[Closed] A Spring of Advice
Characters: Jack Frost & Zatanna Zatara
Date: March 26
Location: Ice cream shop where Zatanna works
Situation: Jack needs advice on a girl, so he asks another girl! What could possibly go wrong?
Warnings/Rating: Maybe Zatanna's brain breaking a little...
Jack generally liked finding himself in new situations. He was a spontaneous sort himself, craved adventure and discovery as much as the mischief and snow, and believed that fresh opportunities were as much a part of Fun as anything. But this was so new and outside anything he'd experienced that he found himself at a loss, and thought it best to get some perspective on it before deciding what to do. It was certainly a strong distraction for everything that had been going on the last few weeks, but this on top of everything else was leaving the winter spirit feeling a bit frazzled.
So this afternoon after he was done his deliveries, he flew to the ice cream shoppe where Zatanna worked, knowing that her afternoon shift would have her here, and rapped his staff on the doorway before poking his head inside.
"Zatanna?"

"Zatanna?"
no subject
This should be awkward. This should be incredibly awkward. Quite possibly the most awkward conversation she would ever have on the Turtle (she hoped). Yet, she couldn't help the amusement at his shell-shocked expression. Pun absolutely intended.
Welcome to hormones, Jack.

"But why would you have thought that at all..."
no subject
Instead, she leaned forward against the table's cool surface and countered: "Have you ever had a crush on someone before?"

"And how did being around her make you feel?"
no subject
"I... she was-- I liked being able to come and see her," he said, partially unsure what Zatanna was asking here and partly because remembering was bringing up all kinds of emotions for him.
no subject
She had a reason for asking, of course, no matter how random the topic shift might have seemed; she wanted him to understand the difference between liking someone and liking someone.
"What about when you're together? Did you feel anything different that you didn't around other people?"

"You liked her. Really, really liked her." Just to clarify. "Even being around her made you happy, no matter what you did. Getting to sit beside her. Hold her hand. Maybe even kiss her?"

"Oh, Jack. I'm sorry." She got up from her seat, moving around so that she was sitting directly next to him. "But, I mean, you have a chance to now, right? With Orina. If that's what you really want."
no subject
"I do," Jack agreed cautiously. "But with Orina, I don't feel like I really know anything about her. So I'm a little worried that I'll do something that she won't like." A faint quirk tugged at his mouth. "Like tickling."
no subject
"You'll learn. Just like you learned why it was a bit awkward for me. Hey, for all you know, she might actually like it, since you two are going to be on an actual date."

"At least I don't have to remind you to wear a sweater in case it gets cold out." Smirking, she paused and glanced up. "But, no, I'm not giving you a bath. Nice try."

"It would serve you right. That poor girl should know what she's getting herself into."
no subject
no subject
"You'd better, Frosty." Smiling, she leaned back in her seat instead, stretching in anticipation of getting up. "Who knows? Maybe I'll end up coming to you for advice some time."
no subject
no subject
She braced herself for some ego-boasting quip about how his upcoming date would be the best ever, never to be immitated successfully. Or, on the other end, bowing to her superior wisdom of the subject (...not that that was really saying much).

The smile briefly faded as she stared back at him, trying to gauge exactly what he meant by that. When it eventually did reappear, it was a lot more forced than before.
"Jack..." she begins, hesitantly, as if she almost didn't want to know the answer. "...and...what kind of advice would that be?"
FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW HE'D SAY IT
/high-five
...for some reason, it was a lot less awkward than she thought it would be.
When her head lifted again, there was a similar twinkle of mischief in her bright blues as well.
"Is that so? And just what makes you think I would ever date you?" A smile, so he would know it wasn't meant to be an insult.
