Ethan chuckled lightly and gave Mick a grateful smile at his last words. "No.. I really appreciate the gesture.. and for having someone to talk to." And he sincerely meant that. He wasn't sure if the advice would help, but at least the boy was interested enough to listen and offer his assistance. He looked at the other boy for a moment, contemplating. He felt like he could trust him enough to give him some detail.. and maybe see what he thought after that.

"Well.. to give you some specifics.." he began, "There is this girl who I'm friends with.. I know she'd like to be more than friends and I'd like to get to know her better myself. I had thought about asking her out.. but before I had gotten the chance to, I asked someone else out." He paused for a moment, thinking how best to continue. "She's a friend too.. and I know she also wants to be more than friends." He'd be surprised if the whole school didn't know after she practically announced it at the last Quidditch match.. Taking a deep breath, he added, "I really like her though.. and I guess I got caught up in the heat of the moment." He thought about how close he came to kissing her. "I did tell her that I just wanted to see how things worked out though.. People at this school seem to like jumping into relationships." And he was not ready to be anybody's boyfriend. "I'm just not sure if I did the right thing.. or if there is a right thing.. What do you think?" He took another glance at the boy. "I'm just worried about one of them getting hurt.. they're both my friends, you know?"
The more Ethan described his troubles, the more Mick understood was able to come up with a better answer. Even though girl troubles are kind of new to him, Mick mostly spent time with his guy friends or his parents. At least he was doing his best to offer help.

"To tell you the truth, someone's going to get hurt either way," he replied, glancing out his bedisde window before looking back at Ethan. "The way it sounds, there's no avoiding it. You should probably let the girl know, the friend you mentioned first, that you're not entirely sure on your feelings for her." He stopped to think about what else he wants to add. Everything coming out of his mouth sounded right to him. Maybe he knew more than he lets on. "As for the girl you did ask out," Mick said, "let her know that you don't want to rush into things. I may not know her, but I'm sure she'll understand. It's not like you asked her to marry you..." He paused for a moment, and jokingly smirked at him. "Did you?"
