It was cold outside, the air thin and its icy fingertips grasping anyone who were to walk outside in a vice like grip, even if you were heavily layered with warm cloth. The perfect weather for the day Feferi Peixes received the first letter from her Mother after she ran off to Hogwarts. It was a day filled with that disgusting ball of nerves churning in her stomach, blood rushes in her ears and her pulse skyrockets as she felt her face become hot. Her dampened eyes slowly sliding away from the scribbled words of disappointment and utter anger her Mother possessed.
It was before her first class, on her way to breakfast actually when she sifted through her mail to find that signature wax seal of the Peixes Family crest glistening against the crisp white envelope. Her heart sank at the all too familiar handwriting on the front, and she felt her entire body grow weak, stopping dead in her tracks as she felt hands clawing up her throat and cutting off her air supply.. She couldn't stay here..
After standing in eery silence for quite some time, she had the urge to simply walk.. walk into the cold nothingness of winter until this gut churning feeling escaped from her body.. and that's exactly what she did. She didn't go to breakfast, she didn't tell anyone where she was going, quite frankly she didn't know herself. All she knew was that today was not the day to deal with petty classes..
She walked for what seemed like hours, and it may have been so before she found a large circular stone building with no windows. Staring at the structure for a few moments before she saw the amber gaze of a white owl peer down at her, it was the Owlery. Walking slowly into the fortress of solitude, only the company of hundreds of birds to witness her sit down in a spot of hay that seemed relatively clean before opening it.
Feferi tried to write back, to come up with some sort of apology but try and stand her ground, letting the words she had practiced over and over again in the mirror of the bathroom only to be dragged back down her throat and dissolved into the acid of her stomach. Finally, she gave up, simply curling into a ball and sobbing in the corner, her belongings falling against the cold floor as she froze in the harsh weather.

Eridan had been on the way to his third class of the day, the second one he’d had with Feferi yet his friend was nowhere to be seen. It was strange because she hadn’t met him up for breakfast either. There was still quite a bit of time before class started so Eridan decided to run off and find a same House friend of Feferi’s to see if perhaps she was sick. After a quick trip to the Hufflepuff House's door Eridan’s finds that Feferi is not in bed sick, so she’s missing. He sighs and decides to skip class in order to look for her. It took a bit longer than expected but eventually Eridan ended up in the general vicinity of the Owlery. He looks up to the tall stone building taking note of all the owls flying to and from the very top…perhaps? It might just be his mind being paranoid but he got the feeling that perhaps Feferi would be in a very unlikely place. So he heads to the Owlery.
Once inside the chill that ran over the whole school didn’t lessen any and Eridan pulls his scarf a little tighter around him. It was a little insane how cold it felt. As he gets to the top he looks around and all that’s really up there is a bunch of birds and straw on the floor. Nothing out of the ordinary. Unless you count the big puff of hair in the corner. “There you are, Fef! Wwhy’re you hidin’ away?” He walks over to her then thinks. “Are you still mad about the thing in Potions class? I didn’t knoww it wwas gonna explode like that, ok? I promise. I mean, it wwasn’t evven that big a deal. You can’t just skip classes wwith me in them, that’d be almost half your day. You’ll get in trouble.” He stands in front of her and it takes an extra moment to notice the letter crumbled in her hands. “Wwhat’s that?” He crouches down and gently tries to pry it from her hands.

Feferi didn't even notice that Eridan had entered the secluded building until his voice cut through harshly cold air like a hot knife through butter, causing her to jump slightly and quickly fix her gaze on him. She had grown used to the sudden noises of owls fluttering about, so the crunching of the hay as he walked must not have phased her. Her eyes were glossed over with tears, her cheeks stained with multiple streaks, each tinted grey by her makeup, and her entire body was shaking, numb from the cold.
She struggled to look up at him, so she didn't, her line of vision focused on the wall behind him as she kept her head low near her knees while he rambled away about Potions class. He could be so naive at time, but that's how Eridan worked. He needed a slap of reality to understand the situation presented to him, and she was hoping her would see the seal in her hands and realize.
But he gently removed the crumpled letter from her grip, the piercing sound of his hands trying to flatten the wrinkled paper making it harder to swallow. Seatching for a few gasps of air before she could manage to mutter a sentence, her voice weak and shaky.
" I .. c-cant s-..s-stay here Eri-dan.. She'll come f-find me... and she'll take yo-you too.. I can't.. let her ruin-n your life too... " The mere thought of crushing Eridans' wizardy career by leaving him, or forcing him to come with her was too much to handle, and she quickly started to sob once more.

