"And what if I don't want to, have you thought about that?" The protest might have sounded strong to anyone eavesdropping, but the young witch certainly didn't mean it in such a way. He was terrified, terrified, being this close to Jasmine, but despite how he felt his entire body ready to crumble to the ground at any second it was impossible to rip his gaze away from her. He'd prayed for years that she might fall for someone else, anyone else, because he couldn't stand the thought of doing something that would cost him his best friend - but here they stood, too close for innocent comfort, and Robbie wasn't sure that even his magic would have been able to keep the blush in his cheeks at bay if he tried. "Jazz, I... I can't. We shouldn't. It's gonna make things too weird - there's not a single member of either of our families who isn't going to be psycho about this one way or another and you know that!"
The words had slipped out of her mouth before she could even process them. It was almost like the goal was to embarrass herself. Thankfully, it was simple to just play it off like a joke. "Well our parents said I'm a catch so no, I can't." Jasmine did her best to laugh it off. The words didn't change the fact that she had just felt shot down. At least she hadn't done something stupid and tried to confess her feelings. How shitty that would have gone. If only she could rewind time, or go into hiding until the embarrassment wore off. It wasn't like she could avoid Robbie either, their families spent too much time for her to actually be able to pull that off. Still mid-thought, he only continued to prove that she should have never opened her dumb mouth. All it sounded like were excuses to shut her down and the last thing she needed from him was an explanation. "I don't know what are family has to do with this," although both families would have a field day if they ever found out. "It's just a kiss. All you had to say Robbie is that you don't want to kiss me. I'm not offended." Just hurt. "Weird, right. Friends don't kiss. Of course it would make things weird."
