Summary
My mouth hangs open, squinting at him as he tries to bullshit an answer to me and rambling off about them. It’s somehow the most endearingly idiotic thing I’ve ever heard.

It’s a relatively calm day at the shop. That is, until a bumbling bloke comes in trying to act like he knows everything.

Summary
“Shit, I thought either of you was about to pounce each other, and I’m not quite sure whether it was to fistfight or to snog.”

Summary
It’s starting to dawn on me that this tit almost definitely does not have any sense of self preservation, nor does he stop to think about trust. Never have I seen somebody so eagerly run up a stranger’s stairs at a single motion, but yet, here he is. Doing exactly that.

Oliver’s eyes close at first before opening and peering up into the sky, face breaking into a smile at it. Hands outstretched, he tries to grab at the falling snow unsuccessfully. I shift him, propping him with one arm to my side and brushing his hair back with my other hand as I grin.

Summary
I'd left the restaurant with a ring box in my pocket and down two whiskeys that I'd shot back. Something in me on the cab home must've broke, because I'd instinctively told the cab driver to drop me off at a bar that I'd seemed to have past a million times.
Standing outside of it felt surreal. The bitter wind of early January slammed into my side as I just stared at the glowing, pink, neon sign of the gay club.
