Misunderstood Misunderstandings // Deluka

When Luka invited Delilah up to his dorm for an evening together, he didn't tell her exactly what his plan was. Of course, they'd relax together, and he'd brought up some sweets for them to share--but his main intention was to help her out with her marks. She hadn't been able to go to Hogsmeade last weekend, and Luka didn't like the idea of her being here in a castle alone with all of those people; especially when he didn't know for sure what they were up to yet. They'd already showed what they do when they're discontent, and he knew that the rules put into place separated people they were happy with from people that they're not.

He sat out books and supplies for them, and then lit a candle to try and give it a bit more of a romantic atmosphere. Maybe she'd be more open to working on it if the environment wasn't quite so strenuous. And then, later, they could be together like he knew she would want--and he, admittedly, would want as well. First priority on his mind, though, was keeping her safe: and getting her marks up was one way to do it.

Like a Virgin // Delilah and Luka

Luka was still freaking out. It was incredibly nerve wracking to think about, and not just because this was a big deal for him... But Delilah was a big deal to him, too. It became blatantly obvious when talking to Leo and then Delilah herself that she wanted it, and him holding back was just as bad as him pushing. He wanted her to now that he wanted her, he just had to make sure that she knew he wanted more than that, first. But now it was clear that she did, so there was nothing stopping them... except for Luka's nerves. 

Once he kicked all of the guys out, Luka set about getting the room ready. He got another bouquet of flowers for her, sitting by his bed... And then he charmed up some curtains so that the rest of the room wasn't visible to them, just to make it a little more charming. He also took care of the smell... figuring that the smell of Gryffindor men really would do nothing for her. Then, he set about his third course of action--preparing himself to last longer. 

He was so nervous that masturbating took a little more time than normal. He couldn't get the thought of her out of his head, and while normally that would have gotten him off quickly, he was more so worried about her look of disgust as they proceeded with the night. Finally, however, he was able to finish, and then he could feel some of the nerves subside. If he could just remember the other important parts of the night... maybe this could be not as bad as he though.

[Hufflepuff] Confidence is Sexy // Delilah and Luka

Luka was freaking out. He'd never done this kind of thing before--dating--and he wasn't entirely sure that he wasn't going to just fuck it up like he fucked up a lot of things. He was running over people's advice in his mind, trying to make sure that he kept all the important points at the front. Say what she wants to hear. Listen to the subtle hints. Confidence is sexy.

As he got dressed in what he could only hope was appropriate party attire (a pair of jeans and a nice button up), Luka chanted those things in his head to help psyche himself up for the night ahead of him. He had no doubts that he would have a fun time there with Delilah, but he also had no doubts that there would be a point in the night where he would like like a bloody loon. So if he could just make up for the moment, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. 

He ran his fingers through his hair, and then took a deep breath as he reached out for the bouquet of flowers he'd gotten at Leo's prompting. He wasn't even sure if Delilah liked those kind of things, but at least he'd put a little bit of thought into it. Luka walked down towards Hufflepuff as it neared eight o'clock, wondering if.... flowers were even something that you brought on a date to a party. Were they solely for dinner dates? Or really intimate dates, at least? What was the going to do with them when he gave them to her? Just hold them all night at the party? Or... They were going to be in Hufflepuff, she could probably just put them away... But Luka wasn't sure if that was going to be too much trouble or not.

Regardless, he got closer and closer to the Hufflepuff dorms, trying not to look too visibly nervous. Maybe... this would all turn out okay.
