So. Okay. Instead of being all "I have this friend who needs some advice" I'll just come right out and admit that stuff happened and I am sort of freaking about it. Not big-time, I guess -- well, it depends on what second you ask me. Maybe just a little big-time.

Here's the deal. I have this best friend in the world and well, he kissed me. Or I kissed him. In any case, there was a kiss. And I do not have any clue what to do because what if this ruined everything and my usual chatroom and IM venting avenues are totally blocked and there's no Dear Abby here and this is just not good in so many ways and my ability to giggle is severely impeded and --

Um. Little help?

[So where is she after making this little post? In the education center, which she is not aware is a hub for the Defense Force. She's typing away at a computer, fingers flying for a WPM in that way only a very seasoned pro can attain. Virtual world distractions, here Garcia comes!]

	That's not really the issue. I mean, we're really close as it is, and I think he'd probably flap his arms and fly to the moon if I asked him. But all I'd be thinking about is what if he fell and hurt himself. You know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A sigh.] Yeah. I kinda do, actually. So you don't think it would be worth giving a try? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it ruins my most cherished friendship, then hell no. But if not... I don't know. It's just really different and I'm not a big fan of change on principle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How do you know for certain it would, though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How does anyone? If you know someone who can predict the future I'm all ears, otherwise my wand's in the shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And she cracks a weak smile at that, going along with the joke. Because joking feels better than mirrored self-doubt.] See, now that's just completely inaccurate. Not all magic users know how to tell the future. The movies usually get that wrong every time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They also have a handy-dandy script, and I could seriously use that right about now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd settle for one of those "For Dummies" instruction books myself. But, I mean...if you're that scared, maybe you should just...wait? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But what if he does want -- you know, that kind of relationship, and it's really hurting him to think that I don't, I mean I was with this other guy for a long time and we just broke up and -- Gah, why can't these things come with a manual? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2012-10-17 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	Well, do you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If I only knew, sweetheart. Gah, feelings, why you gotta be so complicated? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2012-10-19 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Because the world hates us. [She takes a deep breath and looks away] If you're not sure...you shouldn't force yourself. He wouldn't want you to do that for his sake. And, I mean...if he really cares about you, he'd be willing to wait until you were ready. [...right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Double score on the good points, my friend. But you know, it all sounds really easy until you actually have to put things into action. Waiting -- sucks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2012-10-19 01:25 am UTC (link)
	It does. But at least you'd be making sure you get it right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You think so? I mean, we've known each other like ten years or so and I still don't know what's up. Will another few weeks or months really do more than increase the painfully awkward transition period? That was rhetorical, I think. You guess is as good as mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2012-10-20 05:31 am UTC (link)
	If you've known him for ten years and this is the first time he's kissed you and you're freaking out like this...[No offense]...I dunno, maybe? Unless you think you are ready, and this is just your way of stalling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Freaking out over change is sort of a defining characteristic of mine. Not one of my more charming ones, I'll give you that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you need a paper bag, or do you think you've gotten most of it out of your system by now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could use a bag of Sour Patch Kids, but I think I'll manage. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notbabymagic 2012-10-20 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Do they even have those here? If so, I could probably bring you a bag. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm willing to take the inter-dimensional generic brand. And thanks, but I think I'll immerse myself in code for the day. Another weirdness of mine, but it calms me down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, whatever works. [Penelope seems to be feeling a bit better, so Zatanna will take that as a good sign. Even if no solution to the "problem" had really been reached.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
