@[R] Byun BaekHyun Jisoo dipped and covered his mouth as he covered a quiet chuckle at Baekhyun's speech. "All right. Hyung will try." His cheeks hurt from suppressing a grin that was fighting to show. It showed anyway when he faced the girl. "Good luck with practice." He then gave parting glances at the two before he stepped out into the hallway.
[Should we go to potion classes afterwards??? They can chat about their practices in class lol]
@[S] Kim JiSoo The girl cracked a smile, muttering a quick 'he's a good one, keep him' to Baekhyun as she flounced off to retrieve her broomstick and her training clothes. Baekhyun straightened up again, giving Jisoo a bright smile and hoping that his cheeks weren't as pink as they felt. "Okay. Thanks, Jisoo hyung." His voice dropped to a whisper. "You, too. Remember not to get mad at those girls," he reminded him seriously, reaching out to squeeze his hand.
@[R] Byun BaekHyun Laughing inside, Jisoo displayed a subdued smile to both of them. "Indeed, hand in hand" he said, seemingly without a care. Then learning of the other's practice, he turned towards Baekhyun to say, "I should get going then. Don't forget to eat okay?" He then covered his silent speech from the girl with a hand caving at his mouth, which was "See you later. Take care."
@[S] Kim JiSoo Baekhyun just nodded, shrinking a bit and just praying to whoever would hear him that his friends would just forget he was even there. "Yeah," he muttered. "Very beautiful. Of course."
The girl just laughed. "I think beautiful and handsome go well together. They go well 'hand-in-hand', I should say." She gave a little wink. "We've got about five more minutes before Quidditch," she told Baekhyun offhandedly, her tone a bit more business-like.
@[R] Byun BaekHyun Jisoo's head bobbed a little as he bantered, failing to keep a straight face. "Oh no, honey. He's handsome. Me? I'm beautiful." He turned to his friend who was melting at his side. "Right Baek?"
@[S] Kim JiSoo ((a kiss on the cheek would destro y him rn))
Jisoo's comeback just made poor Baek's face burn even hotter. He tried to make it look as though he didn't exist.
The girl raised an eyebrow. "Two handsome guys. Don't sell yourself short like that." This was something interesting; a Slytherin and a Ravenclaw in a battle of wits.
@[R] Byun BaekHyun Jisoo blew a mute whistle and shoved his hands into his pockets. As the girl tittered, he gave her an indignant stare. Welcome to the game of Pretend Nothing Happened. "Yah!" He said, holding his laughter. "Why are you giggling? Never seen a handsome guy before?"
[I'm cackling Baek's so cute he deserves a kiss or two on the cheek]
@[S] Kim JiSoo Baekhyun stared at his female friend for a moment, before letting out a nervous laugh to ease the tension. "Okay~! Well- he's technically not supposed to be here, so why don't we offer him something to eat or drink?" His only response is a -eating grin, and he soon realized his mistake- they were still holding hands. He let out a little yelp of embarrassment, dropping Jisoo's hand and covering his crimson face with both hands.
@[R] Byun BaekHyun Jisoo simply responded with a "thanks, I'm good" but if they were alone he would probably nodded with a big yes even though he already ate breakfast before going to the infirmary.
There was something about the girl that made Jisoo want to avoid her at all cost, not for serious reasons though. She was somewhat dangerous to his sangfroid. He directed a smile towards her in return, totally forgetting the fact that he and their mutual friend were still holding hands. He said with a chuckle, "I don't know how to respond to that but thanks, I guess."
@[S] Kim JiSoo ((Nice I'm sure jisoo is very 'hungry'
Baekhyun laughed at the concerned look that Jisoo shot him. "I'm not hungry. But I'm sure we have some food there, you could have some if you like." Sometimes he could see just a little bit of cuteness in the older student's demeanor, and though he'd never do it in front of him, he felt like squealing. The minute they stepped into the room, the girl from before stood up from a couch- she'd gotten up earlier because she was also on the Quidditch team- and shot Jisoo a little smile. "Knew we could trust you to return him," she proclaimed with a crafty tone.
@[R] Byun BaekHyun Jisoo gave Baekhyun the look that says 'You sure? All right then.' He wanted his friend to be careful because they still had a potion class to go to later. Jisoo was almost giddy at the thought and could almost have a bounce in his step as Baekhyun led him to his room. "Oh by the way are you hungry?" He suddenly asked, straight out of his mind.
@[S] Kim JiSoo Baekhyun tried to match his steps with Jisoo's, a proud look on his face as he only stumbled once. He held carefully to his hand, glad for the extra contact. "I'll be fine," he assured him. "I'm at least going to try to go to Quidditch practice."
(( IT WAS LIT. I was in a performance of it two years ago so I lowkey am always hype about cats
@[R] Byun BaekHyun "What kind of rumors should there be?" Jisoo laughed in frustration. "But okay. It's like, a whole new experience for me. I /just/ hope they're asleep right now because you still have to rest some more." When they were at the landing, Jisoo grabbed Baekhyun's hand again and walked closely beside him. That way it was faster but at the same time like a walk it the park.
[I just woke up. XD nice to hear you enjoyed. Was it breathtaking?]
