Default Broom Closet



A musty old closet under near the grand staircase contains brooms, mops, and various other cleaning supplies, including that amazing soap and softener from last term's laundry days. So maybe somebody should make use of them!

OOC NOTE: All SS Board Rules and School Rules apply in this closet. Violators may be punished both IC and OOC for any inappropriate behavior taking place in this thread.

Kyroh had found the PERFECT spot for the super secret group, super secret meeting, and he had just told his allies this morning. It was big enough to fit all of them, and private enough that it would be SECRET and stuff. And not to private that it would look weird if they went in right?

Walking along the corridor, Kyroh looked over his shoulder and then around the hall. It was basically empty which was AWESOME.

Since it was going to be their first OFFICIAL meeting, Kyroh had even dressed up! Which made it even better that they had decided not to have the meeting outside because shorts and snow didn't work well together. Opening the broom closet Kyroh looked around once more before sneaking inside.

"Lumos." And now it WOULDN'T be dark for the SUPER SECRET MEETING!

What was a super secret meeting without super secret SNACKS? Dima didn't know, so he had picked up some food (i.e. doughnuts) from the kitchens. They were chocolate with sprinkles on them, the exact kind he and Kyroh had 'conjured' on their very first night at Hogwarts. See? He already knew his roommate liked them! And if their other third didn't, they couldn't be friends.

Just kidding. But she HAD to like doughnuts. They tasted like heaven. Pure, hole-y happiness.

The eleven year old slipped into the broom closet a couple minutes after the first arrival, a little late due to his stop with the house elves. He had worn a bow tie like Kyroh had, 'cause he'd seen him leaving the dorm and thought it would be COOL. And he'd also brought one for Maddie in case she didn't have one, so they could all match!

Dima, clearly, was prepared.

"I brought doughnuts!"

Finding the broom closet was HARD. Mostly because Maddie didn't have a MAP like DIMA and hadn't been here BEFORE like KYROH. And seeing as she'd wanted to come alone so as not to draw attention to herself, she was taking a BIT longer than she wanted to get to the very first super secret meeting of a club that hadn't been named yet. MHM!

Eventually the first year caved and begrudgingly asked an older student WHERE the stupid closet WAS but was careful to leave out WHY she was asking. Just being a curious first year, DUH. And after she DID ask, she found the thing in NO TIME. The others could just IGRNORE that Maddie was late, yes? COOL.

Slipping inside, the twelve year old carefully closed the door behind her and then GRINNED at the boys. "...Are bowties mandatory?" She didn't KNOW but she could have her mum send her one maybe. Surely her brothers had some to spare. Also hiiiii and stuff. HI.

Let the first meeting of the club to be named later commence!

The GOOD thing about broom closets was that they had buckets and stuff. And buckets could be used for SO many things. After sticking his wand in a contentment crack in the wall, Kyroh had just found a THIRD bucket and turned it over along with the other two for SEATS when the door opened.

There was a second where Kyroh had felt it was someone ELSE who was not part of the group at all but nope- it was Dima! With a bowtie even! Kyroh grinned right back and gave him a HUG. Just cause he hadn't today. So why not?

DOUGHNUTS!

The door opened again before he could express his excitement and Maddie walked in. So of COURSE she was greeted with a hug as well.

"Maybe! Maybe they should be! I like bowties. And doughnuts too! Dima brought us some." OFFICIAL secret meeting food and all.

Affectionate in nature, Dima hugged Kyroh back. He even squished in with him and Maddie when the the other boy moved on to give the third member of their secret meeting a squeeze in greeting as well. 'Cause that was the best, BEST way to say hi. Always.

"I brought you one!" 'Cause bow ties didn't seem like the sort of accessory Maddie would own for some reason. The first year tugged the one he'd chosen out of his pocket, handing it over to his friend. "They're chocolate doughnuts. Withsprinklesous."

Settling down on one of the buckets, he placed the snacks in between them and waited for the meeting to commence.

What... exactly..... did secret people in secret clubs secretly do again?

WHY the hugging? Maddie's brown eyes widened and she stiffened on the spot while not ONE but TWO boys wrapped their arms around her. It wasn't that she thought they had COOTIES or anything because THAT was silly but she just DIDN'T do HUGS. NOPE. "Is this going to be a regular thing with you two?" The hugging thing, that is. She kept her hands at her sides and waited for it to be over, looking relieved when it was.

