[ Just a photo. Some wintery wildflowers on someone's otherwise unremarkable kitchen table.]

What am I supposed to do with these?

[Just a photo. Also a cry for help.]

[medals]

give them to your nan?

[prettier]

I got them from my nan.

[medals]

what's your nan doing here? good grief.

[prettier]

Jem. Fucks sake, this is important.

John left them this morning.

[medals]

ah okay i see the problem now

[prettier]

Yeah.

I think he wrote me poetry.

[medals]

you're not serious

[prettier]

I don't know.

I don't know.

All this stuff about how I look like the sun.

[medals]

he is getting on a bit so his eyesights probably going

surprise 2/2

[medals]

you okay?

[prettier]

I'm in the garden.

[Johns garden, as the warehouse only has a roof. So he's stayed. Sort of. For now.]

[medals]

hmmmmm

you could put them in our kitchen. the flowers.

[prettier]

They're in a vase.

He had a vase, somewhere, in one of his cupboards. Who knew. Maybe they're just decorative? Maybe he's suddenly thinking about becoming a florist. He decided to be a security guard a few weeks ago, I think it's some kind of crisis.

Fucking hell, I never should have agreed.

[medals]

agreed to what?? a little romance?

also a security guard of what?? a sweet shop?

[prettier]

He was in the army, you know.

And yeah, I suppose. He wanted to know if we - him and me - if we were like. A Thing.

[medals]

he asked you to be his boyfriend and you're freaking out over flowers?

[prettier]

Well he didn't say it as a poem.

[medals]

but he is your boyfriend

[prettier]

We've got a thing.

[medals]

stop being a dickhead

[prettier]

Nobody's said boyfriend. He said thing. So if anyone started the thing thing, it's him.

Anyway, it isn't as though I've never had boyfriends before. And girlfriends. It wouldn't be some sort of big deal.

[medals]

shocking actually.

the flowers are nice. he's probably not expecting anything romantic in return. but if you're keen on being a good boyfriend you could always buy him a pack of werther's originals.

[prettier]

Why do I even bother.

I'd delete your number if we didn't live in the same house.

[medals]

to be fair you should've actually told me what you wanted out of me here freddie, mind reading isn't one of my incentives