@[S] Kim JiSoo Baekhyun tried to go a bit faster, frowning a bit as he worked to keep up with Jisoo and his longer legs. He gave the older male a little smile, noticing that he was trying to slow down for him. "There are a few people who might want to meet you. Rumors fly fast, so you should at least talk to them a bit so that they know you didn't hurt me. My friends are a bit protective," he warned him with a laugh.
@[R] Byun BaekHyun [It's okay! Have fun with the musical (?) :D ]
Jisoo didn't. As far as he knows, he has never met anyone like Baekhyun before and if he had, he never had this kind of experience. Another muffled chuckle was heard from the tall male. "It's okay Baek." Jisoo was careful not to walk too fast now that their hands were free. He glanced behind him and waited a few steps so that his friend could catch up.
The sixth and seventh years have a smaller population than the lower grades (due to various reasons) so some of the rooms in the Hogwarts dormitories tend to have fewer occupants. Some were even solo. Even Jisoo had a room all to himself. Anyhow, he needed to know if he would have to meet more people once they get to Baekhyun's, just so he could mentally prepare himself. "Baek," he proceeded to ask, "Are there guys I'm supposed to meet once we're there?"
@[S] Kim JiSoo ((SOrry for late replies, my sister and I are on our way to see Cats <3))
Baekhyun's concerned look turned into a sheepish grin, and his hands wiggled a bit in Jisoo's before they were released. "I'm sure guy friends do it a lot. I just wasn't sure if you wanted that, so I got worried. Sorry!" He wondered if Jisoo had any guy friends like that. Hopefully, they weren't jealous.
@[R] Byun BaekHyun "Yah Baekhyun." Jisoo held Baekhyun's warm hands from his face and chuckled. "Don't worry about your practice and don't worry about me either. I was just joking." He grinned softly and released his friend, resuming to walk with him. "Don't guy friends do that? I think they call it bromance."
@[S] Kim JiSoo "Free time?" Baekhyun wrinkled his nose. "But I need the practice whenever I can get it. I'm not exactly the biggest asset to the Ravenclaw team." He let out a little huff of air, trying to come up with a way that he would be able to make up for missing a practice. Jisoo's little comment brought him back to his senses, and his gaze snapped over to look at the taller student with an expression of horror. "Oh... no, Jisoo, they got you too!" He leaned up, releasing Jisoo's hand so that he could take hold of his cheeks, staring into his eyes. "Don't worry, I'm sure there's some of the antidote left..."
@[R] Byun BaekHyun ["It doesn't really do much" haha so cute. AND THERE'S THE SQUEEZE]
Jisoo turned to Baekhyun and withheld a smile. "Still," he said. "Even if they don't let you play it can be a nice thing. You'd have free time." As they approached the impressive flight of stairs of the Ravenclaw dorms, Jisoo held on firmly. He wanted to take him there quickly so his friend can have more time to rest. Baekhyun did wake up too early because of him. As they climbed, Jisoo said, teasing in a way "We look like lovers, right? Good thing we look swell together, huh?"
@[S] Kim JiSoo ((me: laughs about how adorable they were on the set of SHR
clicks through videos ah yes good memories what a wonderful drama
accidentally clicks on baek's death scene
welp))
Baekhyun just laughed. "Honestly, I feel fine. It was just a little bump, and the nurse said that I'm fine now, didn't she?" He straightened up to his full height- it doesn't really do much- and gave Jisoo a reassuring smile. "Of course, we don't have to. I do have to practice with the Quidditch team in a little while, but they know that I might be a little bit late. I have a friend who's on the team who knew about what happened." He rolled his eyes a bit, squeezing Jisoo's hand. "I'd be surprised if they even let me play."
@[R] Byun BaekHyun Being in various clubs for so long, he already forgot that the majority of Hogwarts students had a normal sleeping schedule. He wasn't worried about the Slytherin girls. He'll take care of them later. Actually, the ultimate worst-case scenario would be if they bumped into Jisoo's friends (who also happen to be his clubmates and are most likely awake by now, just like him).
Although Jisoo was very much amused by Baekhyun's suggestion, he had to be responsible and look after his friend. "Baek," he said looking ahead, "you just came from injury. You have to be careful."
@[S] Kim JiSoo Baekhyun stuck out his tongue. "Well, it is a quarter to six. Classes don't start for a while." He slid the love potion gingerly into his pocket, making a mental note to find somewhere to throw it away later. It was a good thing that no one seemed to be out; he was a bit shy about this side of him, as well, and the worst-case scenario would be if one of those Slytherin girls saw the two of them holding hands. A thought occurred to him, and he turned his head to give Jisoo a somewhat crafty look. "Jisoo hyung," he began in a formal tone. "Have you ever wondered what it might feel like to sock-skate down the corridors?"
@[R] Byun BaekHyun "Neh." Jisoo went with his new darling of a friend outside and into the halls. He was anxious as he walked alongside the other male, glancing every now and then. It was a damned if do, damned if I don't situation. He was too shy to be seen like this but at the same time he did not want to let go. "How can everyone still be asleep?" He commented as they passed along the empty corridors. It was a vast amount of space for the both of them.
