Gideon | Carys

How's it going with your crush? Any news so far?

I haven't really... done anything yet.

What are you scared about? Almost everyone in school loves you.

"Almost" is such a powerful word, Carys.
Almost means that there are people who don't love me and that's what scares me.

... What happened to you?

I fell in like, Cupid.
And I don't know if it's a good thing or not.

Holy shit you are WHIPPED. This is great.
Please stop being cryptic and let me help you omg.

No.

Gideon Payne. I can't really sleep happy if I'm not able to complete my job as the school's cupid.

Then get braced for a few weeks of unhappy sleep until I work up my courage :)

Are you kidding me?
Okay then. One clue?
Come on Gideon. I just want to help.

...
Okay fine. One clue. That's all you're getting.
Clue: She's... a close friend.

Wait a second...
If she's a close friend, why can't you just try? She must like you enough to put up with someone like you and actually become close to you.

I'm not sure she would regard me as a close friend though.

What?

It's complicated...

Sounds like it...
Do I know her?

Trust me, you know her very well.

...

Cupid?
Hello?

Hey. Sorry. I was just narrowing down my pool of possible candidates for Gideon Payne's heart.
Geez, why am I the one who is finding out who you like? I'm here for moral support and advice. Not as a detective.

But Detective Cupid sounds pretty catchy right now.

When I find your mystery girl, I'm going to tell her just how dorky you are.

Okay. You go do that. She probably won't be surprised.

Oh?
Why not?

... I HAVE SAID TOO MUCH.

Current clues:
1. She's a "close friend".
2. She knows you're a complete dork.
But then... what classifies as a dork in her dictionary?

That's for me to know and for you to (hopefully not) find out.

Come ON Gideon. The suspense is killing me.
Please help this damsel in distress.

I'm no prince in shining armour, my friend.

You will be for your future girlfriend so why don't you give this thing called "courtesy" a go?

Only for you, princess.

Gross. Never say that again.
I hope your crush doesn't read through these texts. I'm sure she wouldn't be happy with the amount of shameless flirting that goes on...

Is that your subtle way of saying "I'm jealous"?
Cute.

Why on earth would I be jealous?

You and I both know that you have a thing for me. ;)

Please please PLEASE just ring her up and say something about how you feel about her.
These conversations are killing me.
Because I know I'll never be her... (Unsent)

Cupid knows best.
But if she rejects me, the blame is SOLELY on you.

...
Wow. How immature.
Fine. I'll step up and be the ADULT here. I will take the blame if she rejects you and your dorky self. Count on me.

:)
Here goes...

Idiot Dog is calling...
