Joe already knew that Ram approved, yet somehow having the cat's approval - Trouble, he reminded himself - also felt like a good sign. Like Ram's mom might approve if or when they ever met. Sure, she'd contributed to Ram's gift package for him but she'd only heard about him via her son who was about as biased as it came.
"Flowers have meanings?" It rang a faint bell, except all Joe could remember was something about yellow roses and friendship. Joe lifted the 'charming' flower to inhale the scent. "It's lovely whatever it means," he told Ram, touched by the gesture.

Joe hooked his fingers into the front of Ram's shirt, tugging him close enough for a brief kiss. "Hm. I could stand to hear it a few more times."
He stepped back, hand trailing down from Ram's shirt until he could take his hand. Not even music could express the hold that Ram had on him. "Are you ready to head out?"
