Well. I've... noticed this thing Peter does when he's around me? He kind of... starts fiddling with his ears a lot? But he gets all awkward and shy if I ask him about it.
I mean, you don't need to be? It's alright? Please take no offence but... boys are... strange.
[ Boys are definitely strange. ]
So you do the ear thing too? When you're with Clementine?
The thing is, I'm not even doing him half the time. Well, I don't think I am? Like one time he did it, I was only showing him my school uniform from home?
[ Luna, you also changed clothes in front of him. Well, behind him.
I think you over-estimate me. That's more 'mysteries of the universe' level kind of thought. But I'm willing to give it a try, if it'll make help me a little.
That's actually quite funny in a way, it's like you're physically trying to prompt your brain into working!!
[ ......... wait, what? ]
Wait, really? How? That's not even that weird? It's just getting changed? That's all?
I think I know what you mean? I never really has a Person, back home? I mean, I have friends. Very good friends. But I'm not sure I'd call them my Person? That's really nice, though.
[ If anything, she thinks she'd probably call Peter her Person. Even before romance came into it, they just... understood one another. ]
I suppose it wouldn't do any good in asking to get your heads out of the gutter, no?
And here I was thinking kissing was the big thing.
[ It's a huge milestone, but Merlin is there so much after that. ]
i think you're super lucky if you get one i ended up with two violet's the only one left now, though
[But not to dwell on the awfulness of his awful world:]
that is way way too much to ask we usually can't help it hormones are a cruel and unforgiving mistress but just focus on the kissing thing and don't feel pressured to do more only do what you're comfortable with okay :)
You are really lucky! I think Peter might be my Person here? I mean, he's my best friend. He was that before all the dates and kissing got involved?
I'm sorry about your other Person, though.
[ Knowing Louis' world, she can... draw a conclusion to what might have happened. ]
I thought it might be. I suppose it's sometimes the same for girls too? Hormones are... challenging. Like there was this girl at my school who was just very enthusiastic about boys. She dated my friend Ron for a bit. There was a lot of snogging.
[ Ah, Lavender. Living her best life, really. ]
The kissing thing is very nice! It's not something we do often but it's nice when it happens. Peter's still a bit... cautious about romantic things?
i'm SUPER lucky that's cool too sometimes your Person ends up being the person you fall in love with i think that probably makes you even luckier than me!
...yeah thanks
[He'd rather not descend into his Marlon Guilt Hole today, so:]
oh my god snogging please please please say the word "snogging" to me when we next speak i wanna hear it it's so British omfg snogging
well yeah that's fair lots of people have baggage but he's one of the few people who's baggage has a name and a personality all of his own and sometimes crashes the party with little to no warning
True, but you can still love your Person without being in love with them, too! That's sometimes the best kind of love, I think.
[ The love amongst friends. She's always been quite fond of Peter, before the romance crept up on them.
Meanwhile: ......... okay. This is. Something? She's a little bemused by it. ]
Well. Alright? If you really want to hear it? I can say it for you sometime?
That's... true, yes.
I did recently manage to get him to leave Peter and I alone once? Like actually alone?
[ It wasn't necessarily for romantic reasons, but... Peter had asked her to get Paimon to not be watching them for a while. He'd just wanted to be alone with her after a... difficult conversation. ]
oh you bet! it's great violet and I would neeeeeeeeeeever be IN love she's into the ladies for a start and even if she wasn't we went beyond that when we were like eleven we're firmly in sibling territory.
[He's so so pleased to hear this. This is the best day.]
s n o g g i n g :) :) :)
oh wow really? what did you do? did you promise him something shiny? he LOVES shiny shit
I've never had siblings, so I guess I wouldn't know what that's like. You're an only child too, right?
[ She can't recall him ever bringing up siblings. ]
I just... asked him? Politely?
I didn't promise him anything, actually. I probably should have, thinking about it. But I think he'll probably suspect that I'll make it up to him at some point. I know it works like that.
I think they can be just as important as flesh and blood relatives. I hope I can meet her one day.
[ She might not know much about her, but still. ]
Intense is... definitely a word for him, yes. But he's quite respectful of boundaries, usually? I mean, not counting the whole... blood ingesting back in October. I don't think he'll demand so much? He'll probably want me to read to him again.

no subject
Date: 2021-01-02 12:05 am (UTC)ok it might be a both thing
he might just be really awkward and nervous
well scratch that
we BOTH know for a FACT he's really awkward and nervous
but i've been an awkward mess around clem too
boys are awkward around girls they think are pretty
news at eleven
it's fine
nothing to worry about

sorry luna you'll just have to get used to the strangeness
not the ear thing
but i got a primo headscratch thing going on
i mean ok?
it's not got like a super short skirt or anything right?
i thought it was mostly robes
[Peter why are you getting weird with robes? Come on, dude.]
no subject
Date: 2021-01-09 11:27 pm (UTC)A headscratch? So it's... like a nervous tic of sorts?
[ And then she's frowning to herself a little. Peter. Please. You don't need to be nervous around her. Not when they're not even... doing anything. ]
Well, sort of. It's a normal school uniform, and then you wear a robe on top? Like a jacket?
Although maybe it's because I changed with him in the room. I got him to turn around and cover his eyes. Maybe he got nervous over that?
[ Although she didn't think it was all that... weird. ]
no subject
Date: 2021-01-10 06:48 pm (UTC)Yeah kinda? I never really thought about it- but apparently, I do it when I'm trying to figure out what to say.
[Peter is nervous all the time, this is something Louis has come to accept. Water is wet.]
...
Yeah, Luna, honey. That would absolutely be what did it. His poor imagination was probably exploding his entire brain.

THERE WE GO
Yeah sorry Luna
Guys are dumb but we're also kinda the worst sometimes
Minds in the gutter etc
no subject
Date: 2021-01-19 06:50 pm (UTC)Oh, that's kind of nice, actually. And Violet is a friend from home, yes?
[ Is is actually quite sweet, in a way. Violet probably thinks gross, it's not sweet. ]
Well, Peter is a teenage boy, after all. I suppose I... shouldn't be surprised. I just... didn't really think about it that way. Or things like that.
It's just all very new, you know?
[ Merlin. This is a thing for her now. Does Peter often just... think about her without her clothes on...? ]
no subject
Date: 2021-01-19 08:19 pm (UTC)and yeah she is
practically my sister
she's my Person you know?
[Violet defnitely thinks it's gross.]
teenage boys are gross
sorry but we are
we mostly mean well
but also gross
but it's okay!
that sort of thing gets getting used to
you're both pretty new to this
