and it’s too late anyway. by the time he looks up, eric and daniel are right in front of him, and all elijah can manage is a stammered out, “shiiiiiiiiiiit,” followed by an ever-so-graceful, “haha, uh. what’s gucci, sons.”
( ✂ )
“what’s up, sexy,” he giggles in return, reaching up to ruffle elijah’s hair. no kisses, yet. “you look hot—and not in the usual way, i mean you’re sweating like crazy.”
eric kang is touching him .
sure , he’s had his hand held before , who hasn’t at this point whether it be your mother , father , or significant other doing the holding . it’s INNOCENT , or so he tells himself , no need to get riled up . no , it’s not the act that immediately has him staring down at their interlocked fingers , but more so the person — ERIC KANG.
jesus , this is weird .
ignoring the way his heart speeds up in his chest ( or the fact it’s been pretty fast since he drowned that orange drink ) , he chooses to push away the Unmentionable thoughts and instead focus on the fact elijah just called them sons . he raises a brow , a tiny giggle escaping past his lips despite his ( minor ) attempt at worry , head cocking to the side in question . “ as much as it pains me to say this , kang’s right , bro . you look smokin’ . ” at that he giggles again , head bopping up and down in a nod at the words , eyes creasing in amusement .
“ where’s the rest of the gang ?? i thought the bear gang was a group date , i didn’t get to show them my costume yet . ” he looks around for a minute animatedly , bouncing in his spot slightly as eyes roamed for a sight of either sunday or kyu with no such luck . “ aw , did they ditch you ?? not cool , man . ” he pouts on behalf of his best bud , reaching up to pinch elijah’s cheek in an exaggerated show of pity . ew , sweaty . “ maybe we should stick around , kang . ”
he lost eric . don’t ask him how because merlin knows he’s been fairly observant of his surroundings and it HAD to be the other boy’s fault he was stuck awkwardly half-bouncing to the music with clement zhao of all people , unable to stand still long enough without a goal in mind . ( no , not really , it was completely his own fault ) .
“ hey , ” he starts off lamely , mouth opening to say more until he realizes his mind is pretty empty , lips pursing almost immediately after . he bops his head to the beat and looks around the room , eyes washing over a scene he’s not really taking in . clement . . . well , he’s seen daniel at some of his worst , stuttering and stumbling , embarrassment flushing hot in his body because there’s something about the other that invokes his worst senses , a force keen on making him mortified and forced to scurry off and take note that clement zhao was TO BE AVOIDED and AT ALL COSTS . yet , despite himself and all the warning bells going off in his head , the moment his eyes turn back to his new companion at his side , his gaze zooms almost immediately to the dreaded spot .
his ears .
he swallows quietly , wills himself to move in any direction , to find eric or something as equally distracting because dear GOD , he’s gonna do it — he’s gonna do it and never look the other in the face again , and — oh . too late .
the realization more or less settles in after he’s already pinching the other’s ears , the whole moment almost anti-climatic . he should probably let go , or at least try to phrase the humiliation that should be running through his veins at that very moment . INSTEAD , instead he stays in his spot , nodding slowly as if in thought . “ i’ve always wanted to do that . ” he smiles . “ so cute . ”
he’s gonna hate himself in the morning . ( @psikey )
blimey!! a bit late aren’t you? i think the giggle water in the ORANGE goblet seems a little sour, doesn’t it?? looks like the mild EUPHORIA potion has ripened into something else entirely, seems like it’s IMPOSSIBLE TO STAY STILL entirely now. better keep moving for the rest of the night if you don’t want to doom yourself!! poor thing.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING this weekend?” spoken, unceremoniously so, the question is followed by the presence of the girl in question, bright eyed and eager—with a toothy grin to boot. “eli and i were planning on doing our costume shopping on saturday and then we can pop honeydukes so he can ogle—” eyeroll. “the girl that works there and i can stock up on candy—you know how i’m tutoring those fifth years right? i’m starting to run out of things to distract them with when they ask me for you and eli’s numbers.” sunday snorts, reaching over to pluck a a piece of bacon from the boy’s plate. early morning, however, it might only be her with this much energy.
