“We always share blankets on the couch, I’m sure sharing the bed for the night is fine too.”

The weather was terrible out, and Alicia had insisted that Becca and Oliver both stay rather than trying to make the trek back to their own houses. It had all seemed like a grand idea to Becca until the middle of the night, when she was nodding off on Oliver’s shoulder and sleeping arrangements were suddenly being discussed. There weren’t exactly spare beds up for grabs, and Leo did have a point, it wasn’t like she hadn’t fallen asleep with him on the couch back at Hogwarts a hundred times. But something about the barely perceptible look of panic on the third person in the room’s face let her know that this was different, and she vehemently shook her head. “No, no, that’s okay -- you guys can have your bed, I don’t mind staying out here at all. Thanks for the offer, but you know me, I can fall asleep anywhere; I so don’t need to share your bed with you, Leo.”

“I keep telling them we’re not dating, but they keep telling me friends don’t normally make out when drunk.”

“Oh yeah, um... about that,” Lui muttered, unable to meet Gwen’s eyes for some reason. They were just friends who made out when drunk and did a lot more than that when people weren’t watching, but... “We kinda can’t do that anymore. Maybe. I don’t know.” Lui drummed his fingers on his legs, sure that Gwen was about to judge the hell out of him for what he was about to say. Hell, he was judging himself for it, because he knew how things ended when he tried to make a relationship happen, and he wasn’t going to do that again, not to anyone... especially not to Aster. But even if he wasn’t going to try and pursue her, suddenly doing things with anyone who wasn’t her just didn’t feel that intetersting anymore. “I, uh -- I think I kind of caught feelings for somebody, and I don’t know how to make them go away. I think you gotta murder me.” As an afterthought, he added, in all seriousness, “Please.”

“I’m holding your hand because the movie is scary, alright? It’s a… Terrifying… Rom-com… ….. .”

Blair rolled her eyes at Chandler. “It’s so not scary -- their outfits are even on point, that’s super rare in the movies,” she pointed out, shaking her head. She couldn’t blame the other girl for wanting to hold onto her as they watched, though; she’d just gotten a brand new lotion, and it was definitely supposed to have this kind of effect, just on someone else and not on the Gryffindor girl. “It’s okay, Chan Chan, you don’t have to make excuses, I know my hands are totally soft. I can recommend a good moisturizer for you, too, although I guess you need all those icky calluses to keep you from falling off your broom all the time”

“Are you trying to turn me on?”

“They’re names of drinks, Lucas,” Aileen reminded him with a roll of her eyes. Boys. They were all the same, even the ones who pretended that they weren’t. “A red-headed slut is Jager, peach schnapps, and cranberry juice, it’s not me referring to myself. Or my sisters, before you get any ideas.” Turning back to the counter, she picked up another bottle, pulling a shot glass towards her and saying, “It’s not going to bother you too much if the next shot I make is called an orgasm, is it? Because it’s really more fun to let them keep their original names.”

“Why is your hand on my ass?”

“Sorry!” Tristan yelped, his face turning bright red in horror. He hadn’t meant to grab Kori there; he’d just been trying to find them in the dark, and he’d been reaching for a hand or even  lower back or something. Definitely not their ass, though. Definitely not his intention. He moved his hand back as if he’d been burned, lamenting, “Man, maybe Earth Hour wasn’t as awesome of an idea as I thought. It really is hard to see in the dark, isn’t it?”

“Okay, maybe I am a bit jealous.”

“Well...” Kim responded, taking Trini by the hand and dragging her in the opposite direction of her house, towards the gold mine instead. “You said you don’t have to be home for a while, right? Who says we can’t go out and take the Zords for a little joy ride so you can see what it’s like to fly the Pterodactyl, just once?”

“No, I can’t hang out, I’m on a date and you know that.”

“I didn’t know what you guys did was dating,” J.C. admitted, looking around the room to see if that Goose dude was making his way back over to the table. Even when he didn’t see him anywhere, though, he didn’t sit down or anything; he just hovered awkwardly by Aspen’s side, not knowing what to say. He didn’t know why his voice sounded so flat; he was happy that Aspen had people she felt safe spending time with... even ones that made her feel safe enough to date. J.C. brushed off the weird feeling, though; Aspen didn’t need his help, and she didn’t want his company, so he should just leave.

Still, before he walked away, he couldn’t resist saying, “Still, he’s been in that bathroom an awfully long time. You sure he’s not waiting for you to go in there and do more weird bathroom stuff with him? Because if he is, nobody’d judge you for leaving your... date or whatever.”

“The date didn’t go well. Yeah, she/he didn’t like how I kept mentioning all of our adventures.”

“Ugh, people are so dumb!” Becca exclaimed, closing the book she’d been reading with a loud thud as Leo sat next to her. She hadn’t even had to ask him about his date at all, he’d predicted her first question and gone about answering it before she’d even noticed that he’d come back to the Gryffindor Common Room at all. “Seriously, why does nobody believe that a guy and a girl can just be friends? Earlier I told Oliver I was waiting here until you got back and he got all weird and asked if I was waiting to declare my love for you before you could get all serious about Jade. I mean, what is wrong with people? There’s nothing to be jealous of here!”
