They were sitting with their backs to a tree, soft grass underneath them, green leaves high above them. Poison Oak was making a daisy chain for Lavinia's hair, and Lavinia was telling her about the book she'd just finished reading.
"It was incredible. Five stars out of five." Lavinia glanced over at her girlfriend. "Poy? Hey, you still there?"
"Why do you like me?" Poison Oak asked suddenly.
"What?"
"You heard me. I sting everything I come into contact with, I'm literally a tree, and I'm not even pretty. There's not reason for you to-"
Lavinia cut her off by gently placing a kiss on her lips. When she pulled away, Poison Oak winced in sympathy.
"Your lips will be stinging for days."
"You're worth it. Seriously, Poy. You are. I like you, a lot, even if no one else thinks this will work out. I want it to. Work out, I mean. Sheesh, I'm butchering this." Lavinia pulled a face and her girlfriend laughed. "Look, what I meant to say was, I want this to happen, whether you sting me or not. And you are pretty, even if you're a tree. Who cares if you're a tree anyway? I don't." Lavinia folded her arms determinedly.
Poison Oak smiled. "I appreciate it, Vi. I like you a lot too."
"Then it's settled."
Poison Oak finished threading the last stem through and carefully placed the daisy crown on top of Lavinia's pink hair. "Happy pride, Vi."
Lavinia laughed. "You're only realising now?"
Poison Oak shrugged. "I never really did much about it before."
"Well, happy pride."
"Happy pride."
"Happy pride."
Poison Oak laughed. "Happy pride, Vi."
