“I guess your right, Link,” she said with a bit of a nod. “One?” Zara asked not quite believing such a gorgeous girl only had one suiter, “Please tell me you’ve been whoring it up when you weren’t with them,” she said.

Lincoln frowned at Zara’s surprise at her revelation. “You know I’m only nineteen, right?” she questioned, feeling that one was a perfectly reasonable number of ex-boyfriends to have at this point in her life.

zarathemagical​:

“Oh- well yeah,” she told. “But none of my exs honestly,” she explained. 

“Okay, well that’s different than not missing anyone,” Lincoln pointed out with a small laugh. “I don’t miss any of my exes either. Though, I only actually have one.” 

[lifeoflinc]

zarathemagical​:

“I never really miss anyone,” Zara laughed a bit not thinking too much about how that sounded.

“No one at all?” Lincoln questioned. “Like, not even your family or your best friend?”

[lifeoflinc]

zarathemagical​:

“Oof,” Zara said looking down at her phone before looking at the person in front of her, “That ‘I miss you’ text is really something ex’s can’t help themselves with, huh,” she asked liking to keep her past in her past.

Lincoln scrunched up her nose at the other girl’s words. “Ugh, I hate that,” she sympathized. “Even worse when it’s coming from someone you really don’t miss.”

“Yeah, I’d definitely like that,” Moony grinned, watching over her shoulder as she got the cab. “What other things are there to do here?” He questioned. “I know there’s a studio tour… but that might take a long time.”

“There’s a ton of stuff, it just depends on what you wanna see,” Lincoln shrugged. She quickly looked up the studio tour since her phone was already out. “Three and a half hours,” she informed him. “Do you think we could squeeze it in before we have to be back?”

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

Moony followed her to the door, glad to have at least gotten the girl moving towards a better mood. “This tour is my first time out of even California,” he told, shoving his hands in his pockets as they walked. “But I’m happy to go wherever you choose,” just lead the way.

Lincoln was good at least at staying in the moment and moving on quickly when the topic changed, never one to dwell on a bad feeling. “Okay, then let’s do the cliche touristy thing first and get you a picture at platform 9 3/4,” she decided, pulling her phone from her purse as she walked so she could order them a cab.

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

Moony wanted to believe Lincoln, he really did. He couldn’t tell if it was complicated because she did in fact have feelings for him or something else that the girl just wasn’t telling him. He didn’t want to push at this moment and ruin her day in London, especially since she had already seemed off the past couple of days. “Okay,” He decided, at least for the moment. “Ready to go get our Potter on?”

Lincoln let out a soft sigh when Moony dropped the subject, grateful to be moving on with her day and not answering further questions about Benji. “Please, let’s,” she agreed, pushing herself up off of his bed and heading for the door. “I’ve been to King’s Cross, but I don’t know if you have so we can do that first if you want,” she suggested. “Or I really wanna go to the London Zoo and see the reptile house.”

THE SWEETHEART       

“a soft heart is stronger than an iron-clad mind.” kindness and love floods her spirit. she is sweet, gentle, and sensitive. she cares for those who cannot care for themselves, and loves those who cannot find love elsewhere. she is warmhearted in every respect.

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

Moony wanted to just accept Lincoln’s answer, but his head was absolutely reeling. 21 years and he had never even considered another boy this way and now that he suddenly did he was supposed to find another option. It wasn’t that he found himself pining over Benji or feeling a need for a repeat of the other night, but he did want to to figure himself out. Having to find an attraction for a completely new guy to do that made the process feel that much more complicated. “Wait…” He finally said, looking up at Lincoln. “Do you like him?”

Lincoln frowned. She knew her answer to his question, but she wasn’t convinced her answer was the right one. She’d spent her entire public life being told that her own thoughts and feelings shouldn’t be the ones she was voicing, and as much as she wanted to be real with Moony, she feared that if she gave him even one loose thread, her entire story would unravel and she wouldn’t be able to recover from all the lies she’d told. “No,” she replied extremely tentatively, not sure she saying the right thing. “I just mean,” she sighed. “We’re friends.” It was a lie she’d told enough times, every time someone asked her about him, that she could tell it fairly convincingly. “It’s complicated.”

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

Moony gave Lincoln a small smile. It did help to know that whatever he did settle on, at least he still had a friend to lean back on. However, the smile started to fade when she continued to talk about Benji. He wasn’t upset because she was talking down on the other, but more so the fact that he was trying to figure out what that meant for and about himself. “What’s wrong with Benji?” He questioned, his voice quieter than it had been before. 

Lincoln chewed gently on the inside of her cheek as she considered Moony’s question. She looked down at the bedspread, drawing lines with her finger in line with the design as she thought. “He’s just,” she stopped, not sure what exactly she could, or even wanted to disclose. Being entirely honest when talking about Benji was always off the table for her, between her label’s demands and her own moral compass keeping her from saying anything mean about anyone. “It’s complicated,” she stated, hoping her tone implied it wasn’t something she wanted to continue speaking about. “There’s 7 billion other people on this planet. Plenty of other options.”

