[OOC: make-out only, please, as he's 15. Also awkward. Prepare for awkward.]

[Have an equally awkward 17 year old (via Stacy time) looking startled]

Wow...

Um. [Howard has an expression on like he would like to sink into the ground right now. He backs up a few feet from Kaya.]

What just happened and can it not have happened?

[Well that was just about the worst reaction ever]

I don't really know myself! And yes, we can!

[It's not you, Kaya. It's him. It's really him this time.]

Why would you do that?

[Well, no point in looking like a fool]

I wanted to. You know, you ARE handsome, Howard. Or do you just like guys? I keep forgetting that is possible.

I - uh - wh - I - no! No, I mean, not like that, I mean, I, I don't like anybody! Oh God. Oh no.

[He makes a waving motion.] Personal bubble, okay?

Kaya giggled. "Got it, personal bubble, you don't like anyone."

She would have felt bad, but in all actuality, it was really funny to her, his reaction.

"You aren't like a lot of boys your age. I can;t tell if that's a good or bad thing yet."

"It's a totally fine thing, okay?" He shrinks back a bit, reverting to the scared kid who's afraid of getting his ass kicked for something minor. "You just do that, go up and kiss random people?"

"Yeah, that's what I do, because I'm gross like that!" Kaya shot back, looking annoyed. "If I had known this would be the reaction, trust me, I wouldn't have bothered. I just thought I would get more than "ugh, get away from me."

It's a meme, she has to do it!

"No, I mean, you're not gross, that's not what this is about. Jeez." He shrugs helplessly. "Personal bubble. That's all this is about."

Kaya sighed. "You know, eventually you're going to want a girlfriend of your own. She might have a little problem with your 'personal bubble' rule."

"Maybe I won't. I haven't really thought that far ahead." Besides, there are certain people - very, very few people - who are allowed in the bubble. Presumably if he ends up in a relationship that person will get added to that tiny list. "Why, do you just not mind people getting all up in your space?"

"Well maybe you're too young for that kind of thing. And as for your question, that would depend on the kind of invasion of personal space we'd be talking about. If they were hovering over me, I'd politely ask them to stop. If they kissed me, I would ask why before I decided whether they needed a cold shower or not."

He's not, but he doesn't say that out loud. Really it's just a further extension of his trust issues - why go out intending to get close to someone when odds are they'll hurt you down the line? Better to keep that ring of people you care about as small as possible.

"So you'd be totally fine if some random person came up and kissed you."

Meme is cruel, yes. kaya_waterwave June 5 2011, 02:38:47 UTC
"Maybe not, but I'd probably start with asking them why they did it to begin with. To be honest, I'm not out to hurt you or do anything to you...I hardly know why I did it, but I'm not feeling bad about it. I'm sorry it made you feel so uncomfortable."
