If he registered the stronger grip he was given by Selina in response, Gideon made no outward show of it. Though he did gradually stop his rubbing of her back, instead using his hand to lightly brush a strand of hair away from her face as she turned her head to lean against him.
"I know Selina," he replied offering assurances that he understood. Gideon briefly leaned down and kissed the top of her head and her auburn locks ever so lightly before straighten so he was simply leaning over her. "I know..." he repeated in a whisper.
For a moment Selina forgot that she was even in the Common Room with a ton of her pride lining the walls. It was just the two of them in the Common Room with no one else bothering them. It had been hard this term to get real alone time together. She could count on one hand how many times they were together alone. She was certain that people who dated should have spent more time alone together than just a handful of times. Then again she and Gideon were not the average couple. In many ways they were like best friends, but on the other hand Selina felt that she could maybe, well, that was unimportant right now.
Her fingers clenched onto the back of his robe as she hugged him. Then she heard him whisper back to her and she smiled. When he kissed the top of her head she closed her eyes and leaned her head against his chest.
After a few moments of holding onto him and resting her head on his chest, she pulled away from him enough so she could look up at him, but she kept her arms wrapped around him,
"You must think me very foolish, sir," she retorted trying to make the mood lighter.
