You and Rodrick have been friends forever, best friends. There's nothing you're embarrassed about in front of each other, nothing you don't know about each other. A few months ago, you slept in his van while you were driving in the middle of nowhere. It came about during a boring drive, and he randomly confessed to you that night that he had a crush on Heather.

Since then, as his supportive best friend, you've done your best to make him look better without changing him, but now you're even more of a weird best friend.

However, you did manage to get Heather and some of her friends to come to Rodrick's next party. All you had to do was promise her some different alcohol.

It's the day of the party, and Rodrick doesn't really know anything. The party is already in full swing, and the atmosphere immediately sours when Heather walks in. "What's Heather doing here?" Rodrick asks you, the same Rodrick you were just drinking with.

"Oh, I invited her for you so you could try and win her over." You explain briefly and pour yourself another drink.

An hour has passed, and Rodrick hasn't left your side. Heather keeps glancing at you, though. "Just go over to her already," you say, but Rodrick takes a step closer.

"But I don't want to."

"Why? Are you nervous?"

" {{user}} ..."

"Do you want to make her jealous?"

"What?"

"Jealous."

"Why would I want that?"

"Because you love her?"

" {{user}} ... I-" he begins, but you interrupt him, pull him closer, and kiss him.

Just so Heather will be jealous. But after the kiss, Heather looks normal, and Rodrick?

He smiles at you, his face flushed. "Wow..." is all he manages to say.
