“I’d be HONOURED– i’d like our chances against the red queen and no, i’m not implying that it’s miss. black–” he added swiftly, “what i meant is– we’re a good team, always have been” he shrugged, he didn’t know when they had started, maybe it was breakfast in first and he was just astounded by her ability to talk or perhaps it was him rescuing her from sluggy’s wrath in potions, she had always been there. they had always been THEM. “are you sure?” he hadn’t said all of that in an attempt to inhibit her, he would never. he wanted her to have fun and if she wanted to feel a little out of her senses – then he would be there to help after, “what i meant was, if you want to take a drink – i’ll keep an eye on you” he promised.
a groan slipping from his lips as she tugged him to the dance floor - he was never able to REFUSE her, he wasn’t sure if it was the pout or the look of pure determination in her gaze, he didn’t want to get between it. shifting uncomfortably as they stood still – the bop no longer in play, it had all SLOWED down and frankie longbottom who nearly always knew what to do was at a LOST. he was sure he was sporting the classic deer in the headlights, but he fell limber to her guidance, hands moving to carefully hold her waist as she wrapped her own around his neck, tugging him CLOSER, “how am i doing?” he questioned, clearing his throat uneasily. trying to keep his cool was probably not going well, he had always been a mess – it’s just, hiding it from her had been much easier, but lately everything seemed like it was slipping through the cracks. “thank you – for this” he murmured, “for not GIVING UP on me, for being insistent on trying to make my life a bit LIGHTER. for being here tonight, even though i knew you were having a rough week – i notice, alice. it means – A LOT”
LAUGHTER SPILLED FROM PINK LIPS, eyebrows creasing before she spoke. “ i’m sure that someone would. “ from what she could tell narcissa was social in her own way at least she always seemed to be surrounded by people. weirdly behaved crowds but nonetheless everyone had their niche and space to fit in. who was she to judge? even if she did think the youngest black had a stick up her arse. regardless she effervescently nodded if there was something easy to see it was that she and frank bounced off each other well. “ that’s because you’re the logic to my... “ her voice trailed as she attempted to find the right words. “ nonsensical ways? “ she finished with a quizzical look, before shaking her head. lips curved into a smile at his next words and she nodded.
“ well i’ll keep it in MIND but between you and me, i happen to think that a sugar high, achieves the same effect. “ she stated with a proud smile. “ and passing out because i ate one too many CHOCOLATE frogs sounds loads better than —- whatever might be in any of those things. “ she rambled on for a moment as they found their rhythm. he was after all about a foot taller than she was, not that she minded —- there was always a feeling of safety that came with being close to him. this time wasn’t any different and all she could really do is smile as he rambled on. “ you’re doing great. “ but he was always great, regardless of what they were doing she’d never think any differently. a sheepish laugh slipped her lips, scrunching up her nose she shook her head, the position growing even more comfortable as they swayed to the music. “ no thanks necessary, besides it’s my pleasure. “ she mused with a soft smile, as doe eyes met the blue of his. oh? had they always been that blue? how could she have possibly missed that? blinking profusely in an attempt to play down her staring she shook her head as if that would get her to come back to reality. “ it’s never difficult when it’s you. “ and not because they didn’t have their differences, they so obviously did but things flowed naturally just about all the time. “ and it’s i who should be saying thanks, for pushing me to come. “ she paused for a second. “ i’d be buried under a pile of opened chocolate bars and i don’t anyone here is ready to see that. “ she finished with a light snort. “ maybe someday but certainly not today. “
