One of Ferris's hands went to hold her jaw gently, still being careful and gentle as he always was with Vianna. But there was something....different about this kiss something he couldn't explain but was driving him to continue the kiss. He had never met anyone in his life who could make him feel like this, someone that could make him smile and laugh and feel like being a tall awkward bookworm maybe wasn't so bad if she liked it. And he continued to kiss her, not wanting the moment to end, because at this moment she had made him feel like nothing could make him feel inferior, like Vince just had. |
Vianna felt herself sink back slightly as Ferris continued the kiss she had expected to end at least a few seconds ago. She didn't want it to, but that was usually the way their kisses went - short and sweet. The girl kissed him back for another moment before pulling away and inhaling deeply. That had left her more breathless than she had expected. Vianna's eyes fluttered open and she looked at the boy in front of her with wide eyes, as if seeing something impressive for the first time. She was at a loss of words for a moment before giggling and leaning forward, giving Ferris another, but more playful, kiss. |
Ferris took a deep breath as they broke apart, finding himself in great need of the oxygen he had forgotten about moments before. He grinned dazedly at the girl in front of him, watching her wide eyes with his own set of amazed ones, grinning ear to ear. He let out a soft chuckle as she giggled, unable to help it now, and was happily surprised to find her lips on his in a more playful kiss. He kissed back for a moment before breaking apart, his smile returning to his face as he leaned his forehead against hers, still at a loss for words. He still didn't seem to realize that at some point during their kiss, he had pulled the girl a little bit on top of himself, and they now sat comfortably very close together on the couch. |
A smile lit up Vianna's face as Ferris broke apart from their kiss and rested his forehead on hers. She watched him for a moment, her eyes sparkling with an almost childlike enthusiasm, like a kid who just got off a very thrilling ride at an amusement park. She eventually let her eyes leave his to gaze at the fire instead, now letting her head rest on his shoulder as it had before. She remained silent, not really having much to say or feeling the need to really voice any thoughts as her mind was blank and she was momentarily lost in bliss. She began fidgeting with his argyle vest as she had done earlier that afternoon and smiled faintly to herself, easily distracted. |
Ferris smiled warmly down at her, all thoughts in his mind concentrated on the girl placed so snugly in his arms. He felt no need to talk, he just watched the fire, one of his hands stroking her long hair gently and the other resting on top of one of her knees, which was next to him as she was still curled up. His smile widened slightly as he felt her fidgeting with his argyle vest, gently placing a warm kiss on her forehead before leaning back into the cushions of the couch, nothing on his mind besides the girl and absolute happiness. |
And to interrupt the very lovely scene, the main door to the hotel room opened and in walked the oldest Vincenzi sibling. Completely caught off-guard and surprised by the unexpected entrance - did she forget to lock the door? - Vianna jumped in her seat, eyes widening at the newcomer. "Did I interrupt something?" asked Victor, reading the shock and surprise in his sister's face. But he didn't wait for a response. "Just wanted to make sure everyone was in the hotel, remember we have to wake up early tomorrow morning," he explained. |
At the sound of the door opening and the girl jumping from his arms, Ferris jumped in surprise, turning his head to see Victor in the doorway. "N-No, you didn't interrupt," he assured him weakly, thanking the heavens that Vianna's brother hadn't strode into the room two minutes ago as he would have found his beloved sister in a lip lock with one of his most disliked people. "Right, tomorrow morning," he said with a small nod, vaguely aware of what Victor was saying. "We'll be up. Bright and early. I-I mean, I'll be up." He never really realized how much he grouped himself and Vianna together. |
Victor watched Ferris stutter his response out and gave the boy a studious look for a moment before turning, ready to head out of the room. But it was Vianna who spoke then, "Wait!" She scrambled up to her feet and paused for a hesitant moment. She really didn't want to get into this now, after just having fixed everything with Ferris, but she probably wouldn't see her brother again until the following morning. "I-- uh-- I don't think we should run tomorrow. To another town, I mean." Victor turned back around at the sound of his sister's voice and furrowed his brows at the words coming out of her mouth. Immediately, his accusatory gaze turned to Ferris for a brief moment before returning to Vianna. "What're you two plotting this time?" |
Ferris's eyes widened slightly as Vianna quickly rose from her seat, asking her brother to wait. Confused only momentarily, until it hit him what she wanted to discuss with her brother. He listened as she told him that she didn't think they should go to another town just yet, rather surprised at this, though he assumed it had something to do with the ministry in France. But as Victor's harsh eyes flashed to Ferris for a moment, he found himself frozen, "Uh...I-I...Vianna just wants..." but he stopped himself, one hundred percent sure that Vianna could explain better than he could. OOC: I'm off Deee! Byyyeeeee! :byeL |
