Arthur Hastings would be in his office, joyfully doing his work editing as he has been taking his Joy, everyone knows to take their Joy...except for some certain people who refuse to take it, they're named Downers, the Doctors take care of them though, they make them feel Joy again.
Back to Arthur Hastings, he has been editing work in Department of Archives, Printing, and Recycling in the Parade District. As he did his job he came across an article about his brother, Percy, and him winning a prize. "Oh Percy..." He mumbled in a sad tone as he starred at the photo. His memory sparked and instead of taking more Joy to forget, he didn't take any and chose to remember more about his past, he dumped the pills out onto his desk and aggressively used his arm to slide them off the desk, he than threw the pill container into the trashcan.
Arthur whimpered at the memory that he had and quickly finished his job. He got out of his seat and looked down at the pills and frowned, he sighed and walks out his office, out the building, and walked home.
On his way home he encountered many people and acted like he did take his Joy, greeting friendly, smiling, everything a person on Joy would do. He acted extra around the Doctors and Bobbies, but not much to make them suspicious.

One specific bobby got suspicious and walked over to Arthur, the bobby spoke in a confident tone, "Have you not taken your Joy sir?". Arthur looked up at the bobby nervously and spoke "O-Oh right, my Joy...almost forgot..", He immediately took out a pill from his pants pocket and put it in his mouth, but didn't swallow it. The bobby was "joyful" for the man's decision and turned around as he went back to scout around. Arthur walked away and spit the Joy pill into the bushes out of everyone's sight.
When Arthur got home he sighed and took his mask off, he was a blushing mess, he rubbed his head as he sighed and whimpered. He mumbled "Fuck sake...", he had a weird reaction to that bobby we he first saw him, he doesn't know why. All the bobbies look sort of alike to him but he can tell which is which though. Arthur thought am I gay, I couldn't be gay. Being gay isn't good...but what if I was?..No, I couldn't be possible be, I only like women, not males. Why did I feel like that for that specific bobby? What was it about that bobby that made me feel like this? He questioned it a lot. He couldn't have fallen for a man, and worst of all not for a goddamn bobby! But, he was very confused about himself.
He went up the stairs to his bedroom and sat on his bed as he looked down and spoke out loud to himself, "Do I like that bobby? Maybe...he could p-possibly like me back?" He shook his head. "No, stop acting foolish Arthur, that bobby couldn't possibly be gay, even if he were to be gay, i'm not gay..". He groan and yawned as he laid in bed. "Maybe I should rest for a little...to clear my mind" He put his glasses on his counters as he than closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Time skip a few hours later

Arthur woke up to banging on his door, he groaned and put his glasses on. He quickly went downstairs and wore his mask, he opened the door and was surprised to see that it was that same bobby from yesterday, he blushed under the mask. The bobby tipped his hat, but Arthur noticed some flowers behind the bobby's back and cleared his throat. "I-I think you got the wrong house s-sir...". The bobby shook his head and handed Arthur the bouquet of roses, Arthur gasped at the beautiful deep red colour the roses had, he cuddled it.
Arthur looks up at the now looking away bobby, he smiled "T-Thank you...but...why..d-did you give m-me these?.." He tried sounding as confident
as possible, but he was still in shock about what had happened. The bobby slowly looked at Arthur once more and sighed as he than started speaking, "I 'ave had been wanting to give these to you for some time, I ain't been able to...but I am very pleased now that i've given them to you..i'll be heading off now...".
Arthur whimpered, he didn't want him to go yet, he wanted to talk with the bobby more, he quickly thought of something and smiled. "C-Constable?....Can...I please tell you something?..." He started putting the bouquet on the table beside the door.
The bobby looked at Arthur once more and sighed. "Of course sir, but make it quick. I really need to get back.." Arthur quickly got on the tip of his toes and wrapped his arms around the bobby as he kisses him on the lips. They both blushes and the bobby wrapped his arms around Arthur's waist.

They both enjoyed the kiss very much.
