Who: Kendra and Phoenix
What: Mayhem after dark
Where: Greenhouse
When: Nighttime
Rating: PG-13


Kendra had, of course, paid no heed to Phoenix's warnings about going out alone at night. She had talked herself into believing that the two attacks or incidents or whatever they were Becken's sounded more like he was having a panic attack if anything. It could have been a terrible prank. Rumor had it that Zara's had been a werewolf attack, and Jacob Wood's... well, she wasn't entirely sure about that, but he was still alive so that must have meant something right? Maybe it had just been a dog and not the Grim. It was possible, right?

Either way, Kendra had eased herself back into a comfort zone and was back to her later visits to the greenhouse to check on her moonflower. The plant, which had grown at an extraordinarily rapid rate early in its life was now coated in gorgeous white blossoms that only bloomed at night. The careful measurements and notes taken would be important to future herbologists, or so she liked to think. The extra attention appeared to have very drastic effects on the plant, and if this was the case with other plants, it could make a huge difference in the availability of moonflower for potions and powders and all sorts of things.

As she closed the door of the greenhouse she was quick to notice a red plant in the corner. It's inviting petals were enough to earn anyone's interest, and its faint pleasant odor made her undeniably curious as to what scent the flower bore, but she quickly shook her head and focused her attention elsewhere. She knew no good would come out of that flower, and she focused instead on removing her layers and fishing out her wand to begin her measurements.

Having Phoenix sitting there meant she wasn't exactly going to be able to dump her usual load of problems on her moonflower. It was theraputic to get those things out in the open, even if no one was really listening. Just to vent and say how she was feeling out loud made her feel better. Phoenix had even suggested the conversation she had with the plant might be aiding to its large size. She wasn't about to tell him no, however, both because she had a feeling he would sit outside and wait being as stubborn as he was and because she didn't honestly want him to go, regardless of how he did or did not feel about her- a subject which was confusing her greatly. "Sure."

She turned back to the plant and took the remaining measurements. Once she had nothing left to distract her, she set her wand down on the table, staring at the numbers blankly for a moment, before she slowly turned to look at him. "If you didn't feel an obligation to come," she said gently. "Why did you?"

Phoenix relaxed a fracion when the other agreed that he took her back to her dormitories. He knew seeing her, and making sure she's safe now would not be suffice. If he could take her to her room, he would.

At her question, his gaze landed on her, eyes like warm pools of mercury that gave off nothing that he was feeling. "Your fault." he said. "If you'd only agreed to listen to me, we would both be safely in bed at the moment..."

Kendra hated that about him, that he could look at her and not give away a single hint about what he really meant, about how he was really feeling. As someone who wore her heart on her sleeve without really meaning to, it was frustrating to try and guess what was going on in that complicated head of his. "But you already said you didn't have to come," she argued, taking a step toward him. "You could've stayed in bed."

Phoenix's expression remianed as it was, even when she started to argue. He watched her take a step towards him, not moving a muscle as she did so. "Yes, I did." he said. "And I could have. But I chose not to." His gaze on her narrowed. "What are you trying to get me to say?"

Kendra bit her lip as his eyes narrowed. Why did she suddenly feel as if this were a now or never sort of thing? "I'm trying to get you to say..." She sighed. "If you... care... about me? In a... more than friends sort of way?" Her words came out even more awkwardly than she felt, and she let out another sigh of frustration as she ran a nervous hand through her hair. "I just... get a lot of mixed signals from you? And I guess I just want to know if I'm making a fool out of myself or not."

He looked at her for seemed like an eternty, but eventually, a smile punched through his features. "Kendra..." he started, crossing his arms. "If I had not cared at all, do you really think I would be here?" he asked. "Would I even bother trying to stop you from leaving your dorms at these ungodly hours at all if I didn't?" He sighed, shoulders slumping in the slightest. "I take fault in the fact that you're... unable to read me. I have been told I tend to do that, so I apologize. But since you mentioned it, I have to make it clear that no, you're not making a fool of yourself. Never..."

"Is that all that's plaguing your mind?"

Kendra felt as if a big heaping pile of relief had been dropped upon her shoulders, and she could feel her knees give slightly under it. Then again, that may have been from the smile he tossed her way. That gentle curve of his lips tended to have that effect on her. "...Really?" she asked as she stepped closer to him, looking up at him with big, blue eyes. "Are you sure?"

"Really." Phoenix assured her, keeping the smile on his lips after he'd seen how she'd positively responded to it. "I wouldn't lie. I see no benefit in it." He waited in anticipation when she started to move closer to him, and wondered how close she was actually planning to get. "Do you doubt me?"

Kendra couldn't help but feel giddy at this reassurance. Phoenix Malfoy cared for her, cared enough to haul his beautiful butt out of bed and come make sure she was alright in the middle of the night, slippers and all. It was all she could do to keep from jumping up and down. "I... care about you, too," she told him as she closed the distance between them. "If that wasn't... painfully obvious already." She offered a sheepish smile.

Phoenix felt immense happiness when he'd heard the reassurance he hadn't asked for, liking the fact that she seemed to know he wanted to hear that from her, too, even though he'd not voiced it out. His smiled grew wider in response to her words, and still kept his eyes on her as she advanced. "I'm glad." he said. "I like hearing it. I would never discourage you from being honest with me. You can be assured that I will be the same, even though I do not often voice out my thoughts..."

