We're Radioactive

[Bituin San Buenaventura]

Bituin thought on what Tybalt said. End as friends? She didn't want that, not in the least. Though he was her first kiss she still wasn't sure exactly what it was to be dating someone. She wondered if he was more experienced and that was why he said everything she wanted him too, like he knew from experience what to say, what to do. But the girl knew that they wouldn't be able to get to know each other well if people like her sister were always badgering them. So much was going through her mind. She was feeling the extremes of so many emotions that it almost made her dizzy. The way his lips felt against hers, it was an entirely knew sensation. It felt wonderful, and the way he held her hand like he'd never let go. Bituin knew she had a crush on him before but now, this was new this was what it felt like to actually be loved by someone else. To have someone want you around. Was it okay to be more than friends alone, but just be friends in front of everyone else? What if another girl came along who Tybalt could be with in front of all the people in school. She feared that he would dump her for that other girl. What about Indiana? They seemed pretty close, would she know about them? Bituin hoped not, she feared more people knowing would mean the more likely for Josefina to find out some how. "Ty, so many options I don't even know where to begin." The girl was confused with herself, all the emotions inside of her was making it hard to decided.

Sighing Bituin brushed her hair out of her face. Slightly touching the place Tybalt's hand had been on cheek. She was sure that she was red in face, but Tybalt wouldn't ever know that. She wondered how in a world with no color she compared to other girls, what made her look to beautiful to him? "I don't want to just be friends with you. But no one can know that, not even Indiana. I think if we want to have something we need to know each other better before we tell the whole world," the girl said in her thoughtful tone as she had thought about it. Her mind was going lightening speed and it seemed like the best solution. Be with him, like this when in private, but then when other's are around just be friends. It wasn't going to be easy she knew, she'd have urges like the one she had that made her kiss him. But Bituin figured it wouldn't be hard to stay away from things like that. She would miss holding his hand and the warmth it gave hers, but she didn't need him to hold her hand all the time. She was B to him and she didn't want to say goodbye to the feelings of wanting him to hold her hand and kiss her. But Josefina couldn't know and that meant no one could know.​

 

[Tybalt Archer]

Tybalt Archer was pretty good at keeping secrets despite his tendency to ramble, he understood when the time called for him to be careful about what he said and to leave things out. After all, he was an Archer, secrets were sort of a strong suit for them. He didn't really want to keep them a secret. He didn't want to have to be careful when around her, really. He sort of wanted to be able to hold her hand down the corridor or sit next to her in class. Kiss her for no reason in front of others. Things like that, that he otherwise would not be able to do. All in all believing that he could just be with her and not think of others. A relationship of just them. Honestly, he believed that was the way it should be. That really nothing good ever came from secrets. His cousin had been kept a secret from his family and well, that hadn't turned out well at all. That was for sure. But in saying all that, in thinking all this the young teen was just happy to be in her company and wanted that to continue so he would sacrifice the idea of them bei g completely public so that they could still be in a relationship with almost no worries. He always knew he'd fear getting caught, and he could hardly deny the fact that it was very likely that The gossip magazine would pick up on them. It was crafty and also had a thing for chasing after him. Always putting him down, which he didn't mind but it was a little frustrating when all he wanted to do was just lead his life without worry. He didn't feel like bringing the magazine up. Maybe they'd get away with it. Maybe they'd be able to just be together in secret. Josefina would never know, the magazine would never know, therefore the population of Hogwarts would never know. Which was what he really wanted in reality. It was why he actually agreed with her words. Why he was sure that the option they were choosing was for now the best one. He would miss holding her hand, and kissing her lips. He would miss the feeling of her warmth against him. He would just miss everything about her when he wasn't with her, but it was all so that in private they could be together.

"Okay." he gave a small nod, smiling at his new secret possible girlfriend. It was odd to think he'd started the night with nothing and it was ending like this. "No one will know. We became friends because of this evening, nothing more." he leaned in and kissed her lips very lightly. Leaning away, letting himself continue to look at her. Almost memorising every part of her. "A last dance before we part ways?" he didn't really give her time to reply, when he put his hand back on her waist, listening for any distant music. Just leading her into swaying, or sort of dancing to the music they could hear. "I can walk you back to the ravenclaw common room," he said, but he was sort of dreading the moment their hands had to let go, and they had to once again pretend that they were nothing more than just good, if not sudden friends. He wanted to spend all night and all morning with her, but it just, it wouldn't be possible. He would have to be content with what he had now. His gaze never really leaving hers, the smile never faltering on his lips. Just disbelieving that this night had been so completely perfect. Just truly incredible, and well he was glad. It was fun. The thought alone made him smile. So he was truly happy for this. Happy with this. That she wanted to be with him even if it was in secret. Once the dance was over, Ty leaned into her and kissed her again, holding her closer to him, and seriously considering never letting go. He pulled away slightly keeping them still close. "This has been the most amazing Yuleball ever." but he knew if they wanted to avoid getting caught they had to end it now. Before someone walked in on them.

