Are you up?

Woody
Just woke up.

Buzz
Nightmares?

Woody
No, I was just thinking
a lot before going to sleep,
so it probably messed up
my head and wake me up.

Buzz
Is Shai with you?

Woody
Nah, she dropped me off
earlier and went back to
her flat immediately.

Woody
I don't want her to spend
the night here since her
boyfriend is currently
in town.

Buzz
Oh, I see. . .

Buzz
Nessa, uh, can we talk? I know
it's not the right time, but I can't
hide away what I want to say to
you any longer.

Buzz
I'm really sorry if this is still too
awkward between us, we haven't
spoken properly since December,
and I want to fix that.

Woody
Ben.

Buzz
Yeah?

Woody
Butterfly weed.

Buzz
D:

Buzz
Give me 15 mins.

THERE WAS A BEAT OF SILENCE ROCKING BACK AND FORTH IN THE AERIAL, DROWSINESS ALMOST BARELY BRUSHED OFF SHANESSA'S ENTIRE SOUL AS SHE STARED AT BEN WHO WAS CURRENTLY WHIPPING UP A BOWL OF RAMYEON FOR HER. The girl had no idea when was the last time they did this, visiting each other's place at the time that should be used to get into a deep slumber without having to feel awkward.

After three months of not contacting each other, only leaving one or two comments on their social media accounts and met for a brief moment, Ben eventually razed down his walls and attempted to fix what was broken between them. Though on Shanessa's part, she did not entirely ignore Ben because they talked to each other on a daily basis through Bumblebee.

But, it didn't feel the same because Shanessa was the one who longed to talk to him, not Bumblebee.

Upon saw Ben standing in front of her door exactly fifteen minutes after he sent his last message while holding a bouquet of Primrose, which had a meaning I can't live without you — one that was inversely proportional to the meaning of Butterfly Weed, Shanessa's heart ached. He still remembers how to answer that.
