Library [10.2]

It was a Tuesday, Anemone realized belatedly, and that meant she had to open the Library.

Which is why she's fumbling with keys and juggling coffee, thankfully only a few minuets late. The Library is now open!

"That makes the third, then," he said. "So. Books on romance and asking someone to prom who's not panicking, mad at me, or doesn't have a date?" He rubbed the back of his ~~mullett~~ head.

She grabbed some scratch paper out of her pocket and started jotting down numbers. "Um, I think 175 & 176 are the sections on Ethics in Leisure and Sex. Try there. Or the early 300s for books about sex and relationships. If you don't see anything you like, come back to the desk and ask me. I'll check the card catalog."

"As for the date..." she tapped her pencil thoughtfully. "I don't know if I should be flattered you asked, or insulted that I came in third. Um, I just turned down Robin about an hour ago. You could ask him."

"There's a dude named Robin?" He blinked.

"You're third because you're third. At least I didn't make you mad at me or cause a panic attack like the first two." ANd then he mumbled something about her embarrassing her in class.

"Uh-huh, and he's absolutely adorable." She grinned at Jack. "Why would I be mad? Don't be silly. You need to speak up, I didn't catch that last part."

"Why would I ask a boy to Homecoming? I'd go stag first." He kinda smiled. Okay, more like a facial twitch.

"You embarrassed me in Sex Ed!"

"I did?" she looked at him, puzzled. "How? There isn't anything embarrassing about asking Miss Lulu a question." Notice how she's not apologizing.

"You made me look like an idiot!" he repeated. His ears were turning a bit red.

"What are you talking about?" Anemone shook her head at him. "Miss Lulu didn't think we were silly. She said it was a normal mistake to make. I'm not embarrassed that I believed you, why are you making a big deal out of it?"

"I dunno! I just am!" he said. "And that Miss Lulu's got..." he made clenchy hands that were really fists and not-fists, which toooootally didn't look like he was making a 'grabby boobs' gesture "...funny ideas."

They totally did look like the grabby gesture. "Funny how? I don't get it."

"About sex! People don't just talk about sex like that!"

"I thought boys talked about sex all the time, especially in a group of guys. Girls do. Well, the girls at home at least. Put more than three in a group, and it will eventually come up. If there's lots of us and plenty of alcohol, it gets kinda dirty really fast. Boys here don't do that?" she asked, genuinely curious. "Huh."

"Boys talk about sex all the time, but not to girls! And not with girls. It's private," he insisted.

And then he paid attention to what she said. "Girls talk about sex?" he asked.

"At home, we talk about boys. Talking about boys can eventually end up with sex tossed in, depending on the girls in the group. And the older girls aren't very shy about giving advice. That's my experience at least, but all my friends at home are either military, ex-military, or retired terrorists. We might not represent the norm."

"Sex isn't private. Private sex is masturbation. If you're sleeping with a girl, you should at least talk to her about it. It's only polite." Anemone resumed her tidying, picking up wayward books. "Trust me on that."

"So I should talk to girls about that?" he said. He might have omitted that part about being in a relationship first. "Cuz girls area already talking about it?"

"Well, you shouldn't just talk to random girls about sex, that might be rude. But there's no reason not to talk to a girl about it if you're already sleeping with her, and there's no reason to be embarrassed about asking questions in class, especially of Miss Lulu, since we all signed that paper."

Anemone repressed the urge to sigh, trying to figure out how Jack's brain processed things was exhausting. "Does that help at all?"

"Yes?" No. "I'll make sure to ask every girl I'm sleeping with." When it happened.
