"It's not funny," Kouji snapped as J.P., and Tommy erupted into laughter. "It's a little funny," Zoe admitted as she giggled, "but they are dating, so it's natural that they-"
"I know they kiss, but I didn't need to see it," Kouji declared with a blush, regretting opening his mouth and confiding to his friends as to why he was agitated, when he arrived at J.P.'s house for gaming night. He also regretted that he had not only left his phone at Takuya's house to begin with but had forgotten that they were having a date night.
"Well… it could have been worse," J.P. stated after he got his chuckles under control. "How? What could have been worse? I'm lucky that they didn't realize I was there… it's the only thing that makes forgetting my phone bearable," the sixteen-year-old said in response. "French kissing," Zoe cut in with a small smirk, her eyes alit with mischief.
"To be fair, they also could have been doing other stuff," J.P. said after a moment, which caused a choked "What," to spill out of Kouji, while Zoe found herself rapidly blinking, and Tommy to flush a bright red. "I mean," J.P. said in response as he found himself blushing, "They are dating and those who date do things, hold hands, kiss, French kiss, or even other things like hands and mou- …." He ended up trailing off in embarrassment and awkwardness as he abruptly remembered that not only was he discussing two of his friends, but that Kouji was now looking at him in horror.
"Or butt stuff," the youngest stated, which caused shouts of "Tommy" to erupt from the others, as the young brunette slapped his hands over his mouth. After a stunned silence, Tommy started waving his hands, "Well I mean… isn't that how it works?" His face seemed even burn a deeper red, which nothing to the thousand-yard stare within Kouji's eyes.
"Okay, that's enough," Zoe declared with a clap, abruptly cutting her honorary little brother off. "Well… as J.P. said… it could have been worse…. I'm going to get snacks." As she headed to the kitchen, the three boys remained in the living room, with J.P. wishing he had kept his mouth shut.
