"Nothing I'd rather do, love," he cooed, holding her closer to him.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

She gave a happy little purr, nuzzling against him.

[pipintan]

He rubbed her back, rubbing in circles, as he hummed in the back of his throat.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"Reid, will you tell me about your family?"

[pipintan]

He paused, his back stiffening slightly. "Er...why do you ask?"

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"Because I don't have one," Her answer was soft.

[pipintan]

Reid was quiet, thinking, as he traced patterns on her back. Finally, he relented and sighed softly. "Alright, well...let's see. I have two younger brothers who are twins and who are soon going to be joining the Hogwarts family next year, I have an older sister who works in Greece as a communication specialist, my dad works in the Ministry as a secretary, and my mum stays at home." He gave a small shrug. "It's your normal family situation, I guess."

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

She nuzzled against him, silent for a moment before murmuring, "I don't have a family. My father died in a car accident when I was seven, my mother died in a fire that took my little brother and older sister when I was nine and I've lived on my own since I was fifteen."

[pipintan]

He was quiet, taking this all in. "I'm sorry," came his quiet reply. "It really sounds like you haven't had a chance to recuperate, huh?"

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

".. Not at all," She nuzzled her nose over her collarbone, looking thoughtful, "I came to Hogwarts as an angry young boy with no family and too much blood on his hands, and now look at me."

[pipintan]

He hummed in the back of his throat. "Hmm, I guess that's a positive way of looking at it," he said after a while.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"I guess."

[pipintan]

He was quiet, taking this a in. "I hope you didn't feel forced in telling Mr that," he finally said, a bit hesitantly.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"No," Emilaya looked up, tracing gentle patterns on his chest, "I never feel forced to do anything with you, Reid. Never."

[pipintan]

He let out a breath he hadn't known he had been holding. "Good. This is..well, this is all new to me," he replied, a bit sheepishly.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"I know. It's.. It's new to me too. The only time I'd ever had.. You know," She blushed, "I was still a boy."

[pipintan]

He hadn't realized how nervous he had been around her, how nervous he would be if she found out he was a virgin and she...well, wasn't. He let out a breathless laugh, hugging her closer to him. "You have no idea how happy that makes me," he said.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"Oh?" She looked up at him for a long moment, hugging him back with equal love and admiration, "I'm sorry that you weren't my biological first, I just.."

[pipintan]

"No, no, no, don't worry about that. I just meant, that, well..." He paused, trying his best to try and explain this, without being offensive. "I'm happy that I'm emotionally, your first," he finally said.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"You are," She cupped his cheek gently, "You are my first. God, I.." She hesitated for a long moment, "Reid, I love you."
