🌹 Rose Giving A Yellow Rose for a Pretty Girl

[Augustus Westwick]

Augustus had saved this last rose for last, both because he was nervous and because he hoped he could linger around and maybe talk to Nicole a little longer. That would be great, if scary. He asked a Slytherin to get Nicole from the common room, waiting anxiously for her to arrive.

Nicole had retreated to the common room just to have a moment to process what had just happened. She'd gotten three pink roses today, and not just that, Ajax had actually asked her out with his. Or at least asked her to the dance. She'd just been preparing to throw herself dramatically onto her bed to sigh for a bit when someone said there was someone looking for her out in the corridor. Either it was another rose maybe Emma or Jenna had come to gush about Valentine's. Either way, Nicole was still excited, straightening out her uniform before heading out to meet them.

"Oh. It's you. Hi..." she said cautiously when she spotted Ryan's weird, little friend. "Does Ryan need something?"

 

[Augustus Westwick]

Augustus blushed at the sight of Nicole. He wondered how she got her hair to be so shiny. "Hi." He mumbled. "I'm... uh, not here for Ryan." He said then, feeling awkward. "Here." He then said, holding out the yellow rose.

Love ya! Thanky for everything. Jenna

Nicole was surprised to see Augustus was delivering roses, it didn't exactly seem like talking to people was in his wheelhouse, but Nicole still took the rose he had happily. "Oh, thank you," she said, taking the rose and smiling brightly at the note from Jenna. She'd definitely need to get with her and Emma to talk over everything that had happened today. "Uh, Happy Valentine's," she added, somewhat belatedly, remembering Augustus was still there and quietly wishing Ryan didn't have such a knack for befriending weird kids she didn't know how to talk to.

Augustus smiled as Nicole thanked him, putting his hands behind his back because he wasn't sure what else to do with them. He blinked at her. "Happy Valentine's." He returned, hoving there for a moment longer. Maybe she wanted to say something else to him? He wanted to keep the conversation going but had no idea how.

 

[Nicole Fisk]

Nicole glanced up again, realizing Augustus was still standing there looking at her. She smiled at him, though it felt a little strained, and glanced back down, pretending to be invested in her rose for a moment longer before looking back up again. "Um. Did you need something else?" She asked slowly, wondering if she could go back to her common room or if Augustus wanted to stand there and stare some more.

 

[Augustus Westwick]

Augustus blinked at Nicole, trying to find something to say. He wondered if she had gotten his rose yet, though he could hardly ask. "Uh, your hair looks pretty today." Was what actually left his mouth. He flushed brightly, taking a horrified step back. "I... have to go."

 

[Nicole Fisk]

It was Nicole's turn to blink before glancing away and running a hand over her hair. "Oh. Alright.. Thank you?" she said, unsure how to respond to the compliment before Augustus made a face and started to leave. "Right, okay. See you," she said, relieved that she could make her own exit finally after that awkward encounter, clutching her rose close as she stepped back to the common room.
