Thoughts on post-war Levi owning his tea shop right across from the reader's bakery?
They don't know each other, but reader comes in one day during her break and orders some tea before rushing back to her bakery. Levi loves the soft smell of sweets that linger whenever she comes in and he's quick to memorize the way she likes her tea.
His curiosity one day leads him to cross the streat and go into the bakery, and he's suddenly in love with how warm and inviting it all feels. He's very careful with his order. He wouldn't say he's a picky eater— just very particular about his tastes.
The reader's the first to start a conversation, and well, one thing leads to the other and now they always meet up at the same time every day. Levi brings tea. You bring the sweets.
He enjoys every bit of it, though he'd have trouble saying so.♡
Awe! post war Levi. The love of my readers life!
Being someone who doesn't understand tea a lot maybe he could teach reader a thing or two and try different variations until finding something they like.
Same with the bakery, it all smells so good but sweets are something Levi is careful about.
So one night after closing you take a whole tray of different bakery items for Levi to try and he makes multiple cups of different teas and you just spend hours eating, drinking and talking.
Before the night is up you know each others likes and dislikes, and not only about the food.
Since it's late and your shop is locked up you stay in his shop and together clean up all the cups and plates you've used, and he walks you home that evening, and you tell him to call when he's inside as well. He does and he's smiling as you're clearly overtired, but still wanted him to check in.
You call it a night since you both have to open the next day but see each other across the way and smile to one another and Levi points to his new sign, that tells customers if they bring the receipt showing they made a purchase from you that day, they'd get a large tea for the price of a small from him.
Are you swooning yet?! Now it's packed in both your shops and customers wonder if you will do something like that too. On a quick lunch break you run over to his shop to thank him and bring him something since he doesn't usually close. You jump behind the counter and while Levi serves the tea, you get people napkins and tea spoons and start telling them when you open in a short time that if people bring a receipt from Levis shop for buying take home loose leaf tea, that they'll get two muffins for the price of one!
And this man cannot adore you anymore I SWEAR! His sales suddenly go up real quick and while that's great it's YOU making him happiest.
So it continues and you make a sign and everyone is always in your shop and then his, or vice versa depending on what they want for the day. Every week after, you come up with new signs together for specials of the week.
And after closing time you are always bringing over left over sweets while Levi brews the perfect cup of tea for you both, because he knows exactly what you like now, and you get to know each other very well in the corner booth.
It gets to the point that you no longer sit across from each other, but next to each other. Hands no longer resting on the table, but on top of one another's. No need for him to walk you home and check in later, because you're both going to the same place. And maybe, one day, you not only combine your shops for good, but hold your very special ceremony with close friends and family right in the shop just before opening day.
