"I feel special," GRIN. Because of the emphasis on the 'you'. And he knew how much the girl loved gummy worms. It's what brought about the occasional not-so-original nickname from him. But this also meant that he needed to find one of his favourites to share with her. Something that wasn't... you know... Superman. "Yeah, you did," Was he meant to remind her of this...? Alec nudged her gently before saying, "It's not a bad thing, yeah? I mean... it's nice how much you care." About gummy worms too. Nodnod.

This talk about bumper cars... gave the boy ideas. Ideas that they probably couldn't carry out until they managed to get into the room of requirement. Unless... "Hey, do you... think there'll be any carnivals around this summer?" There were fairs, sure, but carnivals? Alec... had no idea. "Is it hard? Managing a... erm... stall? Activity area?" ... Stop talking? Brilliant idea.

Alec was... very intrigued by this new bought of information. Or the fact that she knew these things. Was he that obvious...? "Really?" He fiddled with the edge of the blanket for a bit, a sheepish expression crossing his face, before looking back over at her. "Not... weird, no. It's really great! I just... I didn't know you knew that." Hair!ruffle.

Of COURSE the seventeen year old did this on purpose. It was all because of the blushing. That was an indication that he was doing something right and... well... the blushing looked great on her, even if she hated it. "Anytime! ... I..." He glanced down at his outfit quickly before smiling. "Thanks?" Casual. He was actually a little surprised that more people hadn't come wearing converses.

"Awesome!" he said, holding out the chocolate éclair and apple wedge towards her. ... Maybe... apples weren't exactly what you'd call a 'dessert'.


Oh. No. He. Didn't.

First the frowning and then the puppy!dog eyes. Seriously, Summers? Ella's own eyes widened and she shook her head at him, knowing he knew how unfair this was. She was a sucker for those eyes. "Quit it," She whispered as she shuffled over and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him briefly. She might have been smiling a bit too despite herself. "You win."

"You are special." Top seeker, representative for Hogwarts, well liked by most everyone...that screamed special to Ella. And it was also pretty special to be able to make something as silly as caring about gummy worms seem like a positive attribute. The blonde smiled a little and shrugged. "If you say so." She'd take his word for it.

Carnivals? Grin! "I don't know but we could look it up? It'd be nice if we could find one nearby." She'd always liked them, especially the Ferris wheels. There was something really cool about being up that high and being able to see all the carnival lights from that vantage point. She smiled a little just thinking about it. Alec's question broke her reverie and she look at him sheepishly, trying to work out what he'd asked. Something...about stalls? OH! "Not too hard. I mean, you sort of just try and make sure no one gets hurt and everyone is having fun." And following the rules. That was important too.

She felt a bit better about things now and Ella smiled a little, playing with the hem of her dress absently. "Well now you know?" And she was allowed to know the little things, right? Girlfriends should know this kind of stuff. It had to be in the handbook somewhere.

"You're welcome." It was true even if he didn't think so. Alec always looked nice. Something about his face complimenting any outfit. His hair too. It all just worked.

The chocolate éclair was taken and the boyfriend got a GRIN because that was a solid choice. Apple wedges were good too and she couldn't exactly refuse them so she took one and placed it on her knee for later. See? She liked what he'd picked out. "Thanks! It looks good, doesn't it?" NOM!
