It started when they met in college. The two were dorm mates and instantly clicked. Never had Garrett had somebody be so insistently kind to him and never had Andrew met someone so pure hearted.

Around the second semester, Garrett had been hit with the worst case of the flu ever. Andrew took care of him in between his classes and work, maybe more than he should have. One afternoon he came back to their dorm with flowers. He bought Garrett's favorite, the ones that reminded him of his mother. Garrett's heart swelled at his thoughtfulness.

Ever since that gesture its been a part of their friendship to this day.

Occasion didn't matter. Sometimes it was a holiday, a birthday, even when Garrett hit one million subscribers. Sometimes one of the boys will see some new flower in a shop and just decide to buy them.

The squads first impression of this tradition was Garrett surprising Andrew with daisies on his first day of working with them. When Andrew didn't announce anything like it was irregular no one decided to say anything. The next occasion the squad observed was when Garrett reached one million subscribers. Andrew once again bought him his favorite flowers. This intrigued Shane. After inquiring about their relationship and receiving a casual shrug from both boys, he decided to leave it alone.

From then on they accepted it was just something they did and that was fine. Shane even joked that Ryland didn't do enough for him.

Andrew got home from his third date with Megan. Crashing on his couch he texts Garrett letting him know that they didn't work out. In less than 20 minutes an apologetic looking Garrett shows up at his door with lavender and his favorite cake.

Soon it was time for Garrett to move to his tiny house. Andrew helped him pack up and move that morning. Just when Garrett thought Andrew couldn't have been more of a saint, he shows up later with white carnations and a new copy of Charlie's Angels 2 when the original one got lost in the move.

Andrew's birthday orchid was routine. So when Garrett didn't appear that morning nor did he even send him a text that day, Andrew's left hurt and confused.

Andrew spent a majority of his birthday at Shane and Rylands house. After explaining to them what was going on, they both tried to reassure him that Garrett would never do something like that without good reason and that it was going to be okay. Many hours of eating, presents, and youtube videos later Andrew receives a text.

Garrett™ : Hey. I'm sorry about today. I hope you can forgive me? I kind of need you to come over...

Andrew shows the text to Shane and Ryland, hoping to receive a helpful opinion.

"Honestly, Andrew," Shane starts. "Like we said, there's never not a good reason."

"He's your best friend right? You should give him that chance." Ryland adds in.

Andrew sighs and nods. "You're right." He reopens his messages to respond.

Andrew: I hope you're okay, Garrett. I'll be over soon.

With that he anxiously makes his way down the horror that is Shane's driveway, and is on his way to Garrett's house.

Upon arriving he wonders if he should have gotten flowers for Garrett. After all what if something is wrong? However part of him wants to be salty, not because he didn't get flowers but because he wasn't interacted with the entire day. Eventually he gives up and decides he's already at his house so it doesn't matter.
