[ WP ] An individual 's dilemma upon discovering a love potion : Use it to make their crush fall in love with them , or use it to make them fall in love with someone who has a crush on them ?

So... I did n't really get to the crux of the prompt. This is more the set up to what would be a longer story. It's set at an anime con because that's where all of my youthful experience in crushing on jerks while ignoring the nice guys who were crushing on me happened. Sorry if it is too incomplete to post!

 Andy, Gabe, Josh, and Janie tumbled into the room, tripping over piles of brochures, empty cups, plastic armor parts, and other bits of con detritus. Gabe rolled over the unmade bed and onto his back. “ I can ’ t believe it! ” he cried. 
 
 Josh jumped on top of him, bouncing the bed a couple of times. “ Believe it, man! It ’ s over. Done! You didn ’ t win, and they ’ re not going to tell us who DID win. ” 
 
 Janie pulled off her long green wig and sat on the edge of the other bed. The one that was hers alone at Andy ’ s insistence, even though it meant two of the boys had to sleep on the floor. “ It makes sense, ” she said. “ I mean, if everyone knew who won, then as soon as someone started liking that person, like, everyone would know, right? And how would you feel if you fell in love with someone and then someone told that they ’ d just won a love potion and probably gave it to you? ” 
 
 Gabe sat up, pushing Josh away. “ Yeah, but you wouldn ’ t care! Because you ’ d be in love with them! ” He crashed back against the pillows and gave an exaggerated cry. “ Kaia!!!! My one chance with you! Gone!!!! ” 
 
 Josh threw a pillow at him. “ You wouldn ’ t have a chance with Kaia with a million love potions, man. She is above you. You are beneath her. ” Gabe clutched his heart and rolled off the bed. 
 
 Andy leaned against the dresser, which had gone unused for the entire weekend. “ What I think is that there never really was a love potion. ” He had a slight southern accent and a more than slight weight problem. “ I mean, think about it. A love potion? Have you ever heard of a love potion? And now all of the sudden there is one, and they ’ re giving it away as a prize at an anime convention? It doesn ’ t make any sense. Right Janie? ” 
 
 Janie smiled. “ You ’ re probably right. ” Her hand instinctively went to her pocket and closed around the small glass vial. 
 
 Andy started to say something else, but was interrupted when Bradley burst into the room. “ That was some BULL SHIT. ” Bradley complained, throwing his Mandalorian helmet onto Janie ’ s bed. 
 
 She picked it up. “ Careful! I know you're mad, but it's not worth messing up your kit. ” She had done most of the paintwork on the helmet. 
 
 “ Fuck my kit and fuck this fucking con. ” Bradley searched the countertop for the alcoholic remains of the previous night ’ s party. Finding a nearly empty bottle of Southern Comfort, he yanked the paper cover off of a complimentary coffee mug, poured out what was left, and drank. “ We ASSURE you. ” He sneered, affecting the self-important tone of the con organizer who announced the fate of the grand prize. “ The prize is real, but out of RESPECT for the winner ’ s wishes, we are keeping their identity a secret. ” He drained the mug of alcohol and sank onto Janie ’ s bed. “ When are we leaving? ” 
 
 “ I kind of wanted to go to the Ace Attorney panel, ” Janie said apologetically, “ but if we need to go… ” 
 
 “ I can drive you, Janie. ” Andy said. “ We can clean up here, and still be ready in time for check-out. ” 
 
 Josh added, “ My mom won ’ t even be here ‘ til one. ”
