someone describe them as the innocent type, not would say they had anything to do with spirituality. It's just they're going to hell for all the wrong reasons. Is there a right reason for going to hell? Yeah. Justified Revenge and being Gay. The only two good reasons for going to hell. Change my mind.
"You picked these just for me?"
"Well yeah! You're really cute and I really like how nice you are to me and how we 'spill tea' whenever I came to visit these last few days. I knew roses were too forward of a gesture and I didn't want to confuse you with lesser known flowers so I thought violets would be a good choice. I thought since both white and purple were colors on your pride flag and you clearly love purple based on what you wear I thought you'd like it."
"Emile... I love it. I absolutely adore it, babes. If we're spilling tea on ourselves... then I will be completely honest in saying I have a huge crush on you. Like seriously, my face is probably so red now It would put Cassie's monstrosity of a hair dye color to shame. I really appreciate the flowers and I don't think they're going to come out for the rest of the day. If you're interested, I don't have any shifts tomorrow. Even if I do, I'm sure someone will pick them up for me. Maybe we can have our little two o'clock meeting st your flower shop this time?"
"Really? Uh, yeah. I'd like that."
The two hopeless queers smiled at eachother, making goo goo eyes over the counter. Cassie rang up a customer who asked if they were dating. She smirked and told the old gentleman that they weren't... yet. The old guy laughed and she went to make the drink, noticng Patton, the manager, standing in the doorway leading to the back of the shop where the supplies were at. He had his arms crossed leaning on the doorframe, but he was smiling a fond smile. Remt finally did it, didn't he?
He found his favorite person.

I'm really sorry guys for not updating. I spent the time I had of the day to myself (not in school) making others feel better via online. I think that was more important than the oneshot.
Also tomorrow i might not update. I'm busy all day. I'm sorry.
Advice? Just be a good person. Just stay yourself. :)
Internet hugs and blow kisses!
