And maybe a bit to prove to himself, and to others, that he COULD be exactly the kind of boyfriend a girl wants. That he could attach himself solely to one person, and that it could be fun and that he was good enough to be more than some secret that nobody knew about.
Not even her best friend.
No really. Talk about something else now.
A year ago. Well at least it was way before she had met him... so chances were she wasn't a rebound thing here. However, she could tell he still had strong feelings for Neptune. She just wasn't going to push him about it anymore... for now.
"Sure, we can talk about something else now."
Or maybe not talk.
Leaning in she gave him a kiss... you know to make him forget about that conversation they had just had.
"So, who's the friend you were talking to in the library?" You know, the one it looked like you were flirting with. She asked as she broke away from that mouth of his. Her fit of jealousy had passed but she was still curious about who the girl was... and why he didn't introduce them.
