He allowed his blue eyes to graze over her, and then away, staring down the dirt pathway and wanting so desperately to give in to his guilty pleasure. Whenever faced with an uncomfortable situation, and being outside, Jayce tended to rip the grass out of the ground, and sprinkle the little pieces around himself, like a child. The sixth year allowed himself another peek at his best friend before laying his eyes back on the pathway where they would stay.
Well, they'd stay there unless he was distracted, which would probably happen rather quickly.
And there it was. His distraction. He peeked over at Eiri from his peripheral vision, not daring full eye contact. He knew better. And he knew he was... in trouble? Yeah, that's what it was. The boy sighed, hearing the voice he secretly loved to listen to. Was everything- What? "Of course everything's okay.. Why would you think otherwise?" He asked her curiously, taking her hand in his own again. "You would never lose me. How many times do i have to tell you? I, Jayce Peter Cannon, will never leave you, Eirian Nerys Vaughn. Not now, not ever. So, get use to my company." He grinned.
Eirian listened to his words; they made sense. It wasn't often that they did, but right now he really did make sense. Sometimes, that was how she could tell that he was serious. But then again, she usually knew when Jayce meant business; he was far too easy to read. It was only recently that he had gotten confusing and weird and mysterious. Eiri assumed it was because he was hiding something, though she couldn't be sure what. The last time he was like this, it involved Hayley... and guilt... and love. Eirian just couldn't stand it if he were to get another damn girlfriend.
"I do not know anymore," she muttered, shaking her head. Multiple strands of hair fell into her face, but she didn't mind; it kept her from showing her depression so easily. "Those words... They mean much. But I cannot believe them... I can never believe them. Everyone leaves me... They always leave me." Soon, she would be left alone, wouldn't she? There were only two people left that really had the ability to harm her with their departure, and one of them was sitting right in front of her. Jay would leave her; she knew it. Eirian aimed to marry Thiago as soon as she was old enough... That was the only way to guarantee his presence in her life. But... how could she do that with Jay?
Eiri gazed up the gates as they disappeared into oblivion from her viewpoint. It was as if they reached all the way into the sky this way... These gates that kept them all in at Hogwarts, that kept the death and despair out. If only they could stay here forever... But this was Thiago's last year, and she and Jayce were only one year behind him... "I cannot believe it," the Brasileira murmured softly. "It will be two years ago that we met here... Two years. Has time passed that fast? I wonder if we were ever not friends... But I also wonder if we befriended each other just yesterday..."
Oh, gosh. Was she really getting to that point? It wasn't even her last year and Eirian was getting...
sentimental. Eurgh. What was the world coming to?
