 I lawled. XD
Levi's dark eyes widened as he saw that she had brought him something as well. That was so thoughtful of her. Christmas back home was pretty much a bust when it came to presents and generally feeling loved so the Gryffindor enjoyed spending it at school with his friends a lot more. Now that he had somebody he had feelings for, it only made the holiday several times better. It didn't matter whether he was poor as dirt or not. The feeling of having someone acknowledge you in such a way and care for you zeroed out all of the negativity the rest of the year carried. He didn't know what it was but he knew whatever she had given him, he would love...even if it was a tacky sweater.
"Thank you," the Gryffindor replied quietly, taking the gift from her and beaming. "That's really sweet of you. Do you wanna open each others' presents now? I don't mind if you go first." He lifted his head to look at her, his eyes boring into hers. He wondered if she was feeling the same way she had. It was silly but he almost wished she could actually see into his head and understand how much he cared about her. There was only so much he could express using words alone and sometimes he couldn't get them out the right way. Actually, most of time it was hard to express what he truly felt at the risk of looking like a major dork.
But with Samira, he didn't mind if he seemed like a geek. He didn't care if he was the biggest geek in the world as long as she thought he was worth being around. He had since figured out that Samira wouldn't have associated with somebody like him if he wasn't worth her time. He hoped his hunch was right, that she saw him as somebody special and not just another idiot in her school. He was pretty sure he didn't need to worry but he couldn't help it once in a while.
"Samira," Levi began softly, leaning in. He was going to try kissing her for the second time. The first hadn't gone so well due to him getting nervous. Hopefully, he wouldn't chicken out again. Before he could reach her, a sneeze erupted from around the corner and he gasped, jerking away from the Slytherin hastily. "What was that?" he asked, feeling a little stupid. |
