"Comforting," he answered dryly though nothing that Jackie said came as any surprise; he had already known all that she had said. And she snorted? He had been joking but to have her snort? Humph. "I'm not good enough for you then?" he asked in mock offense. Her reaction had been rather comical and he couldn't resist teasing her. It was in his nature, after all. "You shouldn't deceive me so, getting a bloke's hopes up like that. Humph." He broke into a rather devilish smirk before trying to be serious again. He wasn't even going to bother commenting on what it would be like if they actually ended up together. It was too absurd even to think about.

"Honestly is overrated," Adrien scoffed. "There are some things that simply should not be said." This was coming from the boy who was notoriously blunt? Well, he did have his moments where he kept his thoughts to himself. "Like telling someone you love- pardon, like- 'em when you're not sure if the feeling is returned." He had no problem with being honest. Who else could you confide in if not your friends? Still, there were things that he just wasn't comfortable talking about, no matter how close he was a person. "But no, I don't think you could." His mad skillz were mostly from the hair. He would be almost nothing without it.

...This obsession with his hair? It really needs to end. It's not entirely sane or healthy.

"Pick your poison: do you want to hurt him a lot once or a tad bit less over a longer period of time. Personally, I think the former is better," he snapped. And was she dissing snogging? Gaspshock! "Pfft, it helps. You forget that I'm the guy here so I think I'd be a better judge for what guys want." Granted, he and Gabe were very different, probably more different than he and Jackie. "And it'll help you get rid of that pent up sexual tension. Or something." Out of line? I think so. But did he care? I think not.

Now she was sounding annoyed. "See, you've got it wrong. I don't care." Hadn't they already established this earlier? He didn't even know any more. "I'm just giving you advice that you don't need to take. No one's forcing you to listen." Well, she didn't really seem to have too much other choice. They were the only ones there and he didn't think she'd be as rude as to just turn around and walk away. "But you know what? You're right. It could happen. You could just drift apart but if you're as close as you act like you are, it's not likely that that could happen without one or both of them noticing."

He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. Weird indeed.

"Good enough?" Jackie gave him an incredulous look. Was he serious? She rolled her eyes skyward before setting her gaze on him. "We keep saying how different we are from each other... and you do not want to become emotionally invested in any relationship while I don't want to have a purely physical one. I mean, if I really just wanted a snogging partner, I could just snog Sly from my own house." She threw another wry smile in. "And I am but a novice deceptor, even if one at that. You're the master... so you shouldn't be deceived by me."

"I suppose if any bird were to come up to tell you that she fancied you, you would just use it to your advantage even if you didn't return her feelings, hmm?" It was a question that really didn't need an answer as Jackie could guess his response. "That would make you different from him as he didn't take advantage of me..."

"And a little over time would work for me... seeing as he's graduating at the end of the year and perhaps by then, my feelings would have changed." Jackie shrugged. Of course, she would have also preferred to be hit with the truth in one blow had their situations been reversed, but she didn't want to hurt Gabe at all, and she figured this would be better for him, even if it wasn't the best for her.

Oh, god, he didn't just say sexual tension, did he? If she really had that, she would have just grabbed him and kissed him right there. But that would be crazy, and her friends would kill her, and she didn't want to die today. So, she took a deep breath and refused to respond to that.

"Good." Jackie nodded. "We've got that established. You don't care about me, and I... just care about you as a human being. That works for whatever messed up thing this is." She waved her hand between 'them'. "Although usually people give advice to show their concern... not because they like the sound of their voice."

She sighed. This was crazy. Truly whacked.
