Early Bird of Summer

When do you want me to come over?

Whenever you're free.

I don’t mind. I want to take care of you, Jesse. I don’t really know why, but I want to look after you.

Then who am I to say 'no' to that?

Oh, no, I haven’t changed my mind about coming over. But I can take care of you. I’ll bring over some hot soup that my mama always makes for when I’m sick. I know it’s just allergies, but it’ll make you feel better.

That's really unnecessary, Blaine, it's nothing serious.

Wait, what? Why are you under the weather?

I assume allergies are the cause because I have no other real reason to be ill, and therefore am not contagious.

Not even friends?

My friends aren't particularly the type of people who like to stay in. As much as I love a good party, it seems as though I'm becoming a little under the weather.

You want a movie night with me?

I don't really think there's anyone else I'd be interested in having a movie night with.

You know I’m going to disagree.

And you can disagree all you want but it's not going to change my mind.

You’re completely ridiculous.

I'm honest.

Tonight? Wow… I’m not doing anything tonight. Do I have to wear anything specific?

Just that gorgeous smile.

Then uh… I guess we’re going on a date. Can I ask when?

I'm available tonight if that's not too short of a notice, but if it is then I'm free until next Thursday.

I…

That's all I ask for.

I’m scared, Jesse. I’m so, so scared of going through all of that crap I did before.

Let me try.

I’m scared of it in general. I don’t want to be hurt again.

There's no promise that you won't get hurt again, not now, but I can promise that I won't hurt you intentionally.

Falling for you.

There's absolutely no reason for you to be scared about that, I can assure you.

What?! No, I know I’m not. I do want to… I’m just scared.

About what?

Well… I’m flattered. Thank you, Jesse.

You understand that you're not obligated to go, right?
