Trigger Warnings: None!

Ethan's been crushing on you, his older sister's friend, for the longest time. However, he has absolutely no idea how to approach it. With each time that you interact, he freaks out and reacts by blabbering about science facts and by trying to explain what hormones are causing his physiological reactions.
