"Yeah, that might help. So, obviously I think you're awesome, and cute, and attractive. I like you, in short. But, well. There was a girl in my own freshman year, and I really liked her and was not all that shy in telling her. She'd say just enough to keep me thinking she might like me back, but she was saving everything: texts, DMs, writing down what I said to her aloud, and a lot of it was rather personal. Stuff that all the boys would say is too mushy or what have you. I know that she was saving everything because the last day of freshman year, she released everything to the whole school. I spent the entire summer holed up here with no internet because of that, but they still humiliated me every time I left. Only Jack had my back. So from then on, no matter how much I liked a girl, no matter how much I...wanted them..." Isaac blushed a bit here, and it was clear he wasn't being very platonic with the term, "I kept my mouth shut. Until you came to town and picked up that stone. Like it was magic or something, or maybe it was something about you. Either way." He took a deep breath. "I'm not gonna hide how I feel anymore." Isaac got up, took the few steps over to where Jules was, and leaned down slowly, giving them the chance to push him away; if they did not, he would kiss them on the lips, gently, but not nearly as fleeting as their first kiss.