“so what time is good for you? oh! i need you to help me convince eli to do something not lame too—i don’t know why he’s suddenly so obsessed with carrots.” more eye-rolls. “morning, by the way.”
* SEE , the thing is daniel loves sunday — loves her almost as much as he does elijah , and is definitely on par with kyu , which means he would lay down his 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 if it meant something for the girl . that being said , he’s also a teeny bit afraid of the other , especially right now as he halts mid-chew of his toast and swallows it dry . “ shopping ? yeah sure , sounds neat . ” never thought he’d be saying those words . he realizes the irony of his food choice at the same time the thought pops into his head that he had ( conveniently ) forgotten to inform his awesome . . . 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 group of friends he had forgone the three to instead match with his partner headgirl in the name of a humorous muggle franchise — safe to say soon he’d be toast .
daniel shifts his gaze down towards his plate . “ there’s just one , tiny , very minor issue , and you have to PROMISE not to get mad , alright ! ” he takes in a deep breath , before cuing up an innocent smile . “ slight change of usual plans . . . as in i can’t match with y’all this year . i made . . . other plans . ”
he just loves messing with daniel. mr perfect head boy, can-do-no-wrong, upholder of justice, and his little plaything—well, that’s mostly in his head, but where there’s smoke, there’s fire. it’s not like the gryffindor’s done anything to prove otherwise, and in fact, if egos weren’t an issue eric would even dare to say daniel liked being messed with. maybe someone has a masochistic streak.
with that thought in mind, he lets himself be pushed backwards, back pressed flush against the wall behind him as the head boy corners him (which was just unnecessary since eric would never run from a chance to rile daniel up to begin with).
“oh? is that all you wanted to talk about?” he feigns disappointment, letting his lower lip jut out in a pout. “you should be used to me cheating by now. talk about unadaptable,” his voice comes out mockingly, putting on the smirk he knows daniel despises. “nice glasses by the way, seo. they’re cute. like you.”
* ANNOYING ANNOYING ANNOYING ; GOD , he’s annoying as shit , a repetitive statement that sums up just what he thinks of eric kang , how he’s felt since the day they first exchanged words . or at least so he tells himself as a habitual flush creeps across his neck , crawling up towards his cheeks , and he’s suddenly a little more aware of the distance between them — or more the lack thereof . as reluctant as he feels towards the whole concept , he can’t deny eric has a talent — he makes daniel feel something he didn’t know he craved .
it’s sickening .
“ shut up , ” he grumbles , fairly more conscious of his glasses after the mention and adjusting them where they sit . he wills the warmth spreading in his body away , an unsettling emotion crawling in the pit of his stomach at the ( faux , he’s sure ) compliment , before sniffing deprecatingly . “ and stop trying to distract me ! the point isn’t getting used to you being a cheater , it’s you needing to stop . it won’t always be me cornering you for an answer , dude . teachers won’t be so . . . FORGIVING . ”

"hey danny," eric finds the head boy on his way out of the classroom, grabbing onto his hand with a tenderness any outsider would assume as affection—but it's just another way of pissing the gryffindor off. "you heard about the party right? what say you come as my date?" a cheshire grin spreads onto his lips. "bet you couldn't even pretend for a night."
HIS INSTINCTS TELL HIM TO JOLT and pull away , yet the unfettered need to refuse eric the reaction he so craves stubbornly overrules his rationale . the thought alone powers him in stay in place , teeth grit in annoyance , painfully aware of lingering stares from the student population around them . he’s positive the other did it on purpose , popping the question in plain sight , public for the crowds to see , and a voice at the back of his head reminds him to keep his cool — he’s 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐁𝐎𝐘 now . yeah , COOL , he can stay calm , of course he can .
