stress

Emrys was stressed. As if being in fifth year and studying for his OWLS wasn’t enough, something felt... off. More specifically, something about his friendship with Alastor. The boy had been his friend for years, but recently -- things seemed to be different. 

Every time the other smiled at him, his heart seemed to flutter. He was more nervous around his friend, and strangely, found himself wanting to show off more to impress the other. It didn’t make sense, the only time he was usually like this was when ---. 

Wanting to confirm his thoughts, he went straight to Caden. Rhos was busy and Cain would most definitely be useless, and the others were far too young. He spluttered his thoughts out, cheeks flushing as he stammered through an explanation. He was greeted with a slap on the shoulder and amused smile, the words ‘Don’t be dense, Em’ swimming in his head even after the older boy had long left. 

Well, it wasn’t exactly the conversation he’d had in mind -- if one at all, but it had pretty much confirmed his suspicions. 

He had a crush on his best friend, and wasn’t as straight as he thought he was. Though, given his siblings, he shouldn’t have been too surprised. 

Emrys didn’t let it change things between them, sure, he came out to the boy that had pretty much caused him to have a slight crisis, but he lied and claimed it had been another he’d realised he liked. There was no way Emrys was going to screw up the best friendship he had, just because he thought his best friend was pretty. Besides, he told himself, Alastor would never like him back anyway.

Bryn rolled his eyes at his brother. There was no point arguing with him, even when he was in a hospital bed. He was still the stubborn one. Somehow I doubt that. The brunet let out a soft sigh, not wanting to keep talking about his own issues… but Emrys had always been the first one to see through him. “I’m going to talk to him.” He tried to reassure him. “I think he’s just… in shock. He’ll come around.”

“Well talk to him about your own issues, not mine,” Emrys retorted, shaking his head. “Yeah maybe. We weren’t exactly on best terms when I, you know, died. I just wish he’d have a damn conversation with me. Maybe I’ll corner him at Easter. If I can get away from Rhos for two minutes, that is.”

“We’re not close, I’m just nosy,” she said with a smirk, her head turning to look at him. “I don’t think I’ll be taking on anyone anytime soon, so you’ll just have to put up with me while you’re still in here too.” Alina sighed slightly, regaining control of the pain and letting it dull before she chuckled–as much as she could while avoiding injuring herself more. “As much as I hate to admit it, Cain would win during the current situation, but maybe one day.”

“Oh, now you’re breaking my heart. Here I thought we were going to be best friends for life -- or wait, that’s my sister, isn’t it?” He teased, shooting her a wink. “I could think of worse people to deal with,” He told her honestly with a laugh. “Yeah, as much as I hate to admit it, Cain is scarily good at duelling. He may act like an idiot but he’s actually pretty smart. Though I think that’s just a general rule for our family. Anyway, I wouldn’t advise trying to take him in any situation, he may be a disaster, but he’s training to be a hitwizard like my grandfather.”

“You can’t be your own favorite,” she said with a smirk as soon as she saw her friend, basically back from the dead. Sun took the last few steps toward him and wrapped her arms around him. “Bloody hell, I’m glad to see you.” Pulling away a bit, she glanced down at his drink. “That strong enough for you, or do we need to spike the punch even more for old time’s sake?”

“Says who?” He retorted with a grin. As the other wrapped her arms around him, Emrys hugged her back. “Yeah, it’s good to see you too. It’s good to see anyone that isn’t my family, however, so, you’re not that special I’m afraid,” He teased before pulling away. “God no it’s not strong enough, please can we spike the punch? Winnie’s watching me like a freaking hawk. Not that I blame her considering what happened last time we had an event, but I don’t particularly want to deal with that right now.”

“Cute?” She nearly choked on the words, knowing her cheeks were likely a bright red now. Elodie let out a nervous chuckle before she continued with her words. “N-No, well…yes, for both of those, but…Merlin.” She took a deep breath as she looked down. “A lot of–of people in my year think you–you’re attractive…”

“Yeah, cute. I could use other words if you’d prefer. Pretty, beautiful, adorable,” He listed with a grin. “Oh, they do do they?” He mused, his smirk only growing. “What about you, Elodie Nott? Do you think I’m attractive?”

“You fancied a stroll?” Lily repeated his words, only slower, openly voicing her scepticism. He was possibly the last person she would expect to find and given everything that had happened, her worry was justified. “You’re supposed to be in bed, not roaming the halls. What’s going on?”

“....Yes?” Emrys grimaced, knowing how utterly fake his words sounded. He wasn’t fooling anyone, and he knew it. “I know, I know. I must have sleep walked or some shit, Lils, being stuck in that damn room is driving me up the wall.” It wasn’t entirely the truth, but it wasn’t exactly a lie either. “What are you doing up?”

“More than me.” Kingsley countered, leaning back on his seat and pulling out another pack of peppermint toads for himself. “Why is it that half the Gryffindors who end up in the hospital wing blame the Prewetts?” He thought fro a second, before shrugging. “I’m not doubting their involvement. But there’s only two twins. I don’t understand.”

“Rude,” Emrys huffed, before laughing. “I mean, you’ve met them right? Nevermind Fabian so much, but Gideon Prewett is a one man walking disaster. I love the bloke, but he’s a terrible influence on me and like, most people.”

