WHO: Adrian and Gwen
WHAT: Catching up after the game
WHEN: Tuesday
WHERE: Falmouth Stadium
RATING: He hopes for high, but most likely low.

He hadn't heard from her, so when he looked over and saw a blonde head sitting next to his mother, it had distracted him. He had trouble focusing, which was probably why the Falcons had been losing. Eventually, though, he'd gotten his head back in the game and scored a couple of goals. It wasn't much, but it was their seeker that found the snitch, so it was enough. It was only after the game that he remembered that the girl he fancied had just spent nearly two hours sitting next to his mother. He shouldn't have mentioned it. Perhaps, if he hadn't told his mum that the girl he fancied might be coming, he could have just passed this thing between them off as just being a friendship. He dreaded to think of what she might have said, and the woman didn't give anything away as she gave him the customary praise and then gave him a kiss goodnight. With her promise to give his love to the girls, he let her go, before going over to where Gwen was, for some reason, waiting for him.

"I'm glad you came," he said, simply. He was going to keep his distance from her, because he didn't trust himself not to try and touch her. "Hope you enjoyed it, and my mum didn't talk your ears off."

Gwendolyn was very well aware of exactly where Adrian's eyes were lingering and she was amazed that they barely strayed. At his question, Gwendolyn paused and pretended to think for several moments. They had talked about loads of other things, actually. Clothing had been among the subject as had been the keeper lovely behind, but she didn't want to share that with Adrian.

"No, I don't believe we did." She said as she shook her head again. "Oh yes, she did mention how much potential you have but you're so stubborn." Gwen said with a sigh and a shake of her head, as if she was chiding him. hen she grinned. "Oh, and she says you don't firechat her enough. Made sure to tell me to remind you to do so more often."

He wasn't surprised that his mother had said that about his potential. She'd been saying it to him for years, after all, but he did chuckle about her quip about firechatting. He didn't really like it, to be honest, which was why he tried to avoid it if he could.

"Guess you'll just have to spend more time with me, then, otherwise I'll keep forgetting," he said, with a wink.

"I guess I will have to." Gwendolyn retorted with a smirk as she brought the glass up to her lips. Okay, so she was doing some serious flirting, but it was her default mode, when she relaxed. It was clear that she was feeling more comfortable with him, but as far as Gwen was concerned, the important part was that she had a handle on things, and he wasn't close enough to touch her.

"If only for your poor, dear mother." She added after she swallowed her dirk. Gwen took another sip as she considered her next words. "She did suggest meeting up some afternoon for lunch and a bit of shopping."

Sweet Circe, was she trying to drive him crazy. The mixed signals she was giving off were starting to make his head hurt, but he didn't think he could walk away from her now, even if she wanted him, too. The brief moment she had kissed him back at Pansy's the other night was still fresh in his mind.

"Really? Well, I know my mother and she has expensive taste. If you find anything you like, you can charge it to my vault. Just give me some notice and I'll organise it," he offered, then wondered if he'd just over-stepped a boundary. Would she think he was trying to buy her affection?

Gwendolyn's eyes went wide, her brows then furrowed at the comment. What the hell? Did he think she couldn't afford it? Surely she hadn't let that slip. She'd been so good at making herself indistinguishable from Pansy and the rest of her friends; she wasn't meant to stand out. Gwen nervously tugged the hem of her dress. It was a few years old, but she'd altered it to look just like the latest line.

"It's fine." Gwen said finally, taking a big sip from her glass. "I have expensive taste myself and my vault can certainly take it." She said, trying not to sound testy, even as she felt a little nervous under his gaze.

In truth, Adrian had little to no idea about what the latest style was. He thought Gwen looked good in everything she wore, and would never have been able to tell what year her dress was made. He just didn't want her to overspend trying to keep up with his mother, a consummate shopper.

"I'm sure you and mum will get along just fine, then," he said, with a shrug. If she said she could afford it, he was sure she could. He lapsed into silence, looking around the room to avoid make her uncomfortable by perving on her. "Do you want some music?" He pointed towards his wireless, which was on the mantle.

