Jason nodded as Erin talked about getting along well with her brother.<br/>"That's great that you get along so well with your brother. Not all get along so well with their siblings."<br/>Jason was an only child, but he had seen the gamut of sibling relationships.<br/>"I'd appreciate that. Maybe I'll get the chance to thank him myself on FaceTime."<br/><br/>Jason laughed as she flexed and said she was badass.<br/>"True, if your foot would have connected, I probably would have landed at O'hare right as the 3 PM flights were going out. Ugh, brutal."<br/>The topic then changed to Mortal Kombat, and he sympathized with her.<br/>"I had to get good the hard way after my buddies kicked me around a bunch, but I did and now they can't touch me. Also, given how brutal those games are, you get off easy if the worst you get is a punch to the dick."<br/><br/>He nodded as they agreed on Street Fighter.<br/>"Best two out of three on Street Fighter IV for bed selection it is."<br/>He nodded when she agreed with him about how awesome Akuma was.<br/>"Right? Phasing through opponents for a surprise Dark Hadouken to the back is awesome."<br/>Jason agreed with her on Ibuki and Makoto, too.<br/><br/>"Absolutely. I love how they gave Sakura peers her own age, established a next generation of fighters, and were inclusive to women all at the same time."<br/>He nodded with a 'oh, if you only knew' look on his face.<br/>"It was something."<br/>Jason's cheeks pinked slightly at the kiss on the cheek.<br/>"You're welcome."<br/><br/>Jason also appreciated the compliment on his physique.<br/>"My friend has a home gym that I used all throughout middle and high school. I was getting so many gains and can lift close to 300 pounds now."<br/>His face lit up as she mentioned staying in shape together.<br/>"I'm definitely hitting that gym from time-to-time. Also, also...Morning run on the beach, I always wanted to do that."<br/><br/>Jason accompanied Erin to the ice cream shop, not holding back how happy he was to be with such a hot babe at all. Jason paid no mind to haters, living life to the fullest. When they got to the ice cream shop and she ordered for him, he responded to her devious grin with a mock look of despair.<br/>"Oh, no, my fragile masculinity! Whatever shall I do?!"<br/>He mimicked the sound of glass breaking and let his hand mimic the falling shards.<br/><br/>Jason was also okay with her paying if she wanted to. He had enough saved to get through his first year without working if he budgeted well, but he would definitely have to get a job his second year. When the ice cream arrived, he took a bite and his eyes popped.<br/>"Wow, this is really good."<br/>Jason was absorbed in eating for a moment, but pulled himself away to continue socializing.<br/>"Yeah, it is."<br/><br/>Jason's face lit up and he held the spoon up as he was thinking.<br/>"Yeah, reading about people traveling the world made me not want to settle for a job that chains me to one location. We live in a huge world and only get one life, so why not use that life to see the world?"<br/>He took a bite as she talked about her passion.<br/>"I think that field suits you. I could see you selling shampoo and stuff."<br/><br/>Jason imitated a commercial voice over voice.<br/>"Our shampoo has natural vitamins and minerals needed to keep your hair healthy. Our model here will demonstrate."<br/>He laughed good-naturedly.<br/>"In all seriousness, though, you'll do great."<br/>When she asked him about growing up in Chicago, he thought it over for a minute.<br/><br/>"Sometimes, yeah. Gangs are an issue there, sometimes people started crap with me for petty reasons. Overall, though, it was good."<br/>Jason took a bite.<br/>"I always had fun and stayed positive. I plan to do the same here."
