[ allison doesn't feel the heat, but she does see that blush. it's lovely, seeing ben this genuinely happy. ordinarily, she'd poke a little fun at him being tomato-red, but she doesn't want to sour ben's joy. he needs more of this in his life. deserves more. ]
Your first kiss???? Ben why didn't you open with this that's WAY better than cosmo!
[ allison is elated and absolutely beaming. the teenage her would have probably clapped a little, but allison's trying to keep it at least a little classy, so she settles for the wide, wide grin.
allison gives a slow nod of thanks, grateful that ben doesn't think it's weird that she needs to find out this information herself. or, even if he does think it, he doesn't show it, which allison is fine with, too. it's better than a fight, than hostility. much better than someone getting hurt. ]
Ok that's actually pretty cool? I could see how that could be romantic. [ allison is envisioning cole and ben having some picnic or whatever and cole leans over and says "the trees think you're beautiful" and it's very sappy and very cute!!
she doesn't press on the part related to ben's powers. she sees that squirm and feels a slight pang of guilt. there she goes again, not being as sensitive as she could be to how ben feels about his powers. ]
He's a spirit? What does that mean?? [ he must still be a physical thing, right? if ben kissed him? ]
