( ; she nodded, her hand gently caressed his head in a comforting way. she hoped that he can indeed trust her and come to her if he ever needed someone to talk to. for many years, there were few people she could turn to and she had been miserable. nowadays, she opened up rather easily, which had its pros and cons. on most occasions, she had been lucky, finding people who cared for her. other times, she found that the other person was only out to harm or use her ) - ( ; hearing his next words, she was at a loss for words. what more could she really say? the past was the past, but even if she told him not to go back to that, she knew he would. love was addicting. a drug. it was dangerous and yet it could be beautiful. she had experienced it herself, not in a way that he did, but in a way that she would treasure forever and she hoped he would find that same happiness that she had once found ) just —- ( ; she paused ) if you do go back to him … ( ; then what? tell her? so she could give him a slap on the cheek? that wasn’t going to solve any problems ) i mean, i just … ( ; the words weren’t coming out of her mouth and she hated this feeling ) i’m just worried for you is all. ( ; she finally admitted when she had no idea what she was trying to say )

{` that light caressing touch coaxes him into a state of relaxation, a rare feat when hongki is almost always on edge around others. leaning his body more into hers, even snaking his arms down to wrap around her waist, he breathes out a quiet sigh and gives her a squeeze, keeping her held close against him like a child seeking comfort from their mother. usually, hongki felt protective of yura as she was younger and so small and sweet, but in this moment he allows himself to be the vulnerable one, feeling too raw after discussing such an emotional subject. hongki had been in love before, or what he thought was love, but jaejoong was his first time feeling it so deeply, and it's yet to go away. he's not sure it ever will. even after months now, he still feels an aching emptiness in his chest when he thinks about the older boy, or when their gazes meet for those brief moments across the slytherin common room before one of them takes their leave to avoid the other. it hurts, and it probably will always hurt} I don't think... he'd ever want me back. {` he confesses softly, though he understands what yura is saying; she's worried he'll intentionally put himself in an unhealthy relationship again. and the truth is, he would if given the chance, which is why he can only smile sadly and tilt his head to press a light kiss to her forehead} I-I'll be okay, don't worry... {` pulling back again, he meets her gaze, actually managing the eye contact he usually hates making with others, and gives a small nod} I promise.

❝ creepy crawlies ▬ jongdae + hongki

<sub[‘though Jongdae found the older boy mildly intriguing, if only because he was so painfully quiet he wanted to know what secrets he was keeping to himself, he had never tried getting too close to Hongki. Only occasionally had a polite conversation here and there with the other Slytherin. For those moments his company was pleasing, and the younger’s discomfort slipped away to give room for amusement as the blond gestured with his hands while talking about the movement of the spiders] I don’t think I got it…Why don’t you try showing me? [‘he chuckled, letting the squirming cat jump off of his arms to go groom his ruffled fur] I suppose I’ll have to take your word for it, no?

#sly:jongdae #slyjongdae #;s:creepy #;script

{` most would find it strange that hongki and jongdae had shared a room for years now but still were just barely more than strangers, but it wasn't all that weird to the older slytherin. most people didn't go out of their way to get to know him, so he was rather used to it. the younger was nice when they spoke to each other, and that was more than enough for him, as quite a few slytherins weren't even that. blinking as the boy requested he be shown, hongki glanced towards the jar again where the spiders were inside, some creating the quiet buzzing noise, though jongdae clearly wanted a more visible examples. so, standing up, he let out a somewhat sheepish laugh} They... they, uh, vibrate their torsos like this... {` he started to shake his body in his best attempt to mimic the spiders' gestures, biting his lip to stifle more embarrassed laughter at his own expense} A-And when they do it against leaves, or like the glass on the jar, it makes the sound...

feeding the thestrals;;

"They looks like skeleton horses," Jinki explained as if that was normal knowledge, but to him, he knew what a thestral was since he was a young age. His parents loved the creatures, though, neither of them were ever able to see them. His mother nor father ever witnessed someone dying in front of them. Jinki saw so many of his peers die that day when Voldemort attacked the school. The thought made Jinki pause for a moment as the flashbacks came back. He nearly dropped the bucket, but Hongki’s soft comment brought him back to reality.

