On My Own

Daisy Grace Hookum, arist and traveller, 18 and sooo done with school

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

A gentleman doesn’t shag and tell. It was… really brilliant though. Basically amazing.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Ever the gentleman but I am happy for you. 

[xenoforthenargles]

The fire place is a bit too small and chokes out the flames it makes itself, so the logs need to be kept burning rather than as coals. [shakes his head] As long as I’m allowed to keep setting things up to get him out of here, it’s fine.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Interesting. So in their natural habitat they would have more space to burn? [nods] No stay in motion please...so I can capture that. 

[thatonegudgeon-blog]

I wouldn’t call it just. It’s been nearly two weeks. [pauses] Two weeks sounds right. Besides, I bet it could only get worse if I were to fly into the Willow.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Two weeks isn't long time. You were almost dead in most of the accounts I heard. [laughs a little] Don't fly into the Willow. Why don't we go for a walk instead...outdoors, but feet on the ground.

[walking through the corridors with an extra spring in his step and smiling happily at everyone he passes]

Wonderful day, isn’t it? 

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

What's got you in a cheery mood Bones?

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

Yeah and I already know how dumb you think she is. Alright. So I’ve just got to trust the girl I’m in love with… something tells me that that’s common sense. Maybe not easy but definitely common sense.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Common sense is the least common of the senses. 

So how was it? Your first time??

[xenoforthenargles]

Primarily worrying about returning it to where it belongs. [shrugs] I think it suits him.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Have you been able to observe anything about him while you've had him? Also do you mind that I sketched you and Glen together? 

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

Fuck that I know love hurts okay? I know it wrecks you, I’ve read the sonnets. I just… don’t want things to end. That’s what I mean. I don’t want things to end between us and I’m really scared that’s what she’s going to do.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

She's not going to...you're the most real thing she has. If she does then she's dumber than I think she is. 

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

Use words Daisy, I’m too high to interpret your looks.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Dude...she's going to break your heart. Possibly ever fucking day. That's what love does. It breaks and remakes you. 

[thatonegudgeon-blog]

Maybe a bit, yeah. On the mend and all that, but I’ve got to get back out here eventually.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Yeah, but if you were just in the hospital wing...you have time. No sense in rushing things and ending up worse than before. 

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

You’re right. I just don’t want to be hurt. I’ve never had my heart broken before, well, not really. But I don’t want to experience that.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

Alright… it is funny. But it also really hurt my feelings too. I want to be so much more than just a roll in the sack for her. And I know I am. She’s just too stubborn to admit it.

If she wanted, I’d propose tomorrow. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, I want to build my life with her.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

You know you mean more to her. You want to live your life with her. You need to trust her. 

[xenoforthenargles]

I’m glad you’re enjoying it so much. [grins] I’m leaning towards Glenn.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Aren't you enjoying? And Glenn? Why?

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

Stop, it’s not funny. [He tries to hide a smile] But… if I wait… what if she doesn’t work for me? What if she, what if she only wants me because I’m easy, because I’m willing to work for her? What if I wait and she takes it as a sign that I don’t want her? I don’t trust her to come back to me. I don’t really have a reason to.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

It's hysterical and you know it. As for Andromeda...Ted...how much do you love her?

[pippa-parkinson-deactivated2019]

I don’t see what the big deal is… If it is that important to you, perhaps you shouldn’t have left it lying around.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Perhaps you shouldn't be so nosy into things that are yours.

[xenoforthenargles]

[bursts out of the Ravenclaw common room, more than a little charred and immediately sets on his way to get a few supplies to remove the fire salamander currently residing, and hopefully content to stay until he returns, in their fireplace] I should have been prepared for this.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

[Looks up from her corner where she's been reading and observing Xeno for the past little while] Maybe so, but it's entertaining to watch you. Have you named it yet?

[thatonegudgeon-blog]

[pauses just inside the entrance to the quidditch pitch, broom tucked against his shoulder, nodding decisively to himself before walking onto the field]

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

[Sees his walking to the Quidditch pitch and runs after him. Once they're side by side she says.] And here I heard a rumor you we half dead...but surely you are un injured or you wouldn't be attemting what you are attempting.

[tedtonks-uf-deactivated20150103]

Eeeeehhh, what even counts as virginity really? Carrie and I got close but it didn’t feel right… because I kept thinking about Andromeda. How pathetic is that?

And I think I’m going to see if she can make the first move this time. I’m still mad at her. She called me her whore. And I know I sort of am but she didn’t have to be so honest about it.

[paintstaindaisy-blog]

Not pathetic. You have been in love with her for a long time. I hear it's hard to fall out of love. And ...Ted...[starts to giggle and full out laugh] Whore? Really? I didn't realize she knew that kind of word. And love, you're not that. She's not married to Vincent and she didn't pick to be connected to him. And wait for her this time...she should have to work to keep you.
