WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX.

I'd rather be boring and elegant than exciting and sloppy.

[blinged]

But you've know I'm the picture of refinement! I've no reason to make a fool out of myself.

[weddingcupcake]

That's in public.

[blinged]

There's a reason they say "behind closed doors," right? You don't have to worry about anything else.

[weddingcupcake]

Give me the other book.

[he is having none of this!]

[blinged]

[Flips it open to page through it]

But you haven't told me what they're for yet!

[weddingcupcake]

It's studying potential sources of clean energy. If we're going to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, the people on this planet need to find a different direction, don't you think?

[blinged]

Naturally! Tackling such a thing on your own accord... you can be pretty cool in your own weird way.

[weddingcupcake]

I don't want to live in a world that survives by feeding on the waste of its previous failures.

[blinged]

And so you'll use your research to usher in a new era, right?

[Still hanging on to that last book]

[weddingcupcake]

Yes. So give it back.

[blinged]

How's about a trade?

[weddingcupcake]

[that sounds suspicious]

...What kind of trade?

[blinged]

I'll return this to you if you let me join your study session! I'm that bored!

[weddingcupcake]

No thank you.

[blinged]

...really?

[Huff huff]

What a pain - then how am I supposed to give this thing back?

[weddingcupcake]

You should give it back because you shouldn't have taken it in the first place.

[blinged]

And what about me? I'd be left bored and empty handed.

[weddingcupcake]

You have a lot of friends, don't you...?

[blinged]

Of course I do, but you're the one I'd like to spend time with.

[weddingcupcake]

[oh no that's embarrassing]

But-- How come?

[blinged]

Well I like you quite a bit, for starters!

[weddingcupcake]

...You do?

[count him both confused and flustered!]

[blinged]

[He hugs the book to his chest and nods. The sincerity is viscerally there, but logically debatable]

You're strange and stuffy, but it's cute.

[weddingcupcake]

You shouldn't call other boys cute. We're past that age, aren't we?

[because 13 is very grown up!!]
