"Dangerous quirk. It can backfire easily. You gotta rely on people not exploiting it. Tsk. Wouldn't fancy that quirk." Jonathan did see it though, he could see how Edward found interest so easily and how he was so friendly and personable but not in the traditional extrovert way. There was something. Jonathan started to walk again, silently thinking over what he could do with someone like Edward. Nothing good, he knew that much.
"We won't be friends." He wondered how Edward would react to such a claim. Would he double down? Would he see it as rejection? Fascinating. "I don't do friends. Too much work."
Probably for the best too. "You got a lot of friends too, you don't need me."
"Eh. People say these things. See, I say that I don't do being anyone's boyfriend. Sometimes you're better off alone." He could relate to the general sentiment. Of course, he didn't actually care for being alone, pretty much ever. And while he may not be particularly good at the boyfriend thing where commitment was concerned... "If you change your mind you know where to find me."
His mind on friendship or whatever else that Edward was maybe talking about in a roundabout way. He didn't much care for speaking in a straight-forward manner, held very little interest. There was always so many layer to any conversation. Especially any conversation to the chemist kid with seeds in his pants.
"It's a firm no from me, son. Don't come to me again, yeah?" He braced himself for the inevitable daddy retort as he finished off his cigarette and flicked it idly on the floor. Well, it was a city, no risk of forest fire here so who cared? "I ain't personable. And besides, if the law of the jungle is anything to go by, you don't align yourself with someone on bottom rung."
He was at the bottom of the heap right now and he was going to be suffering through some fun hazing so he figured keeping a wide berth was good. "We don't gotta walk together, you can leave any time."
"I will, actually, I got a lunch date." Of sorts, anyway. "I'm telling you, try the KFC some time. You won't regret that."
He swirled around on one foot, walking backwards a few steps so he could still keep up with Jonathan. "If you want me to listen to you, daddy-o, you've really gotta get a firmer hand. I'm a brat, can't you tell?"
He winked at him, because he might as well, then he blew him a kiss, turned, and walked off, hands in his pocket.