"Sure, otherwise, we'll just talk about you." Gwendolyn said, trying to lighten the mood a little. She felt a little bad about her tone, and hoped it wasn't overly evident. At his question, Gwen glanced up and over to the radio. She nodded in response. "That would be lovely, yes." She said, glancing around the room for a clock, she wasn't really sure what would be on, but hopefully some music.

He rose and went to the radio, switching it on, and searching around for some music. He stopped when he found some, a fast number by some band he didn't think he'd heard before, and adjusted the volume, so that they could hear it, without it overpowering their conversation. He didn't dance much, but he did know how, was even fairly good with rhythm, so he turned back to her, grinning and held out his hand for her to join him.

"Dance?"

Watching Adrian fiddle with the wireless, Gwendolyn took another sip of her drink. She smiled when he settled on a station, the song was one she'd heard a few times, and nice and fast. So when he offered a dance, Gwendolyn nodded. She placed her glass on the table and stood, making sure to smooth down her skirt in the process.

"Not going to turn down an offer like that." She teased, not sure she remembered dancing with Adrian before.

He probably should have taken her dancing, or something, when they were younger. Of course, their potential for actual dating had been somewhat diminished by the fact they were in a boarding school, and it's not like there was any chance of going to club with the strict curfews in place. He started to move in time to the music.

"We should definitely go dancing," he said, as she joined him.

Gwendolyn glanced up and smiled at Adrian's words. She supposed she'd never thought of him as the type to enjoy dancing. Granted, there weren't really any opportunities given that Hogwarts hardly allowed for clubs or any other dancing activity save for the Yule Ball in her third year and the occasional parties in the common room.

"That would be brilliant." Gwen said, dancing with him, smiling as she moved.

Adrian caught her hand and twirled her under his arm before pulling her to him and spinning them both around a couple of times. They moved so well, together and it reminded Adrian of another way they had always moved well together.

"I was an idiot for letting you go," he murmured against her ear, holding her close for just a few seconds. Then, he spun her out, and under his arm, again.

Gwendolyn laughed as Adrian twirled her around. For once she didn't mind that he was touching her, and she was smiling and whirling around across Adrian's living room floor. This was why she loved dancing, it was free and fun, and certainly helped to lift moods.

When he pulled her close and whispered those words in her ear, Gwendolyn froze. He twirled her back out, and Gwen used that moment, brief as it was to laugh it off. When she was facing him once more, Gwendolyn shook her head and gave him a look. "You were and idiot. I was, and am a great catch." She confirmed, before whirling back out on her own, letting the words sink in.

He stopped moving at her words, his features unreadable.

"I know that. I've never gotten over you, Gwen, and I guess I've just realised I never will," he said. "I thought...forget it. Excuse me."

He left the living room, pausing briefly in the hall trying to decide whether he should leave the house, go to the kitchen, or upstairs. He chose his bedroom, and climbed the stairs. He moved to the window, hoping to catch a last glimpse of her as she left.

It took Gwendolyn a moment to realise that Adrian had stopped dancing. She stopped to look at him, wondering what was going on. A bit too stunned to say anything, Adrian was already walking out the door before she'd had a chance to say anything. What the hell had just happened. she paused and glanced at her bag on the sofa, then the door, thinking maybe it would be best to leave.

Only she couldn't bring herself to do so. Adrian was upset, of that much she was certain. Why exactly he was upset was really beyond her. She got it, he liked her, and still felt something for her, but it had been years, and well, he was being a bit of a child pouting because she wasn't bending to his will.

Unfortunately, as much of a cow as she could be at times, she did feel bad for upsetting him, so instead, she dropped her bag back on the sofa and followed in the direction Adrian had gone. She glanced at the doors, unsure of which one he was in. "Adrian..." She called out, hoping he'd answer as she knocked on the door. She wasn't sorry, and she wasn't going to apologise, but she was going to be nice.

