Giddy Feelings
They arrived at around 4 in the tower. According from Irene's quick glance to Wendy's clock that is.
"It changes color" Irene says. Wendy looks with furrowed eyebrows at the other woman. "The clock" Irene fills in. Grabbing hold of Wendy's wrist to show her the current color. " It changes every time we touch and you look at me" Irene says. Not realising the meaning of her own words.
Wendy blushes. Her arm going limp in Irene's hold.
"It's shows how my heart is feeling" Wendy says after a moment of thinking.
"Do you have a unhealthy heart?" Irene asks. Wendy thinks she pretends to not know but she can't be sure because Irene doesn't have a whole lot of facial expressions.
Wendy isn't sure how to respond to that. But she does anyways. "Not like that. It... It shows that I like you" Wendy immediately regret her words as soon as they left her lips.
"...Seungwan" Irene's voice is soft and careful. As if preparing to deliver any sort of kind refusal.
But nothing else escapes Irene's lips. Instead she is meet with silence.
The kind that makes your heart anxious and your palms sweaty.
"Can you give me time?" Irene asks after a while.
Wendy looks at the Slytherin in front o herself.
Observing how Irene's brows furrow deeper together and eyes flicker with hesitation. Irene's hands gripping her own robe.
Irene's eyes lock into Wendy's for a millisecond before she looks away and slithers her way down the stairs away.
Away from the awkward silence and giddy feelings in her stomach.
Wendy stands still.
Frozen in place.
Tonight they wouldn't get the chance to watch the stars together again.