"Looks like Dima thought of almost everything!" Maddie smiled a little and accepted the bowtie from him, in a much better mood now that hugging was over. Taking a seat, the twelve year old got comfy before putting the thing on. Bowties DID add a certain something to the meeting and the brunette liked the one Dima had picked out VERY much. She turned to him and modeled it proudly before reaching for a donut. "AND I guess we ALL love chocolate." Just another thing they had in common. Perhaps they could factor CHOCOLATE into their name!

"So I brought a notebook." The first year patted her backpack with her donut-free hand and smiled. "I figured I could take the minutes. I don't know EXACTLY what that means but I figure it has to do with taking notes and I brought a WATCH just in case I'm meant to write the time down TOO." See? She came prepared!

"What do we do FIRST, Freckles?" Beside eating.

Dima was in on the hug toooo. Three people hug! Secret group hug? Though Maddie didn't seem to be THAT good at hugs. Dropping his arms the boy BEAMED. "YUP!" Kyroh answered excitedly. Because hugs were the BEST. "Unless you don't like them...." His excitement wavered just a bit as he looked toward Dima. They shouldn't hug her if she didn't like hugs right?

Kyroh watched as Dima pulled out a bowtie for Maddie. He DID think of everything, bowties and doughnuts. Withsprinklesous! Dima was all prepared! "It's cause he's awesome!" RIGHT Dima? You were awesome RIGHT? Awesome dormmate Dima! Taking his own seat on the bucket Kyroh looked between his two friends.

Boddie seemed to think of everything too. Note taking and all that, with minutes? "I've never heard of that before but it sounds official." Watch and EVERYTHING! GOOD JOB.

What did they do FIRST? Uh.....Kyroh brought his hands out to his side and shrugged before reaching for a doughnut. "I have no clue!" The boy said happily. He had never been in a secret meeting for a secret group before. Hmmmmmmmm. "We should probably talk about Dima not dying and stuff. And roles! We should have roles in our group. Oh! Rules too! AND group name!" ...Yeah. He was practically just saying whatever came to mind because Kyroh had no clue, so to stop himself from saying anything else he took a bite of the chocolately goodness.

"Do you not?" Like hugs, that was? Dima made sad eyes at the non-hugger of their group.

Hugging was a NECESSITY. It was.

Yeah, he was super awesome! He gave a little bow in Kyroh's direction and offered a thumbs up to Maddie in approval of her bow tie modeling before reaching for a doughnut as well. "I dunno what it means either." But the others were right, it DID sound grown up. One more vote yes!

Hmmmmmmmmm. Roles? "What kind of roles?" Pause. "We need a secret handshake too! And code names! And this can be our official meeting spot, bow ties mandatory for entry." Yup. Broom closet turned headquarters of the club to be named later! Dima liked, he did.

Also. "Not dying? Huh?" Was that the first rule? He wasn't allowed to DIE? If he died, did he get kicked out of the club?

This was so stressful.

Oh gosh, were they UPSET about her disinterest in hugging? Maddie's eyes widened slightly at the thought of having to comfort them because she DIDN'T like hugs but they'd probably REQUIRE hugs TO comfort them and it was all just a big circle of hugging and SHE. WAS. TRAPPED. Until she thought of a way AROUND this, she simply shrugged. "I can deal, I GUESS." Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. See what a good friend ally she was? She even SMILED reassuringly at them. Gosh, being an ally was HARD sometimes.

Maddie felt a BIT better about not knowing what taking minutes was when the boys admitted they didn't know EITHER. She stuffed the rest of her chocolate doughnut in her mouth before pulling out the notebook and quill and setting it on her lap. SEE? Official INDEED.

OH, Dima not DYING! The brunette nodded solemnly and then scribbled down all the suggestions that Dima and Kyroh said. ALL GOOD suggestions, by the way! "I don't think ANY of us should be allowed to die ANYTIME soon. That's the FIRST rule." She even wrote it down and underlined it and everything! "S'cause we have TOO much to accomplish, y'know? If we die now it'll be SUCH a waste so NO DYING." She glanced up from her notes and waggled a finger at each boy then cracked a smile.

"As for ROLES, I can be the OFFICIAL note taker or minute taker or whatever we want to call it! S'a tough job but someone's got to do it!" MHM! "What would you boys like to be?" HMMM? She had her quill READY to write down their official titles when they decided!