Kendra smiled as she reached up to adjust the his robe around his neck, smoothing out the area of crumpled fabric until it looked befitting of him. "You must have been freezing walking over here," she said, knowing that though it was warm and toasty in the greenhouse, it was still chilly outside.

Phoenix's head lowered as he followed her had as they reached out for him. He stiffened a little as an initial reaction, but relaxed afer a deep breath. "I hardly noticed." he admitted, though tops of his cheeks were stained with light pink. After a minute, he looked up to look into her eyes, noticing now only how close they really were but wasn't frightened by their proximity at all. He circled his hand loosely around her wrist, letting his fingers draw lines on her skin. "Worried?"

Kendra's hands paused as she felt his wrap loosely around her wrist, her own cheeks hue pinkening as she met his gaze with a small smile. "I... wouldn't want you to catch a cold," she explained, her voice coming out quieter than expected. His fingers were distracting, his eyes were distracting, Merlin, he was distracting! Everything about him drew her in, from his bleach-blonde hair, to the firm slopes and lines of his face, to the gentle curves of his lips.

Phoenix felt their bodies move towards each others, and this left him surprised at himself for wanting it too. Usually, he recoiled at the thought of closeness, of intimacy. But now, with having Kendra in the warm safety of the greenhouse, it seemed as if nothing was wrong with it. Nothing could hurt then, see them. And there was the fact that he himself wanted her close to him...

"I'm fine." he assured her, resting one of his hands on her hip. "Are you... done with your flowers?" he asked.

Kendra was caught off guard by his ease as well. The closest they had come to being so intimate and close had been at the dance, and she hardly though that counted as he had attended probably a hundred balls in his life and danced the same way, just as close with a thousand other girls. This was different. This was the middle of the night in her greenhouse... in his slippers with his hands resting gently on her hips.

"Yes," she breathed out, cheeks flushing slightly at the sound of her voice. There was no hope in denying it now. Kendra desperately wanted her lips on those of Phoenix Malfoy. Hell, she wanted everything of his on everything of hers, but she had learned the hard way that taking things too quickly with Phoenix meant she got a rigid board reaction that was just as harsh as any words might have been.

Kiss me her own voice begged in her head as she gazed up at him. Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.

Phoenix understood, perhaps as well as he would have if Kendra had voiced out what she wanted from him. The intense gaze he seemed locked on, the one that didn't permit him to look away, told him that Kendra wanted him close, much closer than they'd ever been. And from the way his heart accelerated from the very thought of it, he knew it was what he wanted. It felt... right.

His hand found the side of her neck as he brought her closer, pulling her gently towards him. He stopped breathing, anticipating the moment when she changed her mind suddenly, and wanted him to stop. But it didn't seem like it was coming. He kept his eyes open, wanting this to happen right, and close the rest of the distance left between them and pressed his lips against hers for the first time...

Kendra knew it was coming. His hand slipped up to her neck, and her breathing hitched as she felt a sudden rush of nervousness. What if it was terrible? Dante had never exactly complained, but Dante wasn't Phoenix. He was so complicated and- and-

It was impossible to keep a thought process going as he drew closer, and her eyes slid closed as she tilted her head up slightly to meet his lips with hers. Her hands snaked upward, resting on his chest as she edged slightly closer, willing her knees to not to give.

Phoenix moved his lips softly against the petals of her mouth, letting the contact last longer than he had first wanted. He hadn't expected her lips to be so... increbidly soft. And the scent of her at this close proximity, of florals and all things he associated with sweetness, and she just drew him in. It was hopeless for him to try to fight it.

But as with all good things, this sensational contact had to end. He pulled back a little, so he could watch her, watch how she would react to what he'd done, a slight fear pooling in his chest....

If Phoenix was worried about what he would come to see in Kendra's expression as he pulled away, he had no need to be. Kendra was practically a puddle at his feet as her eyes drifted back open, her lips still tingling pleasantly with the memory of how his had moved against hers.

Her hands stayed on his chest, soaking in their closeness as she looked up at him with a small smile. She wasn't sure of what to say. What were you supposed to say at a moment like this? 'Oh, that was nice?' Somehow that didn't seem fitting. Instead of saying anything, she let her fingers curl into the fabric of his robe, unwilling to let him move away as she stretched up to kiss him again.

Phoenix knew after she leaned down and captured his lips in another kiss that she definitely didn't wish it hadn't happened. This time he allowed the kiss to deepen, parting his mouth just so and moving it slowly against hers in a pace that was in synch with her own responses. He wasn't inexperienced in this field, but he'd been very cautious about whom he'd chosen to have such an intimate moment with. Being someone who was afraid of vulnerability, he's very worried about kissing the wrong people. He didn't wish to regret anything...

He certainly didn't feel like he was going to, with Kendra. Everything felt right, which made him unafrad to move forward. He was almost tempted to stand up fromt he chair, but it seemed with sitting on the high stool, their heights were aligned closer, making things easier for them. Still, he had the certain rigidness in his posture, even though he was closer to her now than he ever was with anyone in a long while. His hands wound around her waist as he carefully brought him a little forward, towards him between the vee of his legs as he continued to kiss her, liking the way those lips felt against his own...
