"Skylar, are you genuinely worried about that hug?" he asked her, and then he sighed, because this wasn't exactly going how he'd planned. "I was honestly looking for you and Kane. I was really excited to greet you two as I came out the arena. Only, you two were nowhere to be found. Madelyn greeted me and hugged me, and even though we're not together anymore, she's still a good friend."

"I was really disappointed that you weren't there for me. Where were you?" he asked, because one moment he'd been looking everywhere for her, and the next second, he'd seen her leaving the viewing area. "That question wasn't an impulse, Skylar. Do you know why I asked you that at that very moment? Because as you know, a patronus needs a happy memory. While that dementor was in the process of sucking out my soul, I was trying to remember one of my happiest memories, and I remembered our kiss in the igloo."

But if she thought that was weird, then he guessed this was it. "You would have said yes?" he asked. So now that he'd returned Madelyn's hug, everything was over?

But nevertheless, she gave them a moment until Skylar had said her last words.

You know, sometimes it was hard being a third wheel because you just really didn't know what to do when it came to this situation. Merlin, send help.

And then when Brent started recounting what happened to him during the competition, Vivian would've melted. It was cute, okay? But then, maybe it was cute now and maybe not as cute later. It was a good thing that the Headmistress paused the conversation for a moment to announce the results. Aw, man. Too bad Carl didn't make it. But wow at those Ilvermorny students, though. Majority of them were still in the competition. "Congratulations," the blonde said to Brent, because he was still in the running for the title. "But... I think it's not exactly the best time for this?" Maybe give the talk a shot next time? Just not now, when Skylar and Brent were either hurt or confused.

Tugging Sky's arm another time, she looked at her dorm mate first for permission to escort her back to the dorm. Marshmallows, hot cocoa, and coffee sounded good, yeah?


When Brent said Dude and then her name again, in an excitable tone, Skylar perked up, listening to his explanation. Wait, wait, he was looking for her and his brother? Madelyn hugged him? There was something in his tone that told her he was genuine about his words. Where was she? Hiding under her seat, because it felt like everyone was looking at her after that question. Duh.

She had no words though for a response. Her lips open to form words, but nothing came out. Because she felt like an idiot. Because Madelyn was only here another six months, so how stupid would have been to think they'd get back together, when they broke up over the distance in the first place. Especially when he reemphasized on the 'for the record bit'. Because it shouldn't have been past tense. It wasn't past tense.

"I ..." She inhaled and exhaled, before whispering the first thing to come to mind, ignoring Vivian's tugging. "We only kissed on the cheeks." Friends kissed on the cheeks, which technically they were at the time, but that made him happy? "No, no, I would like to date you." There, she said it. And with that, she reached her arms around him and gave him proper kiss.

Now they could go. She was pretty sure Brent needed to change after his challenge. Although she was kind of curious as to what his patronus was, since it seemed to work and since she kind of totally missed it. But there was time for that on that walk back.
