      « ʿ⋄ ˖ ✌ MARTINO WAS WALKING dwith a drink in hand and a big smile on his face when suddenly, a body bumped into his own. he let out a silent curse under his breath as he took a quick step back while holding the full glass of liquor in between his body and the stranger’s. with cautious eyes he watched how the liquid rocked around in the glass, dancing around but luckily not doing anything more than near the edge – it didn’t escape on the floor or either of their outfits. “ oh god… “, he said as a laugh burst from in between his lips. “ that was damn close – luckily for the both of us, i know how to handle a full glass. “, marty said as he finally looked up at the girl and winked in her direction. “ it’s all good, don’t sweat it. that’s what happens in a crowded room, right ? besides, there were no victims made. “, and with that, a charming smile reappeared on his features. ˒ ♦ ° » 

     relief seemed to hit her  like a ton of bricks when the witch noticed the boy’s positive reaction .  the last thing she needed was to be in a fight ,  && his response quickly made her feel better .  perhaps people were just nicer outside of cloud tower ,  or maybe lux was feeling lucky tonight .  letting out a small chuckle ,  the witch brushed her hair back and nodded in agreement with his words .  ❝  it’s a nice  skill  to have ,  you could say  ---  especially around klutzy people like me ...  still ,  i’m sorry .  i should have been a little more careful .  ❞  she insisted with a curt nod ,  eyes drifting to look at the drink in his hand .  ❝  what is that ??  ❞

       the welcoming ball had been  as entertaining as it was overwhelming for the witch ;  while she liked the music  &  to simply watch people interact ,  lux was still trying to find her way around the event  ---  in other words ,  blend in while managing to have fun .  there were only so many familiar faces she encountered  ( most of them from cloud tower ,  of course ) ,  but the redhead enjoyed the idea of not being the slightest bit close to most of the people around .  then again ,  was she even close to anyone anyway ??  wandering around while lost in her thoughts ,  lux felt her body bump against someone else’s ,  which instantly prompted an apology from the witch .  ❝  i - i’m sorry ,  i wasn’t looking .  ❞  she apologized ,  hand nervously brushing a curl back .

        ❝ ˛✦ ⊰ FLORA WAS EXCITED for the welcoming ball. it was one of the highlights of the school year to her, so of course she had joined to team to decorate and transform the alfea’s beautiful ballroom into and help direct the event to assure its success. dressed in a beautiful, semi-long light pink and floral decorated dress, the girl had positioned herself near the entrance of the ballroom; shooting every arriving guest a bright smile as she cheerily said: “ hi there ! welcome to the welcoming ball ! “. ⊱ ⋄ ʾ ❞ 

      at first ,  lux was reluctant to come to the to ball  ---  she was not one for dozens  &&  dozens of people all around ,  not did she feel that comfortable in alfea grounds .  not when she could hardly imagine herself fitting in the slightest bit .  however ,  that did not mean she couldn’t try for the night .  brushing down her cream colored gown ,  the redhead turned quickly when she heard someone greet her .  ❝  oh ... um ,  thank you .  ❞  she responded ,  taken by surprise by the other girl’s excitement .  offering a small smile ,  lux nodded curtly .  ❝  sorry ,  you surprised me ...  ❞

    head nods repeatedly at the ice witch ,  a deep breath following right after .  ❝ alright ,  got it ...  sorry i keep buggin’ you about this ,  icy ;  i just can’t stop thinking about it .  ❞  the entire situation made lux feel much like a child ,  or a pre - teen who had been struck by  love  for the first time .  she hated being an annoyance ,  yet at the same time ,  the witch found that she liked feeling the  warm sensation  in her chest ,  the excitement she seemed to have forgotten the moment her last relationship ended .  ❝  i probably shouldn’t get my hopes up ...  it’s pointless ,  &&  maybe he doesn’t even want to get back together .  maybe i’m just thinking about it too much .  ❞  / @icvs

❝ God, you must have been the worst fourth grader ever. ❞

      her gaze shifts away  from the fairy ,  focusing down at her very own pair of brown ankle boots .  lux had very little against fairies ;  unlike a handful of witches ,  the girl felt little desire to rival her counterparts  ---  if anything ,  a part of her wondered what it was like not to carry a heavy heart ,  to see the good side of things  &&  cross the street without worrying about being judged as evil by people who don’t quite know you .  however ,  there was always an exception to the rule .  a young woman of few words ,  lux simply gave a shrug of both shoulders .  ❝  i uh ...  i was private tutored ,  actually .  i skipped so many grades that it became pointless to follow the same education pattern as everyone else .  ❞

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ LATE? IT was late? the last time micah checked the time, it was only late in the afternoon. time really flew and he somehow didn’t catch onto that, especially considering he’d entered the dormitories while it was visibly dark outside. well, actually, he didn’t even have a single memory of him entering cloud tower’s boundaries. “and why would you care?” the male challenged. he severely doubted that lux would have any interest in his sleeping schedule — or him at all, for that matter. but, he felt his stomach drop. micah had woken lux up. he had knowledge of the fact that she suffered from nightmares, it just came with her powers. despite the guilt slowly building up, he swallowed it and just like that, the feeling met his pride down there, which he had long shoved down. micah watched her approach, looking up, and raised an eyebrow when she stopped. he closed his eyes and simply listened in silence until he had enough. “of course i cared!” the outburst came in a split second. “care. i still care.” the correction was necessary, as much as he didn’t want to admit it. “you pushing me away wasn’t fair and you’re smart, you know it wasn’t.”

          ❝  why would i care ??  i -- ... i don’t need a reason for that .  ❞  a part of lux wanted to scream at herself for such a childish response ;  she was supposed to be the bigger person ,  the one who thought rationally while micah carried the burden of so much pride in his heart .  funny as it was ,  she had always admired that about him .  it was one of lux’s favorite things about the man .  her hands rubbed up  &&  down her pale arms ,  seeking the warmth she didn’t know she needed until he came in  ---  it was almost as if the room had grown colder due to their presence .  the witch knew she missed him  ( so very much ,  in fact ) ,  yet at the same time ,  she hadn’t realized just how much until now .  at his exclamation ,  the redhead jumped back in surprise ,  not expecting such a loud tone so suddenly .  she wasn’t scared ,  of course ,  but startled  ---  both by the sound  &&  by his words ,  which micah soon corrected .  i do too ,  she thought .  hazel eyes watched his face for a few seconds ,  just before her gaze drifted downwards .  ❝  ... don’t say that .  please don’t do this to me ,  don’t do this to us .  ❞  she begged in a quiet tone ,  eyes shutting while lux shook her head .  ❝  i - i know it wasn’t fair but ...  but it was the only way .  it  is  the only way !!  ❞  the witch exclaimed ,  feeling her bottom lip begin to quiver .  don’t cry ,  don’t you dare cry right now !!  ❝  i’m s - so sorry ,  you know i would never hurt the guy i lo-- ... care for on purpose .  ❞
