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

[prettier]

Can't you just be useful? I know it's a stretch.

Do I just leave them there? Sitting on the table like a great big bloody valentine? Next thing you know we'll be saving sex for special occasions and buying boxed sets of DVDs. I could come back to the flat for a while. How long do flowers take to die?

[medals]

well if you come back to the flat i'm going to kill you for calling me useless

[medals]

for fuck sake, just put them in the kitchen like a normal person

[prettier]

Bigger avoidance strategy than I'd planned for, but it's an option I suppose.

They're in the kitchen. That's where they started.

Fuck it, I'm going for a walk.
