What had he been thinking! None of these flowers for DOOPLISS? How could he! This oversight needed to be corrected post-haste. It would make him feel so rotten inside not to give him one. Heck, he should have a whole bouquet ready for him!
"I... um, no, but..." No matter how in love he was, he couldn't eliminate any of his friends in favor of his crush just because he forgot! That would be irresponsible. But he really really wanted to give one to Doopliss...! It was killing him inside. "Sorry! I'm really sorry! It must have slipped my mind!" He clutched them really close to his chest almost in an effort to conceal his flustered self. "I'm kind of wondering if... maybe I could make it up to you some other way?"
I'll say!
