FACTS? Ugh. Treyen didn't want to listen to any facts. So, he just closed his eyes and listened as Neptune summed up the whole problem. THAT made it sound even worse than it was, because he'd apologized...and no good came out of that.
He almost didn't feel Neptune's hand on his back until she started to tap her fingers against him. He was NO table, okay? At least Arya was not leaning on him too.
Treyen caught that. Experience. She'd been on the other side.
"Neptune...," he said, as his arm dropped to the side so he could see her better,
"...would he have gotten forgiveness on you behalf if he'd apologized to you?" Not that it was related, Ellie was different from Neptune in so many ways. Starting by the hair. But now he was just curious because Neptune never finished that part of the sentence.
Then that odd hug managed to make him want to sit straight again, but instead of looking to Neptune, he looked sideways...to Arya.
"I don't even know if she wants to talk to me," she never said he couldn't. And he wanted to respect her wishes, no?
Someone was happy.
He didn't like it.
"Mmhmm," yeah, that was his WHOLE answer. Truth be told, he was looking forward to summer, because then his distractions will become a constant in his life and he'll try to keep his mind away from any thought related to Ellie.
He probably won't succeed, but at least he ought to try.
OH, NO.
Treyen breathed in and out as he saw the one person who's name he hasn't utter in weeks. Like, after the kiss. The stupid kiss that ruined his life. He was hoping she wouldn't bring it up, though, not when both Neptune and Arya were aware of what had happened.
And she was carrying a box.
He, of course, pretended he wasn't seeing her, and kind of expected her to give that box to someone else. Really, he didn't want to see her. But she
was coming to him, because he felt the tapping and had no other choice but to turn his head to look at her.
Oh! Good thing she said 'Before you say anything' because he was going to say 'What now, Kurumi?' but he didn't. So, he just listened. He looked rather tired too. Exhausted, actually. OWLs and losing a Championship game, plus his girl, well, had managed to tire him quite a bit.
The match. The match. He hated that match. His last Quidditch game ever, no? Apparently.
There was a small smile on his face after she placed the box on the table. If he had to bet, he'd bet those were cupcakes. But before he could say thank you, he noticed that her hair was slowly changing colors...didn't she say she got better at controlling her abilities? That was super strange.
Wait, wait, seeing each other?
"Yeah, Kurumi, I don't think we'll be seeing each other this summer," not that they ever did. But he should say that.
"Thanks," he said, nodding to the box,
"But I think you better head back to your table and enjoy the feast," that was the nicest way possible he could say 'Please, go away' without hurting her, right?
