    Summary

    Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.

    He chose the worst one.

    “I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”

    The man went completely still.

    Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.

    “For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”

    -:-:-

    Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

    Summary

    Simon had seen hell and come out the other side choosing kindness and selflessness.

    Ryland Grace had seen hell and come out the other side willing to let everything burn to the ground around him.

    Simon looked at an angry, hurting man, and chose to pour his energy into fixing rather than harming.

    Ryland Grace looked at a kind, gentle man that understood his demons and held him anyway and let himself be cared for.

    Summary

    Ken is feeling lonely after losing the love of his life to "the real world," and isn't entirely sure who he wants to be without someone else beside him. It's a scary concept, and he finds himself lingering on any positive interaction he can get. Wilford is... well, no one really has the words for what he's feeling, but it's something fairly similar. No one knows as little or as much as he does, depending on the moment, and most people are tired of dealing with his shenanigans. He's bored. Until a flash of pink on a little plastic body catches his eye, and his chaotic touch accidentally brings it to life.

    Summary

    Once I’m within range, I start hearing those sounds Rocky was talking about, little groans and hitches of breath. He’s trying to keep himself quiet, I can tell, another bad habit of his.

    Wait, there’s something else, too, a sort of faint squelching? Well, he’s either very vigorously washing his hand - but, no, I don’t hear the water running - or he’s-

    Suddenly, I hear what is very clearly a moan from the other side of the door, even if muffled.

    Oh.

    Oh my god.

     

    Or when Rocky hears Simon making some concerning sounds in the Hail Mary’s bathroom, he sends Grace to go check on him, and the man is met with quite the surprise.

    Title from Do I Wanna Know? by Artic Monkeys (but I’m specifically thinking of the Hozier cover y’know?)
