"That's pretty gross... Like, I don't take you as a sex craved fiend or anything. To be honest, you seem pretty shy about that sort of thing, which is fine! Sex can be scary, I guess. This one guy asked and I said no, because the idea freaks me out!"
 
"...What sort of people do you socialise with, b-because they all seem... awful," he admitted quietly, cringing further at the knowledge that someone had once gone up to her with the proposition. Cameron may have been a little quirky and odd, but he did have respect for people. He didn't like hurting people or upsetting them, and he sure as hell would never treat a girl like Louise had been treated. "It's a-actually disgusting, y'know? I'm... not an expert at all that stuff, kissing and whatnot, b-but I at least know I'd go about it respectfully and stuff..."​
 
"I mean, they're just guys. That's just what guys do, you know? They just want to have sex all the time. I have no idea why they would want to do that with me, granted, because I'm sure I'm average at best. It's just- I get nervous when people touch me out of nowhere, so sex? That would be really terrifying- let's not talk about it, though!" She insisted hurriedly, before feeling for the coffee once agajn
 
"I'm a guy and that's not what I do," he pointed out, even if his argument was somewhat dented by the fact his brother was pretty much like that; his father had been having affairs constantly, and Matty had slept with Lucy only an hour after knowing her. Clearly, guys could be just like Louise described... even if Cameron was nothing like that. Hell, he couldn't even say 'sex' without growing shy and flustered by it. "Y-Yeah, let's... drop the subject, it makes me feel all disgusting. I don't think I could ever kiss a girl-- I mean, you're beautiful Louise, b-but... I don't like people touching me, besides my mother. I don't even let my sister hug me, a-aha.."​
 
"So... You would never kiss me? I get that, yeah... I mean, I'm not very kissable anyway. Granted, I'm sure you are! Ah... Aha... But that doesn't matter, hm? I mean, uh... Who needs kissing anyway. It's not like I have any interest in kissing you! Nope... None..."
 
"N-No! No, you're the only person I'd even consider kissing, you're pretty great and my family knows I-I've liked you a while, since you started delivering papers which was like... five years ago, when we were ten o-or something. It's taking me five years just to talk to you properly," he laughed, despite the shakiness behind it to connote just how nervous he was becoming, his fingers tapping against the table in an effort to compose himself. "Y-You're really pretty, so... if I had to kiss someone, I'd love to kiss you, b-but... h-hey, this is getting really embarrassing, s-so..."​
 
"You're right, you're right, I'm... Im sorry. I just, I've never had anyone like me before, and I know that people usually kiss and stuff when they have mutual feelings for one another," she admitted, as she began to chew on her lip. "I'm so stupid, seriously... I won't mention it again."
 
Biting his bottom lip nervously, it took one look at her after forcing himself to look back up from the ground to convince him to push forward and lock lips with her. His jittery personality, and skittishness, as well as his deep-rooted insecurities, would perhaps indicate someone who was small and weak. On the contrary, the vampire was easily his father's height at only fourteen, and he was surprisingly strong-- he just failed to recognise that advantage.

"I... hey, that was fine, right?" He awkwardly babbled, pulling back and smiling briefly to himself. "Do you wear cherry lipgloss? It's nice, I-I mean-- I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have-- a-anyway! Let's forget about that, a-aha..."​
 
With her hands in the air, her glossy eyes wide, the girl was silent for a long moment. But, when she did finally react, she immediately burst into nervous giggles that matched her flushed cheeks. "O-Oh my gosh, I mean... Y-You noticed? Wow, I mean- don't be sorry! That was... Sudden, but that doesn't mean I'm angry! To be honest, I... I was hoping you'd kiss me. But, next time, please tell me? Because I think I would have cried if anyone else did that... B-But..."
 
"Yeah, sorry, I... it was the heat of the moment, and I wanted to before my parents came down, and... h-hey, you wanted to kiss me? Are you mad? I mean, if you could see me, you genuinely wouldn't want to kiss me. I'm pale, sickly, completely awful," he chuckled drily, happy to insult himself, because he had heard a lot of the insults before, most of which came from his parents. He didn't mind it too much - if they were insulting him, they weren't arguing with one another, and that was a sacrifice he was happy to take.​
 
"- but I can't see you, huh? So, it doesn't matter. I think it's pretty obvious that I'm not someone who cares about looks," she teased, her cheeks still bright red as she felt for her cup of tea to sip. "I'm sure I'm not nearly as good looking as the girls in my school, but that's okay. I found someone who doesn't care about me or my appearance, just like you have me- I mean, as a friend! Unless you want to be more than a friend, but..." she continued to babble, before carefully petting the service dog besides her.
 
