[ There are few words that a teenage boy longs to hear from his girlfriend (??) than "Come over, my parents aren't home." There is an unsaid promise in those words that has Calvin desperately searching his room for a couple of packets of free condoms that his school handed out. It had seemed almost like a joke to give them to someone like Calvin, but now...
Now it still seems like it might have been a joke, as apparently all Essie had wanted from him was an anime hangout session.
Honestly, Calvin would still be delighted by this if he didn't feel a little deflated by reality. He probably should have expected it, but his teenage brain has run away with him and made him think this was it.
But almost an hour had passed, and it had just been watching anime. Calvin has dutifully provided commentary for it regardless, because despite his disappointment, he still wanted to watch this show. By episode three he's even managed to do the reverse of Essie, and get absorbed enough in that he's starting to forget his initial disappointment.
And then Essie goes and rubs up against him like that, and his attention snaps back to her in an instant. He clears his throat, and tries to keep his voice from cracking when he speaks. ]