Bituin wished that the relationship she wanted with Tybalt didn't have to be kept quiet and from everyone. She knew he had many friends, all of which he'd want to tell. Whereas she only had a few, not really any. She'd never want to tell her sister, but if people knew the older girl would find out and it would be downhill from there she feared. She felt bad for Tybalt, she didn't want to make him keep secrets from his friends. But she also didn't want to have it so they were friends, they might always stay friends in that case. The girl figured it would be better for them if they just looked like friends while they tried figuring out the whole dating thing. A smile was on her face but somehow she didn't feel as happy as before. Perhaps it was the thought of not being able to be like this whenever she was Tybalt. She only hoped it was the right decision for them, for now at least. The girl knew she wouldn't always fear her sister so much, one day she would be able to kiss Tybalt in the middle of corridors and even sit next to him in classes and hold his hand.

Tybalt agreed with her and she wondered why it had to be her idea. Why did he have to put the decision all on her. If it didn't work out this way, it would be her fault and she'd feel terrible. But he was smiling at her and even kissed her one more time. The girl smiled back glad that she was at least something with Tybalt even if it was to be a secret. Then without giving her a choice they were dancing once more and she leaned in and put her head on his shoulder. It was getting late, she didn't want to head back to the Ravenclaw Dorms but she was starting to feel completely tired. "I'll walk with you till the seventh floor, the Ravenclaw tower will be out of your way," the girl said already knowing what other students might think when they see him walk her all the way up to the tower. Soon their dance was over and Tybalt leaned in and kissed her and held her close. She didn't want him to let go, didn't want the night to be over. But she knew if they waited any longer she might end up staying the night in the Library, that being the farthest up the castle she could make. "I think it has been lovely," the girl said in reply looking up at Tybalt. She moved closer and left a small kiss on the boy's lips before pulling back. It was time to head up the stairs to the dorms and she felt as though Tybalt wouldn't have the effort to pull away first.​

Tybalt honest to god did not want to finish this night even if it meant being caught by all the people that they had both promised the other they'd keep from knowing. The way the kiss felt incredible on his lips, and the simple manner of her shyness, everything. Tybalt had never expected his night to follow this path. He had never assumed in a million years what this would bring. He would be sure to talk things over with Indiana, at least make sure that she knew about the fact they were now friends. Nothing more but that was really all she needed to know. They would get to know each other first and Tybalt would happily do so. He thoroughly enjoyed the company of his secret girlfriend. She made him feel at ease, happy, calm. All the things that were pretty easy to come by but that he often didn't feel at Hogwarts. Well maybe this year, but not the other years. For this reason the Gryffindor was struggling with his mind to even let go of her hand. It was perfect, it fit with his with complete perfection. He held her close to him and he didn't want to step back all. Not even the smallest of steps. But as she spoke he knew he needed to. This had to be the end. He had to call this over at least before the Yuleball officially ended and the students began flocking outside for last minute fresh air. He took a step back letting the hand that had been on her cheek fall to his side, leaving the hand that being held by hers for a few moments longer before also letting go. The teen walked over to his suit jacket. Where it lay discarded on the dusty ground. He looked at it and then back round at her. "My mama is going to be so p1ssed about this jacket." he gave a light laugh, though that conversation felt like miles ago. Days ago. Just another life.

Closing the distance between them, the young teen wrapped his arm around her waist and held her closer to him, a small sort of hug, before letting his hand find hers again. "At least until we get to inside the school." giving a small smile. He was confident in them, he believed that they could do it. They'd be okay, and he would be able to have a great relationship with her. As soon as he figured out what a person did during a relationship. How thu acted, what they did. Really what dating someone actually meant. He began walking in the direction of the school, as they got close to the door her stopped, turned to her and then with a bright smile he leaned in and kissed her lips. Smiling as he leaned back out and then let go of her hand. "A final kiss for good luck" he said as he made his way to the door to open it for her. Pushing down strands of his hair in a desperate attempt to look more presentable, he even put back on the dusty jacket patting it down also. "After you, B".
