Kyle's thick brows knit together. "You don't have to be polite with me," he pointed out. "Like, I think we're friends, right? So you can say whatever. I'm not going to judge you unless it's something SUPER sick. Like reddit-legendary sick."

Kyle nodded, stroking his chin absently. "Yeah," he said. "I mean, it makes no sense, but a magic flower doesn't make sense either, so."

He threw an arm around David's shoulders and gave him a squeeze. "I'll help you," he promised.