Vianna shook her head slightly. "It's not Ferris, it's me," she said. Victor's eyebrows rose slightly at this, and he closed the door behind him, ready to listen to whatever his sister had to share. And so the youngest Vincenzi did just that, explaining to her oldest brother how she already knew about what had happened with Ned (though she didn't mention she had learned this from Ferris), and how she thought the best thing to do was get help from the ministry, how they couldn't fight the kidnappers alone. Victor crossed his arms absentmindedly as he listened to Vianna's words, his eyes widening as she spoke about Ned and his brows furrowing as she suggested they went to the ministry. The boy remained silent for a moment, taking all of this in while Vianna patiently waited for the rejection that was to come. But to her surprise, Victor didn't reject the idea right away like she had expected him to. "There's only two things wrong with your plan, Vi," he started. "The kidnappers have a connection with the British ministry, so we can't go to them for help. And the second problem is... you're asking the wrong person." Vianna frowned slightly at this, puzzled. "I think you should discuss this with the rest of the group as well, but most importantly" - he tilted his head slightly, gesturing in Ferris's direction - "that one. It's his neck that's on the line." ooc: Byeeee, Rutherssss! :bye: |
Ferris watched as Vianna explained her plan to her oldest brother, listening as she explained that she knew what happened with Ned and she thought it was best to go to the ministry for help. He was fully prepared to hear a rejection from Victor, followed shortly by a murder of Ferris because somehow he would know that he was the one who informed Vianna of all of this. But to his surprise, Victor didn't reject the idea, rather told Vianna the British ministry was out of the question and that she was asking the wrong person. Ferris was confused until Victor explained that she needed to speak with the whole group, especially him, and his eyes widened slightly, not expecting this response. |
Vianna stared at her brother blankly for a moment, not really sure how to respond. "Uh... well..." She turned to Ferris momentarily before returning her gaze to her brother once again. "If everyone agrees a ministry's the best way to go, then we'll go. But if you guys remain indecisive, we'll just continue with the original plan," said Victor simply before heading back out of the room and to the boys' room. Vianna watched him go and returned to her seat on the couch beside Ferris with a sigh. She watched the flames absentmindedly for a moment before looking at the boy beside her. "What do you think?" she asked him quietly. ooc: Gotta go! Be back in a couple of hours. :lol: |
OOC: Ok! :lol: Ferris watched as Victor warned them to get everyone to agree to go to a ministry, otherwise they would continue with their regular plan. He stared at a spot on the floor momentarily, obviously thinking about things, when Vianna sat down next to him and asked what he thought. His brown eyes turned to her, obvious hesitance in them as he considered his options. "Well, I-I don't know Vi," he murmured, letting out slow breath. "I didn't know that the British ministry was with the kidnappers before, when I said that it was a great idea..." |
Vianna nodded her head understandingly when Ferris told her he wasn't so sure about the ministry anymore now that they knew the kidnappers were somehow involved in it. It seemed like their situation only went from bad to worse, and Vianna felt herself feeling a rather unusual feeling for her - hopelessness. They couldn't help themselves, their parents couldn't help them, and now not even the ministry could help them? What were they supposed to do, dig a hole and hide in it until the kidnappers found them and cut their lives short? Vianna sighed to herself at this thought, absentmindedly watching the fire. "We should go to bed," she said suddenly, quietly. |
Ferris didn't like the expression that came to Vianna's face after his statements. She obviously seemed...saddened, but what else was there? Studying her features, he couldn't quite figure out what exactly was eating at her, but was sure it wasn't good. He felt bad for his response, knowing it hadn't comforted her very much, but he was brought out of his trance as she noted that they should go to bed. He gave a small nod but didn't appear to move. Instead, one of his hands found its way around hers and intwined their fingers. "Let's....Let's not make any decisions until we've had the chance to sleep on it, okay Vi?" he suggested softly. |
Vianna turned to Ferris as his hand met hers and she nodded as he suggested they slept before making any decisions. "Yeah. You're right," she said, giving the boy a faint smile. She watched him for a moment before leaning over and placing a kiss on his cheek. "Good night, Professor. I'll see you tomorrow morning," she said, extinguishing the fire with a wave of her wand and getting up to her feet. |
Ferris's brows were slightly furrowed even after feeling the soft kiss on his cheek, obviously uneasy about things. He didn't like how sad Vianna seemed, and he watched with slightly depressed eyes as she got up and said goodnight. "Yeah, alright Vi," he replied, unsure of how to help her now. He finally stood, giving her a final weak smile before heading out of the room, across the hallway, and into the boys' room. His eyebrows seemed to be thoroughly furrowed, but all he really wanted right now was sleep. And so, without a word to anyone in the room, he walked to his own room to attempt another night of sleep. Unfortunately...It wasn't working out so well. |
