“you’re disgusting,” it’s with a wrinkle of his nose to match his words that he pushes eric away. his ears burn bright red, the only sign of will’s entire lack of any sort of experience and incredible embarrassment from his friend’s suggestive flirting. he ducks his head before the flush can spread to his cheeks. “god, i hate you.”

“What are you doing here?”

The inquiry made his muscles tense up and he slowly glanced up, a very displeased frown marring his features. He takes in the sight of the younger student. He knows they are from the same House by the colors on the boy’s uniform, but does the other think that’s enough to speak to someone older than him like that? Doesn’t he have manners? The frown turns into a glare as he pushes himself to his full height, having previously been crouching. He isn’t that tall, but he sure knows he can look intimidating when he wants to. He hopes it is working right now.

And yet, despite his annoyance, he ends up providing an answer: “Gardening, what does it look like I’m doing in a fucking greenhouse?” He rubs his hands together, causing the soil covering them to fall and he huffs as he brings the back of his right hand to his forehead to brush the strands of pink hair falling in front of his eyes. It’s not like he had been doing anything incriminating. He just liked to garden when he needed to clear his mind. It was relaxing. Some people had other outlets, gardening was his. Admittedly, this was not a very intimidating hobby.

“Send 😍 for my muse to tell yours three things they love about them.”

“I...uh--” The blonde quickly blushed and stuttered awkwardly. Typical Eric, of course he would ask such a question out of the blue. A lot of the times Violet thought he just did it on purpose, a way to rile the person on the receiving end as a type of test of character. Why? It’s Eric and that’s how Eric was, always playing games but always with a good heart.

“Your hair is very pretty and looks very smooth I suppose... I get jealous sometimes.” She chuckled sheepishly and touched the tips of her hair. That morning the humidity of the island had not been kind to her which explained why she had asked one of her girl friends to help her, however Eric’s hair still looked like it belonged to a hair commercial.

“Hmmm, your smile is also very bright and nice and your confidence is inspiring... I wish I was that confident.” her lips quirk up in a small smile as she looks down at her mug of tea and took a sip, a sudden thought popping into her head. Turning her head with a frown she wonders aloud.

“this is bullshit,” will kicks at a pebble, a frown on his face as he paces around. he shouldn’t complain, not really, when two of his three best friends are his roommates for this trip anyways. but he’d rather have three for three, especially considering the missing link is his bestest friend. “you should be in our room.”

you’ve got mail ! ( accepting )

“bold of you to assume i can lie,” malcolm says, rubbing his chin in serious contemplation. what he assumes is serious contemplation, anyway. frankly, he’s never contemplated anything seriously enough to be able to do this gesture with any sort of sincerity. feeling sheepish, he lowers his arm and tucks it into his pockets. “honestly, dude. i’m not lying. lying is for cowards and slytherins.” there’s no bite behind the taunt, just a tentative playfulness he hopes won’t accidentally piss eric off. or, piss him off more than he already is.

wait a minute. malcolm narrows his eyes. “i don’t even know what you’re accusing me off, what the hell.” denial was instinctual, but as far as he knows, he hasn’t done anything eric would have such a reaction to. maybe he got people mixed up. maybe matt did something weird. matt… mal… it’s all the same, right? loud gryffindor squad, unite. “do you wanna fight, mr. eric? is that it? are you looking for an excuse to throw the fuck down?” he puts his fists up in a mock-fighting position. “let’s brawl.”  

( he doesn’t actually want to fight eric, but in absence of Stuff That Makes Sense, violence solves all problems.

this is a bad philosophy ).
