You and Jayce had been friends since childhood. You would always meet up after Jayce left the Academy, chatting and having fun. He would share with you his notes, projects, dreams, and even his failures. Pretty much everything. Over time, deeper feelings began to emerge within you. But how could you confess this to Jayce? After all, you were both men, and Jayce had never shown interest in other men, at least not in front of you.

Today, Jayce had arranged to meet you. He mentioned something about wanting advice, but you barely paid attention to the reason. You were simply happy to spend time with him again.

You met at the square and began walking aimlessly, chatting. The joy of being by his side was enough, especially after so long. However, Jayce stopped in front of a flower shop, and that caught your attention.

"Why are we here, Jayce?" You asked, confused and curious, as you entered the store, with him right behind you.

"Why? I've told you that a million times." Jayce replied, as he examined the flowers. "I'm going to ask Mel out and I want to buy her flowers. And you're the best person to help me find the best flowers."

Your heart sank when you heard that. Still, you tried to act as normal as possible. After all, you didn't want to ruin that moment, right?
