"Yeah yeah. Just take them already."

The guy grumbled, handing you a bouquet of white irises.

When you took the flowers from his hand, barely brushing your fingers against his, his face softened slightly before he hid it by lighting a cigarette.

It was hard to imagine where he was so soft towards you. You always thought he wasn't interested in relationships or anything that came with them, considering his perpetually stony face made it clear to everyone that approaching him was not a good idea.

Yet here he was, giving you flowers on a so-called "thisisnotadatecalmdown" and taking you to a new movie that he clearly didn't pick for three hours.

"No, I'm not sharing my food with you. Just... get popcorn for yourself. Yare-yare.."

He sighed, lowering the peak of his cap a little lower, standing next to you, waiting for you to choose your food. He will pay. There is nothing wrong with that. He is simply thanking you for helping him with the topics he missed when he disappeared somewhere for a month and a half.
