Untitled (Legal Drug)
Title: Untitled
Series: Legal Drug
Characters, Pairings: Kakei/Saiga
AN: Repost of ficlet.
Saiga rarely got sick. So the day he woke up with a head cold, it wasn't surprising that he didn't have any cold medicine.
And that's why he was headed out on a December Sunday morning when he'd much rather be in bed. He stepped out of his building and looked in both directions, not sure of where the nearest pharmacy was in his new neighborhood. He randomly chose to head right.
Just a half block down, he found exactly what he was looking for- a small shop called Green Pharmacy he'd never noticed before.
His eyes quickly adjusted to the inside, even with the sunglasses he only took off in total privacy. It was a clean little place, with well-organized aisles, but still had the aura of being privately owned, rather than being part of some mega-corporation.
"Welcome."
Saiga turned.
Damn.
The most gorgeous man he'd seen in a long time was standing in front of him, with a white lab coat, blond hair, and green eyes.
Damn again. Why did he have to meet him -now-, when Saiga's head felt like it was about to implode?
"Hey."
"How may I help you?"
"I'm just looking for some cold medicine." Inspiring conversation.
"You do look rather flushed."
"Just congestion mainly." They were talking about -snot-.
"Well I can certainly help you there." The blond gave a teasing smile. "Would you like cherry flavor or grape perhaps?"
"Always prefered cherry, actually." Saiga managed to return the smile.
Just a few minutes later he was paying for his cherry-flavored decongestant.
"You're the only one here?" Saiga really hoped he was being suitably roguish and charming, but he doubted it.
"Right now, yes. I own it actually."
"It's a nice place." Impressive- he was young to own his own pharmacy.
"Thank you." Another smile. "You can call me Kakei."
"Then you can call me Saiga."
"Well, Saiga, be sure to come back when you're well. We do sell more than medicine." Kakei paused for a moment, before flashing yet another smile. "I'm sure you'll flirt better when you're not sick too."
That had actually gone very well, Saiga mused as he left. Perhaps he should have tried approaching cute men when he was sick before; maybe it played on their sympathies.
But he definitely planned on making shopping at Green Drugstore a habit.
