sweetly bitter

‘ ARE YOU FOR REAL ? ’ he scoffs, shaking his head, fully invested now. ‘ you know how to get anyone into your bed in ten words or less but this —– ? ’ he starts, tilting his head towards the slytherin in question’s direction. ‘ this makes you speechless ? ’ marcus clucks his tongue before taking a sip of his coffee, pensive. ‘ if you don’t sort this out, maybe it’s us who’s going to annihilate you for the next match. ’

“i just don’t know what do you even want from me anymore, luci!” nathaniel threw his hands up in the air, letting out an exasperated huff. he was just so bloody tired, tired of their fights which were beginning to be an everyday thing for them, tired of trying to read lucien’s mind and as much as he hated himself for admitting that, he was tired of this relationship. for a while now, it just seemed like they were just going in circles. what if this was the end? what if what people were saying was true and nate really wasn’t meant to be lucky enough to last in a relationship. 

but he loves lucien, he truly does. fuck, he has never felt about anyone the way he felt... feels about luci. but what if he was just a fool to think that this was going to last? all their secret meetings, secret touches, secret love. and he didn’t even mind keeping things low-key as long as it meant that he was going to be with him. but all of that was shattering now.

“Well… you have a point but it just seems weird when food is involved.” She playfully swatted his arm before smoothing her hair down. “That’s me. A classic in modern times.” Kat offered up. “And where do you hope the day will take you?”

A CHUCKLE MOVES PAST HIS LIPS, eyes fixated on the other in pure amusement. ‘ not everything i say is about my fucking adventures but well, that was a good effort, ’ he teases, following the other’s gaze. lucien loxias —– a man of few words but of many talents. a good enough reason for nate to have dated him.. among other things. he recalls things were going so smoothly until it wasn’t, until a certain air of hostility seemed to linger in the air every time both men were in the same vicinity. marcus turns back to look at the other. ‘ why don’t you just go talk to him and stop this.. weird stalking from afar you got on ? ’

Mercer’s eyes widened, ghost and hanky panky being too much to handle in one sentence. “Now is not the time for frick frack talk, Nate. Jeez, I haven’t even had my brownies yet.” With a small blush, he shook his head and headed down the hall.

“Travers you sexy fuck” he laughed and wiggled his body “I’ve got loads on honour left. I’ve got tonnes of the stuff. You know I do. Honour is my middle name mate”

“I despise you!” Ivy yelled back with fury in her eyes “My life would be absolute bliss without you in it and the sooner you come to terms with that the better” she hissed, rolling her eyes at him following her. 

“Not really, just the usual with people making comments” nova shrugged lightly and smiled “I am not a nerd” she gasped and let out a laugh “the Gryffindors aren’t bad. You’re such a grump when it comes to them”

“I don’t know yet!  I heard a rumor that there’s a good chance of finding something by the lake but I haven’t been able to make my way out there yet.”  Cassie admitted.  She wasn’t very good at sneaking around, getting caught before she could even make it out there.

Aurora couldn’t help the slight blush that arose on her cheeks, and she just rolled her eyes a bit. “Cheesy pickup lines aren’t gonna get you anywhere, ya know.”

“They haven’t switched them since McGonagall was a student?” But it came out more like an exclamation, eyes widening because he could see it being true. “Yeah, I’m fine. Nothing, but the usual…stuff. What about you? We should catch up.”

A soft chuckle elicited itself from freckled lips as she reached up to place a gentle hand upon his cheek, “Somehow I think your ego would survive.” She teased, giving his cheek a tap before retreating back to around his waist, “That sounds awfully boring. Hopefully something MORE scandalous happens. OOOO. What are the odds that we’ll catch Teddy in the act of breaking the rules? He’s always bragging about how he gets away with everything. I want to give him a detention!”
