The Meeting in the Dorms (Avalee needed!)

Aiden · August 9, 2009, 10:19:08 AM

Aiden sat down beside her, entwining his warm hand with hers. It was so natural, so easy. He looked at Stacey with a worried expression. It was just a headache as she said, but he knew Stacey wasn't the type of person to complain about things.

He slowly lifted his free hand to her cheek, caressing it softly as he rubbed his thumb over it.
"I'm sorry love. Is it bad?" Aiden asked, with a frown.

Stacey couldn`t help but smile as Aiden caressed her cheek.
"I`m fine, my moon." She said softly and truthfully. She knew that Aiden had worried a little more about her after he had witnessed her latest "voice attack." She really was fine.

It had been a stressfull day. For everyone.

Aiden · August 9, 2009, 11:10:42 AM

Aiden rubbed her cheek gently, and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. He had remembered the voice attacks, and cringed at the thought. Ever since then he'd been increasingly cautious, even with the little things.
"I hope so." He sighed, pressing his lips into a straight line.

potter_fan122 · August 9, 2009, 11:12:28 AM

Stacey smiled reassuringly.
"I`m fine, Aiden, really. It`s probably just a combination of today and the weather." She explained, her eyes serious.

Aiden · August 9, 2009, 11:50:26 AM

Aiden nodded thoughtfully, but decided it was best to let it go. He rested his hand on his knee in a fist.
"Things are going to change, aren't they?" He asked, realizing the statement was pretty vague. "With us." He added a few moments later.

potter_fan122 · August 9, 2009, 11:52:21 AM

Stacey lowered her eyes to the ground and didn`t speak for a moment.
"Change in what way?" She asked after a moment.

Aiden · August 9, 2009, 12:33:29 PM

Aiden watched her eyes, and he frowned.
"Like, I don't want us to change at all. But, after what I've done...maybe make things difficult." He tried to explain in the best way he could.

potter_fan122 · August 9, 2009, 12:36:53 PM

Stacey`s eyes met his again, and they were soft -looking. She thought, trying to find the right words.
"Aiden, I... don`t think that this will change us in a bad way, at least not a lot. Yes, I`m kind of hurt about it, but what can I do? I want you to be happy, so... well..." She didn`t finish her thought, she didn`t even know how to finish it.

"It think that if anything, it`s made me trust you a little bit more." She admitted.

Aiden · August 10, 2009, 03:36:07 AM

Aiden pressed his lips together into a straight line, his expression still hard as if he were thinking about something confusing. He slowly began tipping his head to the right.
"Trust me more? How?"

potter_fan122 · August 10, 2009, 04:07:17 AM

Stacey carefully started to run her fingers through his hair.
"Well, when Niles left me, he didn`t say anything. He just disappeared. Then two months later I got a note from him. You told me. You were truthful about it, too. You told me that this happened last night. You were able to tell me this soon." She squeezed his hands.

"You didn`t lie to me, and you told me. That would have been very hard to do." Her eyes were serious, but soft.

Aiden · August 10, 2009, 10:41:58 AM

Aiden used his hand to rub over the back of his neck. It didn't matter if he told her, he still felt wrong and dirty. He sighed, and closed his eyes slowly.
"Stacey, I love you enough that I don't want to lie to you. Even if I am rotten enough to do something like that, I wouldn't lie to you." He explained slowly.

potter_fan122 · August 11, 2009, 02:52:03 AM

Stacey watched Aiden as he rubbed the back of his neck again. She knew that he felt horrible, she could feel it.
"Aiden, I know. You won`t lie to me, I can`t lie to you, okay? It would be so easy to guess what I was thinking. Besides, even if you lied to me, I would know. I may not know what the truth was, but I would know that you were saying it." She took Aiden`s hand.

"I love you. So, so much. You really are the best thing that`s ever happened to me."

Aiden · August 11, 2009, 08:12:11 AM

Aiden dropped his hand onto his lap, the other hand holding Stacey's tightly. He sighed again, and looked at her.
"I love you too, and I don't ever want to be with anyone else." He replied sincerely.

Aiden leaned back against the base of a large, old oak tree. He closed his eyes slowly, and sighed again.

potter_fan122 · August 13, 2009, 10:41:06 AM

Stacey, too leaned back and closed her eyes, which were much darker than usual. She was usually very happy, especially when she was with Aiden. Current events couldn`t make her happy enough, though, and her eyes really were the window to her soul.

"You know what?" She asked, her eyes still closed. "I think that this has just made us closer." She opened her eyes and turned her head to face him.

Aiden · August 14, 2009, 07:05:05 AM

Aiden turned to her, noticing the dark color that stayed in her usually bright eyes. He had rarely ever been around Stacey when her eyes were anything other than a bright blue or orange.
"You think?" He asked surprised.
Aiden paused, and looked at the ground.
"I hope so." He said under his breath.
