[ He smirks, his lip curling just enough that a flash of sharp canine shines through. ]
I'm famous for it.
[ Sarcasm, obviously.
It's somehow easier to do things that frighten him when he doesn't let himself consider what it is that's actually happening, and focusing on the paparazzi behind them, on the competitive nature of their friendship, allows him to meet her halfway as she leans over the console.
The first kiss is chaste in the extreme, just a gentle press of two closed mouths, but it still manages to send a gentle wash of warmth spreading through him.
Kate's a pretty girl, anyone with eyes could see that. Kate is, also, one of his closest friends, someone he willingly turns to when he's having a hard time because he knows that, even if she can't help him, she'll at least be sympathetic to his plight and support him through whatever hardships he's dealing with. If he had to choose a girlfriend, he'd want to choose someone like Kate, someone he could laugh with, who can laugh at him without being cruel, who's seen his vulnerable underbelly and still thinks he's worth her time.
He might be making a mistake, here, blurring these lines. ]
