Wιѕ∂σм ιѕ αℓℓ I ηєє∂ (Grey)

[pipintan]

He put his elbows on his crossed knees, flashing her a sly grin. "Well, I wouldn't be complaining about it," he mused.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"Hmm. Would you gladly prance around with me in the halls? Say that your girlfriend is a Slytherin?" Emilaya raised a slender brow, "Would you... Walk with me in the gardens? Would you take my hand at lunch?"

[pipintan]

He swallowed, his excitement vanishing almost immediately. "Er...well," he stuttered, rubbing the back of his neck. Would he be able to do that? Sure, being around her was an amazing high for him, though was he able to do this in public? He had stated before that he felt uncomfortable being seen with her and he couldn't just say that he would do so if he received a kiss, that was just cruel. Reid cleared his voice, pushing his glasses up his nose again. "I...I think I could...maybe."

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

Emilaya smiled. Slow, gentle. It dawned across her face like the sun came up in the sky, sweeping her eyes with warm blue and making her body posture seem more relaxed, more easy-going.
"Once that 'maybe' becomes 'yes', let me know. I don't date maybes."

[pipintan]

Reid let out a sigh and a sad smile appeared. "Alright, alright. I can understand that," he replied finally, "when it does, I'll make sure to give you a ring. Until then..." He got to his feet and gave a small peck on her cheek, before gathering his things and walking out of the dungeon.

She followed him for a time, before turning down a certain hall to her own quarters.

(Next skip? )

[pipintan]

(Sure! ^^ Do you have a preference to when?)

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

(Hmm.. Like two weeks later? So Reid can think things over?)

[pipintan]

(Works with me! )

TIME SKIP

Reid twisted his wand in his hands, staring off into space, as he leaned against one of the corridor walls. Occasionally, he would mutter under his breath, before frowning irritably, shaking his head, and dragging a hand through his hair. He looked more and more strained as the minutes slipped by.

It had been a couple weeks since he and Emilaya had talked. He hadn't been trying to avoid her, quite the contrary actually, though it seemed like since their little moment in the dungeon was their last. Well, it's not like I'm trying my best to talk to her, he thought to himself dryly, scowling slightly.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

She slipped into the dungeon, listening to her music. She jerked when she saw him and her lips pulled into a grin, "Reid!"

[pipintan]

He jolted out of his thoughts, almost letting out a yelp of surprise. He turned around, his eyes wide, before they soften to see her. "Emilaya, hi!" He said, clearing his throat, trying to brush off his almost-yelp. He jogged up to her, giving her an abashed smile, "I...wanted to ask you something- Well tell you really-" Reid paused, blushing slightly, looking irritated. "Er...I'm not so good at these types of things."

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

She grinned, tossed her arms around him and hugged him tight, "Well just tell me!" She leaned away and grinned at him.

[pipintan]

He smiled slightly, looking like he might be sick. He swallowed, before taking a deep breath, closing his eyes. "Well...I've thought about what we said last time," Reid slowly said, trying to pick his words carefully. "And...er...I think I can do everything that you wanted me to do."

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

She cupped his cheeks, leaning forward and upward on her tiptoes to kiss him. To remind him of why he chose her, chose this. She tugged very, very gently on his bottom lip with her teeth and leaned away, minty words blown across his lips, "Very good choice, Reid."

[pipintan]

"I try," he replied, his voice croaky from her kiss, a goofy smile on his face. "Though I'm surprised actually, you don't seem that unnerved that I decided this," he said, clearing his throat, "did you expect me to do this?"

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"I never make expectations," She stroked his cheekbone, "So it makes me even more excited when you do what I hoped for."

[pipintan]

He leaned into her touch, her hands cool against his hot skin, closing his eyes. "I missed you," he finally said, quite frankly, after a moment of silence, opening his eyes to look at her.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

She lightly nudged him into a chair and plopped down on his lap. She shrugged out of her tight leather jacket and nuzzled into his chest. "Put your arms around me," She murmured into his neck, nuzzling her nose against the hollow of his throat.

[pipintan]

Reid complied almost instantly, wrapping his arms around her waist. He shivered slightly, goosebumps raising on his arms, as her breath tickled against his skin. "You're quite demanding today," he replied, kissing her forehead, a smile twitching on his lips.

[ηarcissus ιn chains]

"I'm demanding every day," She chuckled, lipping at his neck, "You just don't see me every day."
