But that wouldn't be there anymore...
Hands still on the cup, Kurumi didn't notice Treyen push back a few strands of her hair. Had she, she may have blushed...but now both of them would never know. Slowly, she picked the cup back up and took the smallest of sips before looking back at the bowl of fresh fruit he had pulled closed to them. "I...do like strawberries..." she said softly. "M-Mother likes them too..."
Her thoughts trailed off again, as they were doing a lot recently. At least Treyen knew now. One more person she could turn to when things got...more intense.
Kurumi turned her violet eyes towards him again when he spoke and a faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Cupcakes...right..."You know...you are the only person I bake cupcakes for." True statement. "I...just don't know if..."
But her sentence was cut off when...Ellie appeared out of no where.
Kurumi noted the obvious lack of greeting for her and the aggressive stare she was receiving. WHAT had the lioness done now? Was she not even allowed to talk to Treyen anymore?
Kurumi's body posture shrunk and grew very small and her grip on her cup of pumpkin juice tightened. Was she...supposed to greet her? Or...was she just supposed to get up and leave?
Somehow...Kurumi felt like the latter was the more desired result...

Basically Ellie's schedule until the Hufflepuff match. And she'd just gotten finished with the Quidditch part, so it was time for eating. First, just in case he were there, she scanned the Hufflepuff table. Next her eyes went to the Ravenclaw table. That would be her destination.
Instead, she saw him as her gaze passed the Gryffindor table. Odd, no? How often did the Hufflepuff Prefect eat with the Lions?
Nonetheless, Ellie made to sit by him. It wasn't until she was closer did she notice who he was sitting with.
And what they were doing.
That made her lose her appetite. It felt as if her stomach dropped and she had horrible, HORRIBLE flashbacks. Flashbacks of awful feelings. Of brokenness. And hurt.
Suddenly, she was overcome with an unfamiliar, territorial instinct. In which she found herself instantly standing beside him and attempting to sit between Treyen and Kurumi. "Hey there. Boyfriend." BOY.FRIEND. It was her. Ellie. Your GIRLFRIEND. Remember?
REMEMBER?!??!!!?!
Yeah, he knew the feeling. No, wait, actually...he didn't. He was the one that ate because they needed to eat, not so much because he wanted to, unless it was ice cream. Or gelato.
Granted, Arya had made sure he'd been well fed in the past.
And she liked strawberries? So did he! So did many people, but this was information he had no idea existed. It was nice to find that out. He also liked grapes, but the moment demanded strawberries, not grapes. The boy didn't make a comment about the fact that her mother liked them too, sort of made him wonder if Mr. Hollingberry didn't. He did one thing, though, he pushed the little bowl towards Kurumi even more.
OH MERLIN! LOOK! The smallest of smiles was slowly making its way to her face. His smile just widened. He was making progress.
And...oh. Treyen was the only one she baked cupcakes for? That was...
...INTERRUPTIONS. And just when he was about to say something.
However, it wasn't just
any interruption. It was Ellie. And, well, THAT Miss Eliana Stone was awfully rude of you. She knew Kurumi, yet she didn't greet her. Not to mention there was
plenty of room on the other side for Ellie to take a seat if she wanted to join, which Treyen was actually wishing she wouldn't.
He didn't notice one thing...there was a faint blush on his face from when Kurumi mentioned she only baked cupcakes for him...or something similar to that. But it wasn't too noticeable, was it?
Eyes on Ellie. He didn't reply to her greeting,
"I'm pretty sure you also meant to say 'Hi Kurumi', right?" And Kurumi better not move a single inch away. She wasn't leaving.
"There's plenty of space next to me, too." His eyes never left his girlfriend, though, yet he was sure she could understand what he meant.
She was free to join them, by all means, but not like this. He was
trying to cheer Kurumi up.
