♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ The young man took a deep breath. A real one. It actually filled his whole lungs and everything. This hadn't happened in a few minutes, so it was a very, very welcome relief. He... he had a plan. An idea. And he'd... he'd just go on with that and things would be okay and this tournament wasn't going to kill him.
There was the terminal optimism!
"I'm... I'm okay. Just needed a minute to kinda... take it all in."
When Lexi let go of him, Raiden pulled his shirt a bit, straightening it all out again. She was like, really worried about him, wasn't she. It was almost confusing, but... well she'd been weird at him on the train, too. He was coming to expect this odd behaviour from her.
"It's fine," he said, mustering a smile and giving her a little pat on the shoulder. She was like fourteen wasn't she, you weren't supposed to pat fourteen year olds on the head. "You're not the first to... er... grab me."
When she slipped off, Raiden's attention went to Kellen again. The prefect rubbed the back of his neck anxiously, looking around the crowd of students in case any more were thinking about sneak glomping him.
"I... Are you as surprised about this as I am?" Kellen did not look surprised. Like at all. |
