Having been manhandled or whatever it end(s? ed?) up being, John is sat down in a chair, bright red and shaking slightly.

This is the most humiliating thing to ever happen to him.

And now he's in a room full of cool people (Bro, Dave, Dean, Santana) who are going to ensure it gets worse before it gets better, if it gets better, which he's assuming it will not. He's probably going to die here.

Of embarrassment.

So for now he's just going to pull his hood over his head and hide his face, too ashamed to say anything or look at anyone for the time being.

"...hey. Kid."

Dean pulls up a chair, flipping it around and settling on it with his arms folded across the back. Leaning in, he flicks at John's hood.

"This ain't a police interrogation, man. Loosen up a little. This stuff's good to know."

He smiles encouragingly.

"You gotta have some questions, right? I ain't gonna judge."

Okay, maybe just a little.

Oh God, he's sitting backwards on his chair. He's so cool.

"My questions are probably stupid! Apparently. Ugh."

John sinks down a little in his seat, but at least he's peeking out at Dean now.

"I bet it's a little intimidating with Santana steerin' you in here." He leans closer, dropping his voice. "Between you and me, she makes a lotta people feel stupid. It's a gift. And-"

He claps John on the shoulder in a companionable fashion.

"The only stupid question is the one you don't ask," Dean says sagely, nodding as though he possesses the wisdom of the ages. Which he does. Shut up.

John ventures slightly further out of his shell.

"Last time I asked a sex question, lots of people laughed at me. Lots of people were helpful too! But people laughed. And Terezi hit me in the crotch."

[dashboardlite.livejournal.com]

Dean snorts-

"Yeah, that sounds like Terezi."

-but recovers quickly. It's a skill to compose himself.

"So why don't we start from the top, huh? What kinda questions you got?"

[hamburellakind.livejournal.com]

John sighs. He supposes he better say something or they'll never let him leave. Or they will, but they'll revoke his rights to his penis or something.

Sigh.

"I guess I have some from that...incident. That I asked everybody about."

It takes him a few more seconds than necessary to get up the nerve to ask, so his hood gets played with pretty masterfully. Look, he can even tie it into a knot! Haha...ha.

"When do people stop being virgins, exactly? Everybody says different stuff and I think...it's probably bad to not be a virgin at my age?"

[dashboardlite.livejournal.com]

...hoo, boy. That's a question, all right. Dean had to give this talk to Sammy, though. It's not so bad. It's not like John's going to know that he can just get Casa Erotica XIII (the best volume, in Dean's humble opinion) from the mansion closets.

"Dude, it's totally cool to be a virgin at thirteen. It'd probably be weird if you weren't. Most people lose their virginity when they're sixteen."

It's just a statistics thing. Go figure.

"You stop bein' a virgin when you have sex for the first time."

[hamburellakind.livejournal.com]

John hesitates. That sounds good and all, but he's still not sure.

"Does it have to be sex with...another person?"

[dashboardlite.livejournal.com]

Poor kid.

"Yeah. It's gotta be another person. Doesn't really count if you're just gettin' off to a skin mag."

[hamburellakind.livejournal.com]

This makes sense.

"Good, 'cause that's...all I've done..."

Maybe he's not as clueless as everybody thinks if he's on the right track there, huh? Yeah.

...It might be better if he could talk about it out loud, though.

[dashboardlite.livejournal.com]

"And hey, man, there's no shame in waitin'. Some people like to do that. It wasn't me, but whatever, it's a choice."

Dean shrugs, tilting his head to one side to get John's eye contact again.

"So what other questions d'you got, Hoss?"

[hamburellakind.livejournal.com]

John racks his brain, and one thing that just keeps coming up-- with everyone, actually --is stuff about being gay or straight, girls and guys. He's only really considered being bisexual an option since Dave told him he was. There's so many things that confused him about it, but mostly...

Well, he told Karkat he wasn't gay, that one time, of course. But he just never really considered it. He likes girls, like Liv Tyler and, uh, others. But does that mean anything?

Dean's the oldest guy here (as far as John can tell, since Bro is the sort that doesn't seem to age like a normal human being) so maybe he...knows better.

John's voice goes especially quiet, mostly out of fear that Kurt or Dave or someone might get hurt by him asking this. After all, they just knew so maybe it's super stupid to ask...

"How d'you know if you're straight or...something else? I mean, for sure. I always get kinda...anxious about it when it comes up, I guess, so I don't listen when people talk about it. Not as well as I should, anyway."

Maybe that anxiety is a sign, actually.
