Chapter 9 ~A Blue Orchid, Not a Rose~

-*Garroth POV*-

I wake up.


It's not my bed, but I don't even remember falling asleep. Was that actually just a dream? Just a very vivid and amazing dream? I should've known. It was too good to be true. He can't actually love me. I'm just his best friend. That's all it will ever be. I start sobbing. Crying all over this random bed. He's usually in my dreams, and they don't effect me really, except this time. This time is different. I was crying harder, staining the black comforter. I hear a door slam open into the room, but I ignore it, gripping onto the comforter.

"Garroth?!" A man's voice screams and I feel the bed drop a bit beside me. I don't care. That dream was too real and I can't take them anymore. The man hugs my torso tightly, and I try everything I can to get him off.

"L-LET GO O-OF ME!"

"Garroth! Calm down! It's me Laurance!" I stop trying to shake him off and just stare down at the bed. "Gar...what's wrong..?" He's still holding me, but gentler now. I don't say anything. How can I? I actually thought he confessed those fake feelings. It was just a dream to screw me up even more. "...Babe..." He murmurs softly and I jolt up in confusion. Babe? Another dream huh?

"Why are you calling me babe?" My question came out cold and serious. He let go of my torso, but placed his hands firmly on my shoulders to force me to look at him, which I tried not to.

"Did you forget...?" He sounds sad and his face is contorted with confusion.

"Forget what Laurance?" My tone doesn't lose its ice and he just sighs at me.

"I confessed to you yesterday...you're my...boyfriend..." Okay, so I'm still in a dream. Great. "No. You're not in a dream. I know what you're thinking." He smiles at me and I just stare at him in shock.

"I-If it w-was real...t-then we w-w-were going to k-k-kiss..." I gulped sadly, remembering nothing except leaning in.  He laughs lightly and looks at me warmly.

"Heh...yeah...about that..."

-Earlier, Laurance POV-

We were about to kiss. I was about to kiss a guy, a guy who's my best friend. I looked at Garroth's face and it was in a cold sweat. He was pale and looked sick. He squeaked then collapsed in my arms, passed out. Of course. I should've realized he would pass out right? Sigh. I carried him bridal style this time, unlike before where I would carry him like Santa's gift sack. Aw he's so peaceful when he's sleeping, let me ruin that. Now of course I thought it would be fun to pretend to drop him and such.

"How are you not awake yet?" I laughed and he was still silent. I didn't watch where I was going, nor realize that I reached the door to my bedroom. "Oh no! I'm losing my grip! I'm going to have to drop you!" I laughed again and pretended to drop him, except it was different.

His head smashed into the doorknob.

I'm officially the worst boyfriend in the world. He probably has a concussion now.

-Present Time, Garroth POV-

"You fainted before we could even kiss babe." He laughs again and I blush bright red. I have to get used to him calling me stuff like that, and I guess I should start too. I'm such a little fanboy right now. "Oh I uh...can call you that right?" He smiles sheepishly, and I nod at him while snaking my arms around his neck, to his surprise. The tears were gone, and were replaced with a bright smile. He smiles wider and places his hands on my waist. He then sighs deeply. "Ugh...if I do this I'll get carried away, and that's not fair to you..." I smirk then do something not even I expected.


I smashed my lips onto his.


He was stunned at first, but soon smiled during the kiss, soon melting into it. Our lips moved in sync with each other and I felt heat surge through my body. It's all I had ever dreamed of, but better. We brake apart, saliva connecting between our panting mouths. Our foreheads are connected and we're both smiling widely.

"God dammit Garroth. I was supposed to kiss you first." He says in between panting breaths.

"Heh...you'll have to be quicker next time sweetheart."

"Nngh...Garroth don't pull that confident shit out..." We look into each other's eyes and I can see his face is tinted red. His weakness is my confidence huh?

"But Laurance~. You love this side of me don'tcha handsome~?" He backs away, his face full on red. Oh this is fun.

"Garroth...please...I have to pay the bills...and you're REALLY not helping."  He moves his hand to cover his face, obviously hiding his blush. It's really adorable to see him shy and nervous instead of me.

"Laur..."

"Nope! Bye!" He shouts before sprinting out of the room. "Oh and just so you know, I'll figure out your weakness. Mistakes were made!" He shouts again, but more snarky. I sigh, then slowly get out of the bed, which I now know is his. How will he find out? I'm not telling him so who could? Meh. He's just trying to get me scared. I walk into the kitchen, and sure enough he's paying the bills for his apartment. He looks really stressed, which is another reason why I want to move in. I could help him pay for it, and try to keep his stress levels down. I decide not to bother him and lay on the couch instead, checking my phone. Nothing unusual thankfully. Suddenly the twitter page is replace with "Mommy" on top of the screen. I quickly answer.

