Summary
“And this is why no one likes my visions.”
You looked him straight in the eye, incensed and oddly sympathetic. "This is why you don't like your visions."
--
A humble painter, you have lived your life out of sight, out of mind in your large family, but when your mother arranges an appointment with The Madrigals to determine your future husband, you are not sold on the promise made. You are very much not sold on the fact you're going to be marrying the Bruno Madrigal, a man shorter than you.
As you come to find out, the future is what you make it, and your new husband is willing to make something beautiful with you.
Inspired by Rayliex's "Pigeon" and StarlightOmicron's "Stuck in the Same Boat."

Summary
Wilhelm is unextraordinary, at least in his own mind. All he cares for is his older brother Erik, baking, and the owner of the bakery, Flora. He's a romantic, and not in the way most people defined themselves. Rather he finds himself inventing the stories of the people who come through the bakery. He likes seeing the happiness in each and every person. He is obsessed with love, and he has a love for each of the people in his life (which aren't many).
Simon is the opposite, a quiet person who seems to dislike everyone. He's disconnected from every person he interacts with, even his friends. He is chasing a connection he's unsure exists. He doesn't believe a person could ever know him fully, he's changing too often and too closed off. He keeps secrets from each person he was close to. There is always a small part of him that he keeps just for himself with each of them.
The two work opposite of each other, Wille in Flora's, a bakery he adored. Simon in a bookstore where the owner rarely shows up let alone knows what happens in the store, just across the street. When Flora decides to bring some bread to Simon at the end of his last shift before the holidays, it makes the two come together for the first time.