He was surprised, to hear her outside his bedroom door, rather than seeing her out on the street.

"Yes," he called out, turning to face the door, his hands shoved in his pockets.

Hearing his voice, Gwen walked up to the door, and knocked gently on it before testing to see if it was open. Pushing it open slightly, she leaned against the door frame, not quite stepping into his room.

"Look, I wasn't trying to upset you." She said, chewing on her lower lip. "It's not easy for me to get used to the idea of you being in my life again, and sometimes, I just feel like I need to prove to you that you shouldn't have ended things."

"I already know that, Gwen. I don't have a good reason. I was young, and how I felt was overwhelming and scary. I regret it. Every day," he told her. He sort of didn't know what to do now. He was sure that she would flee and never look back, but there she was. "I thought I could be patient, but I want to kiss you so badly, it's hard to think straight when you're around, so it's probably better for you not to be around me."

Gwendolyn nodded. They'd both been young, stupid, and if truth be told, Gwen wasn't even sure that they would have lasted much longer either. It was likely inevitable that he would have broken her heart. Why it hurt so much, when he'd been so awful, Gwen wasn't even sure. She just knew that she didn't want to be treated like that ever again.

"I -" Gwen hesitated, not really sure what to say. She didn't really want to leave him alone, though she wasn't quite sure she would give him what he wanted. "Okay, I'll stay away." She said finally, a little more upset than she thought she'd be. The very least she could do is end, whatever this was. "Take care, yeah?" She added as she pushed off the door frame and started back down the hall.

Everything in him told to go after her, grab her and do everything he could to keep her from walking out that door. He fisted both hands, his jaw set stubbornly and for the first time in about fifteen years, he felt the hot sting of tears. She was like an addiction to him, though, she always had been, and he wasn't good for her. Because he cared so much, he didn't move more than to turn around and wait to see her leave.

Pausing at the top of the stairs, Gwendolyn turned around for a moment. Part of her wanted to run back into the room, kiss him and not come back up until the morning. Only she knew that she couldn't give him what she wanted. The kiss may have lingered more than it should have the last few days, and being around him may bring back all of the good memories, but if she went back for one shag, Gwen was sure that she was only going to hurt him, and as good as that may feel at the time, she couldn't do that too him, and her. With a soft sigh she turned back around and headed back down the stairs. This was why fairy tales and romance didn't exist. Life was not that simple.

He felt like he was a war with himself. The need he felt to be with her battling against what he thought was best for her. He made her uncomfortable, but then again, she did keep coming back. Why wasn't there a rule book or something, to help him make this play? He listened to her footfalls on the stairs, and right before she reached the bottom, he broke into a sprint, taking the stairs two at a time to catch her as she opened the door.

"Gwen!"

Half of her was hoping that Adrian would come running after her, almost expecting him to beg her again. It was almost what he'd been doing, and it was quite possibly when she'd found herself unable to say no to his invitations. The rest of her knew that it was better this way, that they were better off out of each others lives, like it had been for so many years. As she reached the front door, Gwendolyn stopped, her hand on the doorknob. She looked over her shoulder briefly but not hearing anything, she turned and opened the door just as Adrian called out for her.

Turning around, Gwen looked at him, both surprised and pleased. Before she could stop herself she'd crossed to meet him, and just as if she was in some kind of play, threw her arms around him and kissed him.

He caught her around the waist as she embraced him and met her kiss. He knew this was crazy, but he honestly didn't see how he could stop seeing her.

"I'm sorry, Gwen. I'm know I'm not good enough for you, and I don't deserve you, but I want you. Please don't leave."

"I know, I know." Gwendolyn murmured between kisses. Closing her eyes tightly, she stood up on her toes and properly wrapped her arms around him so she could kiss him better. This was probably one of her dumbest moves to date, but she couldn't not kiss him. Not when she felt so drawn to him. "I won't leave." Gwen said again, before kissing him, once more. "Just kiss me."
