"I suppose that's true..." muttered Vianna thoughtfully as Ferris pointed out that dragons weren't necessarily snuggling little pets. "I wouldn't mind having a pet dragon, though. They're cute!" she said. "When they're not breathing fire on you, anyway," she added as an afterthought before chuckling softly to herself and proceeding to lay down beside the boy, her eyes gazing up at the sparkling stars. |
Ferris's eyes returned to the girl as she agreed that dragons weren't necessarily cuddly, but she wouldn't mind having one. He let out a soft laugh as she added that they were cute....when they weren't breathing fire on you. His arm snuck around her as she laid down next to him. "You would like to have everything as a pet," he told her, amused by how much she loved each animal. "Well, except for a jellyfish," he added as he remembered how that was the only animal she didn't love. He kissed her forehead. |
Vianna couldn't help but laugh as Ferris pointed out that she wanted to have everything as a pet before adding that a jellyfish would be the only exception. "I suppose you're right," she said with amusement, returning her eyes from the sky above to the boy beside her as he placed a kiss on her forehead. She smiled at him, watching him for a moment before looking away and up to the sky again. "This kind of reminds me of the days back in England," she said thoughtfully after a moment's silence, the memory of it feeling much older than it really was. |
Ferris kept her warm to his side as the night got a bit colder, his eyes now returning to the night sky. He loved the stars, the myths and legends behind them, the quirky way they rarely looked like what they really portrayed. And behind all of this, remained a number of galaxies he couldn't even imagine. He was gazing up at all of this when Vianna next spoke, telling him this reminded her of their days back in England. He smiled faintly at this, his brown eyes still on the star-studded sky, "Yeah, me too Vi." He let out a small sigh, actually kind of missing the place they had left only a few days ago. |
Vianna sighed as well, looking up at the constellation she had just learned about for a few moments before yawning. "We should've brought the marshmallows," she muttered absentmindedly, suddenly craving the sweet snack. She could just imagine her brother eating them all as they sat in this part of town stargazing. |
Ferris let out a gasp, a genuine one too, as the girl mentioned marshmallows. He turned to her with a terror-stricken expression, sadness in his eyes like a little boy who realized he lost his favorite toy. "Oh no...." he murmured, letting out a sigh and a frown. "How could we have done that?!" he said, shaking his head with disappointment as though this was the worst mistake that could've been made. |
Vianna's eyes widened slightly as Ferris suddenly gasped and turned to her with pure horror in his features and sadness in his eyes. But she seemed slightly relieved and even amused as he explained what was disturbing him - that they had forgotten the marshmallows. "I know, we should be ashamed," she replied teasingly with a smile. "We'll just... have to wait 'til we're back at the hotel, I guess," she added with a sigh. |
"Wait?" he repeated, eyes a little wide. He let out a sigh, laying back as he looked up at the stars with a tentative expression. He suddenly turned back to her, "If you can make us go back for my medicine, I'm going back for the marshmallows," he grinned teasingly at her before standing. He started at a walk before turning back and leaning down, kneeling so he could place a kiss on her cheek, "I'll be back in two minutes, you can time me!" he joked, knowing this had become their catch phrase, before going for the broomstick at a run. |
Vianna turned to Ferris with widened eyes as the boy announced his plans to go get the marshmallows they had left behind. "But Prof--" but before she could really oppose to the idea, the boy was already up on his feet and promising her he would be back in two minutes. There was the slightest flicker of amusement in her eyes at his words, but for the most part her features were disapproving and carried a slight worry. She watched him run over to his broom and sighed. "Just promise me you'll be careful, Professor!" she told him, now sitting up on the grass. |
"Right, right, careful!" he casually assured her with a warm smile, turning back to give a wave before mounting his broom and zooming into the sky, the want of marshmallows driving his speed. He returned about ten minutes later, marshmallows in hand, but a new bruise formed on his lower arm. He landed swiftly, slowly getting off the broom and setting it against the tree. He then walked over to Vianna, giving her a weak smile and hoping that she wouldn't notice the large mark already starting to turn purple on his pale arm. |
Vianna gave Ferris a weak smile, waving as he waved back at her before mounting his broom and disappearing in the night sky. The young girl watched him go until he was completely out of sight before turning her attention to the constellations hovering up above. But this only distracted her a couple of minutes and it wasn't long until she started growing uneasy, especially since she didn't have a watch to check the time. She distracted herself picking on the grass or fidgeting with her wand, checking the skies every now and then. Until she caught sight of Ferris up in the sky and beamed as the boy landed, setting his broom aside before joining her. "Professor!" she exclaimed, as if this was an unexpected surprise and she hadn't seen him in years. |
"Hello, my dear," he said with a warm smile as she greeted him, glad to see her smiling face. It was funny how he had missed her, even just being gone for a few minutes. He took his seat next to her, handing her two of the four bags he had grabbed, opening one and pulling out a marshmallow. He examined it for a half a moment before popping it in his mouth and grinning, "Definitely worth it," he gave a nod, after he had swallowed of course. |
Vianna beamed at the sight of him as the boy proceeded to sit next to her, handing her two marshmallow bags. "Thank you," she said taking them into her hands and opening one of them. She pulled a marshmallow out and brought it to her mouth, absentmindedly looking up at the sky before returning her gaze to Ferris again as he spoke. The young girl gave a soft chuckle at his words before the amusement suddenly wiped completely from her features and her brows furrowed. "Professor..." she muttered, her eyes squinting slightly as she tried to see under the dim moonlight. "Professor! What happened to your arm?!" |
