Raju was not at all surprised. “Sure, why not? I bet the team would love that.” And they would instantly like Renner; not to mention that they did deserve a nice treat for all the hard work that was put into the team. Did he forget to mention how immensely thoughtful his boyfriend was?
The Coach, however, was a tad surprised that Viano remembered white chocolates were his favourite. Truth be told, he didn’t recall giving that fact to any tabloid but then again, he had given - and continue to give - many interviews where quite a few topics were often covered. “I must have mentioned it at one point, but I don’t recall when. There are often so many questions thrown out during interviews. I’m flattered that you remembered though, Viano!’’ Raju had never visited the Ofelia School but it certainly had a great reputation. Viano was attending a fine educational institute. The question earned the boy a grin. “Sometimes I do, but it only happens when they’re prying into my personal life. I hate that Renner and the kids were pushed into the spotlight because of me.” He gave Renner and Vesper one of the apologetic looks he usually gave them when the tabloids tried to get at them. “Fortunately, Quidditch players, coaches included, in Britain are provided with adequate security.”
Vi gave Vesper the most forlorn of looks. “I have to be or I’d be forced to give up training. The matrons made that very clear.” His eyes suddenly widened. Oh no! He hadn’t meant to let that slip! He didn’t want anyone to pity him because he was an orphan, and that his parents had abandoned him when he was just a few weeks old. Vi hurriedly continued the conversation in an attempt to distract everyone. “Then you must be the best sweet-maker in the world!’’ The boy meant that; Vesper’s father’s was the best he had ever tasted. “I do. I also like reading about the players.” But he hadn’t found any as interesting and inspirational as Raju.
Viano was all smiles as he took two more chocolates. “I never get stomach aches no matter the amount of sweets I eat at once,’’ he stated, somewhat proudly. “Thank you again.” Grinning, Vi continued, “I also like eating fruits, so it must be why I picked that up.” Or maybe it had been a lucky guess.
Biting into another chocolate, his gaze returned to Raju. “Si, I can see how that would be annoying. I would hate it if they did that to me too.” Tabloids had no time and place! |
