Perhaps it had been a blessing that she had done what she had done. At least now everything was in the open.
He looked away as soon as he noticed Evan’s blushing. Jude hadn’t meant to embarrass him. He absently poked at one of the C-Sharp keys so that a brief off-note melody was heard. “Yes,” came his reply. Dare he look up again lest he embarrass Evan further? “It hurt too much to be around you and I didn’t want to be mopey. You know?” Jude sighed and looked up again. “But I miss your company. I miss listening to music and doing homework with you.” And that was a fact that he could no longer deny. "Not sure if you want to hang out with me now... now that you know."
There was a nod from the Hufflepuff. Valentina and Evan didn’t work out, he got that. He also got that there was no place for him being more than a friend in Evan’s life. “I know. It’s okay, Ev. I don't blame you.” It pained him to make that admission but he was also determined not to be a crybaby about it.
His first heartbreak.
Ouch 
He watched him play a note on the piano, feeling his face slowly begin to return to it's normal temperature.
"I understand." He wanted to apologize again, but he figured at some point that would also get offensive since the Hufflepuff had already stated it was fine. Even if it probably wasn't fine, this wasn't something he could fix immediately. Why would he not want to hang out with him? His head tilted a bit, considering the last statement. Jude's feelings did not make him uncomfortable, it's not as anyone chose their feelings. Evan just didn't want to make things any worse for Jude by unintentionally hurting him more.
"I miss hanging out too. And I don't have a problem still being friends. I would like to but... I also don't want you to have to do something that would cause you any type of distress."
At least Evan knew with certainty he would not be dating for awhile, so that shouldn't pose any complications. And even if feelings did develop for someone, he would not pursue until he was more stable. And who knew where Jude would be in his own feelings by then? Or if it would even happen? He'd just be careful not to bring it up. And even if he said he didn't blame him, well Evan almost wished he did because maybe then that would have been easier for the Anders.
