Ronald was the type of guy that seemed to flirt with anyone. So reasonably, you were skeptical of the blonde haired man.

Yet somehow, he'd managed to charm his way into becoming your friend. Still, he flirted away with the other girls in the office... Until he stopped outright flirting completely. It was sudden. It was strange. But he did.

And then he started bringing you gifts. Food, a pretty bracelet, and right now, a rose. Really, you'd expect him to straight up ask you out instead when he realized his feelings, but no, he was actually trying. Trying to be sweet, trying to court you first. Like he'd made the decision to finally commit to someone. Maybe he was leading up to asking you out later.

You gave him a wary look, and it seemed to make the boy smile and laugh. "Oh, come on, take it. It's not going to bite. Look, I even cut off all the thorns. It won't hurt any!" Ronald chuckled and scratched the back of his hair where he'd dyed it black.