"Gar Gar! Thank you for answering! I tried calling Zu~Zu earlier, but he denied it. Anyway, I was just checking up on my boys! So how are you Gar Gar?!" My mother Zianna exclaims happily through the phone, and I smile and laugh. I always love hearing from her.

"I'm doing great, actually amazing mommy! How about you?" I thankfully lost my stutter around my mom, so she can actually understand me. I hear the sound of something dropping from the kitchen, but I ignore it.

"I'm doing great! I was thinking of visiting you boys soon actually! Oh! Before I forget, have you gotten a girlfriend yet?!" She squeals loudly through the phone, and then I hear footsteps walking up behind me. Girlfriend isn't exactly the correct word I'd use for Laurance.

"Oh..uhm..well..." I'm messing up my sentences now. I guess she forgot that I told her I'm gay. Oh boy.

"Welllllll?!" She shrieks again, but I feel soft lips placing kisses along the back of my neck. What is he doing?! I try to hold back a small moan so my mother doesn't here, but it's extremely difficult.

"Uhm...I...uh...mmph!" Laurance nipped at a part on my neck. I swear to Irene he's going to pay for this. I try shoving him away without making too much noise, but it's really hard when he won't leave my neck alone.

"Gar Gar? Are you okay?" My mother's voice turns to concern.

"W-What? I-I'm f-fine!" He keeps kissing all over my neck, trying to find my sweet spot, which I really hope he doesn't.

"You're stuttering! What's wrong?! Is there someone there?" I try giving him a death glare, but he's not paying attention to my face. Great.

"N-No! Don't worry mummy! I-..MMPH~!" He found it, and I pulled my phone to my chest trying to block out the sound. I couldn't hold back the moan that escaped my lips. We've been together for a day and he's already starting this...oh my Irene. Hopefully mom didn't hear that. I remove my phone from my chest and place it back on my ear.

"Oh I get it! Is that your girlfriend with you~?" Before I could respond, my phone's ripped out of my hand. Laurance.

"Hello this is Garroth's girlfriend speaking." Laurance says as he runs from me and into the kitchen. No this is bad! He turns the volume up on the phone so I can hear my mother, but she can't hear me unless I shout.

"Oh...uhm...I don't mean to be rude...but you...uh..." My mother's too kind to ask why my "girlfriend's" voice is so deep. Sigh.

"Oh! Mrs. Ro'meave I'm not actually his girlfriend."

"Oh! Then who am I speaking to?" She asks questionably. I try reaching for my phone, but he keeps pulling it away. Ugh!

"His sexy boyfriend. I'm Laurance by the way!" I hear a loud squeal from my phone, and Laurance moves it away from his ear so his ear doesn't start bleeding.

"Laurance! Give me my phone back!" I scream at him, and I'm assuming my mom heard because she starts giggling.

"What? What's wrong with getting to know my boyfriend's mother? Who's a very sweet lady by the way." He's so dead, so very dead.

"Well you seem like a very nice man for my lil' Gar~Gar! I hope to meet you in person soon Laurance!"

"I hope to meet you soon as well Mrs. Ro'meave. Your son is beyond perfect." I blushed at the comment and whimpered away, leaving him with a plastered smirk on his face. They hang up and I give him a death glare. "Uhm...so...GARROTH PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!!!" He pleads jokingly, kneeling on the ground.

"I won't if..." I pause for effect, smirking.

"IF WHAT?! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!" He fake sobs on the floor.

"If you take me out on a date tonight." He gets off the floor immediately and smiles at me.

"Sounds like a win for me! Oh! We can go to dinner like fancy people!" We both laugh.

"Can't wait." I smile genuinely at him, and he smiles back.

"Okay I'm going to finish these bills up before I have no place to live. Then I'm going to shower, make myself look sexy, then take you on the best date you've ever had. I'll pick you up at 7," He gives me a quick hug and a wink, then goes back to finishing his bills. Well, guess I should start getting ready.

-Dante POV-

"Do you think Garroth and Laurance are dead?" Travis, Katelyn, Aphmau, Aaron, and I are all at the girls' house hanging out when I ask the question.

"Probably." Katelyn says, continuing to sip her tea.

"Nah they're making out. I bet you 20 dollars." Travis states confidently and we all look at him shocked.

"What makes you so sure of that?" I question him, and he smirks. It's never good when he smirks. Never.

"Well I basically set them up. I mean come on, the princess and prince cliché, they're always holding hands, and most importantly the cuddling at the sleepover. It's pretty obvious they're hiding their relationship." When the hell did he figure this all out? Where's the Travis I know? I was about to say something, but someone burst through the door of the basement.

