When Jervis met billy
Jervis Tetch was a smart man.
He may not have been good at social situations but he was smart and occasionally had a moment when he hit a non work related situation on the money.
That's why when he got to work that day he guessed what had happened before alice joyfully confirmed it.
Alice had a new beau.
Even before she had spoken he knew that much. The signs were all there.
She was humming more then usual.
She seemed extremely cheery.
There was a piece of paper on her desk that had a list of romantic resteraunts in gotham. No he hadn't snooped he had just HAPPENED to see it.
Then she had turned to him and said it "Oh jervis, I have the most incredible news! I;ve met someone!"
He swore he could HEAR his hear rip in half at those wods.
It hurt him so badly. Like a jabberwocky had torn out his still beating heart before stompig it inot the ground.
Oh! She was looking at him expectedly. Right he was her friend, he had to say something.
"That's wonderful my dear. Absoulutly crablouse" he said forcing a smile
She giggled as he went on. "You can tell me all about him when we have lunch today."
She suddenly looked uneasy "I…Can't…I'm having lunch with billy."
Jervis felt a flash of anger and sadness but both were smothered by the distraught look on her face.
"It's alright my dear. He is your beau after all. We can talk about it over tea this afternoon" he said wanting her to smile again.
Alice nodded "I'll look forward to it." she said before turning back to her typing.
He walked into his lab planning drown himself for work and forget his mimsy situation.
Later on he met the boy.
He could have avoided it if he hadn't run out of tea near lunchtime.
He was walking to the kitchen for water when he saw him.
Tall .
Well built.
Black hair.
Only about 5 years her senior IF that.
And Alice was hugging him
Yes…this was him….her new suitor.
"Jervis!" Alice said joyfully and jerivs inwardly curesed knowing he couldn't leave without meeting him now.
"Jervis this is Billy."
The young man held out a hand "Pleased to meet you"
Jervis swallowed and shook it "Charmed" He manged
Alice leaned against billy. "I'll see you after lunch ok?
Jerivis manged a nod and watched them walk off, arms around each other.
He hated it.
But alice was so happy.
He turned and went back to his lab not getting the water.
He didn't feel like tea anymore.
