"Daydreaming?" A gentle voice cut Jasper's thought out, making him paying attention to the owner of the voice.

"Uh, yeah, sorry…" he said, somehow quite embarrassed for being caught daydreaming while the object of his daydreaming was right beside him.

"Uhm… It's alright… I mean, it can be quite boring—"

"—No! No, no, I mean, being with you isn't boring, Edward. You know sometimes my thoughts are flying on its own and…" Jasper stopped his ramble as he realized that Edward started to chuckle because of his sentence. "Oh, well, alright, go on, laugh all you want," Jasper huffed playfully. It only sent Edward to another bout of laugh.

As he reveled on Edward's voice of laughter, Jasper reminded himself of what he was doing right now. After that first meeting, Jasper had tried to talk with Edward. Having gained enough courage even to ask his number though Jasper knew that Rosalie and especially Emmett would tease him to death after that.

One text led to a call which led to a meeting and here they were in the umpteenth meeting way in the Summer as they had a little holiday. They were not close enough as much as Jasper wanted though. Still, it was enough for Jasper to meet often with Edward with the excuses of having to rant about students. Oh, hey! Jasper was still able to meet him and be amazed by Edward everytime. That surely made his day!

"Hey, earth to Jazzie," Edward called out. Jasper once again huffed when he realized that he had gone away daydreaming on his own again. "Where do you go this time? Mars? Jupiter?" he laughed again.

"Yeah, I'm going to Venus this time," Jasper answered as he ate his fries. Edward grinned and stole the fries.

"Sounds fun. Any civilization over there?"

"Yeah, I was having fun with a whole bunch of beautiful girls." Edward chuckled again and picked on his waffle.

They were sitting on a café for a brunch in the corner of the café. Jasper could not comprehend why Edward always chose to sit on the corner but he could not just ask him about it too, right? He had a feeling that it was quite private for Edward.

"You want to ask something," Edward stated as he looked right to Jasper's eyes. Jasper himself only scratched his hair nervously. "You can ask, you know."

"Well, yeah, not sure, Ed." Jasper's answer made Edward raised his eyebrow in expectation. He knew, he would ask Edward, anyway. "Nah, was just wondering why you always chose the corner to sit on. That's it…"

Edward took a drink and coughed a little before he sighed and shrugged. Going back to his waffle, Edward tried to decide whether he should tell Jasper or not. After all, Jasper had told him quite some things about his past relationships.

"You don't need to answer," Jasper said. "I don't mind, I just wonder. That's it."

"Yeah, I know… but I think you might need to know, anyway."

"Hey, you don't have any obligations for it, you know," Jasper stopped Edward from telling him. Knowing that forcing Edward to tell him was not the right thing to do. Edward needed to tell him about whatever it was on his own term.

"Well, actually, it's not like I make it into a super-secret secret… Alice knows about it, she guesses it right and your twin seems to realize it too, so… yeah, I can at least tell my friend about it too," Edward tried to answer nonchalantly. On the other side, Jasper's mind was kind of floored of hearing Edward considered him as a friend. He had a feeling that if possible, he would jumped like a kid on Christmas Day. It was not that he never thought Edward would consider him a friend but more because Alice and Rosalie had reminded him time and time again that Edward would not want to go anywhere near him if Edward knew Jasper wanted a relationship with him.

A weak slap on his forearm brought Jasper back to reality. A grin that had decorated Edward's face made Jasper sighed and grumbled.

"Don't you dare say any word about daydreaming."

"I'm not! You say that word yourself!" Edward exclaimed, followed by a wide grin.

"I say 'any word about…'!" Jasper replied.

"But you still say that word."

"Oh, fine," Jasper finally said and rolled his eyes. The grin still existed on Edward's face.

"Right, so I'm still going to tell you," Edward finally said though he was more relaxed now. Jasper pursed his lips, not sure about it, but he nodded otherwise. "Well, I'm going to make it short… Since I was in high school, many people are interested with me and, well, I was a teenager wanting to explore myself, so, well… there were times where I accept people's advance on me for a… quickie… kind of… Then, someone happened…"

"He hurt you and now you feel like hiding from everything…" Jasper interrupted, not a question as much as a statement. Edward gave him a smile, a self-deprecating one. "I'm not sure this is what you wanna hear… but I kinda know what you mean… I mean, you know my story with Seth. I was serious with him but before? I always tried to seduce people, I wanted to know how I could interest others on me and… well, I took pride on it."

"Seth happened and you closed yourself, sulked, and pouted all around the house," Edward continued, using the exact same word Rosalie and Emmett had said many times when they were teasing Jasper. He knew Edward was trying to make the mood happier so Jasper went with it and scoffed.

"You don't need to copy Rose and Em on it."

"Yes, kiddo, go and sulk all you want, kid," Edward said between his grin and laugh.
