Merlin, she wasn't sure why, but the idea of him trying something merely because she liked it made her blush in a way she never had before. The information that he was giving out, the fact that he would do something like that for her, well it meant a lot more than he really knew. No one had ever said that to Angie, but then again, no one had ever made her feel like she did right now and that was something special in her mind. Something to cherish and hold onto. And if it came down to it? Something to fight for.
"Oh good, I'm getting permission to monopolize your time. Excellent. My devious brain is already filling with things I want to show you and make you try with me," she said with a small giggle, pressing another stray strand of hair behind her ear and scooting closer to him. Because while she was trying to be good right now and not rush into the physical side of everything, that didn't discount the craving she had to be closer to him. To feel the warmth of his body radiating and the smell of the soap he used in the shower. It was semi intoxicating and she liked the way it made her feel, and how used to it she was already becoming. Not seeing him for a day? Well it was just plain annoying. Angie wanted to see him everyday.
And she couldn't help the stupid grin that spread across her face when he admitted that her presence was just as helpful to him as he was to her, so she didn't even try. The mutual feelings between them washed over her, and her heart fluttered the tiniest bit at the information. It was good to know she wasn't alone in her feelings in that moment, and that on at least a certain level, they were reciprocated. She wasn't sure she could stand a quarantine and being shot down by someone as amazing as Adrian Pucey. She was still beating herself up in the slightest bit that it had taken her so long to get to know him. But then again, maybe it was a good thing it had. They each had their own set of individual experiences, trials, and emotions that led up to this situation. This moment. Perhaps without something key, this all wouldn't have turned out to be as great as it was now. And the fact did remain they were still relatively young. It wasn't as though they were pushing fifty and had just stumbled onto each other.
"Yeah.. the less nerve-wracking part? It's pretty mutual, so you're aware. I think I might have already been locked away in the hospital wing if not for you. You know.. gone off the deep end. Round the bend. Started ranting and raving about something ridiculous. You've given me something to focus on besides all the bad. You make me remember this situation doesn't have to be total shite, not really," she said cutely, tilting her head the slightest bit and giving him a shy grin.
Then she looked over at his bed and back at him, pursing her lips and shaking her head in the negative. "You know... you could sit in your own bed and read while I lie back down. Or I can use the couch. Or we can pretend we're mature adults and wander over there together. I promise to only try and cuddle with you a tiny bit," she teased, holding up her fingers barely a centimeter apart to emphasize her point.
"I don't expect anything, obviously. I want this to be good. To happen the right way. Scouts honor I won't go touching your private bits or anything, at least not yet. Or unless you want me to. But... the fact remains I like being around you. I like it when you're close. If that makes me a creep then so be it, I'm a total creep, but it's also the truth. Plus, I don't like the idea I'm keeping you from your own extremely comfortable bed. I swear to Merlin they give faculty 'magical amazing comfy- I want to lay in this forever beds'. Or maybe I'm just bias because everything smells like you and I like that." She shrugged then, as though the point she just made was the most obvious thing she could have said in the entire world.
