Fabian groaned, relieved that at least he wasn't alone in the hell of Expressing Feelings. "I mean, at first I was just messing with you, but... I don't know, I never thought it was possible, so...." He gave a pained shrug, fidgeting with a teaspoon. "Never thought it was.... worth taking...

Fabian couldn't help wincing, eyes flicking down in embarrassment for a moment. "I... look I was mostly doing that because I liked how much it annoyed you. I was being a d*ck. I never... it wasn't real." He sighed shakily, running a hand through his hair and only managing to muss it up more...

Fabian couldn't help a small laugh. "We can't all be as smooth as me." He teased, despite feeling like the least smooth person in the world in this moment. What was it about Tyler that completely tore apart every defense mechanism he had? "I, ah... I did think I hadn't been terribly subtle...

Fabian's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he wondered if he was actually dreaming. "Oh..." was all he could manage, blinking at Tyler from across the kitchen island. An island that felt far too big all of a sudden. "Well, let's- then, there's nothing stopping you?" He said with a...

For as confident as he played it, the one thing Fabian never felt entirely safe around was an insecure straight man. He felt his hackles start to rise as Tyler got angrier, instinctively glancing to where he had left his wand, wondering how casually he could get away with strolling over and...

Fabian winced slightly at the tone of Tyler's voice. Of all the people, he had never expected Tyler to want to talk about feelings. "Never tell an Englishman that tea can wait." He said as he abandoned the cups, hoping his usual charming facade was holding firm. His smile dipped slightly at...

Fabian was glad to be facing away as he prepared the tea, able to hide the twitch in his face. He shook his head quickly, trying and failing to sound normal as he spooned sugar into his cup. "I don't know what you're talking about." He said a little too smoothly. "I'm never hurt." He picked...

Fabian couldn't help a small laugh, setting down his whiskey as he entered the small kitchen area and set the kettle boiling by hand, too lazy to cross the room and pick up his wand. "Well, that's true, but I was referring to something a bit more alcoholic." He said idly, reaching up to get...

Fabian couldn't hold in a small snort of laughter at Tyler's apology, a small, genuine smile sneaking its way onto his face for a moment. "Well, as you can see I was on my way to a gala, but I suppose I can make time for you." He said, relaxing a little as he managed to capture back his usual...

Fabian didn't want to admit it, but somewhere along the line he had changed. Life had been so easy back in England - partying, guys, the easy life; none of it had really mattered, he would just glide from one fun thing to the next without ever looking back. But now... the change had been so...

Fabian's schemes didn't often backfire, he was generally good at reading people. This one had definitely been too far. A shame, since under any other circumstances he would be eager to have a nice, long conversation with Blake. Reluctantly, and surprisingly even to himself, he had to admit...

This situation was delicious, and Fabian couldn't quite keep his glee contained as he looked back and forth between Blake and Tyler in feigned awe. "You know him?!" He asked Tyler in disbelief, relishing his officemate's expression. If he could, he would bottle that face and have a glassful...

Fabian ignored Tyler's protest, smirking slightly. "Oh, so you're in his secret society." He smirked slightly. "I hope you at least got him a nice wedding gift." Speak of the devil - Fabian's thoughts of a particularly funny gift he could insinuate Tyler had picked out were interrupted all...

Fabian laughed lightly at the comment, leaning back in his seat. "You're probably right. Hell, there's probably a whole secret society back in the UK looking to ruin my life. I expect I'm lucky I got out when I did." He said with a small smile, before taking another bite of his sandwich. He...

Fabian chuckled, giving Tyler a teasing wink. "Oh come off it, we both know I'm fascinating." He grinned, thinking on the prompt for a moment. "Hmm, alright. I was close friends with this Ravenclaw girl in my first couple of years, we were both... well, I wasn't really shy, but we weren't...
