schlatts pov:

"will you give me permission to marry dahlia?" niki asked.

and man, the question caught me off guard.
but i trust niki. they love dahlia and i can see that.
and dahlia loves niki.
and i know niki isn't going to hurt dahlia.

"uh-" i cleared my throat.
"yeah. i give you m-my permission."

"i just wanted to ask. cause y'know, that's traditional."

"yeah i understand."

"thank you schlatt."

"no problem."

"oh and could you find out their ring size?"

"yeah."

"and could you not tell them? cause i want to tell them myself."

"sure."

"thank you."

"no problem!"

they bought a ring one time and i think the receipt is somewhere.
they don't throw away receipts just in case.
never knew why but it's to my advantage.

i shouldn't look through their room, they told me not to but maybe they forgot about it.

i walked into their room and they were asleep.
i went through their drawers and my hand touched a box of something.
not the receipt but i'll check in a sec after i find it.
cause i'm a man on a mission.

i found it on their dresser near their ring collection.
size 5

i quickly texted it to niki and went back to the drawer where i felt something.
i shouldn't look.
but...
i cant not.

i took it out and it was a pack of cigarettes.
shit.

what do i do?
how would i explain this?

i saw dahlia shift and i quickly closed the drawer and ran out the door with the cigarettes in my hand and shut it.

that was close.

dahlias pov:

i heard someone run but assumed it was schlatt in the other room.
but it sounded like it was in my room.
but eh no one's here.

i got up cause i was dehydrated and walked out to get a water.

"hey man." i waved and grabbed a water from the fridge.

schlatt seemed distant.
"hey."

"what's up?" i took a sip of my water.

"nothin."

"you sure?"

"dahlia..." he started.

"why is there a pack of cigs in your room."

my heart stopped.
"i- um."

"dahlia you told me you would stop."

"why did you go through my stuff?" i asked, a little hurt.

"cause...i-i,"

"cause what?!" i teared up.
"schlatt that was my one boundary. i told you, 'just don't go through my stuff' and that was it. you broke my trust schlatt."

"it's hard to explain right now but YOU told me you would quit." he got up from his chair quickly.

my eyes widened, i tensed up and took a step back.
he saw this and took a small step back.
