Penelope Shingleton

Come on Poppy, don't be like that!

Her words made his entire body tense for a moment. Was he really the best option for her? Because he was sure Penelope’s life would have been easier if he hadn’t butted in with his romantic ideas and his reckless kisses. Suddenly he felt extremely selfish. He adored spending time with her. The girl made him feel wonderful. However, he had nothing to lose by being with her; but she did. She was defying her entire family, the traditions her parents lived for. She was doing it for him and holding onto her wasn’t the noblest thing to do. “You’re too kind.” He chuckled. “I’m not that special. I mean, people say I’m a keeper and I can’t really deny that, but I’m not that big of a deal.” He laughed at his own joke, his eyes never leaving hers.

He felt a sharp pain when she tightened the hug and close his eyes firmly, pressing his lips together to stop any reproach from escaping his lips. Nonetheless, Fabian exhaled a relieved breath once she let go. “It was totally worth it. You don’t have to be sorry about it.” He shrugged. “Apparently I’m not as healthy as I thought I was; which means I won’t be able to leave very soon. Bollocks.”

#oh I believe I never answered to the proposal of Sophia finding out #but that would be perfect #cause all that I can offer is Rodolphus but I don't think he would even bother telling something like this to Barty #:')#para #p:fabian

She felt his body tensing and for a moment she frighteningly wondered whether she had said those things out loud. Surely she had not. Perhaps it was because his body was in too much pain, she figured. "Probably not," she replied jokingly. "But I'll keep you anyway."

Penelope could tell from Fabian's face that she had indeed caused him too much pain by hugging him as soon as she released him from the hug. "You really ought to listen better to Madam Pomfrey. She'll get you out of here in no time," Penelope said hopefully. "Naturally I will keep you company as long as you're here." She shifted uncomfortable back and forth on the bed. "Well then, I suppose it is time for bed then." And with that said she moved once more forward to gently caress the side of his face whilst placing her lips on his for one last brief kiss. "I'll be right over there if you need anything... I mean it, anything at all."

Come on Poppy, don't be like that!

Fabian smiled. It was nice to have someone saying the things Penelope was telling him right then. A couple of girls had liked him before, but none of them with such sweetness. He felt completely unworthy of it. “I’m so glad you feel that way.” He said, moving forward and resting his forehead against hers in an affectionate gesture. “I still want to be the best I can be for you, you know? And that includes treating you like you deserve… even if you don’t mind. I do.” He finally stated. He would never forgive himself if he made her feel less than wonderful.

"You don’t need to thank me." He pulled her into a soft hug, trying not to wince when his ribs started aching again. Fabian wasn’t that experienced when it came to sex. He had been very close to do it, but he had never gone all the way. Not because he didn’t feel ready, but mainly because the situation had never been appropriate. He didn’t feel the need to rush into anything. He didn’t want to have to do a walk of shame after his first time. Perhaps, that was also a way of differentiating from his brother. He didn’t mind to wait for Penelope, because he was sure she was absolutely worth it.

Penelope felt her cheeks heating up once again; even though basically every word that escaped Fabian's lips was worthy of coming straight from a poem or novel, she still couldn't get used to it. From the first moment she had laid eyes on him she believed to have seen something familiar in his eyes, a glint of hope and now those eyes were only inches away from hers as he rested his forehead against her own. "You're already more than I ever hoped for." And probably ever will, she thought sourly. The happier Fabian made her feel, the gloomier her future with Bartemius became. Perhaps that was why she had started to hate him so intensely. Not only did she feel like he had robbed her of her future, he had also become a constant burden in her presence.

Penelope drew closer into his hug as she tried to free herself of the thoughts of Bartemius. In his tight embrace she felt safer than she had felt for a long long time. Only after a few moments she came to the realization that they were sitting in a hospital bed, his hospital bed. She was probably making things worse by hugging him so tightly. "Oh I'm sorry," she murmured as she carefully let go of him.

Can you shut up for two seconds?

To put it simply, I just want you to hush.

Oh.. okay..

#c:severus #convo

Come on Poppy, don't be like that!

The circumstances also count. We’re in the hospital wing, it’s rather bizarre. You deserve much better than that.

I know. You don’t have to worry. I can wait if as long as you need to wait if you even want to do that with me in the future. That’s not… that’s not what I’m thinking about when I’m with you.

