Drewett, in fact, did find solace in the thought of no longer having to sacrifice any of his shirts. However, should the occasion arise, he wouldn't mind. Those were usually unexpected events, were they not? He preferred a not-crying Nina, but he would be there for a crying Nina too. He knew how awful it would be to feel a certain way and not have people around. Likewise, he'd respect if she didn't want him around too.

And if anything, Drewett never meant to be confusing. He was the type of guy who wanted to hear what everyone had to say, half because he didn't really like doing most of the talking and half because he didn't want anyone to feel shut out. Neither did he mean to be confused himself as well. It was probably just in his nature, and he was truly trying to be less oblivious when it came to girls.

But apparently he had dug himself a hole he was not prepared to dig deeper into. It was only then when he realised he had asked about boys and now, the tables had turned. Welp.

"I-I'm not interested in pictures of b-boys," Drewett helpfully pointed out, though he was now slowly realising that this would be a difficult way out of the hole he had just dug for himself. "You just weren't b-being specific, so I assumed...." Was it bad to assume? Probably. And no, he was not going to look summer edition photos unless he was subjecting himself into another Blushing Drewett mess. Not today. He was glad for the sort of shift in discussion about his trousers and his unpleasant experience of growing up. "R-Rather inconvenient, actually, but...really?" It was a dumb question because how could anyone miss it? He had grown an inch and a half since he started his fourth year.
She appreciated that about him. While his bedside manners weren't exactly the best (far from it), he tried and for that, she would be forever grateful. Most people just turned the other way. She was a stranger, and yet he stopped. It took slight prompting and a few dramatic sighs, but in the end he helped. He didn't even know her and he did that. That's how she knew he was good. He was one of the good ones. And the fact of the matter was that she probably would be a crying Nina some more... Let's face it, she's been a crying Nina a lot lately. And when it happens this next time around, she probably would seek him out. On purpose.

Which was perhaps more telling than anything else she could do or say. Because typically, she wouldn't want ANYONE seeing her in that state. With mascara running down her cheeks, looking as if she was an absolute mess, life falling apart. She liked people to think she had it together. She was one of those. But did secretly envy those who felt comfortable enough to be messy and confused in public. Like Drewet!

Being confused is in his nature. It was actually very admirable and far from anything Nina would ever let happen to herself. Besides, there was a difference between faking a lack of intelligence and straight up digging yourself into holes.

"It wouldn't be weird if you were," incase he needed to hear that. She didn't think he did.... But now Nina Castillo wasn't entirely sure? Had she really missed the signs this whole time!? Please. No. For the love of lipgloss, please no. "Assumptions are dangerous things to make," she said knowingly. She gave him her classic eye roll, meant to be far more playful than it was to be mean. His question was ridiculous and she was sure he knew it. "No." She attempted to keep a straight face, but her eyes were an absolute giveaway.
