Thurs April 10th
WHO: Lloyd & Garret WHERE: Lloyd's humble abode. WHEN: Thursday April 10th WHAT: It's been over a week since the break up and Garret ends their mutual avoidance by paying him a formal visit. RATING: god knows. not good anyway
The last week had been eventful. End of engagement and relationship followed by two day binge fest, then a 'baking lesson' with Fisher (it had been the most sexual cookery lesson Lloyd had ever done. In fact the only one) which was then followed by a night at James' apartment, topped off the next day with being picked up by a random, hot stranger, another night at James' apartment, another meeting with said stranger, Wednesday had brought another busy work session and finally today was a day for himself. It had been... lonely. Without some drama to distract him other than his own personal woes, Lloyd was allowed to dwell on the silence of his apartment. It had never mattered before. When he'd first arrived he was quite used to there not being anything else going on or expecting someone over, but now... Garret's noise wasn't there. And Lloyd was doing all he could to fill that void.

Things were buzzing around his head for what he must do and remember, when a knock was at the door. Lloyd trotted over to answer it, figuring it'd be James or Fisher or someone. He was wrong.
Having not seen Garret all week it hadn't even come into his head that they would, eventually, end up face to face again. Seeing the pathfinder standing at his door was unexpected, so much so that Lloyd had his armour down and the huge, swinging wrecking ball plowed into his stomach. All the good his friends had done him over the past ten days vanished, and suddenly Lloyd was back five minutes after their break-up conversation with a shattered heart and no mind at all.
"H...." No words. Anywhere. Fuck he loved him so much. He was transfixed by those eyes, his own watering. Lloyd swallowed and tried again. "Hello..."
