At the compliment, the boy gave a tiny half smile. "I think you're the first that's said that." Gilly and Etta had both at times made him feel like his presence calmed them or helped when they were feeling down, but to his recollection neither had outright said it - not that he expected that high of praise from anyone. Plus, he didn't do it for praise - he just wanted his people happy or at the bare minimum, to feel supported.

Drake missed the Fwooper's actions (which he would be sad about later) because he was focused on studying his friend's face. Though certainly nothing he saw there could have prepared him for the admission. Had Aryan stated he had a crush on Bryony (which Drake honestly expected and ever since his own complicated thoughts had surfaced he'd squashed them down because it was silly to even entertain them), Drake wouldn't have been surprised. In fact, he might have even let slip an 'obviously'. But.... The fact the boy also had a crush on him was something he'd never truly considered.

But...... There it was out in the open. Drake could actually feel a smile start to stretch on his lips, but the moment he remembered this was a source of consternation for his friend, he quickly moved his hand to cover it until he could gain control of his muscles again. "And I guess you think if Bryony knows she'll be mad at me for it?" Which .... He wasn't entirely certain what that outcome would be, but Bryony not liking HIM was far more likely than her taking issue with Ary, he supposed. "I stand by though that... I don't think it's your responsibility to have to monitor how Bryony and I react to each other. You can't help your feelings. And I certainly wouldn't blame you for them." Now, now he was very certain he was out of his element for talking to Bry's feelings, so Drake made no attempt.

Feeling like perhaps his face was under control again, Drake dropped his hand and pretended to be very interested in a hedged Grindylow, which the legs were moving slightly as if it was still submerged in water as well. "I... I don't want to complicate things further, so I'm only sharing this in the spirit of honesty and .. and because I appreciate you telling me how you feel. But .... Ihaveacrushonyoutoo." It was exciting to say out loud and yet, he couldn't help the twinge of guilt he felt too - both towards Bryony and Aryan in case Drake saying as much made things any harder.

Drake did make him feel better even if he didn’t realise it! Ary treasured his friend’s presence, which admittedly, if it hadn’t been there would have made Ary sink further down the rabbit hole of feelings. He knew the importance of letting those that helped in some way when such sentiments were being thought. Ary always had trouble saying exactly what he help - he usually resorted to letting some form of physical language like a pat on the arm - but luckily, he somehow had managed to get his thought out. It usually was that easy with Drake.

While Drake was looking at him all along, Ary was seemingly determined not to gaze back at the other guy. Thankfully the plant-y creatures were interesting in their own right. Not even in the silence that dragged on did he tear his eyes away from the Fwooper. This silence was misinterpreted by him of Drake processing the news and trying to figure out a gentle way of letting him down. That movement of Drake’s hand could have easily been him trying to cover his mouth in shock.

“Uh huh. She’ll be mad at you. I can take her tantrums because I’ve dealt with them all my life. But… this’ll undo all, if not most, of whatever strides you two made over the summer.” Did his friend sense how these realisations were eating away at him? It was horrible having to deal with the stress of it all on a daily basis. “No, but it does, Drake. You’re two of my best friends and if you guys end up falling out…” Ary let the words hang as he stuffed his hands in his trouser pockets and kicked moodily at a small stone in his path. “I liked it better when I didn’t have these sort of feelings.”

His mood was going from bad to worse. It made no sense for him to stick around if he was just going to continue ruining Drake’s afternoon. Ary was already making up his mind to head out to the barns - no, to an unused classroom where he would be more difficult to find - when the other Slytherin spoke again. Ary heard the words but his brain didn’t seem to be catching up. Complicate things? Crush too? “What?”