She could deal? See? That meant MORE hugs! Kyroh even gave a thumbs up to Dima because he was sure his sad eyes had something to do with it.

To be honest he really didn't know what kind of roles. It just seemed cool you know? Everyone in the group having their own title on things. Being an OFFICIAL something in a top secret group. As Dima listed off other things they needed like CODE names and handshakes and more bow ties Kyroh had to really force himself to NOT jump up in excitement.

INSTEAD he took another bite of the donut because IT WAS SO GOOD AND CODE NAMES WOULD BE SO COOL!!!!

But as for dying. "Yeah!" Kyroh agreed nodding, mouth full of donut. "NO DYING DIMA!" And you know Boddie too. Technically him too even. They had SO much to do! Like make the world super cool and awesome. And maybe even try out for quidditch next year or something. But that was thinking waaay to far in advanced. "First rule: no dying!" Kyroh looked around for something to HIT on something else to make it OFFICIAL, like what grown ups did with the little hammers. Grabbing a broom handle he banged it against the wall.

THERE. IT WAS OFFICIAL.

Since Maddie was the one who thought of the minute taking it only made sense that that was her official role. And Kyroh saluted her to show his approval."Can I be the official lookout?" He could be the BEST look out ever! Like an auror on a mission or something. "And our codenames should maybe match our roles!" Or not? Hm.

She could deal. The sad eyes Dima was making morphed into delighted ones accompanied by a big beam, and he gave Kyroh a thumbs up BACK.

Hugs were necessary too, he decided, but he didn't tell Maddie to write those down 'cause she probably wouldn't.

Jumping a bit at the sound of the broom bang and glancing around suspiciously to make sure they hadn't been DISCOVERED, he tried not to look too distressed. "What if I break the dying rule? Does that mean I get kicked out of the club?" He didn't want to be kicked out. That would be bad.

As for the OFFICIAL jobs... "I dunno what I can be." Pause. "Official toastmaster? I think those people introduce stuff. Or bring toast. I can do that TOO." So it was like an official snack-bearing job as well, right? Perfect!

And he'd already started with the doughnuts, even. It was like he was a seer.

All the thumbs up nonsense that was happening made Maddie ROLL her eyes. BOYS. They were infuriating sometimes, did they KNOW? PROBABLY not but she could TELL them, maybe. As long as it wouldn't make them cry because EW, feelings.

"If you die, you're dead." PAUSE. "And having a dead Dima at meetings might not work out cause you'd probably start to SMELL eventually and then we'd have to bring you to Bentley so they could use your body as fertilizer for the plants." Which would be REALLY generous of them, actually. Making allies in the herbology department couldn't hurt--NO, no dying. "So I think UNLESS you die and become a ghost because you absolutely CANNOT HELP the dying, you have to leave the club."

"I think both those jobs sound good, especially the bit about Dima bringing toast!" Food, y'know? It made discussing super secret stuff that much easier. "And I dunno about the codenames? I mean, would that make me Scribbles or Quill or something?" What COOL name had to do with note taking?

But Dima there were no whatifs just no dying okay? Okay? His bottom lip shook just a bit.

Before he could voice his answer Maddie spoke up and Kyroh found himself nodding along. "And a dead Dima wouldn't do much talking. Plus I don't think Bentley would use you as fertilizer. That's what dung is for. I think think she'd use you to feed the flesh-eating plants."

Nom. Nom. Dima for lunch.

The thought made Kyroh sad though. No more talks about his friend being dead and leaving the club please?

What did introducing stuff have to do with toast? Kyroh blinked a few times. "Do they make the toast while they are introducing stuff?" Now he was curious. "I'd think you'd be good at that!" Introducing stuff AND toast, okay? So it sounded good! They had their official jobs. Official meeting place. Official bow ties. "You can be known as She-Who-Must-Always-Write." Kyroh GRINNED. See! That could work too! "Or we don't need codenames." He didn't really know. Dima wanted them! So he kinda did too.

His lip wasn't shaking like Kyroh's was, but Dima's eyes were as wide as saucers. "I don't want to be fertilizer." Pause. "Or flesh-eating plant food." But more than any of those things, he didn't want to be kicked out of the the club to be named later. So... no dying. NO DYING. Okay? Okay.

