{The Universe}

"Hello Milo,"

"Good evening Dimitri!"

I called him by his first name, after what happened last night I refrained from bringing up and knowledge or relevance to 'the girl that left'.

"I see the universe has been kind to you,"

"How so?"

He smiled warmly, but it was a different kind of smile that I've seen.

"Your smile, it's real."

"As is yours,"

He laughed.

"Yes I suppose, I met someone today,"

"Oh?"

"Who knows, maybe I'll fall for them, maybe I'll keep hanging on. They've got really nice brown fluffy hair and pearly sea green eyes, but of course their personality is sweet as well,"

Yes that's right. Dimitri has his own personal life that doesn't involve me. I shouldn't feel this sense of longing, right?

"I see..."

I guess Dimitri was wrong, the universe hasn't been kind to me.

"Maybe I should go now, goodnight Dimitri,"

"Whatever that is,"

"When will you sleep?"

"I'll sleep when I'm dead,"

"That's quite dramatic isn't it?"

Then there was a quiet pause, neither of us said anything until I chose to speak up.

"We should send her flowers sometime,"

Dimitri perked his head to the side.

"Who?"

"The Universe, maybe then she'll let you sleep,"
