🌹 Rose Giving Down the Line

[Xinyi Huang]

Apparently, Hufflepuffs were a common factor for Xinyi today. He walked further down the table, to a group of boys. "Excuse me, is one of you- erm- Manaia?" He looked at his list, pronouncing the name carefully before looking back up to see if any of them responded to his inquiry.

 

[Manaia Te Rangi]

Manaia had given up on avoiding roses, though he was still trying to eat as quickly as possible. The Great Hall seemed to be the place the most of them were being exchanged, and he was eager to avoid that. So when he heard his name called out his mouth was entirely full of steak-and-kidney pie. "HGGH!" Manaia called out around his mouthful, raising his hand as he tried to swallow as quickly as he could. "Over here!"

 

[Xinyi Huang]

Xinyi spotted the boy when he raised his hand, and hurried over. "H-hello, I have a rose for you," He spoke, pulling the yellow blossom out of his basket and offering it out to the boy.

Spoiler: Note

Thanks for being a cool and awesome bandmate and friend! Happy Valentine’s day dude!


From,

Nolan

Manaia quickly wiped the crumbs and smears of pie from his face as the boy approached, trying to pretend he was totally composed and normal and hadn't almost suffocated himself on pastry. "Thanks." He said quickly, accepting the rose and glancing at the note. He smiled, glad Nolan had thought of him today, and made a mental note to thank his bandmate later.

Xinyi smiled shyly at the older boy. "You're welcome," he managed shyly, before adding a soft "Happy Valentines day," and turning to leave.