His eyes went to Hongki, watching as the boy seemed to get closer to one of the thestrals. He shouldn’t be allowing the young boy so close to the creature, but they were gentle and it was obvious to them that Hongki meant them no harm and he could see them as well. That was already a good thing to the thestrals, “Go ahead. They do bite, but I’m the one with their dinner.”

Jinki stood there for a moment, a small smile on his face. Hongki seemed confused by the fact he could see the thestrals and it made him wonder what Hongki may have witnessed. The boy seemed to have no knowledge of it either. He could see, but was still blind. It made Jinki think a bit.

He shook his head and sat the bucket down to the ground, He got his want and held it out to the dead animals before one rose from the bucket, “Who is first?” He chimed out before tossing the animal, watching as several of the thestrals chased after it.

#prof:jinki #profjinki #;p:thestrals #;para

When given the go-ahead to touch one of the thestrals, Hongki reached out further until he made contact, lightly petting the large horse-like creature. His brows remained furrowed, however, positively wracking his brain for some sort of memory to explain why he could see these fascinating creatures, but he drew a complete blank. Perhaps it was something from his childhood he couldn't remember? It was possible, of course, it was simply that not knowing bothered him quite a bit. Witnessing a death was a rather serious matter, yet he had no memory of it.

Still, the thestrals were amazing, and he found himself smiling slightly as the one he was petting turned its head and nuzzled against his hand. Bringing up his free hand, he stroked its muzzle the way one would caress a horse, though the rock-hard feel of bone under his fingertips certainly did not feel like a living animal. They were even more interesting in person than what he'd read, and in spite of his confusion, he was grateful for this experience.

His hand withdrew quickly as the thestral took off, chasing the food that Professor Jinki had thrown, a soft laugh escaping his lips as he watched them all racing each other to get to it first. Taking a few steps back, he glanced towards the older male, tipping his head to one side and asking in his usual timid manner, "I can... I can feed them too, right?" He had been warned about being careful, which he assumed meant he would be allowed, were he cautious about what he was doing.

Drawing his wand, he pointed it at the bucket, one of the dead animals inside rising out. Moving his arm slowly, wand held high, he let it hover over the ground and move closer to the thestrals. Waiting until he had their attention, he flicked his wrist and threw the piece of meat in their direction, his smile returning as they once again gave chase.

( ; yura shook her head, holding onto his hand even tighter ) no, you have me. ( ; she looked up at him sadly. of course, that was a little different, but hopefully, that meant something ) yah! ( ; she was about to sit up straight but he was still holding onto her so she stayed in place ) don’t say that! you don’t know what your future holds. if it’s still the same in forty years, then i’ll allow you to come to me then and tell me ‘i told you so’. ( ; as he began to recount his stories of this jaejoong male, she frowned even more. if she were in a cartoon, there would be smoke puffing out of her ears ) that’s … ( ; she tightened her fists in anger ) how is that allowed? how can you let him control you like that? ( ; but she knew the answer before he said it. love made people do crazy things, and she wouldn’t have anything that she could offer that would make him act differently towards the other ) i just don’t think that’s right… ( ; she noted softly, looking up at him with sad eyes )

{` he glances down to their joined hands as she gives a squeeze, hesitating at her words and slowly lifting his gaze again to look into those sad eyes of hers. his heart aches slightly at her expression, though an unfamiliar feeling fills him as he processes what she said. he has her. he's not alone, he has someone. maybe not in the way he was discussing, but having anyone at all was rare for him. he's spent so long in solitude, feeling like an outcast, that having someone care about him is a hard concept to grasp. but he has yura} Th-Thank you... {` he whispers shakily, closing his eyes and nuzzling his face into her hair, pressing closer still. he doesn't respond to her scolding, because he knows she's too optimistic to see the harsh reality like he does, but he chooses to let her believe that he won't be alone forever-- at least one of them should think positively about him} I-I told you, I'm in love... {` he murmurs, trying to defend his past relationship with jaejoong. he knows it was toxic, he knew at the time, but it doesn't stop him from missing the older slytherin everyday. he would return to their arrangement in a heartbeat if he could} Jaejoong... Jaejoong doesn't love people. He uses them. H-He's controlling and incapable of most emotions. I knew this, and I knew what our relationship would be, but I chose to stay.

