♥Dunkin | Pixie's Precious Pea | kpop goddess | sneaky sounder | forever slytherin♥ "It's not hard to make my hair longer than yours," he said lightly, with a glance at hers. "Might have been longer than yours even before... it was getting kinda shaggy."
She liked it. He couldn't help but chuckle at that; for some reason he found that immensely amusing. He would admit to himself that it didn't look bad, even when it was just... there, hanging all about. It did strike him that it seemed to be only a handful of girls, the majority from Ravenclaw, that had strong opinions about his head either way.
"Maybe I'll keep it a bit... dunno, though. If it gets in the way, then it has to go." And he was sure Cela would want it short at her wedding, something he would fully submit to. He'd already be on the wrong side of the aisle.
His free hand touched the mask again, making sure the seams over his nose were still fitted where they were meant to be. It felt... odd. A mask. He couldn't remember ever having worn one before, and it felt strange as it pressed lightly against his features. Strange, and yet comfortable, in a way. It was an amusing thing to know that hiding merely a part of his face would conceal his identity enough that Nia couldn't tell who he was without closer inspection.
"Your best is entirely enough." He was beginning to get that nagging feeling. That he had already ruined her night, just by his existence. He didn't like that. The boy turned his head slightly, looking down at her, and his voicer lowered to a whisper again. "Nobody else knows I'm here, do they now."
Merlin willing, it'll stay that way.
"If I were here for them, they'd know." He probably wouldn't have worn the mask, then. Heh. He was going to resist the smile that threatened to appear at her batting, but it wasn't worth the effort. Nia deserved smiles. "I can't make any promises, but I can surely try."
Did he want to add anything? Hidden expression thoughtful, he considered. What was there to add?
"No. 'cept you're more Slytherin than I gave you credit for." |
