where do we begin, the rubble or our sins (ZANDER)

Ever since that first trip into the Prefect's bathroom, Talon had been a changed man. He was still shy, but he was doing things that he otherwise wouldn't do. For starters he always carried an object covered in bright, shiny foil in his back pocket, unsure of when those feelings he had felt in that bathroom would strike again. There was a bit more of a spring in his step and a more relaxed aura coming off of the young man that by all rights should be freaking out over his O.W.Ls.

Despite that however there was a slight anxiousness that was slowly building within him. He had yet to see the boy beyond a passing glance and as time passed he was starting to feel this new emotion building up within him with each day that passed. Yes, he had seen this boy in the hallways or on the grounds traveling with friends, but he was too timid to approach a group of people just to speak to Zander.

Despite their lack of talking however it seemed that everyone knew that something had happened between them. You see, the rumor about him and Zander dating had finally made its way back around to him. As confusing as it was it was he just couldn't work up the courage to approach the young man... that is until he noticed a blur of red over to his left while he was eating breakfast at his house's table.

Zander had not forgotten about Talon but the seventh year had gotten rather swamped in the month or so following. It was not at all ideal to him. He wanted to draw Talon in even more but he couldn’t do that between Quidditch practices, games, studying for exams and all the other stuff he had to do as a seventh year. And Talon was a prefect with OWLs coming up so was likely very busy as well.

He wanted to stake his claim so Zander spread the rumor that Talon was his boyfriend, warning off anyone who might show an interest in the boy he had decided would be his own. It worked well enough as far as he could tell and was at a level of subtlety that he thought his current interest would feel comfortable with.

Now, finally, he had a block of free time and Talon seemed to just be eating breakfast. He went over to the Ravenclaw and was a bit surprised when he caressed his butt. Feeling something in the boys pocket, Zander curiously and boldly reached into his pocket and pulled it out. “Oh? Is this a gift for me?” He asked playfully before sitting on Talons lap.

Confusion crossed his face as someone caressed his buttocks, and then as his eyes settled upon the little foil packet his face went as white as ivory. This wasn't the place for that! He reached out for what was taken from him, attempting to grasp Zander's wrist so he could try and force his hand down and out of view of the others. He had only just begun to discover who he was, but he didn't need the stigma of what they had done to follow him around like a little lost puppy.

"Put it down! Quick! Before anyone sees it!"

Colour was slowly returning to his cheeks, although in all the wrong places. Instead of returning to a healthy colour, he began to gain blotches of red upon his cheek bones. He shifted beneath Zander's weight, trying to get comfortable upon the bench once again whilst also hiding his excitement at Zander's arrival.

"By the way... since when were we dating? I don't remeber agreeing to that."

“Careful, I only like bruises that come from things like what we did in the bathroom,” Zander said with a wink when Talon attempted to grasp his wrist. He complied with Talon’s request though and slipped the condom into his own pocket. Talon didn’t need it for anyone but him anyway if he had his way. And Zander was used to having his way.

He chuckled at Talon’s words, his fingers lightly caressing the other boys cheek. “Well, that was me. I have been very busy lately but I didn’t want anyone coming along and snatching you away from me. Or do you mean to say that you would do that with me without even thinking of dating me?”

i never told a lie, and that makes me a liar.

Inwardly the young man sighed as the other boy slid it back out of sight. What they had done together may or may not have been a secret anymore thanks to the rumour that had been spread by his male counterpart, but it would be nice to be discreet about it, especially when he was still trying to figure out what it all meant to him. That had been his first romantic and/or lustful experience and he was a firm believer in the fact that a conclusion couldn’t be made based on a sole piece of information.

Cautiously he checked the area around them before he answered the other man’s question.

Yes, there were rumours out there aabout what had gone on between the two of them in private, but he would prefer to keep it that way until he knew exactly what things between them were. There was one thing that they both knew though… they both knew that he had enjoyed the experience.

“I… I don’t know…”

He gave Zander a bit of a sheepish look before he continued.

“I need time… I don’t know if this is me… I don’t know who I am yet so I don’t want people thinking that I’m something that I could not be… I don’t want to disappoint anyone and its hard to change the opinion of someone who had already made up their minds.”

If they weren’t in a crowded room, he probably would have verbally admitted that Zander was his first ever, something that Zander probably already realized but hearing an admission of that would be different to noticing it… there were too many ears for him to do so though.