❝ creepy crawlies ▬ jongdae + hongki

[‘Jongdae frowned as he kept looking at the jar full of spiders. He really wished the other male wouldn’t keep the things in the room, but he’d hardly ever voiced the thought, opting to have the blond take them away whenever he happened to chance upon one of them. Finally glancing at HOngki when he sat down on the edge of his bed, the younger one tried to ignore the way in which the other traced around the glass]…..They’re creepy….They have too many eyes and too many legs. [‘Jongdae’s frown eased slightly as he sighed, taking a reluctant step closer as he stopped breathing for a moment so he could listen better]……I’d never noticed that. How do they do it?….What if one of them bites Roi and I don’t find out about it though?

#sly:jongdae #slyjongdae #;s:creepy #;script

{` in spite of the fact that they've been roommates for years, hongki and jongdae have never been close. it's not that they don't get along, they do, but hongki's tendency to distance himself from others has made it difficult for him to bond with anyone. and the spiders don't help. still, he seems mildly hurt that the other boy has such an aversion to his pets, the creatures honestly being like friends to him, though he notices when the younger male ventures closer to try and listen for the buzzing noises emanating from the jar} They, um, they vibrate their torsos against the surfaces they're standing on... {` he gestures a bit as he speaks, though the movement from the spiders is so subtle one can't really see without being up close} I-I don't think they'd bite Roi, and if they did, they're not venomous... at least not enough to cause harm.

❝ creepy crawlies ▬ jongdae + hongki

[‘Jongdae stepped gingerly over to his bed, picking up his cat and holding it protectively against his chest, running a hand through Roi’s long fur to make sure that none of the creepy, crawly things had gotten into it. Hearing the quiet whisper of a spell being cast, the younger of the two turned around, only to have a small shiver of disgust run down his back at the sight of the spiders crawling on the side of the jar] Hm? [‘the younger of the two did not dare take his eyes off the glass container, even when he heard Hongki say something to him. Even after all those years, he still hadn’t gotten used to the other boy’s…pets] I hope so…they like my bed a little too much….But thank you.

#sly:jongdae #slyjongdae #;s:creepy #;script

{` watching the other as he protectively holds his cat, quite the same way that hongki held his tarantula so lovingly before, the older of the two frowns slightly and fidgets his hands together in front of himself. he's fond of cats as well, he loves all animals really, but his fascination with spiders always earns him negative treatment from other students. the poor creatures are misunderstood, he feels, and perhaps that's why he can relate to them. taking a seat on the edge of his bed, careful not to squish the tarantula roaming about, he reaches a hand to lightly run his finger along the side of the jar where the smaller spiders are kept, watching them crawling around the glass for a moment before he remarks quietly} Sp-Spiders... spiders aren't bad, y-you know. There are some poisonous types, but these are harmless... th-they're buzzing spiders, if you listen close enough, they make a buzzing noise. And... they don't bite unless you provoke them...

a ray of sunshine ♚ hongki & yura

( ; yura had never really physically beaten anyone up; well, not to the point of any real physical harm being done, but sometimes, she could give a pretty darn good emotional beating though maybe people just pretended and really she failed at that too. she wanted to do something for hongki, but she just didn’t know what. she supposed that if he didn’t want her to do anything, then she should just be there for him and not try to make things happen on her own accord ) we’re still young… ( ; she whispered softly ) i doubt you’ll be alone forever. ( ; she looked up at him with a smile ) trust me. yura always knows best. ( ; she chuckled softly before her eyes widen at the mention of a name. a familiar name at that ) oh! ( ; she wasn’t sure if she should let the other know that she did know him, but decided now was not the right time ) that’s not fair though. why is he allowed to get upset with you when you’re with others? ( ; she pouted. gosh, some people just did things that didn’t make any sense )

{` as yura speaks again, he shakes his head slowly and brings a hand up, patting her head in a way that isn't as condescending as one would think; he meant the gesture to be completely affectionate and kind. while they're certainly friends, a rarity for hongki, she still doesn't know him well enough to really understand what he has been like since arriving at hogwarts. the outcast he became, the abuse he endured, the way he willingly isolates himself because he genuinely prefers to be left by himself} I've always been alone, Yura. {` he explains quietly, his voice soft and even without a trace of his usual stammer, almost sounding resigned} It's a feat that someone wanted me at any point, and it won't happen again. {` shaking his head, he pulls her closer, actually craving more of the affection she's been offering. it's been a long time since someone so much as hugged him, and after recovering from the initial discomfort he finds her presence soothing} Jaejoong and I... we had an interesting relationship. He sort of... sort of saw me as property. He slept with who he wanted, but no one was allowed to touch me. I was mostly a plaything. {` he smiles, wistful almost, as though his confession was a fond memory rather than a bitter reality} But I loved him, and I still do.