His eyes dart across the words, reading quickly. His brows crease into an increasingly furious expression as he reads. When Feferi finally talks it seems to snap him out of his daze. He blinks and looks down at her, it nearly broke his heart. He crouches down and quickly wipes the tears from her face then cups her cheeks, making her look up at him. “Hey, hey. Fef, come on shhhh…” He presses a kiss to her forehead. “It’s ok. I’m not gonna let your mom take you back. Wwe’re gonna stay here. Evverythin’s gonna be ok.” He sits down in front of her and takes her hands, gently pulling her forward. “C’mere Fef.” He tugs her hands a bit, hopefully urging her to sit in his lap.

She couldn't seem to grasp the concept that everything was going to be alright, and when Eridan's gaze locked into hers with such remorse and pity it just made her lip quiver, and her entire body felt limp in his touch, eyes clenching shut and spilling more tears when he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.
But, when he gave a small tug, she slowly retracted from the cold ground and curled up in his lap, placing her head on his chest before her legs tightly hugged his lap, her arms wrapping around his torso with a harsh grip. She could feel herself bounce against his chest with every hard sob, and every sharp breathe. Feferi was simply sobbing into Eridan's chest, because no matter what she would do, she would never be good enough.

Eridan wraps his arms tightly around her and takes nice deep and even breathes in an attempt to help her calm down more. He rubs her back and hums quietly to her. “It’ll be alright, Fef. I’vve got you an I ain’t evver lettin’ go. Not evven if your mother comes ta get you. I’ll be right there to protect you. You’re gonna be fine. Wwe’re gonna stay right here at Hogwwarts, I promise.” He presses another gentle kiss into her hair and sighs, quietly starting to sing to her. Lullabies weren’t the best thing Eridan could sing but it was the only thing that could really calm Feferi down at times like these. So he sang.

Feferi listened to his sweet melody ring through her ears as she shivered in the cold chamber, the owls going about their business as if nothing was going on. That's what she liked about the owls, they didn't judge her when she cried, and they didn't give her that awful look of pity when she talked to them about her problems. But Eridan, he was the best owl yet. He was her best friend, her life, and she didn't know what she would do without him. And she would never forget the tone of his soothing songs that calmed her down.
Rocking in his lap, she started to calm down, her breathing becoming less rapid and allowing more air to pass through her lungs and pump oxygen to lower her heart rate. She was started to break through, and with this in mind she furrowed her face into the crook of his neck before placing a soft kiss against his skin, her lips cold and starting to crack.

Eridan keeps singing, though the cold air kind of hurt his throat he kept going. Rubbing her back and hair, it took a while but she did start to calm down. He relaxes a bit and keeps singing. Maybe one or two more songs just to make sure she’s ok. He rests his chin on top of her head and pulls her a little closer. It was really cold and she had been sitting on the floor for god knows how long. Quickly he adjusts his scarf and wraps part of it around Feferi as well, it was certainly long enough to fit around the two, especially at such a close distance. The kiss though surprises him and he tenses up a bit, his voices faltering and stopping for a moment. What was she…? He shakes his head a bit and pulls away a bit, his expression full of worry and nerves. “Fef…?”

She quickly snapped out of her trance of flooding emotions and odd feelings once she realized that Eridan noticed her small kiss and was probably not to thrilled about her tiny slip up. Honestly, Feferi barely even knew what she was doing herself, and it was a spur of the moment type of thing, but it wasn't as if she didn't want to go on, but Eridan obviously didn't.
Pulling her head away from him, and slowly sliding off of his lap, she started to panick.
" I-I'm really so-orry, I don't know wh-what I'm doing.. " She started to tear up again, she was ruining things.

