Alfie listened as he asked for confirmation that they were more than friends now, beginning to stumble over his own words as he explained that he didn't want to give people the wrong impression.
Amused, Alfie's expression lit up in a warm smile once more and she had the overwhelming desire to give Theo a kiss of her own. He had given one, why wouldn't she be allowed to return one? So in the next moment the blonde had shifted her weight to her toes, successfully gaining a couple inches in height so she could more easily reach his expression. She very gently placed a soft kiss onto Theo's left cheekbone, hoping to assure him of his own assumptions with a simple gesture before actually saying it out loud. It lasted for a moment longer than necessary as the gentle girl allowed her blue eyes to flutter close, sure that her eyelashes could be felt on his skin, in that one instant before she returned to her normal height and locked gazes with him once more. "Theodore Dumble," Alfie started with an amused smile that she seemed to be unable to erase from her expression. "I would very much like it if you would be my boyfriend; officially."
Theodore momentarily closed his eyes as Alfie planted a soft, subtle kiss, her lashes brushing pleasantly against his skin before she pulled back. He could get used to this. The small smile on his face didn't seem to want to vacate any time soon, and he was perfectly fine with that. Happiness, true joy, had evaded the anxious sixteen-year-old for quite some time. It was about time that he felt such warmth after nearly a year of being in the U.K.
Gazing down at Alfie as she made her statement, he couldn't help but laugh once more, cocking his head to the side as he examined the emotion behind her facial expression. "Are you sure?" He teased momentarily. "I'm sure the suitors lining up outside of this cove would be devastated." Glancing up and through the thick sheets of water that seemed to endlessly fall from above, Theo could make out vague shapes of other students in the lagoon. It was a wonder that other people even existed outside of this happy little world that Theo and Alfie had created for themselves.
"I accept," He finally answered, his gaze returning to hers. "But only if you, Alfiana Port, will concede to be my girlfriend." It felt odd saying each others full names; it was as if they were knighting each other. "And I would like...
love it if we could make this little announcement to our friends together, if you'd like," He added, smirking ever so slightly. "I would hate to miss the look on Emma's face, or anyone elses face, really, when they hear the news."
