Upon hearing his name, Zeke looked up and instantly shot a smile to Gwen. "Yep?" It was somehow painful to see her a few inches away, to just be with her, to be near her...and yet feel like she was far away, not within his reach. A precious gemstone he laid his eyes upon in a high class museum or exhibit that he can't take away.
No. Ice Princess was not his to keep. She wasn't even his to begin with.
......
Oh the joy.
‘I umm... just wanted to tell you that...’ Pause. The Ravenclaw just stared at her shoes for a moment. A rather long moment.
Just finish that sentence..., she told herself. But for some reason, all she could think about was everything that could go wrong.
UGH.
She would just have to gather her non-existent courage. Pft. There was a reason why she wasn’t a Gryffindor. She was no good at these things... Gwen always tended to back out in the last minute... And now she was seriously considering finding some stupid excuse and just get back to finding ice cream.
Well... better finish what she wanted to say.
‘So ummm... I umm...’ TWO WORDS THERE.
Making progress. And then she finally raised her eyes from the ground, not staring at her shoes anymore. Still trying to find her words and trying HARD not to change the topic in the last minute. So another moment of silence.
Until finally...
‘I love you’