Eridan blinks and his face pinks a bit more, it’s a good thing that it’s so cold. He didn’t really know what Feferi was up to but she was obviously very extremely upset and thrown off by the letter she’d gotten, that’s why she was acting this way. He looks around at the owls and rubs the back of his neck. Thankfully she gets up and moves away from him a bit though. “It’s fine, you’re upset Fef.” Well, it was fine until she started to tear up again. Eridan jumps up and hesitates a bit, his hands hovering over her. “I uh, don’t cry Fef, really! It’s fine! You’re upset an it wwas just a lil kiss! I mean I kiss your forehead all the time.”

She shook her head, her entire disposition becoming panicked and unknowing as to what to do with the situation. "N-no! It wasn't like that, it wasn't-t a friendly th-thing, I don't kno-ow why I did that! It just felt s-so nice the way you we-ere holding me a-and I never had much exp-perience with anything like that and it just felt right and-... I'm so sorry!! " She felt fresh, warm tears roll down her cheek, and her palms hurriedly went to wipe them away as she started to shake, making it much harder for her to stand up. But, she still tried and since she was so bottom heavy it was difficult to push herself to her feet, and she slipped.
There's was no point in trying to do anything today. She couldn't muster up the courage to answer her mother, she couldn't even approach Eridan the way she wanted/needed too, so there was no use in even trying today. She simply let her legs bow out and she remained on the floor a few feet away from him, praying to god he just left so he didn't have to see her like this.

Eridan blinks at her dumbly. What? He stares at her and kind of tilts his head…what? His brows furrow into a confused expression and stares her down. “It wasn’t?” Well that made sense. A kiss on the neck was MUCH different from a kiss on the forehead. A kiss on the forehead was more of a…caring kind of thing? And a kiss on the neck was more well, intimate. Eridan blushes more and again thanks the cold for already making his face as pink as it is. “I mean, of course it wwasn’t.” He takes a few confident steps forward to her and kneels down in front of her and takes one of her hands in his. “You’re fine Fef. I’m not gonna get mad at you for that.” He looks down and clears his throat. “I…um, I havve somethin’ I wwanna say.”

She felt entirely too embarrassed by the entire situation, and with his initial questioning tone she felt the disgusting feeling of butterflies in her stomach flutter and grow larger, and she was going to refuse to look back at him. She didn't know what to do, and he didn't eithe-...
"?......" Eridan simply stood up and just so casually walked over to her as if nothing happened, and as soon as she felt his grip around her lanky fingers she started to blush, and Feferi's harsh breathing was now from more nerves than it was anything else. Eridan had never look at her like that, and it was scary yet exciting at the same time and she didn't know whether to barf or just go with it.
Let's just go with it.

Eridan had a similar mess of feelings swirling around in his stomach though on top of it all he had a mass amount of arrogance and confidence. The signals he was getting was that Feferi finally was returning his feelings. He’d liked her since he was seven and her original rejection had thrown him off guard. This time he was sure though, he wasn’t going to get rejected. Though he was pretty sure she’d accept him last time too…but this time was different!! Eridan shakes his head a little as if to toss all the negative thoughts from his mind. This time was different. He takes a deep breath and looks her in the eyes. “Fef, I’vve lovved you for a long time.” He looks at her then bites his lip and decides to look at the hand he now has both of his wrapped around. “Since wwe wwere like, six. An I knoww you rejected me once but like, I think wwe could do this. I’d pike to be able to take you on a date or somefin…” He grumbles the two puns, knowing she’ll catch on to them both.

Feferi looked at him with pure shock. She knew about his stubborn ways and felt that even if she did have feelings towards him now he would always hold that stupid grudge against her from when they were children. But he didn't, and he was biting his lip like he was going to say something difficult and in fact he did. It was all so sudden and different, she just didn't know what words to say.
So she didn't say anything. She simply gave a surprised grin at the two fish puns he made just for her before pulling him down to meet her face by the two hands he had firmly wrapped around hers and gave him a soft, gentle kiss on his lips. Feeling all the blood of excitement rush to her cheeks as she locked into his omens. Pulling away, she muttered, " I love you too.."