THE DENIAL SITS READY on his lips almost instantaneously , scoff building because in what world —— yet the challenge , however , has him perking up almost curiously . this . . . game between them , dare after dare , challenges one after the other , an unnamed tension stifling in the air between them , it practically sings within his bloodstream , a never ending desire to wipe the grin right off the other’s face and prove SOMETHING ( even if he doesn’t know exactly what ) he should’ve pulled his hand away long ago ; instead he mirrors eric’s grin with one of his own , eyes narrowing simultaneously . “ yeah , alright , why not — you’re on , kang . ”
* MAYBE IT’S A LITTLE IRRATIONAL how quickly the other can push his buttons , but there’s something about eric kang , something that ticks him right off. there’s a spark of pride that ignites within daniel at the concept of being pretty well-liked by his peers ( maybe others would call it desperation for 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ) but there’s also that hint of ugly that makes itself welcome at the mere sight of a face so integrated with his everyday routine now , he’s almost ashamed to admit he likes his interactions with the slytherin boy. 𝐆𝐎𝐃 , the thought alone is enough to have him frowning — which is exactly what he does once he finds what he’s looking for.
“ hey ! ” he practically leaps across the space between them until he’s cornered the other in an area almost empty as students rush to classes. his eyes narrow behind his glass frames ( no time for contacts today ) . “ a little birdy told me you were cheating … again. it’s like you want detention , kang. ” cue his typical pose of disappointment , consisting of arms sitting crossed against his chest.
* ok so this is gonna be a mess , but hello this is my SON daniel seo , 7th year gryffindor who has a penchant for doing the right thing ( or so he thinks ) . i’m working on a bunch of midterm assignments right now so i unfortunately don’t have any pages up , but i shall be listing some info below . feel free to like this post if you’d like to plot !
headboy , he can be a stickler for the rules and enforcing them , but tbh he can be pretty lenient if you have a good excuse . . . plus he’d be a hypocrite considering his tendency for breaking them when he thinks he’s doing the right thing
this paired with the fact he’s a top student in terms of grades ( and the reading glasses he has on from time to time ) people get the impression he’s somewhat of a nerd
which isn’t all that wrong really LOL he’ll tutor if u ask nicely
he’s also really athletic , has basically done sports his whole life , really into quidditch and is the team seeker ! he aims to go pro after he’s done with school but isn’t quite that confident in himself yet
hates not having smth to do so he’ll basically busy himself w anything he can and overcommits to things
basically doesn’t sleep , is gonna crash n BURN someday
background : half-blood , mom is a wizard who works in the ministry , comes from a well-respected pureblood family who were frankly annoyed when she married his dad , dad muggle scientist who was just rly in Love with his wife and never really stopped despite everything , parents got divorced shortly after he was born and he spent most of his time with his dad after they moved to the states
was always aware of the magic side of his family since his dad’s a bad liar , so getting into hogwarts was somewhat of an expectation altho he dreaded leaving his absent-minded dad behind but he sees his mom more than he used to so that’s a perk .
personality : if you challenge him , it basically impossible for him to say no , competitive as heck !! most of which you’ll probably see on the pitch since he takes it all a little too seriously
likes to laugh , is LOUD , laughs even when he’s hella nervous
on that note , tends to get nervous often although he tries to hide it , can be a worry wart esp when it comes to people he cares about
doesn’t like being alone so catch him sticking to his friends group whenever possible
can be an unintentional flirt at times . . . and by unintentional i mean he knows he’s doing it and hopes it’s working
“u think i’m cute?” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
tbh he’s a wip , will be figuring him out as i go :D
plots : FRIENDS !!!! he’s not the type to judge / indulge in house competition outside quidditch matches
a best friend he’s been close to practically the whole time he’s been here
a mentor . . . someone he’s looked up to for w.e reason
peers he helps out by tutoring
an ex who it basically didn’t work out with . . . he still doesn’t really understand why the breakup happened and maybe feelings linger a little
maybe a half/step sibling . . . on his mom’s side ?
someone who’s had it out for him since day ONE , you just think he’s really annoying with that wide eyed lost look on his face that never rly goes away , or y’know , with that annoying loud laugh of his
an ex conquest . . . he kinda led you on and then dropped it without another word and you don’t understand where things went wrong , but he just . . . moved on LOL
