#complicated

"Its #complicated." I said at last. "You don't get it."

"I do I understand you completely." She told me. "And you just need some time."

"Yes I need time." I sighed "What I feel for you, is, is everything."

"It shouldn't be complicated, we love each other. And I'm inlove with you. It's as simple as that. You react to the word love as if it were poison to your ears."

She brushed away hair behind my ear and touched my chin as if she would kiss my forbidden lips.

Wincing in the morning light, the rookie surveyed the room. The #aftermath of last night was all too apparent. With his boss absent, he'd enjoyed the office party even more than usual.

Sighing, he made for the cleaning cupboard. He unlocked the door.

A man toppled out, landing in a crash of mops, brooms and pails.

"Sir!"

"Merry Christmas, lad."

"But what happened?"

The detective groaned, clutching his head. "It's... #complicated."

She liked things complicated. High-dimensional spaces, category theory. Anything non-Euclidean.

He liked things complicated too. Secrets, drama. Infidelity and true love all at once. Kicking up a fuss, to get to the good stuff under all the politeness.

They did get together, but it was not easy. Which, by all accounts, would have been just as they liked it.

The #MastoPrompt for Wednesday 25 December 2024 is:

#complicated

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you're able to.