Toussaints were not LUNCH. Psh.

Make toast? Er... "I dunno how to make toast, but I can GET it! I can't do that at the same time as introducing stuff, though, 'cause I have to introduce stuff during MEETINGS and those are here and toast is not here unless I bring it here." This was CONFUSING. Why was making a club so hard?

She-Who-Must-Always-Write sounded REAL long. "I like Scribbles too! Or you could be Scribbulus. Like the shop!" And who wouldn't want to be named after a SHOP? "I can be Toast." Or Master. But only house elves called people that, right? He didn't think Maddie and Kyroh were house elves.

If they were, maybe THEY needed to be in charge of toast.

Flesh-eating plants were AWESOME and thoughts of them totally took Maddie's mind off of Dima's fictional death. She was sort of wondering what the likely-hood of her having her OWN flesh-eating plant was but she DIDN'T say so to the boys, lest she let on that she wasn't taking this death thing SERIOUSLY. She'd actually be quite gutted if anything happened to Dima, him being her FIRST ever FRIEND and all. Yes, friend. The MORE she used the word in her MIND, the easier it'd be for her to say it out LOUD. MAYBE.

But yes, no more death talk. That matter was settled now that everyone understood the gravity of dying and its consequences where their club was concerned. UH-HUH. Consider the matter laid to rest. ... ... Hehehehe.

"You can be the bringer of toast and introducer of things! It's two jobs but I bet you could handle it, Dima!" She had SO much faith in him. PLUS she liked food so OBVIOUSLY she was hoping he'd accept the job roles. So it was settled, then? She really DID wish she had a gavel right now. Since she DIDN'T, she banged a random bucket against the wall like Kyroh had done with the broom before. NOW it was official. YUP! BEAAAAM!

She-Who-Must-Always-Write. Maddie grinned TOO though she thought it was sort of a mouthful. What if they had to get her attention RIGHT AWAY but couldn't cause her name was TOO LONG and they RAN OUT OF TIME?! Yeah, they needed to rethink that.

"Scribbulus IS cool. I like that one!" Cause it WAS a place and when they mentioned the name, no one would know they were talking about HER! YEAH, that was a GREAT name! As for Dima's, Maddie tapped her chin. "And toast could work cause people would think we were talking about the food and not you, Dima." UH-HUH. "And what about Kyroh? Should he be Specs? Y'know, 'cause he's the lookout."

Kyroh was ignoring anymore talks of Dima being dead and getting eaten. Ignoring them. Completely. He could not hear them. Nope. He was even about to push his fingers in his ears and start chanting LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA but then the talk actually DID stop.

"I think you make toast by burning bread." Kyroh suggested helpfully. And Dima was GOOD at burning stuff so this was the PERFECT job for him! "But yeah! You can just get it too! And introduce stuff after you get the toast!" Maddie was right, Dima could handle it, Kyroh knew he could too. And they couldn't argue about it because Maddie banged the bucket so that made it OFFICIAL.

"I like Scribbulus too!" Better than She-Who-Must-Always-Write. Because what if Maddie didn't want to write sometimes? That wouldn't be fair at all! "And Toast!" Thinking up names wasn't THAT hard when there were three of them doing it! He couldn't help but smile at the thought either.

As for him? The name specs made a small fit of giggles leave his mouth. Kyroh made a circle with each of his hands and placed them on his face-like binoculars! "It's Perfect!!" Look out people this was a SECRET club and Specs was here to make it STAYED like that.

NOW they had some rules. Jobs. Code names. Kyroh brought down his hands and tapped his finger against his chin. What else was needed now? It took a second before the lightbulb went off in the boys head. "We just need the most important thing now! Our group name! I only have one idea though." He had researched for it and EVERYTHING. It had been harder than he thought."But I think Maddie's might be better. Do you have any ideas Dima?"

Default new TL/empty room :3 - for Juliaaaaaaaaaa
Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight

Somehow, at some point during their walk back up through the castle, Toby suddenly became the one leading the way, with just a quick "C'mon," and a reassuring smile. He hurried them along out of the dungeons, preferring to try and get at least up to ground level before they stopped to talk.

It wasn't long before they'd reached the door out into the Entrance Hall, but Tobias only paused for a moment before crossing the vast floor and straight for the broom closet on the other side of the room. Now peeking inside, and finding the room mercifully empty, Toby looked back at Sophie looking almost apologetic about the choice of destination, but gestured towards it anyway.

