⋆˚꩜｡          i    never    said    that   i    didn't    think    you    would.     i    just..    [     couldn't    help    but    be    in    love    and    do    exactly    that.     couldn't    help    but    hope    as    if    his    life    depended    on    it.     he    supposes    it    does,     in    a    way.     or,     it    did.     it    doesn't    care    as    much    now.     his    voice    wobbles    and    shakes    as    he    speaks.     ]     i    just    didn't    think    you'd    be    stupid    enough    to    go    this    far.

@dedicarters              it's a  surprise  you  were  naive  enough  to  believe  i  wouldn't  support the  cause  my  father  has  supported  for  years.  it's a  surprise  you  didn't   think  of  me  the  way  you  should  have.    /thats/  a  surprise.    i  mean,  seriously,  did  you  really  think  i'd   be  stupid  enough  to  not  support  his  cause?   i  was  practically  born  into  it,  carter. 

⋆˚꩜｡          [      he    asked    for    it    and    he    still    looks    away,     eyes    closed    as    if    he    is    the    one    in    pain.     well,    he    is,     but    so    is    sebastian    just    the    same.     ]     because    i    would    / want /    my    best    friend    to    be    on    the    other    side    of    what    i    fight    for.     definitely.     i    mean    that    you're    you.     a    slytherin    that    comes    from    nothing    but    magic.     its    a    surprise    you    even    let    me    stick    around.

⋆˚꩜｡            eliza    howard    asked    me    out.     ravenclaw.     and    i    don't    think    you'd    like    who    i    like,     because    they're    from    gryffindor.     im    sorry!     but    who    are    you    friends    with    that    isn't    in    slytherin?     and    isn't    me,     either.

@dedicarters           both.  who  asked  you  out,  and  who  do  you  like.    are  you   implying  i'm  friendless?   that's  rude.  

⋆˚꩜｡            who    is    it..     i    like    or    who    asked    me    out?     i    have    friends    basically    everywhere.     especially    compared    to    you. 

⋆˚꩜｡            [     he    doesn't    let    go,     even    as    he    turns    around,     leading    the    way    to    the    hufflepuff    dorms.     ]     enough    to    stop    a    war.     people    would    stop    just    to    listen    and    appreciate.

@dedicarters            *  though  he  was  very  anti  fleetwood  mac,  he'd  let   carter  pull  him  along.  *   you're  lucky  i  like  you.    this  better  be  revolutionary  music. 

⋆˚꩜｡            come    / on! /     [     he    takes    sebastian's    hands,     already    beginning    to    pull.     ]     i    wont    make    you    listen    to    anything    else! 

⋆˚꩜｡            not    when    you    refuse    to    do    fun    stuff.     we    can    do    that!     if    you    start    moving!     so    come    on    already,     seb!

@dedicarters            i   /am/   lots  of  fun,  thank  you.  i  just  don't  want  my  teeth  to  fall  out.  maybe ill  have  one  piece.   as  long  as  you  pick  it  out  for me. 

⋆˚꩜｡            let's    start    going,     / pleasee? /     not    even    a    little    bit,     from    one    candy?     it    wouldn't    kill    you    to    be    a    little    fun,     seb.

⋆˚꩜｡            yeah,     i    guess    so.     it'd    take    forever    to    get    all    this    clean    if    it    was    just    one    of    us.     if    it    even    got    finished.

@dedicarters            but     at  least  we  aren't  doing  this  alone,  yes?  i'd  rather   be  with someone.    better  than  cleaning  in   silence. 

⋆˚꩜｡            well —     i —     darn.     fun?     you    said    it    yourself,     we    could    be    doing    so    many    more    things    that    are    better    right    now.
