On the fourth floor corridor is one of the few balconies in the castle. With a view of Hogwarts grounds, this balcony is a great place to take a break from doing that lengthy Arithmancy homework, or to generally relax with your friend.

Just as she was about to voice her dissatisfaction and storm off, he got his act somewhat together. She rolled her eyes at him (because, gosh, boys were so much trouble) and shrugged, "Sure, why not." That was a yes, by the way. If he was gonna play casual so was she. Bentley blinked at her. "Why not?" His eyebrows almost disappeared into his hairline. There were a lot of reasons why they should 'not'.
He gave her something of a stiff nod before leaning off the ball. Maybe today wasn't a good day to ask. Maybe she was in one of her deeply feminist moods and he should have chosen a different day. "K...well..I'll see you around then."

"K...well..I'll see you around then." She wasn't legitametely asking why not. It was just a casual, albeit probably wrong, word choice.
When Bentley clammed up and got all, well, Bentley on her. Chloe resisted the urge to roll her eyes and she grabbed his arm. He wasn't allowed to go. He had to stand right here while they figured this out, got back on the same page.
"I'm teasing you," Chloe soothed his fragile ego, "Yes, of course. I'll be your girlfriend." Was that a clearer answer? She hoped so. The blonde didn't know how to be more clear.

He didn't have a fragile ego. Not really and not most days. He was just a Gryffindor who wore his heart and feelings on his sleeves whether they were good or bad. Chloe was a Claw who did the complete opposite.
At least sometimes. Today it felt like she was playing games..and it was weird to him. He didn't know what to make of it.
He looked down at his arm then at her. "Ummm...okay."

"Ummm...okay." Um, okay?
Chloe kind of stared at him. Um okay was the most lack lustre way in the entire universe to reply to her right now. It stung before she considered that perhaps her phrasing of sure why not may have inspired the same feeling in him.
Gosh, why was this so much harder than she had anticipated? It was one question and one answer. And they'd managed to muddle it up.
Chloe slipped her hand that was holding his arm into his dangling hand. Gently, she asked, "So, that's that, then?" She offered him a smile, too.

It still wasn't at all what he had pictured or hoped for. This wasn't much of anything. It wasn't like he didn't want her, he knew he did and he was willing to put up with all of this,which was what came with wanting her.
Patience.
He gave her hand a squeeze then pulled his away. "Does this feel how you thought it would feel?" Honestly.

"Does this feel how you thought it would feel?" Honestly. He was acting skiddish, could he tell? And it was beginning to annoy her. Not much but enough that she was taking offense to it. Like, she was hoping for a little enthusiasm after all of the drama it took for them to get here.
And then he let go of her hand. She shot him an irritated eyebrow for that. Chloe was doing a lot of compromise here. Her hand was to be appreciated.
His next question was silly. He should have stuck with the first one, asking her out, and left while he was ahead. "Feel?" Chloe considered, "I didn't think it'd feel much like anything. I like you. That's a feeling." Girlfriend was not a feeling. It was a title. And any girl who said they felt different just because of a title was deluding themselves. Or a lion.

She was on page one and he was damn near the middle of the book. If he could read her mind, and he really wish he could, then he'd be offended that she felt offended, considering the fact that she was the one who offended him. "I don't think we should do this." This was the perfect time to back pedal and remove himself from whatever was happening here. Whatever it was, it was getting worse. "I don't want what /this/ is." Her wall was up again and when it was, she was a completely different person. "I think I should go...promised Heath I'd umm...show him some stuff...." He rubbed the back of his neck and looked past her. "I'll see you around,yeah?"

He was being weird. That was not an interpretation of the situation, it was the situation. After everything it felt like he was backing out, running for the hills. And considering it took Chloe a long time to come around (see: a LONG time) she didn't know why he was acting like this. Why he was being dodgy.
....
Oh my gosh. He WAS backing out. Chloe crossed her arms. Waves of displeasure were pouring off of her, "Bentley..." She didn't know what else to say besides his name. Heck, she didn't know where to even begin.

This wasn't going well. He was sure she could tell that too.

This wasn't going well. He was sure she could tell that too. She hesitated to speak, her impatience with him would only make her say something hurtful. She knew that. She just, well, wanted to jinx him into next year for being so bullheaded.
Chloe wanted to remind the lion that not everything was going to go exactly how he had pictured it in his head. Lions were idealists. That was not practical.
Why did it matter so much to him that the words were right, that she said the perfect things back? If he wanted a specific interaction he should have written her a script. Merlin.
"If you want me," she started, "right now would be the time to prove it."

"If you want me," she started, "right now would be the time to prove it." What?
Bentley turned squarely to her and folded his arms across his chest before fixing her with a deep and dimpled frown. "What?"
Had he not? They had been on this same roller-coaster ride for basically three years. He had been patient. Extremely so and he had given her time. How were they here?
How could she ask him to prove that he wants her when he spent the last three years doing so. "Oh wow...." He shook, his head and dropped his arms. "I'm exhausted from doing that. If I haven't done so already well then I'm sorry but I don't have any more tricks up my sleeve."

"That's not what I mean," she sighed, "and you know it. You're walking away." Actually, it felt more like he was running away but she didn't point that out. It felt pretty obvious to her.
Now, when the time came to ask her properly (because he'd been so insistent on asking her properly) it seemed like he was getting hung up on details. The rain, the setting, her answer. It was ludicrous to her. None of that mattered. Not a single stitch of circumstance.
Yes, they had been on the same up-and-down ride together. She was doing her best, she was trying. She knew she wasn't the best at this kind of stuff but she was here. And that statement was louder than anything she could have verbalised. Chloe wasn't great with words.
If he wanted her, he had to take her version of this day. It was all she could do. She could not bend and break herself into doing this perfectly. She didn't know how. But she had shown up to do it.
For him.

For him. "Then for once Chloe, say what you mean!" He was frustrated. " I don't want to play this guess and assume game anymore. It's tiring." That's why he asked her to be his girlfriend. Title be damned.
He had done the whole getting a girlfriend for the sake of having one thing and that didn't work out for him, because for whatever reason, he ended up right back here...in front of her..having an argument very similar to the one that they were having now. What are we? Do we keep doing this? Blah!

What are we? Do we keep doing this? Blah! Chloe ACTUALLY rolled her eyes this time. Like, was he serious? His words were absolutely insane.
The blonde narrowed her eyes and stepped into his personal space. She wanted him to really, really hear what she had to say. Listen up, Moore. "Say what I mean? Say what I mean? I said I would be your girlfriend. I said yes. In what world is that unclear, Bentley? Honestly," she scoffed, "you want me to say what I mean? I did. I said yes. I'm not sure what you want else you wanna hear. Gosh, it's like, it's like, you've built this moment up in your head to be something it was never gonna be. I don't know how to make this more special for you. My yes should be enough."

She was right though, maybe he had built up something in his head that was never going to happen. "I don't need you to do anything."
Good time to exit stage left though. "And you can keep your 'sure, why not'." The fourth year stuffed his hands into his pocket and headed for the stairs.
