Barry felt sick. He knew he wouldn't be able to work today, so he had taken today off.

And his family had no idea what day it was.

Barry sat down on the couch. He was absolutely miserable. It was his least favorite day of the year.

The anniversary of his mother's death.

And his family had forgotten.

Really didn't help.

Suddenly, he heard a knock. He almost flashed over in his haste.

He opened the door to find his boyfriend, who just happened to be holding Barry's favorite chocolates, a pillow, and Nora's favorite flowers.

Barry gasped. "You-you-you remembered!" Barry said, tears appearing in his eyes. He hugged Len as tight as he could before inviting him in.

"What's the pillow for?" Barry asked. "Punching, crying, screaming, etc," Len replied. Barry rolled his eyes.

Barry immediately pulled Len's hand toward Barry's face, but instead of kissing him, he stole the chocolates and abandoned the hand. Len looked insulted. "Chocolate interests you more than you're boyfriend?" he questioned. Barry nodded shamelessly. "It's chocolate!" he said when he saw the disappointed look on Len's face. Len rolled his eyes.

...

Within the hour, Barry completely forgot the date.

...

No one had forgotten what today was. They just figured Len was better equipped to handle it.
