["Weird" or not, this is deeply intimate in a way that hadn't struck Leon until he sat on the bed. And it's not the bed part. Sure, he's on a girl's bed right now, and that's its own kind of intimate; that's not not on his mind. But it's something more casual, and yet deeper, than that. Maybe it's the way she's facing away from him to do whatever girls do in the mirror (it's not that different from what Leon does in the mirror and he knows it), the surprising level of trust he can feel in that . . .
Also, her room smells like her, and that's awesome.
He remembers to tune into the conversation, which is good, because it's a good one. She's facing away, but he can kind of see her in the mirror, and he grins at her in the reflection.]
That's what I'm sayin'! Asking? Whatever . . . yeah, 'course that's what I mean. A guy can't know unless a girl's honest about it! Or at least, like, that joking kinda honest. I'm totally into the whole "I'll show you you're gonna like it" thing, but it doesn't work that way in the real world unless the girl's in on it too. It'd be creepy otherwise!
