 Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch
His face scrunched up ever so slightly when Maggie told him that he needed to be more flexible and that he should have found it odd that Zeke had asked him to come out on Valentine's Day. Frankie quickly brushed the questioning of his flexibility to the side. He had no patience or desire for that, being someone who was used to getting what he wanted when he wanted it. However, the last bit, shockingly, made sense. He didn't think twice about the meeting date; he didn't even consider the fact that Zeke was up to something. But, naturally, he wasn't going to admit that Maggie Traulton was right. He'd go to Azkaban before doing that.
Right then and there, everything clicked in the blond's mind. Zeke asking him to meet on Valentine's Day ... the appearance of Maggie and Hady ... Zeke and Maggie making out in front of them and asking for privacy ... that stupid grin still plastered on Maggie's face ... this was all a ploy to make Hady and him an item. He didn't know which he thought was worse: his roommate and his girlfriend making out in front of him or the fact that they were trying to play matchmaker with two people that didn't feel those mushy feelings for each other. Unless...
Frankie sat in his seat, casually sipping his butterbeer away, in total silence after Maggie and Zeke had left. Every now and then, he couldn't help but quickly glance at Hady and let his thoughts wander. The mastermind behind all of these was clearly Maggie (since Zeke was merely a passive puppet), but there was something missing. Why would she go through all the trouble? There had to have been more beyond the surface. And now he had a hunch that the source was sitting right next to him. She might not have known about the setup, but something must have been said to get Maggie to do her thing.
"So..." the boy started, his index finger trailing along the rim of his empty mug. But no other words came out of his mouth. Frankie, for once, didn't know what to say. He had not a clue how to react to what quickly had become such an awkward situation.
