Flowers, how cliché. But they were in pretty decent shape considering the time of year. He had asked Gert for help in making the bouquet of near-dying red roses. Hopefully it wasn't symbolic of their potential relationship. Joe stood at Conny’s bedroom door with his nose in the flowers, taking in the aroma, but really only delaying his knock. He was extremely nervous, only because it wasn’t like the stubborn Capricorn to admit when he was wrong, but Sentient was worth it. After finally knocking on the door, he mildly panicked and forgot what time it was. 'Shit it's late, he might be sleeping’ he thought to himself while toying with the idea of taking off down the hall. But it was too late, the door handle began to turn and before he knew it the door was open.
"Hi, I um, here," he greeted while handing the flowers to the lad.
"I was just coming by and..." he stuttered while pointing down the hall.
"Okay this is stupid. I’m sorry if you were sleeping, but I had to talk to you. Conlan... I am so sorry about what I said. It was over dramatic and over the top, I should have never been so thoughtless. If anyone knows about sacrifice and commitment, it’s you. I’m just, I don’t know, scared I guess.”
He shifted in his stance and fought back a choke.
"They say what you fear the most has already happened to you, well I’m beginning to see the truth in that statement. It’s just that, you touched me when you uttered those words and I freaked out because…well…I love you too."
