[Feelings are hard. Well, complex feelings are hard. Hunger, boredom, affection, excitement, anger, those are easy. Differentiating between different varieties of love is hard. It had taken him a longass time to figure out that oh, maybe his desire to impulsively nuzzle into Chazz's neck at all times isn't just platonic and friendly.

[He'd finally tried to ask Chazz what's up today, and something about the way Chazz had blown him off and scoffed at his offers of help snapped something in Jaden's chest. It feels a little bit like panic, really, and it's almost an out of body experience, grabbing Chazz by the arm, pulling him in and kissing him hard on the mouth.]

[But it definitely just happened.]
