empirics:

Jopson smiled.  He has dimples, Edward thought with no small amount of despair.

For better or for worse, Edward Little was sure Thomas Jopson barely noticed him at all.

For @thegreenmeridian, who requested: “Edward moping about how he has Immoral Feels for Jopson that Jopson obviously will never return because he’s so Good and Pure, and being completely oblivious to the fact that Jopson has in fact been flirting with him and coming onto him. And Jopson snapping and making it very, very obvious in some way,” for which I wrote 6k of pining, because my self-control is not nearly as good as Jopson’s.
