after getting harry’s blessing, ravi lets out a long breath he didn’t even realize he’d been holding. technically, he doesn’t need permission to date may. they’re both adults, both perfectly capable of making their own decisions. still, out of respect for his colleague— and honestly, his friend— it feels right to ask first. hearing harry say it’s fine gives ravi the space to finally relax, like a door has opened that he’s been carefully standing in front of for days. though if ravi is being honest with himself, he still thinks harry overreacted a little. it’s not like ravi forced anything. if anything, may was the one who took control that night, confidently closing the distance between them until one thing led to another. next thing he knew, harry walked in on him standing there completely naked in his sister’s apartment. definitely not the kind of first impression ravi hoped to make.
but that awkward moment is behind them now, and ravi plans to do things properly this time. after finishing his shift at the 118, he heads straight to may’s apartment, a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other. he doesn’t have anything overly fancy planned yet. for now, he just wants to ask her out on a real date, something that actually starts the right way. maybe the flowers and chocolates will help his chances, even if they’re technically already seeing each other.
when the door opens and he sees her standing there, his entire face lights up. the nerves disappear almost instantly, replaced by a wide, hopeful smile. he lifts the bouquet slightly toward her. “ hey, ” he says, a little sheepish but clearly excited. “ i got you something. ”
