Syed blushed as the box clattered into the trolley; fists clenched, twitching uncomfortably.
"You okay?" a hand landed on his shoulder.
"I'm fine…it's just…"
"I know," fingers squeezed reassuringly. "Give it time, eh?"
Christian moved to tuck the offending box away - but Syed caught him.
"Do we have to?"
A frown creased Christian's brow.
"But you…"
"I mean…do we need them?"
Realisation dawned; surprise; curiosity.
"We always have before."
"Yeah, but that was…" a smile tugged at Syed's mouth. "…before."
Fingers suddenly caught his own, threading them together.
"You sure?"
"I trust you."
And that, they knew, was everything.
Okay, I was deliberately vague with this one. But I'm sure you'll understand what it's about - sometimes, its not about being explicit. I hope it worked!
