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."

Flowers, how cliché. So much so that Conlan was taken aback by the gesture. He honestly hadn't expected to see Joe at his door, let alone bearing gifts - of the genuinely romantic and sentimental nature. He had convinced himself that their intimate dealings had begun and ended up in the guard tower, despite what his sister-in-law had said. He hadn't even had to wait very long. Here Joe was...

The doctor began nattering on before he could even interject, but Sentient took the flowers when they were handed to him and listened intently to what Josiah had to say, eyes locked. Just before Joe said, 'this is stupid', he ducked his head to take a smell of the roses. Despite being a little off-color, they were at their most fragrant. But his smile didn't erupt until Joe said he was 'so sorry'. He blinked in his silence, "Roses..." they all began to twist and wiggle in as non-creepy a manner as was possible and he smirked, "Ye coulda just said ya were sorry."

The Irishman pulled the door open fully and took a step back, but Joe went on. He loved him too? He swallowed hard and the roses went still. After another few moments' silence, he met Joe's eyes again and his serious expression reverted back to the smirk, "In that case, I guess ye can come in," he winked at Recon and finally a grin broke out.

Joe was surprised. He was afraid the roses would turn into some sort of man-eating-plant, like a scene from "Little Shop of Horrors". But Conlan wasn't angry, nor was he grudging or sad. Instead, the Irish ~~boy~~ man invited him in with a welcoming nature. Their was a calming sense about his bedroom, like the feeling you get walking into an empty library. Not wanting to appear too nervous, Josiah sat on the edge of his bed.

"Believe it or not it's possible to be comfortable and nervous at the same time. I'm hardly ever nervous around anyone, you seem to bring that out in me, not sure why. Maybe because I don't want to disappoint you, so naturally that's the first thing I do," he quipped while rolling his eyes.

"There's a lot about me that goes understood, unfortunately. Hopefully patience is your virtue. I've had the best time getting to know you though and I want to be, you know, closer.

An uncomfortable silence fell over the room. He didn't know what else to say, so commenting on the flowers seemed like an easy escape.

"Sorry the roses aren't very fresh, I doubt they'll last long."
