It's weird, how fast time can go by without you noticing it's done it. A year ago, Chris cut across streets, behind a church and its graveyard and found his own grave marker, sat there next to his brother's like it belonged. It was fucked, and it still is— he knows the markers are still there 'cause he's checked— but the day had turned out brilliant, in the end.

He doesn't know if he and Cissie ever would've kissed if it hadn't been for all that, so while it's fuckin' awful that it happened, he can't be angry about it, not really. He's got someone he loves now, more than almost anyone, and that probably wouldn't have happened without all that.

Chris turns up at Cassie's flat without calling ahead for once, two tambourines that he bought from that one store in one hand and flowers in the other. He can't remember the last time he brought someone flowers, but he should've done it before now.

He knocks on the door with his foot, since his hands are both full of stuff, but finds that it swings open, which is fuckin' weird.

"Cissie?" he calls, frowning, and walks in.

Maybe there are some people who'd think it's a bit backwards that he and Cissie haven't really had a proper date, a proper dinner since they got together, but people have always thought of Chris as a bit backwards anyway. It's not that having dinner at Olive and Wardo's didn't count, because it does, only it sort of doesn't all at the same time.

Either way, Chris is dead set on remedying all of that tonight.

He's not a good cook, by any definition of the word, but he's dead set on giving it a go.

Though, when there's a knock at the door, he's got flour on his face and in his hair, and something in the oven's burning.

"It's unlocked!" Chris shouts, and really, he wanted to be done by the time Cissie turned up, but right now he'll settle for keeping his flat from bursting into flames.