Naw man! [ –he lightly slaps Hongki’s other arm with a good-natured laugh as he begins to drag him to the direction of the hospital wing – his broom in one hand ] Look at you! There’s a fucking blood on your uniform, man! We gotta get you cleaned up! I don’t wanna have you infected cause of me! [ –without waiting for the other’s reply, he quickens his pace. he feels a bit bad that he has injured others even though it’s not that serious of a wound. and he’d want to make it up for it. ]

#huf:yoongi #hufyoongi #;s:honk #;script

{` his eyes go wide as he's suddenly dragged, but after stumbling a bit he quickly regains his footing and falls into step beside the hufflepuff, allowing himself to be pulled along in spite of his bewilderment} I-It's just a... a little scrape, I-I could fix it myself, really... {` still, the other is so persistent that he gives up on arguing and quickens his own pace to avoid being dragged again, his free hand lifting to rub the back of his neck awkwardly. at least he's no stranger to the hospital wing, so it won't be all that strange for him to show up there, though actually arriving wounded will be new considering he usually hangs around the area out of curiosity rather than illness or injury, liking to watch the matron at work due to his fascination with healing}

a ray of sunshine ♚ hongki & yura

( ; yura relaxed a bit once she heard the light laughter being emitted past his lips, his body shaking ever so slightly as a result. so it was a guy they were talking about. well, that would definitely make things difficult for her in terms of beating up. unless, of course, that person wouldn’t be one to hit a girl, but one could never be too sure with the boys of hogwarts ) i see… ( ; she simply nodded ) i guess i won’t be doing any beating… ( ; she rested her head on his shoulder and took his hand in hers ) maybe you need to find someone else to fix your attention on… ( ; she knew that wouldn’t necessarily be a solution, but perhaps it could help a little )

N-No, I'd... I'd really rather you didn't beat anyone. {` with another soft laugh, feeling a bit better now, he closes his eyes and goes still once more as her head leans on his shoulder, though with some hesitance he lets his own head rest atop hers again. giving a squeeze to her hand when his is taken, he replies with a thoughtful hum before lifting the shoulder she wasn't currently leaning on, half-shrugging} I-I don't... really see myself finding someone else... I'm better off on my own. {` he nods now, mostly to himself, then he adds with wry amusement} Be-Besides, Jaejoong still gets angry when he sees me with others, e-even though we haven't spoken... {` and now he's dropped the mystery lover's name, letting it fall from his lips without thinking much about it}

feeding the thestrals;;

Jinki smiled brightly at the boy, pleased that he was willing to join him to feed the animals. Since there were several of them, it was much easier having someone with him to keep them back. They could easily out power him and some got very fussy when they don’t get their food right away. He did care for the Thestrals, but they were all like princesses.

"Then do come along. And if you can see them, then you can feed them, but if you feed them, throw the food. Don’t hold it out if you can’t see them," Jinki warned with a frown, but soon enough, the smile was back on his face. He continued down the road into the forest, his eyes looking around to see if anything else was coming towards them. He had the issue with his hippogriff when it came charging at him for food. Hippogriffs and Thestrals did not get along very well since the hippogriff couldn’t see them.

His eyes went to the boy when he came over to him. He offered the boy a smile again as he continued on until they met the clearing, “Hello, everyone.” There were about five of them and they soon came over to him. He turned to Hongki and smiled, “Here they are. Callum, Nye, Lennon, Anwen and Tamsin. These are the five Thestrals that move the fifth years to the train every year.”

