Danny yawned and stretched out, putting her head on Roch's leg, curling up. She reached out and grabbed another slice of pizza (which seemed to have oddly diminished in the last few seconds). She promptly took a bite out of it and began munching.
With her mouth still full, Danny said, "Love's nice though. It makes you all happy inside." Maybe she was just reciting things from Halloween movies and old stories, but she really did think it. If Danny could equate that much, Roch probably could too.
"It's the stuff that makes you wanna curl up on someone and never leave ever. Uh, I guess you kiss and stuff too," she continued. Her eyes clouded over for a moment, but it was gone in seconds. Why she was even lecturing Roch on this type of thing had no explanation. She was probably even farther behind than he was. She took another bite of pizza, if only to shut herself up. Pretty soon she was going to start talking about Rikki, and if she did that...

"There's also lust," Roch pointed out bluntly. "Which ain't love, but it makes you wanna kiss and stuff, anyway," he told her. "So how do you know the difference?" he asked.
"No, there's lots of reasons I can't trust myself. And then there's those issues, like I had with Xiu, where I mistook some OTHER feelings for love, when it had nothin' to do with love. And I don't know WHATS wrong with me right now, but if I'm startin' to think you're cute, I definitely need to stay away from ghouls in general till its passed."
The last thing he wanted was to screw up like he had with Xiu. Nobody deserved him actin' like that.

Lust and love? Weren't those the same thing? Danny wasn't exactly well versed in the ways of vocab; many words that meant similar things simply meant the same thing. Wasn't lust just when you liked something a lot? That was love ... right?
Roch was already switching subjects and babbling. Danny conitnued to munch her pizza, but slowly now. Unlike Roch, her stomach wasn't endless.
"Cuuuute?" she taunted, "You think I'm CUUUUUTE~" She gave a coarse laugh, and squeezed his leg a bit. Danny had never really cared about her appearances, but something about hearing Roch call her cute was extremely satisfying. Like she had accomplished something. Her tummy felt a little jumpy, but Danny assumed it was just the pizza talking.
Sitting up, Danny hugged Roch's neck with one arm, pizza still in hand. "Thanks Roch," she said sheepishly, "You're uh. Handsome too!" Danny: Master of compliments.

.... That was the problem, he thought with an inward sigh. "Off," he said, nudging her away. "No hugs, okay?" His heart was beating harder, and that was a definite NO GO. "Not right now."
He looked at the empty pizza boxes, then stood. "Okay, time for me to go take a shower," he told her. "A COLD shower. I was thinkin' I'd try and pass the bear fighting class, too--up in the snowy mountains."

Danny frowned at Roch nudging her off as she stood up. She was torn; part of her was happy that Roch was being his usual no-touching self, but part of her was also sad he didn't embrace her back. Why was that? She'd never actually thought about why Roch never hugged her back until now. Weird.
As he began listing things that she was ... NOT a fan of, Danny grabbed his wrist and said, "W-Wait." Oh Jack this was awkward. How did she say this without being ... well clingy?
A faint blush crossed her face, though she wasn't sure why. The moths in her stomach were coming back too. Why? This was Roch. Roch. Danny let go of his wrist, sticking both hands by her side again. "You uh. You won't leave anymore right?" She looked up at Roch with big eyes. Danny wasn't sure what she'd do if Roch left her again. Probably transfer for real.

"Nah," he said. "This school sucks major, but seems like all of them do. At least here I got pals," he said. "Like you, y'know?" Then he stood, stretching his arms over his head and revealing a bit of his stomach under his vest. "I'm here for good."
But he needed to get away from her--and well, everyone, it was starting to feel like, before he did something stupid.

Danny smiled lightly and looked at the boxes on the ground. With a foot she kicked them up and with her fists she burned them instantly. Hahaha. Boxes. You stand no chance against the mighty Danny!
Right, focus.
Turning back to Roch she watched him stretch and only heard the end of his speech- "I'm here for good." Smiling again, she took a step towards him to go in for a hug, only to remember he specifically said no hugs.
For a moment, she stood there a tad confused, and then an idea struck. Standing on her tiptoes she kissed Roch's forehead and then murmured, "I'm glad you're back." There were no lovey-dovey feelings in it, it was just a gesture from one friend to another. With that, she ruffled his mohawk and kicked back on her heels.

He gave her a baffled look, then turned and ran, intent on getting away. This thing--definitely not a good idea to stick around.
