genuinely how do ppl even get into qpp relationship? I don’t even have a best friend who would prefer me over others, how do you get so close to someone that you’re their favorite so much they’d genuinely be happy with committing to you???? I feel like nobody would want that from me and I personally struggle to get to know someone even past just general friends I want someone who’s mine, I want a qpp so much, but howwww???? T.T

Fall was officially in full swing, leaves crunching under Preston Fawley's feet, a cold breeze tickling his nose. It was only a few weeks into the new year, and Preston had already slipped from the dorm room and into the brisk morning air a dozen times.

He was fairly used to the whole routine by now, to all of his dorm mates and their respective schedules. After all, it was fourth year-- and the only truly notable thing that had changed in all of those four years was the addition of Regulus in the halls. But even that was old news now, and Preston had grown accustomed to the way Regulus would glare at them and mutter things under his breath.

So, it wasn't that he didn't know them all, or that he wasn't trusting- but everyone knew coming from a pureblood family was nothing but pits of unspoken horrors.

Unless your name was James Fleamont Potter. Of course, Preston was neither that lucky, nor that good of a son. His father made sure to see every little slight in him, making sure Preston saw them, too. He demanded going to Hogwarts was the only thing that would make "that creature something worth loving, in my eyes".

In all honestly, Preston still felt like the boy he was four years ago, not yet a man. The boy had stayed so close to James and Sirius that he practically phased into them as they came off the train.

He still clung to all of them just as much.

Despite his name, Fawley was no noble. He shrunk in on himself, his elbows were knobby, and he always had a look about him that made him seem as if he were eternally a little bit lost. He knew this well and good.

He also knew that his father had expected him to be, anyhow.

So, on mornings when the nightmares ripped him from his sleep so powerfully it made his entire body ache, he'd slip into the shadows. Quiet, unnoticed, unheard.

At least, that's what he had thought.

Up until he rounded the familiar corner for the thirteenth time, and found Remus, lounging on the common room couch. Book in hand, cane rested against the couch's arm, tensing when he entered as if he'd been expecting him.

Preston didn't say anything. Without even realizing, his breaths got smaller, silent, his feet moving without making a single sound. The same thing he'd done when his father was in the study.

"You were gone again," Remus murmured, eyes still tracing the page. When he finished the sentence he was reading, he glanced up.

I just want to eat this!!!

So bout that friend from a while back who kept making sexual jokes about me even though she knows I’m aroace and has been explicitly asked multiple times to stop!!!

yeah she hasn’t stopped. Instead she’s been blowing the comments off and saying I need to take a joke and that I’m overreacting :(

anyway today was finally the breaking point. She said “you seem like the kind of person, where if same sex marriage was ever illegal, you’d marry a gay man(implying he would secretly date a guy and I would secretly date a girl)” I replied to her saying no I wouldn’t do that because I’m aroace and that would have literally no benefit for me and she decided to respond by saying “well yeah but maybe you’d fall in love”

…

I’ve bee open about being aroace with her for about 3 or 4 years now. Until now she’s been making mostly sexual comments and jokes and I guess I never really felt to bad about them and was able to make myself forget it because anything involving sex kinda feels fake to me but idk this was the breaking point. Her implying that I’m wrong about myself and that I will fall in love someday (Ik it’s not exactly what the quote said but based on our past and other factors I know this is what she’s thinking)

what really broke me tho was afterwards another friend came up to me (she said this at our lunch table in front of many other people who also know I’m aroace and didn’t react at all) and talked to me bout it. I’m actually so so grateful they came up to me and told me what she did wasn’t right and that they’d noticed all the other times she’s said things like this. And idk I was holding back tears

Up until now no one has ever really acknowledged what she’s been saying or anything so having someone actually do that and agree with me that she should not be acting like that… idk it meant a lot to me. They hugged me and asked if I wanted them to talk to her about it and I just felt so cared for ig? Idk I’m really grateful for all they said

Anyway the point of this post was to say I’m going to try and talk to her one more time tomorrow and try to explain why I don’t like these comments and how she’s being homophobic and try to explain more in depth ig that I’m not only aroace but also romance and sex repulsed

So wish me luck and if you have any advice pls share ty for listening to my ranting <3
