Hyacinth

Hyacinth didn't know why he invited Birch to hang out with him and his buddies.  It ended up being super awkward because he doesn't talk.  Honestly, it would've just been better to get over him.  It just hit too hard.  Birch was cute, and they'd been acquainted for long enough.  So when Birch asked to hang out at his place which was a really stupid idea, Hyacinth didn't turn him down.  Again letting our emotions dictate our decisions because if he was honest.  All the people he hung out with he didn't like.  No Birch was suuuuuper lame, but ...Hyacinth could not think of anyone else.

"Uhm, you're super lame"  Hyacinth expressed as he stepped in.

"Yea...nice to see you too..."

"Why do I have to hang out with you if I like you?"

Birch thought for a moment.  Yea.  Hyacinth always had fresh breath.  He could smell it just from his speaking.  This was definitely bad news.  "Because I thought we were friends?"

"I mean do you really think I think of you as just a friend.  If you honestly think that you're conceited"

"Well, I am dating someone, this is literally his house."

"Do you think that I would cancel plans to go to the fucking beach with everyone I know, just so I could I don't know, TALK TO A SHUT IN"

"Wow, shots fired"

"Are you that dense..."

"I choose not to be around people, because they're annoying..."

"I could been having fun right now"

"I am FUN!"

"No! No you're not!  Writing is your idea of fun"

"It's an entertaining hobby"

"You write about plants!"

"BECAUSE PLANTS ARE INTERESTING"

Hyacinth threw up his hands.  "Unbelievable"

"Plants are interesting and a very vital part of our ecosystem"

"I don't fucking care!  I have to go out every night and do something just so I don't have to think about you fucking some other guy!"

"You know when you pressed up against me at the bus stop I wasn't gonna stop you..."

"Why, why would you tell me that"  Hyacinth pressed his face into the palms of his hands to hide himself from embarassment.

"I just wanted you to know!"

"You know when I did that it was because you literally gave me a hard on!"

"TMI!"

"I thought you felt the same!"

"No, but it was nice!"

"I'm not doing this to myself"

"Doing what"

"Do you know what it's like to be around you?"

"I didn't even know you had feelings for me"

"You complimented my loincloth?"

"I was starting a conversation?"

"You were starting a conversation...?  At a bus stop?  You must really think I'm a puritan"

"You are a little obsessed"

"That's putting it mildly.  I think heeding to your beck and call like a fucking whipped dog qualifies as a little more than obsessed."

"You're a fun guy.  And I just don't like hanging around most people other than Birch.  I think he's like a piece of shit or something."

"I'm not coming over anymore...this was stupid..."

"Yea, great friend"  Birch rolled his eyes.

"Yea, amazing"

"I bet you go to sleep at night and dream happy dreams having such great friends"

"Well maybe my friends didn't give me a stiffy at a bus stop."

"Well maybe my friends wouldn't mention it"

"Well!  Maybe my friends actually have feelings!"

"Well maybe my friends are in a happy relationship!"

"Well maybe my friends don't sit in silence in the middle of a party!"

"If I don't leave, I'm going to fucking go crazy"

Birch shut up.  He didn't want Hyacinth to leave.  Not good.  Not good not good not good.
