Corner Shop
Moss walked along the street with both hands shoved in his pockets. He intended on taking as long as he possibly could so that he didn't have to spend too much time having to deal with the sexual tension in the basement. He shook his head as he realised Richmond was also headed to the shop.
"Richmond ? Why aren't you behind the red door?"
The goth shook his head dramatically as Moss raised an eyebrow.
"I had to leave."
"The isolation?"
"No, Jen and Roy are being very weird. I don't like it. They seem odd."
Moss nodded. Odd he understood. He was odd, to most people. The behaviour of Jen and Roy had clearly been out of character and noticed by more people than he thought.
"How do you mean? Odd?"
"I think." Richmond stared off into space. "I think it's the unrequited sexual tension between them. It's getting too much now."
"I know what you mean. Roy is smitten."
"He always defends her." Richmond agreed. "And that's the third clean t shirt I've seen him wear this week."
"And it's only Tuesday." Moss nodded. "He likes her, she likes him. Why don't they just you know!"
Richmond sighed. "The heart is a fragile little thing. They may not think they are compatible."
"They are!" Moss protested.
"Oh they so are." Richmond agreed. "So what can we do about it? I can't stay out here all day. The sun, might make me lose my pale and interesting pallor."
Moss rolled his eyes. "I have a plan. Cmon." He lead the goth away as he hoped Roy wouldn't kill him for what he was about to do.

"Roy?" Jen stepped out of her office. "Where's Moss?"
"I dunno and I don't care." Roy sulked. Jen smiled, recognising one of Roy's sulks immediately. "What?"
"You are quite sexy when you pout."
"I don't pout." He glared as the rest of the words sank in. "You think I'm quite sexy?"
"Occasionally." Jen smiled. "Especially when you think you let me win at guitar hero but you know I smashed you." She bit her lip as he looked aghast.
"I always let you win."
"If you say so."
"I do. But it's quite sweet that you play computer games with me." He watched her blush. "Not played guitar hero with any other girl." He stepped towards her, slightly more confident than he had been. "Jen?"
"What?"
"You said. To be continued."
"I did. I wasn't going to carry on snogging you like that when Moss was there!"
Roy laughed. "I should hope not." Jen smiled as he approached her. "What is going on?"
"Why do you hate every man I date?"
Roy held her gaze. "Because they're all losers that don't deserve you. And they always hurt you."
She rested a hand on his chest. "Roy."
"And I know you deserve better."
"Are you jealous?"
"Me? No."
"I was." She paused. "When you had dates."
"Really?" She nodded as he touched her face before kissing her gently. Her arms wrapped around him as Douglas appeared in the doorway. Neither of the couple saw him, or the anger on his face. Roy broke away from Jen as she smiled.
"We can do this? Can't we? Be together." He tried to keep the nerves out of his voice. Jen smiled and nodded.
"Yeah. I think so."