Benji was an idiot when it came to social interaction, sure, but even he could hear the layer of ice backing up Lincoln’s words. The biting words didn’t fit right coming out of her mouth, he realized, and paired with the roll of her eyes, it was clear enough that she was irritated. At what, however, he couldn’t quite piece together, and he didn’t care to ask. She hadn’t been like this the last time he saw her, after all, when they talked about the events of the party. He paused, cocking his head to one side as he thought, the action so minute it was nearly unrecognizable. “Okay.” He drew the word out, long enough to fill the air between them with static. His voice was devoid of any emotion, save for perhaps blatant confusion. He nodded once, cutting off the sound, and dug his phone out of his pocket to briefly turn his attention to instead, a poor attempt at appearing distracted. “I’ll keep it in mind.”

Lincoln furrowed her eyebrows slightly, Benji’s confusion about why she might be upset only furthering her annoyance. She waited for a moment, crossing her arms while she watched him focus in on his phone instead of her, wondering if he would at least try to say something more to her. When he didn’t though, she just shook her head. “Good luck with press today,” she told him despite herself before turning on her heel and walking away. 

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

“Touche,” Moony hummed. He watched Lincoln’s reaction to what he had admitted, licking his lips slightly. He knew the two were friends, well not friends, but they seemed to have some sort of connection and he didn’t want to upset her… which he seemed he had. “No… we were just drunk. I don’t even know how I feel about guys.”

Lincoln stayed quiet for a moment, considering Moony’s words. “Oh,” she said again, familiar at least with the general concept of Benji’s increase in friendliness when he had been drinking, though she’d never actually known anyone who had hooked up with him, at least that she was aware of. “Well, for the record, if you do like guys, I’m in full support,” she told him, wanting to reassure that wasn’t the part of his confession that had unsettled her. “But you’d probably be better off liking guys who aren’t Benji.” She didn’t mean to be harsh, but she couldn’t help but say it. 

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

“I mean he was struggling with quite a lot,” Moony pointed out. He glanced down at his chest at her comment, having temporarily forgotten they were there. Shaking his head, he ran his fingers through his hair to fix it. “It was Benji…” He admitted, closing his eyes slightly in embarrassment.

“He tried to leave her when she was pregnant,” Lincoln replied, stating the fact quite simply. The girl couldn’t help but smile slightly at Moony’s embarrassment, though it faded slightly at the mention of Benji. “Oh,” she said softly, trying not to let her distaste show. “Are you two...?” she trailed off, not sure what she was asking exactly. 

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

Moony shrugged it off. He knew his childhood was different, but he never really felt like he was missing out on anything. Plus he found Harry Potter on his own, so he couldn’t be mad at his parents. “If you were Tonks we could have been in love,” He hummed, playfully wiggling his eyebrows at her. Finding his shirt, he took off the one he was already wearing, forgetting about the hickies on his chest that had not been covered up with makeup, and pulling the new shirt on. 

Lincoln leaned back on her hands while the boy changed. “I never really liked them as a couple. It felt like she had to beg him to be with her,” she started to explain, but stopped short when he took his shirt off. “Also if we were in love I’d be required to ask you who it was that tried to turn you into one giant hickey,” she teased. 

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

“I don’t think they’ve even seen the movies,” Moony shrugged. He couldn’t help but laugh at Lincoln’s reaction, grinning down at the girl. “Fine you can be James, but your side character is a pygmy puff.” When they got to his room, he unlocked his door and led Lincoln inside before starting to look for his shirt.

“That makes me sad,” Lincoln told the boy, frowning softly. “My dad read me the books when I was little,” she explained, following Moony into the room and wandering over to the bed, sitting down while she waited for Moony to look for his shirt. “I will accept that compromise,” Lincoln agreed with a little nod. “I’m a Hufflepuff so I probably should have claimed Tonks instead, but if you’re a Marauder I wanna be a Marauder too.” 

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

Moony led the way back to his hotel room, his arm still around Lincoln’s shoulder as they walked. “You know, my parents literally know nothing about Harry Potter,” he told with a small laugh. “But if I’m Moony, you’re definitely a pygmy puff.”

Lincoln looked up at Moony’s statement. “They don’t?” she questioned sadly. She rolled her eyes at his next statement. “You’re way too rude to be Moony,” she decided, elbowing him softly in the side. “I wanna be James.” 

[lifeoflinc]

moony-rayne​:

“Always,” Moony laughed. There was something about Lincoln that made it absolutely impossible to stay upset, no matter the thoughts that were racing through his head. Glancing down at her sweater, he smiled. “I have a Deathly Hallows shirt in my room, should I go get it?”

“Yes, let’s go get that,” Lincoln agreed, immediately beginning to walk back in the direction of his room, assuming he would follow quickly. “Wait, so, if you’re Moony who does that make me?” she questioned.
