Edward was touching him. It was like an alarm went off in his head and he froze. What he observed was never supposed to interact. It was strange, like seeing a chemical react and being able to ask it why or feel it's impact. He looked at Edward and then looked away.
Queer. Fairy. Fucking hell.
He took a step away from Edward and cocked his head to the side. "I weren't being negative. I like watching p-p-pretty th-things break." He side-stepped any attempt for Edward to get close and started to move away from the auditorium and towards somewhere more neural. Maybe he could end this if he just walked away. Avoidance always won out.
"Break me then." Edward said it as a provocation, for the same damn reason he still talked back to his dad when he was already hurting. Stubborn and contrary and embracing risk rather than ever backing down and missing out. Even if it was just missing out on proving himself. "If you want to watch it so badly, then break me into little pieces. Bring me to my knees in tears. Does that do it for you?"
He turned and raised his eyebrows. "I know you want me."
The challenge was set but he had no idea how to approach it or what to do with himself. He didn't want to do play when he was already on the losing side. Losing in presentation, distance and idea. He had to ponder this, he had to find the way to play the game on an even footing. He turned to Edward and looked at him for a while. "You want me to r-race the inevitable."
"Does it matter what I want? You're already in for it. I've just dragged it into the open." Edward shrugged and offered a quick flash of a smirk. "So sue me."
Clearly he felt no regret. "Let's just be friends, Jonny. I'm all for it. But, from one nancy boy to the other... You're the one who's already picked a fight against the inevitable. I wish you luck." To whatever end that might be.
Jonathan stared at Edward for a few moments and then decided that all he could do was walk away for now. He had a lot of things to think about. Mostly Edward. One Nancy boy to another... heh. He liked that one.