"In here? We can talk in private."

First choice would have been the grounds, but it was cold out there and required actual preparation to leave the castle, and Toby preferred to talk about this now while they were still had the discussion from the office clear in their minds.

Well, at least he could thank Culloden for something.

Sophie kept hold of Toby's hand the whole way, letting herself be led out of the dungeons. Usually full of things to say, Sophie was as silent as could be for once, only responding to Toby with a small smile and a nod at everything he said. Yes, yes, it was all fine with her.

She was still... processing. And not making sense of a lot of things. On one hand, there was relief that Toby seemed to have real feelings for her and even said such things aloud, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but wonder if he had just been trying to please Culloden. After all, the man had taken on a father-like role in her life, and weren't boys usually far too afraid of pleasing the fathers of the girls they liked? So how much of what Tobes had said was just for show, and how much did he really mean?

Talk in private. Yes. Sophie obediently entered the broom closet, not at all put off by his choice of location. Cozy and free of eavesdroppers, it was. "Sorry about him," she finally spoke up after a moment of silence, leaning against the dusty wall and sliding down to a seated position on the floor, uncaring about the spiderweb she had just squished. Her expression was solemn, and she forced herself to met Toby's gaze, "I wouldn't have dragged you there if I thought he'd do that. Didn't mean to... put you in an awkward position." There was no pressure for him to feel like he had to make any grand gestures now, see?

It wasn't until they were both in the broom cupboard with the door shut firmly behind them that Toby let out a huge breath. He, too, found himself sliding heavily down the wall so that he was sat almost directly opposite Soph.

Toby remained quiet for a moment, staring straight at the wall ahead of him almost as though in shock, his forearms resting on bent knees and head leaning against the stone wall behind him. When Sophie spoke, he glanced at her and managed a smile.

"S'okay," he said, hoping to Merlin that he sounded as sincere as he felt. Really, he wasn't angry or upset or anything, just a little (well, a lot) taken aback. That had all been kind of unexpected, see?

Well, now they were here, and now was the time to say something. But, for what felt like the first time ever, Toby was speechless. He looked again at Soph for just a moment, before shifting his position so he was hugging his legs, and pressed his forehead against his knees as he gave a small groan.

"That," he said in a muffled voice, finally able to speak now his face was more or less hidden. "Wasn't how I planned to start this conversation."

Even as he spoke it felt like there were a million questions and ideas and memories and images and racing thoughts flying round and round and round in Toby's head. He knew he should look up, but it was probably a better idea to stay like this with his eyes squeezed tightly shut; it made it way easier to concentrate on what they were talking about instead of trying to look all composed or whatever.

He could do this. He could have this conversation.

He could do this. He could have this conversation.

Toby almost looked like he was going to be sick. Sophie wanted to scoot over next to him and put an arm around him and try to help him feel better, but she wasn't sure that was the best move at the moment. He... probably would've sat beside her if he wanted to be near her for this conversation. For now, Soph was going to let Tobes be in control of how things developed. Except that, y'know, he was curled up in a bit of a ball and hiding from her. She could barely even make out his muffled words, and she frowned at the top of his head. Was he going to stay like that, or sit up and say something?

She waited a moment to see if he had more to add, then she sighed. Best to get straight to the point, right? "Tobes... lemme talk for a second, 'kay? Just listen." She let that request sink in for a moment, then launched into it, "Y'don't need to feel pressured to do anything. Nothing's changed between us - we're still Soph and Tobes, the best besties of all time. Okay?" She paused, hoping he would look at her. "I don't think it's as simple as Culloden made it sound. I mean... maybe I'm overthinking, but there are a lotta risks that come with putting a label on things. Everyone's... scrutiny and judgment - people inevitably prying into our business because they think we're cute and," she used her fingers to make quotation marks in the air, "'want to know how we're doing.' There'll be all sorts of expectations put upon us by people, and we're suddenly in this... mysterious realm of dating with all its weird rules and obligations and things we're probably supposed to do or whatever." There were a lot of scary things that came with being in an official "relationship" with someone, and sometimes when Sophie thought about what that pressure could do to her friendship with Tobes, it worried her.

