Open Are We Together Now?

[Daintree Vaskevold]

Daintree hadn’t really expected an in time response to the questions he’d asked Tres in his rose, but she’d been bugging him with the insistance of them being together for a little while. And though he had been planning on it, it had made it a little more pressing even if he refused to recognise it as that. He had asked her to the ball and to be his girlfriend. It felt odd, that soon he’d have a girlfriend. He knew others in his year were beginning to pair up and it was important for his status to be with someone too, even if he didn’t particularly think it would end with them remaining together forever, or even that long. He knew for now, he needed her and he was sure she needed him. He’d gone out of his way over the break on their date, making sure that he was wooing and impressing as much as he could with her. He didn’t want her to think he didn’t care. He had money to spare. He straightened out his suit as he waited for Tres to appear. He had a little gift for her, if she accepted both, just wanting to keep impressing and liking him. Daintree hoped he wouldn’t be waiting much longer. ​

Tres was wearing one of the dresses that Daintree had bought for her in the last few weeks, although she'd been waiting for that evening to actually wear it. Between the Yule Ball and now, she'd seen so much of the Slytherin that it felt very normal that he'd asked her to be his girlfriend in his rose that day. Of course she'd been very excited to make things official, and had been eagerly doing her best with her hair and make up to make sure she looked the best she could possibly be for tonight. The last thing she wanted to do was turn up and have Daintree regret his offer, and she enjoyed being around him much too much for that to be an option. She wondered whether the rest of the Slytherin Quidditch team would be there too. Surely they wouldn't expect a third year to have a girlfriend yet, so it would probably look good for Daintree too if they saw them together. Between the people she could meet on the team, and being friends with Simon on the Ravenclaw team, Tres was very confident that she had at least two house teams now that she could probably wiggle her way into the social circle of, if she ever had the desire or need to. Perhaps knowing Lysander gave her an edge for Gryffindor too. Making her way into the Great Hall, she had a smile on her face as she found Daintree, making her way over to him as smoothly as she possibly could in her heels. "Hi Dain," she flashed her pearly white teeth at him in a wide smile, "I got your rose," she said, not wasting any time in beating around the bush.​

Daintree glanced as she arrived wearing one of the dresses that he had bought for her during their date. ”Hey Tres, you look really good, nice choice of dress,” The boy hadn’t cared what he was buying, it had made her happy and that was all that mattered. He smiled at her, ”Good, and what’s your answer?” he asked her, he was sure that it would be the right one, the one he was expecting. The teen was sure that it would be a yes to both, she came right over to him and she was wearing the dress that he had bought. The slytherin wasn’t going to admit that he was a little nervous about it. He hoped that she wouldn’t be too odd about, she seemed to get very excited about things and she’d been pretty keen to him about all of this. He then held out his hand to her, ”Shall we dance?” he then said with a keen tone. He hoped they would be able to move quickly, he wanted to show off with her and hoped that people would notice it.​

Tres lit up when Daintree commented on her dress and she twirled a little for him so he could see it from every angle. It had been a good purchase for sure. She knew she looked good but it was still nice to hear it. “So do you Dain,” she said, always loving seeing how he dressed up for these kind of events. He always looked good. “My answer?” She paused for a moment, before coming closer towards him and laying both hands on his shoulders, she closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his. It was only for a second, but it felt like it was important. She’d liked being around him for a long time and after he’d asked her to be his girlfriend she didn’t feel like she was going to be pushed away. “Well of course I will!” She said, pulling away slightly and smiling up at him. Her hand slid into his, “Let’s,” she said suddenly extra excitedly, pulling him further towards the dance floor. This was the bit she knew they were good at, after all they’d had a lot of practise.​

Daintree wondered what she would say, but he didn’t get a verbal answer instead she put her hands on his shoulders and leaned in to give him a kiss on the lips. It was a short kiss, but that felt like a yes, it would have to be, only people who kissed were together in some form. He smiled into the kiss and smiled as she pulled away, He couldn’t really believe that he had a girlfriend. His girlfriend put her hand in his and she began pulling him to the dance floor. He nodded and let himself for a moment just be dragged by her, pretending he had some reluctance, but it was a little exciting. He’d never dated before and he’d never been a boyfriend, he’d never even thought that hard about if he’d wanted girlfriend, it had just been the right time for it. Tres had been the right girl for it. He liked her enough that he could see this working for a bit, and dancing with his girlfriend at a dance would be good. He followed after her and then as they got to the dance floor, he put his hand on her waist and began dancing with her. It was easy. Nice. ”How have you gotten better at this in just two months,” he joked.​

Tres hadn’t ever kissed anyone before, however briefly, nor had she had a boyfriend before but this seemed like the right next step for them and she thought that really it was well overdue. They had liked each other for months after all. It was fun though, not even Uno had had a boyfriend before, and while she hadn’t decided whether or not to tell Momma Dos and Tres about Daintree yet, she knew that would at least give her a one up against her favourite sister. She smiled at her boyfriend, moving in time to the music and giggling lightly at his compliment, how was he always so sweet? “Oh, I don’t know,” she did, she’d been practising and watching videos outside of the school for such events, but she wasn’t about to tell him that, instead letting him believe it might be her natural talent. “I’m not the only one,” she added, impressed with how his rhythm seemed to be more in time since the Yule Ball. Tres glanced around the room, wondering who was able to see them like this, she was with the cutest member of the Quidditch team. She twirled under his arm, trying to use her dress and hair to distract others to look in their direction and notice them for a moment. “Have you told your friends about me?” She asked curiously, retaking his shoulder.​

It seemed like the compliment was definitely the right thing to say to her. He had watched his brother with girlfriend and his father with his mother, he had seen how they do things so he was just being sure to compliment at times when it seemed like it worked, and it had a good effect on her. He gave a little laugh as she said that he too had improved, ”Only because I’ve got a good dance partner,” he said, his tone was light, both meaning his words to some degree but joking with her too. He let her spin under his arm and then shook his head, ”Well, not about us now being together, I’ve brought up the date we had,” he told her, the former had just happened, they had just got together. But he got the impression that she would like to show off, and he felt that too, that it would be necessary for him to show people he had a girlfriend, even if he did so just by telling people or having her on his arm at times. ”Have you told your friends?” he returned the question to her, quite keen to know the answer to it. ​
