She laughed at his greeting, which made her feel at ease because if he was nervous, it meant she was pretty cool, right? Did she often make people - guys - nervous? did she make Noah nervous???
Ahem.
"Ah, thanks. You look nice, too. Blue is a great color for you." She leaned on her toes to kiss his cheek and took his arm in hers, leading him a little closer to the pond. "I figured we could eat and feed the ducks AFTER we ate....which, I hope you know ducks can't eat bread. It's really bad for them. Muggles insist on feeding them bread still, and it REALLY makes my blood boil - did you KNOW ducks can lose their ability to FLY because of bread?" she prattled on. Maybe she was more nervous than she thought.
She unfolded the blanket from her own basket and spread it near the pond. It was a nice day, which meant there was a gentle breeze and the sun was peeking out slightly instead of the usual gloom of the UK. She had a seat in the most ladylike way she can manage, crossing her ankles and whatnot, and leaned back on her elbows. Her hair was sticking to her armpits since it had sliiiid that way as she sat; this was not fun. How did women wear their hair down a lot? In an attempt to get it behind her back, she did a little flip with her hands of her hair...there. Aboli didn't even consider herself the opposite of a girly-girl! She was as feminine as she wanted to be, and she liked feeling pretty, but she just...wasn't used to this.
"This is my first date, by the way, so no pressure. Honestly, you have nothing to live up to, soooOOoo..." she chuckled, a polite hand over her mouth as she did so.
He didn’t feel cute at all. Sure, the clothes were nice
and expensive but they also reminded him of home. At Hogwarts, he could wear whatever he wanted when he did not have classes but back at home he wore these types of clothes. He both hated it and missed his home thinking about this…
Also, he thought that green was more his color but he wasn't stupid enough to argue with that so he smiled and nodded.
He was pulled out of his thought when Aboli suddenly leaned in to kiss his cheek and pulled him closer to the water. And his stomach did a little flip. Though, not in the butterfly kind of way. He was uncomfortable with physical contact just like this and he was sure he had told the Slytherin about this before but…maybe she had forgotten? Still, this was a date. It was right? And if he wanted to have a girlfriend he had to grow up and get rid of his discomfort.
So with that in mind, the Hufflepuff let himself being dragged closer to the pond. He watched her as she unfolded the blanket and in the back of his mind he heard a small voice telling him to help out but he didn’t , he was too distracted about what on earth he was supposed to do or say. How did dates even go? Did you talk? And about what? He didn’t want to talk about his troubles again that would bring the mood down. But he didn’t have any interesting things to tell either? He liked gaming. Leading his guild members in to unknown territory and battling monsters was something he was interested in but he also knew many did not.
He was therefore glad that Aboli decided to talk first.
”I know…” he said as she talked about bread and ducks and he looked over at the creatures in the water.
”Our gardener chased after me once when I tried to feed them that in our pond” he chuckled as he thought back to the memory.
”That’s how I learned that but a lot of people don’t know” he sighed.
”I uhm, I wasn’t sure what to bring for food so I …bought everything?’ he laughed sheepishly as he opened the basket and placed it in the middle of the blanket showing mini sandwiches. All kinds of bite sized fruits like strawberries and pineapple. He even bought slices of pizza with him cause who didn’t like pizza?! Some wraps and chocolate cause DUH.
”Oh I also got…” He opened the back of the basket and with the help of a cooling charm that kept the drinks cool, Minjae took out two bottles of butterbeer from Hogsmeade and grinned.
”I uh made an order a few days ago…I hope its okay?” she wasn’t allergic to anything right?
He was slowly starting to relax. The weather was nice, the food was nice (he hoped) and the ducks were adorable AND he had a date. A DATE. LIKE WHAT? Oh gosh he was on a date…what did that even mean?! Ok he was panicking again.
And the feeling worsened when she told him that she had never gone on a date before. Didn’t she realize that instead of making him comfortable she was only adding pressure?? Because he didn’t saw it as ‘nothing to live up to’ but as ‘I need to make this good now or else she will forever remember her first date as a disaster and aksfhgaklgjwrglahwrgl .
”It’s -- IT’S MY FIRST DATE TOO” he hadn’t meant to yell and he could feel his ears turning bright red again. Noah!! please help, he had no clue what he was supposed to do T_T
