Quatre, of course, had a tendency to stick out at school. Students talked, rumors and gossip were a staple in class - from the supernatural to very mundane - even if he tried to stay out of it, there was no escaping overhearing whispered theories and questions completely. Shuichi simply wasn't concerned with the other student's business, no matter what it was about. His priority was making his mother happy, keeping his grades up and working at his job. While his father had left them with a comfortable bit of money after his passing, it was not enough to account for Shiori's treatments after she suddenly fell ill. He didn't waste his time socializing with his peers, carefully deflecting and evading the attempts of others to get any closer to him. For one thing, he could not afford distractions. For another, the classmates who did try to get his attention were simply of no interest to him. Quatre was different, at least, in that he felt more like another person around him than a status symbol.

Shuichi was finishing a transaction for another customer when the door opened to a familiar face, one who he had never seen outside of school before and had no reason to think lived anywhere nearby. Not knowing what he did about Quatre's situation, at least. With everything the other had going on, the redhead did not immediately worry that his presence had anything to do with the his arrival at the shop, such as an attempt to corner him into conversation, like he may have with certain other classmates. The logical answer was more grounded in reality, of course, he must need to purchase some flowers.

The smile remained once the woman left and he was free to shift his attention to help someone else, turning curiously to the newcomer as he walked in.

“Looking for anything in particular?”

Quatre had been distracted when he first walked into the store, looking to see what his sister might like for a birthday present, mentally running through the check list of the flowers and flower colors that might be see strange for him to ask for for his sister's birthday. Not that he didn't already stand out. He was aware that he did. Right now the only thing keeping him from looking like a tourist was the fact that he was wearing a school uniform.

As he glanced up from the flowers he finally spotted the person who was working behind the counter. O-oh... It was Shuichi. He felt his heart skip a bit for a moment, seeing the guy that he found attractive outside of school. He obviously worked here. So that was why he was never around after school! He had a job.

It was true; he was not here just for conversation. He really did have flowers that he wanted to buy. But it was a happy accident that he had run into Shuichi. He smiled as the other came over.

"I'm looking for something that would be good for my older sister's birthday."
