[TU]- Ari Catkin's Links
Ari is shy about their feelings for August, and ends up leaving them dried flowers from their shop as a segue for conversation and an excuse to keep coming back to the library. When they finally hold hands, Ari is a blushing mess, despite trying to act cool about it.
August loves seeing Ari around when they're at work, one of their favorite things is keeping the flowers they've given in a small notebook to get them through the day. They longingly wait for their touch with butterflies in their stomach.
