There is love inside this madness
We are walking on the moon
We are walking on the moon
Soh giggled softly at his quiet compliment, leaning forward to kiss him sweetly. "No, you're the best," she murmured, clear adoration shining from her silver eyes. It was a welcome relief that he wasn't upset with her, and she felt something tight inside her chest relax at the realization. She hadn't realized just how worried she was until that moment, just how terrified she was that she was going to do something to mess everything up. Why she felt that way, when she never had about being his best friend, she wasn't sure. It just felt like now she had so much more to lose - even with Jude's promise to stay friends if anything ever happened.
It just felt like her heart might shatter into a million pieces if anything ever did.
And then Jude had a confession to make, and Soh tensed slightly, a slight frown furrowing between her brows. What Jude could possibly have done to warrant his expression - and the way he avoided her eyes - was a mystery to her. She'd never been upset with him since meeting him, and she couldn't imagine that anything would change that, except -
Oh. Oh. Why did it have to be Koa?
Soh couldn't remember ever having felt quite so many emotions in such a short span as she did then: guilt, shame, amusement, confusion, and something that felt suspiciously like jealousy. But really, how could she be upset if nothing had really happened, if Jude was telling her, and when she hadn't even properly broken things off with Koa, having not been home in the weeks since she and Jude had gotten together?
"You are attractive and interesting," Soh said, reaching up to caress his cheek with her thumb. "And wonderful, and smart, and kind..." she added, teasing if only so she could gather her thoughts. "Anyone with eyes can see that." But then she hesitated, her brow still furrowed slightly. "And honestly, I know how charming Koa can be," she said wryly. "I, um, went on a few dates with him. Before you and I were together." Her cheeks flushed. Was this something they could joke about? "It looks like we have similar tastes," she said, trying for a laugh.
Then she sobered. "I'm not upset. Maybe a little jealous," she admitted, biting her lip. "Just... just don't do anything with anyone else?" she said, her voice lilting into a question mark. "I don't want to share you." Oh, gods, what if Jude wanted that? "I mean - do you want to see other people?" she asked, her voice small and uncertain. She wasn't sure if she could handle that, and fear spiked in her belly as she waited anxiously for his response.

Though I don't believe in magic
I believe in me and you
I believe in me and you