#prof:jinki #profjinki #;p:thestrals #;para

"Yes, sir," Hongki replied quietly, always one to use his best manners when around professors. He was respectful and sweet whenever possible, but especially so toward authority figures, as he never liked giving them a reason to believe he would cause trouble. He didn't much like being viewed as some delinquent; it was bad enough the other students believed something was wrong with him, he didn't want his professors keeping a constant watchful eye as though they were waiting for him to do something horrible. And, well, the fact he quite liked Professor Jinki was also plenty of reason to always remain well-behaved in the man's presence.

"What do... what do thestrals look like... exactly?" The question came before they had actually reached their destination, curiosity getting the better of him. He had read plenty about them, yes, but without actually seeing one, in person or in photograph, he had no real idea what the creatures resembled. He imagined large horse-like beasts, judging by the description in textbooks, but nothing quite painted an accurate mental picture. Which was why, as they entered the clearing and the small herd of thestrals made their way over, he stopped suddenly in his tracks, stunned.

"Oh..." Letting out a breath, his eyes grew wide as he took in the sight of the winged creatures, finding their skeletal appearance morbid and beautiful at the same time. He stared, transfixed, for the time being, though he seemed to snap out of his daze when he realized Jinki had spoken to him, blinking a few times and turning his attention to the other. "I-I can... I can see them..." He was confused about this, and the puzzlement was visible on his face, but he took a few steps closer to one of them, carefully extending a hand with some uncertainty, even glancing back to the professor as if waiting to be told it was acceptable to touch them.

['he stared in horror as the older Slytherin rushed over and picked up the spiders with his bare hands, cradling the tarantula close to his chest as if it were a precious thing. Even after so many years of rooming with the other male, Jongdae was still not used to him and his pets. The younger of the two paled at the amount of arachnids Hongki took off of his bed] J-just...put a spell on the lid or something next time...['he glared at the cat that sat placidly at the foot of the bed] Inutile.

{` with the tarantula roaming across his shoulders freely, he carefully plucks up the small spiders one by one until his hands are full and a few are crawling their way up and down his arms. carrying them over to the large jar next to his bed, he tries to get all of the arachnids in unharmed, before he does as instructed and screws the jar shut before taking out his wand and murmuring a charm under his breath to seal the lid more securely. the tarantula remains free, however, as he retrieves it from his shoulder and sets it on his pillow, looking over at the other boy as he does so} O-Okay, it won't happen again...

#sly:jongdae #slyjongdae #;script

Hongki! ['he shrieked, in a very manly tone, and drew back from his bed, brushing wildly at his arms] Why are there spiders on my bed?

{` waking from his sleep and jolting out of bed when he hears his name being shouted, he nearly hits the floor in his surprise, but quickly manages to pick himself up to his feet as he runs to the other male's bed} S-Sorry! Sorry, sorry! {` he apologizes profusely as he scoops up the tarantula currently crawling about on jongdae's pillows, cradling his pet carefully before placing it on his shoulder so he can round up the other, much smaller, spiders he had been keeping in a jar beside his own bed} Th-They must have gotten loose... I-I'm really sorry...

Linking this again because I need to add a little OOC disclaimer/warning. It's important that people who follow Hongki know that triggery subjects may be in there, but will always be tagged "tw", so maybe sure you have that under Tumblr Savior/xkit's blacklist. And because a lot of people don't like creepy crawlies I will add that Hongki likes spiders (if his tb's url isn't an indication), and will reblog pictures of them, but my tag for such is ";tarantella" so block that as well if you aren't up to seeing it. If anyone is incapable of blocking tags or is afraid to risk me mis-tagging something, you are of course in no way obligated to follow him, and I understand if you unfollow, even. I just wanted to clear that up to keep from bothering people!

( ; she frowns, hearing that this person is still around ) i see… ( ; her face lights up and she doesn’t know if this is appropriate to say, but she says it anyway ) do you want me to talk to this person? or beat them up?

{` he laughs bitterly once more at her words, shaking his head slowly. become a stronger person? he never was, and never will be, a strong person. he's weak-willed and unstable, and whenever he thinks he's getting better, some new trauma reverts him back to the timid and antisocial being he's always been. he wants to be able to say all this, give her some insight on how pathetic he truly is, but he doesn't have it in him to talk about it anymore, so he looks away as an indication that he's closing off from the topic once more. at least, that had been his intention, but her offer to beat up the person who caused him pain takes him by such surprise that he laughs again, this time genuinely} That... won't be necessary.
