 That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
"That almost makes me want to gift you some more pets, sir," Cornelius said, his dimply smile making an appearance. The boy was suddenly struck by something when he said 'sir'. His dad would be highly disappointed in him. Not that he cared...but he really did. Proper introductions.
"I'm Cornelius Orion Baltazar, by the way," he said, standing up and extending a hand towards the man. He'd seen him at the ball, but you know, when one had a gorgeous girlfriend all eyes and attention were on her.
Green eyes were now studying the older man for a reaction. For words. For answers he desperately sought. Cornelius hadn't dared ask his dad. Xavier Baltazar would recite his love story with his mother and, even though it was one of the novel-worthy stories, Cornelius was bored of it. If he asked his mother he'd devastate her poor heart because she was no longer the only woman in his heart. And his sisters, well...Yvonne had no time what with her kids and her agency. Yvette was all the way in Egypt and uptight, and most likely wouldn't care. Yvanna...well, Yvanna was modeling somewhere. That leaves Peyton. Where she would be the perfect candidate to ask, she was like their father and would recite her love story with Seth. Great story, but he's heard it countless of times.
Huh. Cornelius kind of wanted his own. His own love story.
A love story with Azura???
His eyes had strayed for a bit, but they were soon back on the librarian. The boy listened intently at the edge of his seat. Comparing what Mister Books said to what...his friend felt. One name popped up every time. One face, one person. A beautiful pair of dazzling purple eyes that made his heart go wild...
All be...damn.
His life didn't revolve around Quidditch anymore...
...And he was missing her already...
Cornelius licked his lips, carefully processing the information.
His bum scoot closer to the edge of the seat. A little more and he'll be on the floor. "I'm--I mean, my friend. My friend isn't too young to feel that? And how do you tell love and lust apart?" All. The. Questions.
