I am steady, look? " he said shaking a little to show he was steady. He nodded "Yeah I don't, well I thought it would be, so I just carried on" he smiled as he saw her beam, he knew that she agreed with what he had said. He smiled as she agreed that he was opposite to him, that was how it was since she could eat a lot more than him. He had to chuckle as she answered his question, he nodded "I see! well ok, I guess it's good that you want gummy worms. Too bad I dont have any in my pockets right now" cause if he had gummy worms in his pocket he would have given them to her. Yeah she did love those gummy worms a lot! A lot more than he did, but he was liking them too. As he ate them more and more, and Ella was the one that was offering him every time they had hung out, but he was not complaining, afterall to was Ella how could he refuse her?
He smiled as she did, before he heard her giggle and he raised his eyebrows. "You can? How can you tell? " he looked at his arms, could she see some muscles that he couldnt see? He wondered of those workouts over the years had taken an effect, he wondered why he had suddenly wanted to workout with Justin. Maybe he had worked out for this day, to show a girl that he could be tough as well as the sweet kid that he was. He watched as she seemed to have her face stuck at rhe grin point he smiled and nodded "You can? Um ok.. but if you don't mind me asking... how are you going to do that? " cause he was curious as to how she was going to make sure that he didn't doubt himself? He smiled as he waited for her answer, as he looked at her. Was she going to teach him some tricks on how to stop doubting how could he was? Ella Bishop as his professor? Mmm maybe it wouldn't be so bad to learn some things from her.
He saw her nod as she agreed "Yeah I thought you might be, knowing that I will work when I get back" maybe he should really get some work done instead of wondering what Ella was doing in her common room. But he didn't need to think that right now she since he knew what she was doing. He pretended that he had no idea that he was funny "Really? I am? Why.... I had no idea I was!" he said before bursting into laughter that he could not hold for long. That was his downside he could never hold in a laughter for too long, and now he had let it out.
He watched as she took a step towards him, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. He felt her hand grab his and he looked down and back up at her as she said that he had to walk a girl to her common room as it was the gentlemenly thing to do, he was left speechless. He watched as she started to lead them down the corridor, he looked down the corridor as he noticed that they weren't too far from her common room now. Meaning he would have to leave her at the door again, this stopped him in his tracks. Unknowingly he had pulled her towards him by stopping in his tracks, she ended up falling into him again as he caught her once more and held her in his arms. They were so close that he ended up staring into those sparkly eyes of hers, and forgot where they were. Slowly he leaned in towards her as he was going to kiss her, when he realised what he was doing and changed the direction and went for her check just so that she wouldn't wonder why he had leaned in only to lean out again.
Ella smiled, nodding her head.
"Yup, I see." And she was glad he wasn't going to fall over on her any time soon. The third year shrugged at the fact that he didn't have any gummy worms on him, bringing her hand down and tapping her own pants pocket.
"Did you forget who I am, Harvs?" Grin.
"I have some, I always have some." She hardly ever went anywhere without gummy worms. One never knew when they were going to come in handy, y'know.
How could she tell? Ella wasn't sure she wanted to answer that question. Truth be told, she was just kind of joking around with Harvs. Not that he was a weakling or anything, the third year just had never really thought about things like muscles before. She smiled thoughtfully for a moment before answering, trying to think of the best way to put it.
"I just know..." Which wasn't much of an answer at all, actually. She looked at Harvey seriously when he inquired how she was going to help him with his problem.
"Well...I'll just have to tell you how great you are...every day." And maybe her reminders would help convince him of it too.
"Besides, I don't lie. You'll have to believe me eventually." And Ella smiled confidently before giving Harvey a hug. Those were part of the plan too.
"You don't mind it do you, my worrying?" Ella always felt like it might get annoying at times, how much she thought about everything. How much she worried that the people she loved weren't doing the things they needed to do, or getting the things they needed. She guessed it was probably a lot to take.
"I am trying to work on it." She added, quieter this time. It was the truth, she was working on it. Her face lit up when Harvey burst into laughter, finding herself doing the same. It was nice, laughing like this. She laughed until her stomach hurt, clutching at her sides and taking a deep shaky breath to calm herself. She wasn't even sure what they had been laughing about when she finally stopped, all she knew was that laughter like that was the best.
O____O
And then Harvey tried to steal Ella's arm, or rip it off, or something. All she knew was that one moment she'd been pulling him along and the next she had been jerked back and wrapped up in Harvey's arms. Hm. That was a strange way to go in for a hug. The third year looked up at him curiously, wondering what had just happened. It made the situation even more puzzling because Harvey wasn't saying anything. He was just...staring. And they were close....really close. Close enough that if she just rose up on her toes he could kiss her. And this thought made her heart race and her breath catch in her throat. And then he was leaning in and she felt like all the butterflies in her stomach were going to combust or something...and her heart was beating so fast now that she could hear it. It was SO loud. Could he hear this too. OhMerlin'sBeard. Was this it?
...
And then he kissed her cheek. And Ella wanted to groan, or yell at him, or sigh with frustration. Because Ella wanted him to kiss her. Because Ella wanted to kiss him. Because Ella couldn't understand why he kept backing out. She'd been over it in her head since it
almost happened the first time. Was she unkissable? Did she not look pretty enough. Was she just not the type of girl you kissed? All the thinking was driving her nuts. It was making her feel awful and she felt like she was always on edge, just waiting for the moment when he might finally go for it. She was growing impatient out on the edge, though. She was tired of waiting and tired of wishing Harvs would take his shot...
So Ella decided to do what she always did when she was out on the edge. She jumped.
The third year stood up on her tippy toes, grabbing Harvey's shirt and bringing him towards her. And then her lips were on his.
