[One sentence on his phone screen and heat rushes through him like a tidal wave, sudden and unexpected, knocking any other thoughts out of his head. He's dumb with it, for a long moment, staring at the words, considering where he definitely hadn't considered before.

But he hadn't considered because Koby isn't for consideration. Idle imaginings, ideas, maybe a dream or two, sure, but that was all easily tucked away in the box labelled not yours to think about. Not held central in his mind, turned over and over, image filled out, considered.

Like a mental bucket of ice water over the head, he reminds himself he shouldn't be doing that now, either. Koby isn't really talking about him. He's just the guy next to "Me" in Koby's contacts.]

I'd probably go more for "Hey, Koby, have you tried pegging? It's pretty great. No pressure if you don't like the idea, but, want to try it with me?"

But your way will totally work. I mean, you'd know the person you're going to be saying it to better than me, but if you were saying that to me, it'd work.
