He looked down at the shorter boy's touch with their linked arms and then back at his face before he broke out in a wide grin and a laugh. "Oh no... I would never try to ditch you... " He began to walk out of the assembly room when he was bade to. "I wouldn't have offered if I hadn't wanted to be with you..." A bit of a blush came across his pale face once more as he realized how flirtatious that might have sounded regardless of how he'd meant it. He simply chuckled and let it pass as another joke, awkward though it might have been.<br/><br/>Emma's relaxed pace was hard to ignore and the redhead kept his own strides slow to match. Everything about the boy was intoxicating and he was having a harder and harder time chalking it all up to just an act. Still he was grateful that AJ had disappeared and Emma seemed friendly even if persuasively flirtatious. He was surprised by the foreign boy's question. "No." he replied simply at first and then chuckled at what he perceived as a joke with the second half of the inquiry. "Um... no. I'm not seeing anyone. Until this year I hardly had any free time at all so... it wouldn't have been possible even... even if I had been interested..." He found himself locking with Emma's baby blues for a moment at the end. He noticed that Emma was laying it on quite a bit thicker than before and thought at that moment that he may have been honest to god hitting on him! "Um... haha..." he scratched the back of his head. "I'm not... I mean... that is..." He didn't want to appear homophobic and had no idea how to handle the situation.<br/><br/>An awkward moment of silence entered between them and he cleared his throat to end it. "Well anyway... that was the assembly room and there's a courtyard out the back doors..." he motioned vaguely with a single arm. "Is there anywhere in particular that you'd like me to take you?"<br/>
