    Summary

    Colin's brothers, helpful sorts that they are, decide there's only one cure for his lingering virginity: a trip to a brothel.

    The plan goes about as well as expected.

    Convinced he's the only man in England incapable of wanting a stranger, Colin spends the next week wondering if something is terribly wrong with him.

    Then Penelope Featherington makes one scandalously amusing joke, and Colin discovers that perhaps the problem was never a lack of desire.

    Perhaps he's simply been in love with his best friend.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Erm… well… fuck. Ok. Colin.” She clears her throat. “I’m so sorry, but this is a call of shame.”

    “A what?”

    “A call of shame. I might… I might have chlamydia.”

    “Oh.” MY FUCKING GOD. He doesn’t say that part out loud but he thinks it very loudly. “Ok.” She’s going to be freaking out.

    “No. No, not ok. Not ok at all. We fucked!”

    “I remember.” It is absolutely top of the wank bank.

    “And not like sensible adults.”

    “I remember that too.” If felt fucking incredible.

    “So you might have chlamydia.”

    “I understand how STIs work, Pen.”

    Summary

    It's maybe not something he should be doing for his friend. It is maybe too much, not normal, but Colin likes how it makes him feel. For two months a year he gets to be a man who has a girl to buy flowers for. Sometimes when the florist says for your girlfriend? he will say yeah, and when they say lucky girl he will say yeah, yeah she is or I'm the lucky one and for a few moments he is another person entirely, a man with a purpose and a life and a warm flat with a pretty girl in it, waiting upside down on the sofa for her peonies with her hair trailing.

    Better than the reality, that he is a thirty-two year old loser with no job (which is why he can afford to be loping around the city all day looking for flowers). No job no girlfriend no point.

    It is the happiest he is all year.
