Work Text:
Dan had been so excited for his vacation to Manchester. He wanted to party, maybe find a dominant Alpha who would rock his world in more than one way. But as always his hopes and dreams had been crushed the second he entered the little flower shop below the B&B he would be staying at.
The owner of the shop had smiled at him and given him the keys. Dan noticed the grey shirt with a „Plant Daddy“ print that the guy had paired with neon green shorts. In Dan’s opinion the guy had the worst fashion sense ever.
„Thank you“, he said and was about to walk up the stairs when the Dad of the plants stopped him.
„I’m really sorry Sir, but there is a little issue. We - I mean I – I mean the flat – had a water leak yesterday. I’m afraid your room isn’t available anymore so you have to stay in mine. I can take the sofa.“
Dan couldn’t believe it. What a fucking nightmare. „Uhm okay“, he said but felt bad immediately, so he added: „But I can’t possibly take your bed. I can use the sofa instead.“
They argued back and forth until it was time for the guy – Dan still hadn’t asked for his name, and now it would be awkward to do so. Oh fuck – to close the shop. Together the, went up the stairs and the guy showed him to the bedroom. The walls were painted in a dark green and the color reminded Dan of his therapist’s office. The floor was covered with a bright green carpet. The bed was huge and looked very comfy. A green and blue checkered bedsheet covered it. „You must really like green“, he stated a tried not to sound disgusted. Too much color.
The guy nodded and said: „It’s the best equivalent to plants.“
„Why don’t you have plants? You own a flower shop“, Dan asked. The guy was confusing him.
„Oh I can only keep them alive for a few days. That’s why I’m selling them. So they’ll have a better home soon“, apparently the not so good plant dad explained.
Dan had to laugh at that. Even if unintentional, the guy was funny. Dan looked at the bed again, swallowed and proposed: „The bed is pretty big. We could just share…?“
The guy turned bright red and spluttered something, Dan couldn’t really understand. The guy looked cute with his red face and blonde hair, he thought. A bit like ketchup and mayonnaise next to each other - now he was craving dips. Oh great.
The guy went to the bed and retrieved his Pajama pants. They were green as well and had little Creeper faces on them. „You can have the other side of the bed“, he mumbled.
Dan put his suitcase down and got his black pajama out. After that the guy showed him to the bathroom and both got ready for bed.
That night Dan dreamed about ketchup, mayonnaise and the guys pretty eyes. When he awoke those eyes were staring at him. The guy seemed flustered and from experience Dan could exactly tell what was going on. So he channeled that inner wolf of his and started to flirt, which turned into a make out session soon and Dan had to admit, that he didn’t need an Alpha to make him happy. Maybe weird guy with an obsession with the color green was his type.
„How long are you staying again?“, the guy asked at some point and Dan said: „For only a few days but I planned on moving here for my job in a month.“
„So, would you maybe want to move in with me?“, the guy asked. Dan still didn’t know his name and it was starting to become a problem.
Without thinking too long – Dan had done that enough in his life already – he said yes.
And thus Dan moved in with guy and since they were both submissive weak Omegas Dan never learned his partners name.
THE END
