Rosettes

[Tholomyes Fontaine]

Tholomyes was looking forward to this so much, while last year he'd gone solo Theo had suggested to Emma that they go together and he was so excited to be able to go with her. The young Ravenclaw was dressed easily, a formal but ultimately rather plain navy suit, his hair had been brushed but given how unruly and curly it could become it didn't really look like he'd done much. The boy was stood at the hall's entrance, smiling in an almost uncharacteristically Theo fashion because he was just so excited, he had had fun in the last yuleball with Madeline, and had he not decided to go with Emma he would've definitely tried to find her in the ball, they always had fun together, and these were the kind of events they had the most fun. He straightened his suit for what seemed like the hundredth time, just keeping his gaze on the stairs, waiting for his closest friend to arrive at the ball. Tholomyes was more than certain that they would have the best time, although really to him any time with Emma was time exceedingly well spent. The Ravenclaw shifted his weight from foot to foot, excited for this and just eagerly waiting for her to arrive.

One thing that Emma Snow had a hard time with, was the fact that her black flats did not want to stay buckled or on her feet. They were not too big, but she was used to running around, and being in one place, walking slowly, was not in her forte. She slowly made her way down the stairs, before gaining some speed. She was already running a minute late. And her flat fell off, again! Emma was getting a little frustrated, but she managed to make it to the ground floor, before her eyes fell on Theo once more. And he was wearing a navy suit. She was glad that the two of them at least matched in some degree. Emma walked up to him and beamed, “Theo! You look dashing! Come on, let’s go!” She reached for his hand and went to tug him into the Great Hall to dance. She could not want to enjoy herself with her best friend. Well, one of her best friends. One she liked to snuggle with a lot.

Tholomyes' entire face lit up in a smile as he noticed Emma, her navy dress matching his suit and he gladly allowed her to take his hand as they went inside, he couldn't take his eyes off her, "You look beautiful," he said to her as they entered the room, and he decided that it would be best if they just went and danced, so he decided to take the lead for once and led her to the dance floor, finding an easy spot and assuming a position to dance, he placed a nervous hand on her waist as he guided the dance to begin with knowing that soon Emma's excitement would probably take control of it and be the one to lead the dancing, though really Theo would not mind such a thing. She was his closest friend at this school, she didn't mind his antics, was so energetic and a lovely light in his life. The young Ravenclaw twirled her under his arm and grinned so happily at her, it didn't matter how long he had waited for her, because spending time with her made it worth it.

Emma could hardly take her eyes off of Theo. He was beautiful, artistic, and slowly awkward. At least, in her eyes. She giggled as a response to him complimenting her looks. She did work really hard on her hair, since it was known to being straight. She hated it at the same time, but she could not resist it. She did bear a resemblance to the beautiful Alyssa, so her looks must have come from her father. But then again, her mother was gorgeous too, so maybe it was from her? Well, when her parents looked as good as they did, their offspring could only be beautiful too. And blonde no doubt. Emma gladly danced, but her laughter rang throughout the area as he twirled her. That is, until her shoe slipped off and caused her laughter to end. Emma sighed before breaking away from Theo for a short moment. She took off her flats, and placed them in her purse. Her purse was hardly big enough but it had her wand too. Emma threw her arms around Theo’s neck and smiled, “I’m trusting you to not step on my toes. I dance better without shoes anyway.” Emma couldn’t help but notice just how close they were. It made her feel super warm, almost to where a light rosy color appeared on her cheeks.

The ravenclaw thought her beautiful, he couldn't believe this was his closest friend, someone as kind and lovely as her who wanted to spend time with him, spinning her underneath his arm he could help but smile at her laughter, the sweet sound that seemed to fill his ears. Tholomyes was a little confused when she broke off from him and began doing something with her shoes. He became a little concerned about her feet and if they might get trampled on. Theo didn't however say anything, the smile not leaving his face as she then threw her arms around his neck and smile, his own hands instinctively finding their way to her waist and he smiled back at her, "I'll try my best," he replied enjoying for a brief moment the closeness of them, "Or you know," he took a small reluctant step back and pulled off his own shoes, unlike her he didn't have a bag to place them in so he wondered off the dance floor to a table and placed them underneath before walking back to her quickly, letting his arms resettle on her waist, "Now if I do, it'll be less sore," Theo said with a small grin, once again moving to twirl her underneath his arm.
