    Summary

    “—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”

    Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.

    “Frank, why would we move in together?”

    “I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”

    “Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”

    At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”

    What.

     

    Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
    Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.

    Summary

    Mikotoba couldn’t tear his eyes away from those too-bitten lips. “In an old letter you once wrote me. I promised you a symphony, did I not?”

    “A symp—oh. Oh, that. Yes, yes, I—I do believe you did.” Sherlock swallowed, his lips parting and overripe, eyes ablaze. “Well then, old boy,” he smirked, “make me sing.

    After years apart, Mikotoba acts on an old fantasy

    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.
