This is a short one sorry, inspired by one of those person a and b stories on Instagram. The song has nothing to do with the story exactly, it was just the only one I had with Fuck You in it, and I have the cover that Sleeping With Sirens did because it's so much more awesome than the original.

Nico had opened the flower shop as usual. His little sister was supposed to do it today but she had slid five dollars under his door this morning. So he took the morning shift in their family flower shop. Nico didn't have anything against opening, or closing, or being in the shop at all. He quite liked the smell of flowers, he liked making bouquets, liked small talking with the customers and giving them advise. Many were surprised that he knew so much about flowers, every time someone saw him they thought the opposite of him. It may be because of all of his tattoos that covered both of his arms, and his neck. Or it could also be the piercings he had in his lip and eyebrow.

The day had been normal, some people came in to buy roses for their loved ones' birthdays, some bought lilies, or orchids, some ordered flower arrangements for funerals.

Nico had had a half hour lunch before going back to stand behind the register. He had his own stool to sit on and read when business was slow. Under the register he had a couple of books to choose from, and if it was a bad day he brought his homework down from the apartment that laid on top of the shop.

It was during his reading period that a tall boy stormed in. The boy had raven black hair that was shaved on the sides but a longer fringe. He had sea green eyes filled with anger. He was pretty cute, after all he was Nico's taste since the boy had a sleeve tattoo on one of his arms and multiple earrings in his right ear. It also helped that he had a loose sitting black tank top with a pair of tight jeans.

The boy slammed down twenty dollars in front of Nico and said, "How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?"

Nico was so caught off guard that he actually started laughing, "Who pissed you off?"

"My stepdad, he is a stuck up idiot who is still trying to make me get back together with my ex-girlfriend even though I'm gay. He is having a big party and is planning to hook me up with my ex, and if that doesn't work I'm sure he has invited a lot of other pretty girls."

"Damn, sucks, okay follow me." Nico stood up and walked to one of the many glass cabinets that contained flowers.

The guy only hesitated for a moment before following him with a suspicious look.

"So you'll need some frog orchid for disgust, and some Birdsfoot trefoil for revenge." Nico explained picking up two of respective flowers, he then showed the boy to follow him to another cabinet.

"You really know your stuff huh?" the guy asked.

Nico shrugged, "it's fun, and here you'll need some meadowsweet for uselessness, and some yellow carnations which literally mean you have disappointed me, kind of neat huh?"

"Damn!" the guy said impressed.

"And lastly some orange lilies for hatred." Nico showed of the small bouquet for flowers, then gave a small grin, "want me to put some ivy in there too? On the house of course."

"No way you have poison ivy in a flower shop!"

"Of course not... but I have some in my backyard." Nico grinned.

"What's your name?" the guy asked he had a smile on his lips also and a look in his eyes that spoke of mischief.

"Nico di Angelo, at your service." Nico said flipping the sign on the front door before leading the guy to the backdoor so that they could enter the backyard.

"I'm Percy Jackson, nice to meet you."

Nico carefully picked some poison ivy before heading back inside to arrange the bouquet for Percy. He was oblivious to the way Percy looked at him while he worked.

After he rung up all the flowers he gave a smile to Percy, "hope that your stepdad loves the flowers."

"To bad I didn't afford two, then my ex could have gotten one too." Percy laughed.

"You're welcome whenever you get your paycheck." Nico said leaning on the counter.

"And before I have a paycheck?" Percy said with a flirty tone.

"Guess we will have to see," Nico winked.

"How about I pick you up at seven and you can be my date for the party, nothing says fuck you more than these flowers and a hot date." Percy offered.

"I'll be waiting outside at seven, don't be late."

"You're not scared of motorcycles are you?" Percy asked.

"Hell no, but be sure to pick me up fast, my sister will have the shop and she will have a heart attack if she sees me climbing up on a motorcycle driven by a handsome guy."

"See you at seven Nico." Percy said leaving the shop.

Nico didn't answer but that was mostly because he had to bite his bottom lip so that he wouldn't shout in glee over finally getting a date.
