Don't Pull Away

[Wyatt Finch]

Wyatt knew it was probably bad karma to go by the Room of Requirement as much has he had in the past year but he couldn't stop himself from doing so once more. It was his favourite spot in the castle after he, Asaiah and Marisol had figured it out. Most of the time he'd used it as a place to be completely and entirely alone but today he asked the room for comfort. When he walked in he could see a couch with pink fuzzy pillows on it that looked like it would comfortably swallow him whole if he needed it, he saw a table filled with the fixings to make a sundae, teddybears and he sighed contently. As he walked in further the room's scent enveloped him, reminding him of the sea in such a strong way that he could only know it would be because it was something that comforted him. The room had provided a few things that he didn't really grasp but he couldn't complain too much about as he sat on the fuzzy, soft pink couch and closed his eyes for a moment, it felt like the outside world had ceased to exist and for a moment the sad boy was happy.

 

[Asaiah Murphy]

Asaiah did not know that his best pal would be here nor was he going to leave because of it. It had been some time since the two last hung out with each other so to come across Wyatt in this place of all places must have been a sign from the universe to go sit next to him and start a conversation, which he was more than happy to do. As he stepped into the room, a familiar scent entered his nose, which vaguely reminded him of the time he spent the summer vacation with one of his closest friends from school. Whilst looking around the room, he could not help to notice a couple of things that made him feel comfortable, such as his favourite detective books as well as a copy of a history of magic but also a guitar. ''That couch have room for one more?'' Asaiah asked his pal with a small smile displayed on his face when he turned back to him, already feeling a lot better than when he made his way over to the Room of Requirement.

Wyatt was surprised to hear something, and even more when he heard that it was a familiar voice talking to him. He opened his blue eyes and looked over at his bro, someone he'd barely spoken to in the past year and a half and had seen about as frequently. Guilt was etched on his face as he shifted so that Asaiah could sit on the fuzzy pink couch with him. There were not a lot of things that gave him comfort but this was it. The only thing that could make this better was mounds of food but he'd settle. "Hey dude," he said, trying not to sound as bad as he felt especially after he'd told Marisol and not his other best friend. Somehow Wyatt felt that if he told Asaiah what he was going on he'd be told to toughen up, to be a man and Wyatt wasn't sure he could handle that but for now he could pretend that nothing was wrong with him. "How've you been?" he asked, curious but also gladly taking the pressure off of himself.

 

[Asaiah Murphy]

Asaiah bumped his fist against his pal's shoulder to greet him as he let himself sink into the fuzzy pink couch and grinned at him, feeling glad that Wyatt was here as well since he had been dying to be around his friend and chill with him without having their other best friend around also. He shrugged his shoulders when his friend asked him how he'd been doing and said, ''All right, I guess.'' the Slytherin had been doing better ever since talking (mentioning really) about the death in his family so to say that he was doing all right seemed fair to him. They'd never been big on talking about emotions towards each other so Asaiah hoped that they would stay far away from anything related to that kind of stuff today as well because he just wanted to hang out with his pal and reminisce about the past as they came close to ending another school year. As he grew older, Asaiah found himself thinking back to his previous years at Hogwarts more often. Education was coming to an end soon and he wasn't sure if he was going to be all right once this chapter would be closed since it'd offered him a lot of structure and consistency over the years. ''What about you?'' he asked.

Wyatt nodded his head at Asaiah, glad he seemed okay even though there was a bit of guilt in not knowing certainly. If the trio was proof of anything it was that you really never knew what a person was going through in private and he hoped that it was true that his best bro was doing well. But not pressing on the subject all the same he answered, "Fine." Even if that was not the truth. "I'm glad we found this place," he told Asaiah honestly even though he didn't entirely know how such a room could exist. The level of magic needed to make a space in a castle was just insane to the American.