Vianna headed over to the kitchen after Ferris left and pulled out a bowl from the cabinets. She poured some marshmallows inside and smiled warmly as her furry little pet immediately understood this to be his dinner, hurrying over to her and climbing up to the counter with ease. "Good night, Fluffy," she told the squirrel as if it could understand before heading over to her room and curling up beneath the warm covers of the bed. It took her a while, but she was eventually able to fall asleep, unaware of the squirrel that came to join her some time later that night. |
Once more, Ferris fell asleep for about three hours until he woke up at eleven in another cold sweat. It was the same dream, but possibly even more horrifying to him. Brown eyes wide and saddened, he tried to roll over in his bed, attempting to find a comfortable sleeping position. He rolled at least five times over the next half hour, trying everything, but the images of everyone being killed were planted deeply into his mind. Letting out a small sigh, his cold hands shaking once more, he stood from his bed, quietly making his way out of his room. He crept through the main boys' room before going out into the hallway and staring at the girls' door for a moment. He knew exactly who he wanted to see right now, the one person who could make his shaking hands stop shaking and his mind go back to ease but....He couldn't keep waking her up like this. She needed her sleep too, and the last thing she needed was her boyfriend coming to her in the middle of the night. Ferris thought about it for a long five minutes before deciding that it was Vianna he was talking about here, and she would always help him. With furrowed brows and his hands still shaking, he quietly made his way into the girls' room and then over to Vianna's own bedroom. He opened it quietly, stepping in before closing the door softly behind him. |
Vianna had been lucky to be spending another dreamless night, her body at ease as it rested after a day that hadn't really been very tiring anyway. She was completely oblivious to the figure stepping into her room now, but Fluffy was a much lighter sleeper and jumped at the sound of the door opening and then closing. Fluffy looked up at the newcomer, but instead of freaking out like last time, recognized him right away. The squirrel watched him for a moment and returned to Vianna's pillow, curling up beside her once more. |
Ferris was glad to see that the squirrel didn't try to wake up the girl like he had the night before, obviously recognizing Ferris as he came into the room. Ferris hesitantly walked to the side of the bed, not sure what he wanted to do. One side was telling him not to wake her up, she needed her sleep; the other side was telling him that he needed her presence badly right now., Ferris finally took a seat at the end of her bed, deciding to wake her up, just not sure how yet. He folded his shaking hands over his lap, watching the sleeping beauty for a moment before speaking, "Vianna?" he muttered softly, feeling like a jerk for waking her. |
Vianna's brows furrowed at the sound of her name and muttered something unintelligible before letting her mind return to its subconscious state. Fluffy's head lifted at the sound of his owner's name and he watched Ferris curiously once more before indignantly getting up and hiding under the covers, bothered by the noise. ooc: I gotta go! Be back in like an hour. :) |
Ferris watched as Vianna muttered something before going back to sleep, and his brows furrowed even more. Not sure what to do, he finally took one of her warm hands in his shaking cold one, watching her with worried eyes. Maybe he shouldn't wake her up afterall....But, he had gotten this far already...."Vianna," he said a little more clearly and loudly, rubbing the back of her hand and forearm with his free cold hand gently. "Vi...It's me," he continued in a softer tone. "I'm sorry, I don't mean to keep you from y-your sleep, I just...I need you right now," he muttered weakly. He let out a sigh, feeling like a jerk as he gave up, releasing her hand gently and beginning to stand from the bed. OOC: Ok! Bye! ^_^ |
ooc: Never mind. :lol: At the feel of Ferris's cold touch, goosebumps came to the girl's skin, though she wasn't consciously aware of it. But then came that familiar voice again, calling her name more loudly and clearly. Still half-asleep, Vianna's eyes squinted open, momentarily blind in the heavy darkness of the room. She searched blindly for a moment before spotting the figure sitting on one end of the bed. Vianna's eyes widened as she became more alert, but like Fluffy, she was able to recognize the figure right away. "Professor?" she said as the boy began to stand. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and trying to see more clearly under the dim moonlight. ooc: Okay no, I really do have to go now. :lol: Be back in an hour! :lol: |
OOC: :rotfl: Ok, sounds good! Ferris turned to look at the girl as he heard his favorite nickname called out into the room. He walked back to the bed, taking a seat a little closer to her, his brown eyes sad as he gave her a weak smile, "Hey Vi," he murmured softly, feeling guilty but completely relieved at the same time. He watched her for a moment before seeming to remember that he had just woken her up in the middle of the night. "I-I'm sorry, I know, I shouldn't be in here. I'll leave soon, I promise. I just...." he trailed off, unsure how to explain himself to her. |
