"Medicines?" You didn't mean to sound disappointed but you did, taking the packet from Zayne's extended hand and flipping it over to see what it was for.
“It rained yesterday and you forgot your umbrella, so I figured you might need these.” He said in his usual monotone, eyes dropping briefly to the package in your arms. It made you giggle a little. You had expected flowers. But only Dr Zayne Li can show up at your door with cold medicine as a romantic gesture and make it more charming than flowers.
"But you did bring me the umbrella while you were coincidentally passing by." He was doing his thing again—avoiding your eyes as his ears turned the cutest shade of pink. You bit the inside of your cheek to keep from smiling too wide.
“So… ummm… I didn't get wet at all, thanks to you.”
You could see his genius mind working, trying to come up with an excuse. "Humidity carries a lot of pathogens regardless of direct exposure, so I thought it was reasonable to-” he stopped. "Nevermind.”
"Do you think my immune system is that of a Victorian child?"
"I apologise for assuming." He straightened his posture, but you could see the slight tremor in his fingers as he struggled to find somewhere to put his hands.
“So, you do assume that?”
"I'm not trying to imply-"
"What are you trying to imply then, Dr Zayne?"
“You don't have to be so formal, since I'm-” You raise your eyebrow at him, waiting for him to continue. “your boyfriend now.” It sounded strange coming from him like a word he had only ever read and never said out loud. You couldn't help but laugh.
"Then come inside, boyfriend." You pressed a quick kiss to his lips and pulled him through the door before he could overthink it. "and next time just say you want to see me, okay?"
"I have flowers in my car.”