#yesssss!#awesome idea!#soooo who is going to find out??#c:fabian #convo

"Like I said before.." Penelope paused for a brief moment. "I know it sounds.. stupid, but.. I don't care as long as I am with you." Penelope would have never imagined that she would ever be saying something as soppy as that. She had always considered herself to be a realist; both feet firmly on the ground, however lately she'd been feeling like she was walking, no, hovering around with her head inside a cloud. "When I am with you I am barely aware of my surroundings," Penelope bluntly admitted.

His comforting words made her lips curl up into a careful smile. It wasn't so much that she wasn't "ready" for doing.. well.. it. It was more that it felt like a serious commitment to her. Not only had she ever even thought about anyone the way she felt about Fabian and she was quite frankly really scared to fall deeper into what seemed to be a neverending space. It would also mean that she was officially undermining her parents wishes in every single way. Their kisses had seemed considerably innocent comparing to having actual intercourse. "Thank you," she whispered, finally meeting his gaze again.

Come on Poppy, don't be like that!

Don’t worry. I would never intend something like that to happen. I mean, not here, under this circumstances.

#TWO THINGS #no three #first of all; THEY ARE SO CUTE #ok #second: I know that you're busy right now but I thought that perhaps we could start a mini para for them?#and thirdly #maybe also soon we could add some more drama when Bartemius finds out about the two of them or something? :)#because they can't go on forever unnoticed.#c:fabian #convo

(Glares back to check if Poppy is still lurking in the door opening, continues as soon as it is confirmed she's not) It's not so much the circumstances, as well as the fact that you need rest so your body can heal properly.

(Avoids his eyes as she continues) Also I am not entirely sure.. if I am ready for that sort of thing yet...

No one is going to be obedient in marriage, tell him to get a pet or something. I don’t know if it will make it any better, but if there’s a chance it could make things better then you should try it.

Alright then. So we both have a mission. You will find a way to apologize to Lucinda, while I will stand up for myself with Barty.

#c:rabastan #convo

Come on Poppy, don't be like that!

(He snorts) Because you’ll spend the night here and at some point she’ll go to sleep and… you know. (He wiggles his eyebrows jokingly)

#awkwardddd haha #c:fabian #convo

And what...? (Suddenly her eyes widen and she colors up) Oh.. I see.

Can you shut up for two seconds?

Well don’t get all polite with me. It’s disgusting, really, makes me feel like I should be the one apologizing.

I... I'm sorry.. I mean.. I'm confused now.. you don't want me to apologize?

As much as I would love to take that moron off of your hands, I don’t think me marrying him is an option. If I could I would, not that he would be very pleased with the situation. I think you should let him know that you’re not about to be bossed around and threatened for the rest of your life, not like he could get any worse from the sounds of it.

#Pennnn is gonna get killeddddd #woot #c:rabastan #convo

How unfortunate. From the way he behaved I'd say he does not really care for who he will marry as long as the person will be obedient. Perhaps you're right... I should tell him exactly what I think about him!

Come on Poppy, don't be like that!

(He takes her hand and smiles at Madame Pomfrey who’s flashing them a warning look) Don’t worry Poppy, we’re not going to do anything illegal here. (He turns to Penelope) I think she’s worried.

#No worries!! :)#c:fabian #convo #oh you naive little penelope

Worried? Why would she be worried?

reptilianrabastan

I hate this guy. No, no it’s alright. I’m glad you told me. You shouldn’t have to be afraid of him. He’s your fiancee, that’s not how he should be treating you, even if it is an arranged marriage. There has to be something wrong with him. Is there anything I can do?

#c:rabastan #convo #our poor babies #they mean well #but only get into trouble

Unless you are willing to marry him instead, I am afraid there is not much you can do. But thank you so much for your offer anyway. I know... I always knew that my parents were planning on marrying me off, however I never imagined that I would have to spend the rest of my days with someone I absolutely despise..

Come on Poppy, don't be like that!

Considering he’s keeping me prisoner here… it’s the last thing she can do!

#c:fabian #convo #and penelope is a happy turtle

Great! That's settled then. I wouldn't like spending the night on my own in a nearly deserted hospital wing either.

But you're a king and I'm a lionheart.

Do you really have to leave?
