Shane huffed when Eros refused to let her go, to let her leave, and clenched her jaw as he interrogated her despite the fact that he slightly slurred his words. “No, he didn’t say anything,” She murmured in response, turning her head to look at the boy in question, watching him talk with one of the pretty Gryffindor players. “It doesn’t have anything to do with what he said. It’s just…” The blonde struggled to make her raging inner thoughts into words, before she turned back to glance at the Hufflepuff, desperately willing him to understand. “You know how you look at someone when you like them? Or even when you think they’re distractingly pretty? You look when you think no one’s looking, but they always catch you at some point.” Eros knew what she was talking about; he’d caught her looking at his best friend at least a dozen times. “Except…I’ve never caught him looking, Cha. Not once. And it’s so stupid how I’m just now realizing that - there’s got to be a little bit of a spark to get someone to like you.” Her lower lip trembled until he grabbed her wrist and Shane struggled to snatch it back. “Eros, stop TOUCHING me. I don’t LIKE it.” Her voice was louder than she intended, drawing several curious stares from those nearby.
“What happened then Shane?” Eros asks, his eyebrows furrowed as he tries to work thorough the mess in his muddled brain. Getting this drunk was not a smart decision, he concluded. His brown eyes widen as he listens to her, head tilted to the side, not enough to knock his crown off his head. “I mean, some people get that feeling, but Apollo’s an odd one. I don’t know what goes on in his head, Shane, honestly. If i did, I wouldn’t spend so much time trying to figure him out.” His lower lip settles into a pout as she finishes, sighing softly. “Neither you nor I can force Apollo to feel something for you Shane.” He says softly. He’s taken aback slightly when she yells at him, golden armor clinking slightly. “Then stop trying to run away from me when I’m trying to HELP.” He says back, dropping her wrist. “I’m trying to be a good friend and make sure that you’re okay. I get that my best friend is being a dick right now, but I’m not okay?”