Andrew hadn’t been big on crowds since his brother’s death, he didn’t want to make small talk or pretend like he wasn’t constantly thinking about what to do if something happened, and where the nearest exit was. If Maelie hadn’t dragged him to Sirius and Mary’s wedding, he’d likely be in his dorm reading. But here he was lurking on the outskirts of the party, leaning against the wall with his eyes scanning the crowd when he noticed a figure nearby. “You’re missing the party by staring at me.” Andrew smirked just slightly and turned to look at them.

Emrys had left Nyx to talk to her friends, aimlessly wandering the party in the search for someone to talk to. Sipping on the beer Winnie would definitely glare at him for having, his eyes caught sight of Andrew. His gaze lingered a little too long, and the other seemed to notice. “Hmm, perhaps, but you’re far more interesting too look at,” He retorted, smirking back at the other as he raised the bottle to his lips.

“Well if it isn’t my favourite Gryffindor, aside from myself, that is,” Emrys teased as he made his way over to Sun, a grin stretched across his lips. He was somewhat glad to be back at school, and the festivities were a welcoming distraction. That being said, he was being careful to make sure he didn’t spot his siblings -- he was sure if they saw the drink in his hands they’d have a few choice words. “How are you doing?”

[emrysabbott]

blanilla‌:

“Pretty much.” A smile smile was on his lips, he was still feeling shocked at seeing him alive, talking like as if nothing had happened. His face fell at the mention of darkness and pain, perhaps if he had suffered it was best he didn’t remember. “What kind of nightmares? What can you remember about them?” 

“Well, I still look better than both Cain and Caden combined, so I’m fine,” He joked weakly. Before letting out a sigh as the other’s face fell. “Not a lot. It’s mainly just memories of... the...” The words caught in his throat, and for the first time since he’d been back, Emrys looked vulnerable. “The cruciatus curse being used on me, the unbearable pain that was. I did remember one voice. E-Elijah, but I thought he was in Azkaban.”

Clydeane didn’t know quite how to respond as Emrys smiled at her–until she heard his lame attempt at a joke. That she knew how to react to. She laughed, head shaking as she checked out his chart. “Oh, you’re incredibly lucky to get such a hot healer. Better me than Nott, you know?” While she had to admit, Stefan was decently physically attractive, his piss poor politics made him rather ugly in her eyes. She tutted lightly, pulling the chart from her eyes. “You’ve really done a number on yourself this time, but that’s alright. We’ll get you back to being the second hottest Abbott in no time,” she teased with a wink. 

“Ever so lucky. Hey now, Nott may be a twat, but he is still very easy on the eyes,” Emrys mused with a smirk, wiggling his brows at her. “Yeah well, you know me, Deanie, I can’t seem to keep myself out of trouble,” He mused. “Wait-- Second??? Okay, please tell me you mean Bryn, or Gwen, or Winnie, because I’ll only be mildly insulted. However if it’s Cain, I’m disowning you as my friend.”

Anna gripped onto his hand, trying to fight back the tears in her eyes. She was stronger than she knew, really, and while she was worried about hurting him, she also felt like he could slip away if she let go. Let loose. “You’re not okay, Em. Merlin’s beard, what did they do to you?” Emrys and August… what had the Death Eaters done to them both. Guilt flooded her for a moment as she realized she’d never asked her own brother that same question. “You can’t. You’ve got to stick around this time, grow old and grey. I want to see you in a walker, Emrys Abbott.” Not that Anna thought she, personally, would live that long.

“What are you talking about, I look fabulous?” He teased weakly, letting out a sigh. “In all honestly, I don’t know and I don’t think I want to.” He admitted. As she talked about seeing him with a walker, he huffed out a laugh. “Come on, Anna, you know me. I’m gonna be 105 and still skipping around the place. You can’t get rid of me that easily, alright?” He shifted on the bed, wincing as he did so, but made room all the same. “Come on,” He murmured, patting the spot next to him. “I need Anna cuddles.”

Kingsley barked out a laugh at his reaction, shaking his head a bit. “It’s not a dig at you this time, it’s a dig at you for all of the other times.” He teased, crossing his arms. “You’ve ended up in here far too many times.”

“There wasn’t that many times,” Emrys tried to argue, pulling a face. “Okay, there might of been a few. One time was Gideon’s fault though. Actually know, I should know better than to trust Prewett, that’s on me. Still his fault I lost an eyebrow. That was not a good month in seventh year.”

“Wow, debatable.” Bryn said teasingly, laughing at his words. The last thing he wanted to be talking about, especially when Emrys had just come back to life, was the idea that he could talk to him, or Winnie… he knew that. But he wasn’t the one their attention should be focused on right now. “I know, I will.” He told him first, before just shaking his head. “He’s better than you think.”

“No, it’s the truth. Don’t argue with me, Brynmor, I’m too stubborn for that,” He teased. His smile faded as the other said he would, before rolling his eyes. “Somehow I doubt that, but I mean it.” He’s better than you think. “I know that. I’m just allowed to be hurt right now, he walked in for five minutes and barely said a word to me, Bryn. I’m allowed to be mad at him.”

Thea’s hard expression softened slightly as he spoke, but she clenched her jaw again by the time he’d finished. She didn’t even know what to say - what was there to say? There were so many things that came to mind, and yet she couldn’t bring herself to voice any of them. So, when he told her to leave, she felt herself deflating slightly. That moment of softness, however, only lasted a moment, before the cold resolve settled over her face again. The only emotion was hidden behind her eyes now, as she shook her head. Without a word, she turned, and headed for the door.
