Something clicked into place as she spoke. "Oh, right. I'm with you now." Or at least as far as he could tell. He blinked twice. "I'm sorry, I really am," he said, taking her hand in his so she knew he was serious. He tried not to let the color rise in his cheeks. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to have to deal with so much. But no one blames you, especially me. I'm sure you did great out there," he finished with a smile, regretfully pulling his hand away.
Yes, that is what people do when someone they care about is sick. But for a reason Keefer wouldn't dare say aloud, this revelation still made him incredibly content. She had just admitted she cared about him, and that was worth a Quidditch victory any day in his book. Wait, seriously? As good as a Quidditch victory? He was in way over his head here. As soon as they were done talking, he was headed straight to the Owlery. He should've done it sooner, but there was no way Healer Tillstorm would've let him out of bed. Somehow he managed to nod in agreement without appearing distracted, for which he was abundantly thankful.
"Oh, that's all?" He half expected something far worse, like inadvertently breaking the Code of Conduct for How to Behave Around Girls. He let out a sigh of relief. "Yeah, I understand all about stressful matches, trust me." Like the Championship last term, as a first year Captain with a first year Seeker. Talk about nerves. "And that's why I thought you deserved the flowers," he explained, trying to bring the conversation back to a happier subject.
Amazing.
It was smart of her to take her time to explain, apparently, otherwise he would've understood nothing. But he followed her explanation nicely. The fact that he held her hand for a little while was an unexpected but great surprise. Truth be told, this hadn't been his fault, at all, so there was no actual need for an apology. She was smiling, though, because Kate was finding his apology much-too-necessary, "It's okay, Keefer," she forgives him, okay? Even when there was hardly anything he needed to be forgiven for. "I would've done better if I'd played Chaser, though." HINT. Her tone was not one of regret, although she'd rather he'd kept her hand in his.
And he agreed. Well, everyone would agree, because she was right.
What... exactly went through his mind? Kate smiled when he asked if that was all. It was. And that smile could only widen when he pretty much knew what she meant. "Of course, you were Captain last year," whereas the girl with the golden hair (thanks to the fire) had only experienced that ONCE, so basically, this was her first time trying to fulfill a position that wasn't precisely hers. She did alright, didn't she? BEAM. "That's very sweet of you," she said, kissing his cheek for good measure. Why, of course, she was referring to the flowers.
Making sure no other paper was on the floor, she took her former seat, "Join me," this time her hand took his, and her eyes simply stated that he should do as told, in a very nice way. "How are you feeling?" He was completely okay, right? |