"Oh sorry guys! Was just heading to work." There stood the youngest Ro'meave, and also the best of the three. The outgoing and playful Vylad.

"Oh okay Vylad! We'll see you later then?" It looks like Vylad wasn't paying attention. He was staring straight at me, and I was staring straight at him. "..Vylad..? Dante...?" I give a warm smile, and his face flushes red. He turns away quickly and focuses his attention back on Aphmau.

"O-Oh! Y-Y-Yeah! B-B-Bye!" He sprinted out the door, slamming it quickly behind him.

"Since when did he turn into Garroth?" Aaron asks with concern in his tone, and I shrug. I made him flustered. Me. No way he actually likes me? Hmm...if he does then Laurance won't be the only Casanova to gain a Ro'meave.

-*Laurance POV*-

I finally finished those stupid ass bills and now I can get ready to take my blondie for the best date ever. I rush to my bedroom, getting ready quickly, so I can pick Garroth up from his house. He had to go get different clothes even though I said what he was wearing was fine. I pick my most formal attire. A navy blue button-up with a soft, slim-fitted leather jacket on top, along with black dress pants and a leather belt. Now to deal with my mess of a hair, which I try everything to style it perfectly. Ok I'm ready. Just gotta pop some mints into my mouth so I can try to get another kiss in~. I grab my keys and rush outside to my mustang, and drive to the florist. Thanks to my fast car, I made it quickly and was standing face to face with a nice middle-aged woman.

"Hello! How may I help you today?" She asks sweetly, but probably angry inside because I was showing up at 6:45 at night.

"I'd like to purchase a bouquet for a date tonight." She brightens up even more and starts to look through some rose bouquets behind her. "Oh I uh don't want them to be roses heh. Trying to be different."

"Oh sorry for just assuming! I've just never heard anyone ask for anything but roses for dates. Anyway, have an idea what you'd like instead?" I smile and nod my head.

"Do you have any stunning blue flowers in a bouquet? Sorry let me rephrase that. Uhm. Any bouquet that has blue flowers that aren't roses or tulips?" She smiles then tells me to hold on before walking into the back. She comes out a few minutes later with the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen. Tying the stems together was a large blue ribbon, and the flowers were just what I wanted. There were various types of white flowers, but what stood out were the blue flowers peeking above them. The flower has various shades of blue then purple and I couldn't keep my eyes off of them.

"Well we usually use these for weddings, but I think you and your date will like them. They're blue orchids by the way." She smiles again, and places it in front of me. "Would you like to buy it?"

"Yes. How could I not? They're perfect for him." She looks at me shocked, but that shock turns to happiness quickly.

"Him? Are you sure he would like flowers?" She giggles a bit before looking back at me.

"He better! Otherwise I'm keeping them for myself!" I yell proudly, while I take my wallet out to pay for the bouquet. I hand her the money, and pick the bouquet up, admiring it.

"Well whoever he is, he's very lucky. Not many people will get a wedding bouquet on their date."

"Well what can I say, I like to be different. Thank you again. I may be back again if he does end up liking it."

"Then I'll be the florist for the wedding!" She laughs. "Just kidding. I won't force you to choose me!"

"Oh you'll be the first hired if that wedding ever is to happen." She nods and I walk out, then place the bouquet in the passenger seat and start driving to the guys' house. He'll like it right? It's not weird. I mean yeah it's the first date, but he's special. I really want this to turn out good. I usually dread going on any sort of date, but it's different this time. I really want to go on this date. Badly. I just hope he does too. Hopefully it doesn't ruin our relationship. Laurance! What are you thinking?! He kissed you earlier and you're his boyfriend! Why wouldn't he want to? I eventually reach the house, and so I grab the bouquet, close the car door, then walk up to the front door. Okay don't get nervous now. You can do this. If anyone else but Garroth opens the door, hide the bouquet and say you have to bring him to a work meeting or something maybe? I'm actually sweating. Why am I getting so nervous? I'm a grown man not a teenager in high school. Well maybe a teen at heart, but still.

I shakily knock on the wooden door, and silently pray that it'll be Garroth who answers. I just want this date to go well. I want it to be the best date he'll ever have, even if somehow we break up. I want him to remember it, and remember me. That's why I didn't want to buy roses. It needs to be original, not cliché. He deserves it, and he needs to know that. I need to make it up to him for being a blind and stupid idiot. I stand there waiting for someone to answer, and soon enough the door begins to creak open.

So the night begins.


Sorry I didn't update yesterday! I was supposed to and I apologize for not doing that. Well I hope you like it because I was glad I could bring one of my favorite flowers into the story. Hope you all liked it, and I'll see you in the next chapter as soon as I get it out! Have an amazing day my friends :3