"Everything's so easy for us now. Effortless. Free of expectations. So we could stay like this... safe and comfortable and cozy and content, or... take the plunge into the unknown. Take some risks. I mean..."

What did she mean?

She looked at Tobes long and hard, choosing her next words ever-so carefully, "I wanna be with you, and only you. " Forever, she meant, but it felt too silly to verbalize such an idea. "'Course I wanna be able to call you mine and call myself your girlfriend some day, but..." She wanted to search his eyes for some sort of understanding, or if he was leaning one way or the other, "I don't see the hurry. If we're already doing all the things without the label now... and the thought of putting a label on it makes you..." nervous? nutty? even more squirmy than normal? "...uncomfortable and pressured and you don't want to, then I don't see the big deal. I just want you to be happy and okay and comfortable around me, like normal. M'still just Sophie. You're not gonna hurt my feelings or break me or anything. We can just keep doing what we're doing. Or... stop doing something, too, if there's something y'don't like doing that makes you uneasy."

Or they could be brave and make it official and see if the foundation of best friendship they had set would stand the test of time. She didn't say that, though - she was going to leave the whole thing up to Toby. Toby, the boy whose happiness mattered more to her than anything in the whole world. Even more than her own happiness that would come from being able to call Tobes her boyfriend. It meant far more to her that they would do whatever would put him at ease.

After all, if they were meant to be, they had the rest of their lives to make it official, didn't they?

Listen? He could totally do that. It felt easier than trying to rein in his mile-a-minute thoughts and string together a sentence. In any case, most of his confusion was due to the fact that he didn't know Soph's opinion on the matter, so actually listening and communicating was probably a Very Good Idea.

And so, Toby listened. At first he stayed in that same position, his brain taking in all of this new information and throwing it at his separate anxieties until, at last, things started to sort of calm down in his head.

When Soph brought up the whole thing about putting a label on things (she totally got it), Toby finally lifted his head to look at her, and simply watched her speak and listened to everything, relieved that it was all making perfect sense. So she understood. She understood that, in all honesty, it wasn't the concept of being in a ~relationship~ that was any sort of issue, but rather the idea that it had to be officially dubbed as anything. With labels came pressure.

It was only now she was saying all of this that he felt a wave of calm wash over him, and suddenly, he knew exactly what to say.

"I've got an idea," he finally spoke up again a few moments after Soph had finished speaking, using those moments to think exactly how he was going to put this. "Everything I feel like a relationship would be like, I already feel that way about you. I like you a whole lot, I love spending time with you, I feel more comfortable around you than with almost anyone," because his grandmother held that top spot, of course "we have fun and we hang out loads and everything feels super natural with you, and you're my number one and will be until we're a hundred and fifty. For real this time." Toby let out a little grin there. He meant it; she was totally stuck with him. But what he was trying to say was that, in his mind, they were already in a relationship without having to discuss it. For him the problem only came from having to give it that whole official seal, and THAT felt like a step into the unknown...

"So here's my idea." At this point, Toby shifted so he was now sitting cross-legged on the floor of the broom closet, turned so that he was sitting at a better angle (all the better to look at Soph), and began bouncing both his knees with that same restless energy. "We go for it. Just do it. We make it 'official', and I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend." Was she following so far? Most likely; it wasn't a difficult concept after all. "On the condition that, at least to each other, we're still best friends, first and foremost."

Toby paused for a second, still bouncing his knees slightly to what had been the rhythm of his voice, before finishing.

"I just think that our friendship is what's most important. I don't ever want us to stop being best friends, even if we end up married and with a bunch of tiny Sophies and Tobys." Heh. That was a weird mental image. "Let's never lose that."

Things WOULD change, as they had the habit of doing, and that was okay. But what was stopping them from being being best friends AND being ~together~? Probably nothing.

Ahem. "So... whatcha think?"

Things WOULD change, as they had the habit of doing, and that was okay. But what was stopping them from being being best friends AND being ~together~? Probably nothing.

Ahem. "So... whatcha think?"

Sophie brought her knees up to her chest when she was finished giving her spiel and wrung her hands nervously as Tobes began to reply. She forced herself to meet his gaze, breathing slowly and deeply after having possibly said too much. But Tobes looked sort of excited now, and she tried to process every one of his words, but there was a high-pitched buzzing in her ears from nerves that made her feel entirely too disoriented, and she thumped her head back against the wall, now looking at her knees.

