"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."
-Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Yamaguchi Tadashi is one of these beautiful people, and Tsukishima never would have expected to meet someone like him who fit this exact description in a flower shop on Mother's Day when he forgot to get his mother a present.
A/N: My friend suggested I write a Tsukkiyama flower shop au, and it was gonna be a short thing, but instead it evolved into this. I hope you enjoy, and please leave a review bc I love hearing feedback from people! Just a note before you start though, just in case you have any sort of triggers because I don't want anyone reading this to end up hurt, there are mentions of suicide and self harm (though none of the actions are described, all are in the past) and some pretty extreme homophobia as well. Again, I hope you enjoy!
