Tom stayed by my side the entire day.


He refused to leave.


As much as I enjoy his company, he can't just skip class for me. What's he gonna do tomorrow?


Will he skip again, or go to his classes?


I just don't understand the point.


Though I will admit, it's nice having him around more.


He's been so devoted lately.


So...attentive.









As classes finish, I bring Tom with me to sit outside, with the weather getting much nicer, I thought it would be fun.



I sit next to him on the grass, my knees to my chest as I pull out small flowers one by one.



With every flower I pick, I place it in a small pile between the two of us.



The pile grows fast.




Though I will admit, the pile wasn't just full of flowers, when I ran out of the flowers next to me, I began to pull on the grass.



He has his book with him, but doesn't bother to open it.





He just seems to observe.







We sat in silence for a while.






"So.."


-I begin, still picking and placing in the pile.
