Hey, it's Alvin. Just leave a message and I'll get right back to you.

[selfmotivations]

Yeah, but you didn't tell me you two actually kissed!

1/2

[makesitbetter]

...Huh?

[makesitbetter]

[Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why is he saying it like that? Is he just trying to get a rise out of him (as usual?) Or does he actually think...]

We did but - on the cheek, Alvin! That doesn't even count for anything.

[never mind that Alvin making it apparently a big deal makes him wonder if that's really true...]

[selfmotivations]

[what. aw, now he's disappointed. MAN all he's been getting about this are misunderstandings. but still there is that grin because still.]

Kiss on the cheek with the person you like? Might not be much, but it's still something. Especially since she gave you not one, but two. [even if it was with a spirit's urging, but details.]

Milla seems to think it meant something at least.

[makesitbetter]

...She does?

[Alvin don't say vague stuff like that, now he has no idea what to think.]

[selfmotivations]

[but saying vague stuff is what he does best. though. he does have to debate on whether telling the kid everything or be mean and have him misunderstand until he asks about himself. he gets the feeling while as funny as the latter would be, it wouldn't be that helpful.

so we'll just go halvsies.]

Well I did ask if it had been her first kiss, and it was.

[makesitbetter]

But it still wasn't because it wasn't a real kiss.

[But does Milla think that too?? Did she mean for that kiss to mean more than he thought? Or is she actually just oblivious to all the implications? He can never tell what she's really thinking when she does these kinds of things.]

[selfmotivations]

But she might not have kissed anyone in any kind of way before.

[makesitbetter]

That's...



[....

...

...

...]

That's... probably true.

[selfmotivations]

You better take responsibility, Jude.

[makesitbetter]

Now you just sound like Teepo.

[selfmotivations]

[laughs.]

Hah, that's right! And I thought I was a player.

[makesitbetter]

[He's ignoring that bait, seriously Alvin.]

I don't know, Alvin. I really don't think it meant much to her beyond being an "interesting human custom." [with a bad imitation of Milla's speech patterns at the end, there.]

[selfmotivations]

What if I told you she actually blushed?

1/2

[makesitbetter]

...She did?

[That could still mean a lot of things - Milla does still get embarrassed sometimes. An extremely rare sometimes. But Milla blushing while talking about him...]

[makesitbetter]

[...This is Alvin he's talking to, though.]

You're just trying to get me worked up, aren't you?

1/2

[selfmotivations]

Maybe.

2/2

[selfmotivations]

But I also promised to stop lying.

[who knew that actually telling the truth like this could be just as entertaining. well. not that a lot of his real lies were entertaining.]

[makesitbetter]

Why does not lying somehow make you even harder to deal with than before?

[This is said with all of the affection of a friend. Really.]

[selfmotivations]

[he feels it. right in the heart.]

Maybe I'm just that difficult of a person.

[makesitbetter]

Which is why I'm going to end up hearing about this for months, right?

[Or until Alvin finds something even better to tease about. Which might not take as long.]

[selfmotivations]

Possibly.

But it's all part of helping you grow.

[makesitbetter]

While I appreciate the thought, I'm not so sure I see the connection.

[selfmotivations]

You will when you're older, trust me.

[makesitbetter]

I'll just have to suffer through your help until that happens, I guess.

[But at least the topic has successfully been diverted away from Milla's feelings.]