She felt all the same things about him. Undoubtedly. But HEARING that he reciprocated those feelings instead of her just assuming... it brought all sorts of emotions to the surface that she had been trying to repress for the sake of their friendship. "Me too," she spoke softly, her throat tight and raspy to accompany her struggle of holding back happy tears. "You're my number one, too." And the thought of being with him for the next hundred and thirty-five years made her smile the biggest of smiles. What could be better than that?

As Toby adjusted his seating position, so did Sophie - she was curious about his tone, and sat forward, raising her eyebrows with interest at what he was going to say.

And oh, did he have something to say.

As soon as he said 'we go for it,' giddy giggles bubbled in her throat and she brought the back of her hand up to her mouth to try to cover it up while he went on. He was her boyfriend and she was his girlfriend. HEHEHEHEHEHE.

The concept was beautiful.

The giggles kept coming, but she was better at quieting them, pressing her lips together firmly in a smile until he was done. Except at the part where he joked about them having kids, which made her go bug-eyed at him and she burst into laughter. YEAH RIGHT.

She took a moment to gain some composure, straightening herself out and wiping the smile off her face in an attempt to be mature and serious. Didn't go all that well. "So... even if we decide we don't want to be girlfriend-boyfriend some day, we'll promise to still always be besties? 'Cause that's what we'll base our whole relationship on, yeah? Friendship? Always and forever? ... Y'promise to always keep this in mind?" She felt the same way he did, obviously, but she needed to verbalize it, and even extended her pinky finger out to make it official and certain. "Besties first and forever, girlfriend-boyfriend second?"

He would just IGNORE THAT LAUGHTER. Another simple giggle at his fabulous joke would have sufficed though, Sophie Brown. JUST SAYING. Still, he couldn't help but grin a bit at his own expense too, because this was going WELL.

Basically, it seemed like Toby was on entirely the same page as Sophie, and that was a huge relief. He beamed even wider and nodded his head almost in time with his bouncing knees before holding out his own little finger and hooking it around hers.

"Promise," he said simply, blue eyes twinkling even in the dim light. "Friendship comes first. We're best friends, just like before, and now just happen to also be boyfriend and girlfriend as well."

This had gone perfectly; the racing thoughts in his head had slowed right down and particular anxieties had been quelled by this simple act of communication. Once again, everything felt right. Well, except the fact that he was kinda hungry, and they were right by the Great Hall. Lunch was next on the agenda, yup.

Basically, it seemed like Toby was on entirely the same page as Sophie, and that was a huge relief. He beamed even wider and nodded his head almost in time with his bouncing knees before holding out his own little finger and hooking it around hers.

"Promise," he said simply, blue eyes twinkling even in the dim light. "Friendship comes first. We're best friends, just like before, and now just happen to also be boyfriend and girlfriend as well."

This had gone perfectly; the racing thoughts in his head had slowed right down and particular anxieties had been quelled by this simple act of communication. Once again, everything felt right. Well, except the fact that he was kinda hungry, and they were right by the Great Hall. Lunch was next on the agenda, yup.

This had been way easier than she'd ever anticipated this conversation would be.

Once they got through the initial awkwardness of uncertainty toward the other's feelings, Sophie was visibly more relaxed, and she was still giggling even when they secured the deal with a pinky promise. "I like this." She slipped her pinky from his and pulled his hand into what seemed to be a handshake, but then she pulled herself over to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then ended up sitting right beside him.

...What? She still wasn't used to being allowed to kiss him properly. Give the kid a break. Hehe.

"Y'know," she said, looking straight ahead at the wall in front of them, then at Tobes, "Culloden's gonna be so smug he 'finally,'" with the air quotation marks again, "made this happen." She hated that. He'd tease her about it and want a 'thank you' and probably an apology for being so annoyed with him back in the office, too, but... she was still smiling a little. The big dummy. He did give them the push in the right direction, even though he'd embarrassed them - or her, at least - but she still wanted to get him back.

Maybe Tobes would help her think of a good prank later.

"Y'mind if we don't tell him just yet? He's gonna ask - can we draw it out? Torture him a bit?" Sometime while she was talking, she had slipped her hand into his hand closest to her, and she gave it a squeeze. Girlfriend. Boyfriend. The labels came back to her, and she grinned the biggest of grins at the thought.

She was his.