Ferris was watching the skies calmly, until the sound of Vianna's voice broke through the momentary silence, causing him to jump and turn to her, alarmed. But he quickly realized what she was concerned about, and his own eyes traveled down to the purple bruise covering a good bit of his forearm. "Oh...that," he said with a slight guilty smile. He didn't want to tell her the reason, as he would never live it down, and this would be yet another reason to mock the boy. But at the same time, he didn't want the girl to worry. "It's nothing," he quickly decided was the best choice of answer. |
"That's a pretty mean, painful-looking 'nothing'," replied Vianna, raising an eyebrow at the boy beside her. There was no way she was going to be satisfied with that response, and so she insisted, "What really happened, Professor?" Her forehead began to crease slightly, already assuming the worst. |
Ferris gave a weak, unconvincing smile as the girl pointed out that it was a pretty painful-looking 'nothing', still not giving in. And he looked down to his arm as she asked what really happened, obviously not buying his vague response. He looked up, ready to tell her another vague statement, when he caught sight of his favorite blue eyes worried, and she really looked concerned. And he couldn't not tell her now. "It's... I just..." he trailed off for a moment, his brown eyes searching hers for half a moment. "Iranintoatreeonthewaythere," he said in a fast string of words, not wanting to admit that he had ran into yet another tree, something he had been mocked for a number of times, and it was incredibly ironic that it kept happening. |
Vianna tilted her head slightly as Ferris hesitantly started his confession before trailing off for a moment. She waited patiently, remaining silent for that moment before he began speaking again, this time in such a speed that Vianna didn't catch a word at first. She blinked, her eyes wide as the words slowly processed through and her brain separated them to create one sentence rather than one really long word. "A tree!?" she repeated. "Are you okay, did you get hit anywhere else? Does it hurt too bad?" she asked, her eyes returning to the purple bruise on his pale arm. |
Ferris's eyes widened just slightly as she repeated the tree part of his confession, expecting to soon hear a string of laughter. But instead, the girl asked if he was alright, if he had been hurt anywhere else, if hurt too much. He suddenly felt rather terrible for thinking Vianna would laugh at him...Well, right now at least. "Wha-? Oh, no, no, it's not too bad," he told her, more focused on the girl before him than the bruise on his forearm. "I didn't really hit the tree with my body, more of, I flew past one and one of the branches bashed my arm." |
"Oooh..." Vianna nodded her head slightly as Ferris explained that the bruise didn't hurt and he had just been attacked by a tree branch. She remained expressionless for a moment, she might have even looked bored for a few seconds there as she stared blankly at the boy's bruise. But her blue eyes eventually lifted their gaze to his brown eyes and a smile lit up her features; half a second later, she was in a fit of laughter. "I can't believe you ran into another tree, Professor!" she said between laughs. "Did this one come out of nowhere and chase you down too?" she teased, as was typical of her. |
Ferris watched her hesitantly, as though she might explode any moment, as she examined his eyes with little expression. It made him kind of nervous, that he didn't know what she was thinking about. But when she finally met his eyes, and she started laughing, he knew that his Vianna was back. He scowled playfully as she teased him, asking if the tree had come out of nowhere and chased him down like the last. "Maybe it did!" he countered playfully, dropping his marshmallows and taking the girl into his arms. He laid down so she was half on top of him, holding her snugly with a grin and clear amusement behind his eyes. |
Vianna fell into a fit of giggles as Ferris countered playfully before bringing her down to the ground with him. "I think you should consider getting a restraining order against trees, Professor," she suggested teasingly, still giggling lightly as she spoke. "I'm sure you're not the only innocent victim these troublesome trees attack." |
Ferris glared at the girl playfully as she suggested that he get a restraining order against these troublesome trees, adding that he probably wasn't the only victim of their menacing ways. "Oh yeah?" he said playfully, eyebrows raising, "Maybe I will! And maybe you should shut up Vi, or I'll have to force you to," he said with a challenging grin, amusement still in his eyes as he lost all embarassment, just amused by her. |
Vianna's eyebrows rose and she gave a gasp of mock surprise. "I can't believe my boyfriend is telling me to shut up!" she said, the amusement lighting up her face as she watched the boy beside her with playfully shocked eyes. "Well, what if I don't want to shut up? What if I plan to continue teasing you about this for the rest of the night -- no, for the rest of the week! What're you going to do about it, Professor?" she challenged in return before giggling to herself, far too amused at the moment to keep a straight face. |
Ferris gave a nod of approval as the girl expressed her disbelief that her own boyfriend was telling her to shut up, "Yeah, that's right." He couldn't help but to let out a chuckle though, as she challenged him, asking what would happen if she didn't shut up and she kept teasing him for the rest of the week. "Well, Vi, I'm going to have to make you pay!" he said, rolling over so now he was half on top of her. He then began to tickle her sides gently, making sure he placed a number of kisses on her neck and cheeks. |
Vianna gave Ferris a jokingly surprised grin as the boy replied to her challenge, but before she could say anything, they had suddenly switched places and she found herself on the bottom this time. Unwillingly, Vianna fell into another fit of giggles as Ferris began tickling her, awarding her with kisses that made her squirm and served more as punishment than actual rewards. "Okay, okay, I'll stop!" she said after a moment, when the tickling had become too much to bear and her sides ached from laughing. "I won't make fun of you, I promise!" she added almost desperately, her cheeks turning bright red as she continued to giggle. |
