Ohm's POV

"You go on and get in your uniform. Put all of your other things in the office. I'll be tendin' them flowers up front. Oh, don't forget to grab that sheet in the office too!"

I nodded as my new boss, Mari, told me what to do. She was an older lady who used to run her shop with her family, but they moved away so she needed an extra pair of hands. Mari was quite small and a bit old so I was glad to help.

Today was my first day working in this small antique and flower shop. I had showed up early, as Mari wanted me to, so I was a bit tired. That didn't stop the excitement from building up inside of me like boiling water.

Walking into the bathroom, I examined my uniform. It was a simple white t-shirt with a light blue and white striped vest. The pants were very light grey. Honestly I really liked the outfit, which was nice because I didn't have to wear something I hated day after day. After quickly changing I put my clothes in the office like Mari said to. I almost left before remembering to grab the sheet Mari reminded me of. It was sitting on her desk so I picked it up and proceeded to go over to her.

"Oh good! It fits nicely on such a handsome young man!" Mari stated, patting my arm lightly.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome honey. Now here," She reached into her pocket, "I got your name tag made just last night. Didn't take too long actually! I expected somethin' to go wrong, but it was a piece of cake," She held it out and I grabbed it out of her hands.

I examined it for a minute. It was white with a blue border (matching my vest) with my name on it along with the company name above it. A pin was glued to the back so I attached the name tag to the left side of my chest. Mari grinned and pushed her glasses closer to her face.

"Well you can go and check price tags and make sure everything is in the right spot. The prices of the items are on that sheet of yours there. If you need somethin' come find me, got it?"

"Yes ma'am," I replied and smiled genuinely towards her.

"You got a girlfriend, honey?" Mari randomly asked.

Heat quickly rose to my cheeks, "N-no, I don't and I never will."

Mari raised her eyebrow at me, "Don't say that now! Everyone's got a chance to be with somebody else. Plus you're a fine young man!"

"No ma'am, that's not my point," I explained, "I'm gay."

Her eyes widened, "I'm sorry Ryan, I shouldn't have gone around assumin' things."

"It's fine, that's just a general assumption everyone has."

She patted my back and gave me a sweet smile, "Well I'm sure you'll find a perfect young man for you, honey. Now I best be tendin' to them here flowers some more. You go on and get started workin'."

"Yes ma'am."

"Mari is just fine honey, but you can call me ma'am if you like."

I blushed and nodded. I turned around, facing the isles of the store. It's a tiny little shop, but it's very peaceful. My eyes scanned the shelves before deciding to go over to the far left shelf and examine the items along with their tags. It was pretty obvious after awhile how things were organized. Only a few things were in the wrong spot and so far none of the prices were wrong.

Gentle music played throughout the shop as the minute flew by. The warm air heating and scented candles made a soothing aroma. Soft footsteps echoed on the thin walls of the store. Everything was peaceful and undisturbed. Most people would have thought the silence was eerie and think the place was haunted from a dim flickering lamp in the far corner of the store. In reality it was a cozy place that should be better known.
