Why I hate birds pt 1
The crisp autumn air reminded Wren of home. It was safety and love, but at this moment he didn't feel that, all he felt was anxiety and worry. He couldn’t believe the murmurs in the halls, could someone actually have hurt someone he cared about. It has to be lies, right?
Wren made the decision to look for Kasey on that crisp September day.
“Hey, Kasey. Can we talk?”
“Yeah, sure, what's up?”
“So, Um a little birdy said you might have feelings for someone, want to spill. It’s totally fine if you don’t want to talk about it.”
“Oh……That……”
“Yeah……”
“I….they……. I got led on”
“Oh, Hun, I’m sorry.”
“I just……” Kasey let's out a distressed whine, Fane trying to calm him down.
“Kasey, are you okay with me touching you?”
Kasey holds his arms out, shakily, as Wren carefully hugs Kasey. He let out a choked sob, clinging to Wren.
“Hey, hey, hey, sweetheart it's okay, I got you,” Wren said as they gently started to rub small circles on Kasey's back.
“Don't...want to.... go”
“Hun, I'm not going to let go, not until you want me to”
“Mmmm”
“You are my other half at this point. I am not going to let go, and I'm going to protect you as much as I can.”
Kasey sags in Wren's grasp, the latter slowly brought both of them to the floor. The prior curls into the latter the best he can. During this time, it felt like it was the two of them against the world. It felt as if they could fight the dark lord and win just by being together. They were finally putting two and two together and getting four instead of fish.
Wren started to softly sing Love Story by Taylor Swift as a way to try to stay calm. He didn't want Kasey freaking out any more than he already was. Kasey buried his head into Wren's shoulder and starts to rhythmically tap at Wren’s arm. ·· ·–·· ––– ···– · –·–– ––– ··– ––··–– ·· ·–·· ––– ···– · –·–– ––– ··– ·· ·–·· ––– ···– · –·–– ––– ··– ––··–– ·· ·–·· ––– ···– · –·–– ––– ··–
“Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby, just say, Yes “

“I love you, Kasey.”
Kasey's head shoots up in shock, hope crawling across his face.
“I am pretty sure I have fallen head over heels for you, Kasey. I finally think that's what these feeling I am feeling are.”
Kasey’s face starts to flush, as he was moving his mouth up and down as if he was trying to say something.
“Sweetheart, take it easy. We can talk about this later. I promise.”
Kasey lets out a soft huff.
“Kasey, I can promise you this right here, right now. I love and care about you. You don't know how much I truly care about you, hearing that someone had the nerve to lead such a sweet boy on, it is utterly pathetic. That person has lost my trust. Kasey if I didn't trust or care about you in the slightest I would not have fallen asleep cuddling you on the train nor would I have said 'oh shit I'm gay'. You treated me with respect, and I am going to do the same, just like my adopted fathers' taught me to. You treated me so well on the train, and that's when I started to think, maybe I won't be alone in this big world.”
Kasey's face flushes bright red. He hides his face in Wren's shoulder and starts tapping again.

“I probably shouldn’t have said that here… Nor At this moment.”
Kasey, give Wren a smile
Draco approaches the two “Look, I frankly don’t care about you, but Kasey does so um....just. Come with me, you two.”
Kasey gets up and holds a hand out for Wren. Wren grabbed Kasey’s hand, and with Nova’s help as well, gets up. Kasey stares at Draco, trying to convey....something.
“I don't know what you’re trying to say, you’re just staring into my soul, silently judging me!”
“Kasey does that every so often, he just doesn't say anything.”
“I know, but I never know what they mean by it! Did I do a bad again?”
“No, you didn't.”
Kasey opens his mouth in another attempt to talk.
“Kasey, Hun, you can’t talk right now. So don't try to force yourself to talk.”
“Kasey, no. Chill out for once in your life.”
Kasey pouts, plans foiled. Wren lets go of Nova's harness to boop Kasey's nose. Kasey blinks once, twice before grinning. Draco rolled his eyes but smiles
“Sorry, I'm being gay on main again.”
“That’s, as the Muggles would say, “a mood”.”
Kasey starts laughing silently, Wren slowly started to move to the floor, Nova going straight for Wren's legs. Kasey starts tugging at Draco’s shirt and points at Wren, then gestures for Draco to get help. Nova ended up moving behind Wren as he’s nearing unconsciousness.
“Uh, got it! One Gryffindor prefect, coming up!”
About five minutes passed and Wren was still laying on Nova. At this point, Wren should have woken up by now, something could be wrong.
“Okay, I’m back, prefect Faust, Wren passed out and neither Kasey nor I can get him to Gryffindor tower.”
“Alright Malfoy calm down, everything will be okay. Kasey, Draco, help me with Nova and Wren?”
Kasey nods and attempts to pick Wren up, Nova pushes him away. Kasey whines in response.
“It’s okay Kasey, let me help, okay?”
Kasey nods and together, they pick Wren up.