"I'd love to be more than just a friend, honestly! But... you could do a lot better than m-me, and I... I'm not normal," he quickly protested, not wanting it to seem like he was deliberately avoiding the issue of dating her, but he also knew that if he dated her, then there would be issues. Namely, not being able to go out in the sun, and the constant risk of hurting her. He hadn't ever had blood, but he hadn't ever spent time with a human. Dating her would mean that he would be around her a lot... and subsequently run the risk of feeding off her, even if the thought sickened him.

"...I mean, I'm not... I can't go out on dates, I can't even leave the house. I like you a lot, but I couldn't go out in the day, a-and... I dunno, Louise, that'd be annoying for you, right?"​
 
"... Look, you don't need to make up excuses if you don't want to be with me. I get it. You wanted a quick kiss and that's it. Hell, you probably kissed me and decided that I wasn't good enough or something..." She immediately replied, a sign of her own crippling self esteem issues. Pursing her lips together, she smiled nonetheless before sipping her tea with a sniffle.
 
"...You think I would do that? I... I seriously like you, Louise! I... I've thought about kissing you for years, I mean-- look, don't you find it odd that I can't go outside?" He wearily asked, making sure no member of his family was nearby to hear him hinting and hoping to insinuate what he was without actually stating it. The truth always came out, so if it came out now and she miraculously wasn't bothered, it would make things simpler. Of course, the chances of her appearing blasé about the situation were slim, so slim that he didn't see how revealing what he was would be met with anything other than horror.

"L-Like, I can't go out in the sun, Louise. My whole family can't. Isn't that strange? A-And... And, look, I'm really cold," he quickly murmured as he grabbed her hand in his own, albeit with a lot of gentleness. "...I really like you, s-so don't think I'm making excuses not to date you. I'm just... we're not... the same. I don't want to date you, and then you realise I'm not... normal and then be scared of me, y-y'know?"​
 
"Jeez, Cam, calm down," Louise replied, her own hands holding his carefully. "So what? You're cold and stuff- like, an albino, right? I can't judge you on that, it's fine!" She cooed, her naivety somewhat endearing as she offered a small smile. "... Seriously, it's not like I can tell when its night time. Why are you so worried? We... We don't need to head out anywhere, I'm okay staying here, talking. I mean, I get boring quickly...
 
"...Right. If... If you're okay with it, then I'd love to date you. I'd be honoured to," he admitted quickly to ease the tension he imagined was there. Even if she was naive enough not to get his hints, even if they hadn't exactly been brilliant, then he was okay dating her. If the truth came out and she got angry at him, he could also resort to mentioning this moment, and that she was at fault for failing to understand.

"You're beautiful, and... and I want to be with you. I think you could do better, but I... won't argue if you genuinely want me. My mother will be mad at me, b-but... she'll have to deal with it, I guess."​
 
"... And you're positive she wouldn't want to meet me? Because I've heard really cool things about her. All the kids in my class say that she's stunning and tall with long hair. I would like to meet her once, you know? And your father. Just like I'd like you to meet my family. They're not nearly as interesting as this, but it's cozy!" She insisted, her arms spread wide for emphasis
 
"You don't want to meet my parents, really," he chuckled drily, attempting to try and play his anxiety over such a thing down, when in reality, the thought of his mother meeting Louise filled him with dread. It would never end well if it were to happen, and he knew he would be made to choose... even if that felt impossible at the moment, with his feelings for Louise having trebled after the kiss. "...A-Anyway, maybe you should go? My mother's gonna wake up in a moment, a-and you don't want to be around then..."​
 
"Oh... Okay, sure. I was just thinking we could hang out more? I mean, I wanted to explore your house. I probably should head back, I guess. I'm sure my mom is taking her lunch break, I could get her to pick me up... Um... When could I come over again? Because you seem pretty busy, I don't want to mess that up.
 
"Well, my family won't be here. My parents will, but the others are all going, so you can come back when they go? I... I know you want to meet them properly, but... they'll just irritate me, purposely. Lucy's the worst. She doesn't like me much," he shrugged to himself, chuckling quickly to try and make a joke out of it, even if the sombre tone to his voice spoke differently. He often believed Lucy hated him, and he thought the same about Milli and Axel now, even if they'd met him for two days only. "B-But yeah, we can explore soon, I promise! We can explore outside, as long as it's dark, a-aha."​
