They awake to warmth, and each other. Link smiles and squints at the blond, seemingly had lost his glasses during the process of last night.

Neither person says a word as kisses are shared. They both know they have to get up, but they don't care.

Yet, after 15 minutes and Link persisting that he get to work, they get up.

Rhett lends the brunet clothes, althought rather baggy, Link appreciates them greatly.

They also spend about 10 minutes looking for Link glasses, finding them tucked under one of Rhett's pillows.

In total, it took them a total of 27 minutes to get out the door and to the car. Something Link learns, is how sore his body was. He grimaces as he seats himself in the passengers seat. Rhett looks concerned, smiling softly as an apology.

"Sorry 'bout that." He says sheepishly, pulling out of his driveway and onto the road.

"It's fine, I should've guess it would hurt afterwards." Link chuckles passively.

Link tunes the car radio (which, isn't stolen) to 104.7, smiling as the beat if 'Shape Of You' comes through the speakers.

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and start up a conversation with just me

Rhett smiles as he watches the the florist sing out the corner of his eye.
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like

Rhett joins in.

"Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me"

"Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead"

They both burst into laughter, the song slightly dying under their voices.

The song ends and radio person starts to speak;

"Good morning everyone! It's 8:23am and you know that means, news time!" Noises alike to paper crumpling is heard. "As of this morning, police have a found a local floral shop in flames, investigators have no clue on how the building caught a flame. They say they're waiting for the owner, Link Neal, to come down."

Rhett immediately turned off the radio, pulling over before assessing a now sobbing Link.

"... so many years, I had to save up just to buy that place. I- I can't beileve it's gone." The florist mummbles, his eyes wide. He felt cold and numb everywhere, he couldn't even feel the blond holding him, hear him talking.

"Link, Link hey, I need you to focus." Rhett pleads, he was terrified. He's never seen someone break down so fast.

It was heartbreaking.

"I have to go down there." The brunet finally speaks, his hand grabbing Rhett's arm.

"Okay."
