Tally jumps back, then turns to aim a strike at Gideon's shoulder. She's not concentrating on the sword fight very much, though, because her memories are icy-clear right now. Both David and Zane had kissed her first, made the first move. She'd done it a few times when she'd kissed uglies way before her fifteenth birthday, let alone her sixteenth, but not when it really mattered. The way Gideon makes her feel sometimes makes her think of Shay, the desperate want to belong to someone. They're teetering on the edge of friendship and flirting in a totally butterflies-inducing way.
"Then would you kiss me?" she blurts out, surprising herself. "I know you have your, um, Harrow at home, so it doesn't have to be anything serious. I just... want to." Magnus had definitely made a good point that she shouldn't use Gideon for pure bubbliness purposes, but this isn't that. This is just Tally asking for what she wants, even if she's not entirely sure she knows all the reasons why she wants it.
