Tattooed Flowers

by mia.s.hackmann

Tesla works at a flower shop and has a major crush on the owner of the new tattoo shop across from where he works. When his friend and co-worker tell him to go talk to him he finally goes to actually do it. Let's just say that the feeling is mutual when Nnoitra sees the shy blonde.

1. Chapter 1

I do not own any of the bleach characters, anime or movies! Only the story!

Nnoitra POV

Right now it's three in the afternoon and I just got done with my first customer, who I'm surprised to say was a little girl that looked to be no older than eight years old, she had bright pink hair and large brown eyes. What surprised me even more was that she didn't cry at all during the whole process and only gave me one of the brightest smiles I could have ever seen from any kid when it was over. She then ran right over to who I'm assuming is her guardian that brought her, a large man who was at least 6'6 with a scar across his right eye and long black hair that was sticking up in eleven spikes with bells on the ends. The larger man paid the right amount of money for the small but beautiful tattoo of a pink rose on the girl's upper arm and they left.

Tesla POV

As I finished an order made by a girl with bright orange hair that went all the way down her back named Orihime according to the card that my co-worker, Ulquiorra wrote for the person receiving the flowers I looked out the window once again at the new tattoo shop. I noticed the man who owned it was sitting at the desk inside (I'm assuming waiting for another customer).

flashback

He was tall and thin with pale skin and long black hair covering most of his face. He walked up to the empty shop and opened the door with his key and I knew he was the new owner. I was very intrigued with him, but I knew that I would be too scared to approach him without reason since he is so intimidating.

"If you're so interested in him you should go say hello to him, you've been staring at him since Tuesday and it's currently Friday." I heard Ulquiorra tell me which startles me out of my thoughts and causes me to turn to face him and give him an incredulous look. "I can't just walk over there and say hello to him, what would I even say after that?" Ulquiorra, who's completely unfazed by my tone of voice tells me that I should welcome him to the city and introduce myself while he was working on a simple bouquet order he got earlier from a man who was celebrating his wife's birthday with their kids. When he was done he placed the flowers down and pushed me out the side of the front desk, handed me a rose and told me to go. I was extremely nervous as soon as I walked out of the shop, but I knew Ulquiorra would never let me in until I did what he told me to do, so I just took a breath and walked across the street, opened the door of the tattoo shop Santa Teresa and walked in.
