Vianna returned Ferris's smile and took the boy's hand into her much smaller one. "We'll come up with something and everything will be alright," she said softly. Though with time, she had learned to become more realistic, and she didn't see things right now the way she saw them a week ago. "We.. I just..." It was beyond difficult to say this aloud, and she hoped Ferris didn't think her cruel for it, but she continued, "If-- If anything happens... I just want to know we didn't sit back and let it happen," she muttered, her gaze leaving his to look down at their hands absentmindedly.

Vianna looked back up at him as Ferris asked her why she looked so guilty when she said something like that. The girl blinked, not having expected this response at all. And now that she heard it, she wasn't sure what the answer was. "Well--well I just... I just... because, Professor... I'm, in a way, sort of... considering the possibility... that... perhaps..." The girl trailed off for a brief moment, this was certainly not the type of thing she had ever expected to explain. That she thought there was a chance something terrible could happen to Ned, death even? It was something she would have never considered a week ago, but now... now things were different and she couldn't help feeling rather guilty for thinking that something terrible could happen to a friend. "I just-- I think something could happen to Ned," she finally let out with a sigh. "And... I guess it just kind of makes me feel bad that I could even consider something bad happening to him, but..." Her forehead creased slightly. How was she supposed to continue thinking only good things would happen when with each passing day, things only got worse?

Vianna sighed softly. Had it been any other day, the boy's gestures would have lit up her face and brought a large smile to her face. But not today, not at this moment. Their situation was too dark, too gloomy. The girl nodded her head slightly as Ferris spoke, and though he was just stating their rather sad but true situation, she actually felt somewhat comforted by it. It made her realize she wasn't the only one with these thoughts and troubles in her mind.

Vianna's eyes were staring absentmindedly at the floor before she ripped her gaze away and turned it to the boy beside her as he spoke. She listened quietly as he promised her that they would rescue Ned, and his parents, and everything would go back to normal. She couldn't help but smile faintly as he mentioned Fluffy, rather amused by the importance he had been given as part of the group. The girl's smile widened as his lips met her cheek once again and he told her not to forget that she was his gem. The words brought a warmth to her once-cold body and a sparkle to her eyes. She watched Ferris for a brief moment, still smiling, before leaning over and placing a kiss on his lips.

Vianna let the kiss last a couple of moments before pulling back slowly, the smile returning to her lips. But she remained silent, simply examining Ferris's face for a moment, admiring how lucky she was to have him as a boyfriend, even if he had the bad habit of thinking it was the other way around. "I love you," she finally said after a few moments of silence, the smile on her lips brighter than ever. She, herself, felt quite amazed that with only a few words and a couple of minutes, the boy beside her was able to turn her gloom into pure joy and gratefulness.

ooc: Byeeeee, Rutherssss!!! :bye::glomp:

Vianna smiled as Ferris responded before awarding her with another kiss, this time on the right cheek. The girl beamed sheepishly and chuckled softly as she received another one, this time on her left cheek. She turned to Ferris with slightly raised eyebrows as the boy told her not to dare feel guilty again, and she laughed lightly as he told her he'd punish her with more kisses. "Professor, you're encouraging me to feel guilty!" she told him with a laugh.

Vianna giggled as Ferris changed his mind on what the consequences would be, telling her that there would be no more kisses if she continued feeling guilty. But she then laughed as he continued, now turning indecisive on whether that was really a good consequence or not, since he'd be kissing her either way. "You're funny, Professor," said the girl, amusement sparkling in her blue eyes. "How about we bet on marshmallows?" she suggested, her eyebrows raising slightly. "Every time I feel guilty, I'll owe you two marshmallows. Now, that would be horrible, you know how I feel about my marshmallows!" she said the last bit with a bit of sarcasm, as it was true she did love marshmallows but her love for the snacks didn't compare to Ferris's.

Vianna's eyes widened slightly and there was an amused grin on her face as Ferris warned her not to feel guilty or he'd eat all of her marshmallows, leaving her with a 'fat Ferris' in her hands. "Oh really?" she said before laughing at the idea of Ferris overweight. It was difficult to imagine it. The girl then shook her head slightly. "I can't picture you being fat, though I must admit it'd be pretty funny," she said, still laughing lightly to herself.

Ferris's words and mock offense only seemed to make Vianna laugh even more, and it took the girl a moment to calm and catch her breath again. "Well... yes, it would!" she replied to him, the amused grin still on her face and her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief; she had always enjoyed teasing her boyfriend. "And besides, I think it would make you a more comfortable pillow to lay on, too," she added with a nod of her head.

Vianna watched shock take over Ferris's features with pure amusement in her eyes and mischief in her smile. She just simply couldn't get enough of teasing the boy, it never ceased to amuse her and she liked it that he didn't take her jokes seriously. But before she could enjoy the effect of her teasing on him too much, the boy had shoved her back onto the bed and had proceeded to attack her with tickles. Vianna giggled, but she fought back this time, trying to push the boy's hands away though the incessant giggling made her feel rather weak. But she had already laughed too much even before the tickling, and she felt that if she laughed more she might just go numb. "Professoorrrr!" she whined between giggles. "You're a perfect pillow, I promise, but I can't breathe!"

Vianna was still giggling slightly after Ferris's hands left her sides and it took her a moment to fully calm and catch her breath. Her throat felt somewhat sore, though, and her cheeks had grown numb from all the smiling. But even so, she just couldn't stop smiling. Not only was it normal for Vianna to be smiling most of the time, but she was in the company of her favourite person in the world, it was impossible not to beam up at that face she had grown to love so much in only a week. She listened as the boy asked her if she really thought he was the perfect pillow or if she had just been saying it to escape the tickling. Vianna considered her options for a brief second before replying, "Oh, I meant it, I was being completely honest," she said with a nod, though the bit of enthusiasm in her voice made it clear the girl was lying.

Vianna's eyes widened slightly as Ferris's fingers met her sides, and the girl's own arms immediately reacted on instinct, wrapping around her torso. But she eased as his arms wrapped around her waist and he fell onto the dusty bed, pulling her to his side. Vianna turned to the boy that was now beside her and listened as he spoke before chuckling softly but very briefly, as it had become something rather tiring and painful to do. "Well, that does make me happy," she contradicted him. "I like my professor skinny," she told him before leaning over and placing a kiss on his cheek.

Vianna chuckled softly for another very short brief second before her brows furrowed and her expression turned disapproving. "Professor, don't make me laugh!" she told him, as if this was a horrible crime he was doing to her. "I don't think I can laugh for at least another two hours," she muttered absentmindedly, turning so that she was now laying on her back and staring up at the ceiling. Her brows furrowed even further at the sight - even the ceiling was cracked and looked like it might collapse on them any minute.
