Preparations: John and Mickey and open to Leon
"There's nothing wrong with you," Mickey said promptly, almost on instinct. He raised a hand. "I know that's not what you want to hear or that's not what you will believe, but..." He grinned knowingly and gave John a wink. "Perhaps the biggest thing that is wrong with you is the fact that you believe there's something wrong with you."
Mickey then put an arm around John. "But, well, you're in a school filled with supernatural creatures. Not all of them play it fair. Mermaids and sirens and such, they all have a natural allure. Even the djinn have a bit of magic in the way they look. Competition is a bit stiffer here, as is the amount of people who give them away a bit more willingly."
Mickey refrained himself from saying that he would have gladly fucked John before Leon, knowing that Leon would absolutely not approve. "And don't underestimate your brother. He's not a charmer, sure, but he's clever and shrewd. There are plenty of people who like that too. Mostly, it's just... Well, find the things you like about yourself. Your intelligence, maybe? Your magic? Your interests? Talk about those. Or, if you don't want to, talk about the other person. Ask about them. It's a surefire way of opening up a conversation."
