[untodeath]

[ The more he hesitates, the more antsy she becomes. Really, she expected him to refuse in the first place, but now, he's keeping her at the edge while he decides. It's nearly excruciating! ]

I've even got a blanket in my enchanted coat... Come on♥~

[death_glare]

[ Shaking her hand free from his, he looks to where he guesses her eyes may be. ]

We best not get caught. I do not want another detention on my record.

[ And with that he uncorks the vial, taking it back in one swig. Over the next few moments, a tingling sensation slowly flows through his body and the image of Grell beside him comes back into focus. He can only assume that means the potion worked. ]

[untodeath]

Oh, no, I certainly don't intend to! That would only ruin our fun.

[ And when he sees her, Grell is positively beaming, fingers laced as her hands press to her breast. He actually did it! She even bounces in place a bit, not realising he can actually see her. ]

We'll have to be quick-- mine is due to run out soon!

[death_glare]

Stop bouncing and get going, then.

[ Able to see her now, he spins her around, urging her forwards with a shove the the back.

Thankfully, it's much quicker to get out on the castle grounds from the dungeon than the Gryffindor or Ravenclaw towers. Quite handy for those Slytherins who over sleep too often. William apparently knows a few short cuts, too and has to pull Grell along when she heads in the wrong direction. ]

[untodeath]

[ Saying as much, she stops cold - and grabbing onto her in such a way only confuses her further - so she'll be giving a squeak of surprise when she's pushed forward! Perhaps all for the best, though, because they ARE on a time limit.

All giggles when he tugs her about, she's just having the time of her life, having convinced the tight-laced William to be naughty with her. By the time they reach the bleachers, she's bounding up them, arms swaying as she searches for the perfect spot-- comfy up against the railings, and indiscreet in the way it's blocked by the announcement tower.

Sitting down, she quietly hisses at how cold the benches have become, and immediately figs into her pockets to find the blanket she'd mentioned, and give it a good shake out! ]

It's a bit colder than I anticipated. How nice that you can keep me warm~

[death_glare]

[ Even William flinches as he sits down. It'd been getting warmer the past few weeks, what with their equivalent of spring break nearly here, so the chilled benches are even more of a surprise. ]

Thankfully it's not windy.

[ He may just agree to more cuddles because of the temperature! ]

[untodeath]

[ Draping the blanket behind her, she reaches behind William to cover his shoulders, as well. ]

We'd have been a bit in trouble, if it were! [ And she must scoot a bit closer, so that she can fully close the blanket around them. ] Still, it's a bit nice, isn't it?

[death_glare]

Refreshing, I suppose.

[ Just as Grell scoots closer, William scoots away. But she'll soon realize it's so he can lean more comfortably against one of the sides of the tower. Then, a bit more open to the physical contact, he pulls her close again. ]

[untodeath]

[ Grell doesn't hide her disappointment in the way her torso droops. She's quite surprised that he's actually want her closer, after that, no less that he'd pull her! She gasps, even!

It takes no time at all for her to relax against him, though, crooning. ]

Mn, but just look at how beautiful the moon is.

[death_glare]

Hm.

[ He watches the full moon as a few clouds drift before it. ]

Angelina seems eager to share you with me.

[untodeath]

[ With a sniff of laughter, Grell's gaze shifts to him. ]

She's a devious thing. Intuitive. A bit meddlesome, even.

[ Her smile dissipates ever so slightly. ]

I sense that you're unsure if you are okay with it, though.

[death_glare]

[ It takes him a bit to respond. When he does, his voice sounds slightly less steady than it always has been. ]

You're the only one who's ever paid me any mind. In an overly abundant and irritating fashion, yes, but I'm not sure how I would feel if you stopped.

[untodeath]

[ Mouth working a bit, she brings the blanket a little closer to her neck. ]

Are you afraid of losing me, or just being lonely?

[death_glare]

[ He thinks on her question a moment. ]

Do those not go hand in hand?

[untodeath]

[ Closing her eyes, she sighs. ]

You're a handsome man, Will. Intimidating, but in that most intriguing way. If not me, I'm certain you'd find someone. You wouldn't be lonely.

[death_glare]

Unfortunately, I'm not that optimistic on the topic.

[ Hearing her imply that she'd be okay with him finding another has a sharp pain prick at his chest. ]

Is that my answer, then? You may leave me at some point?

[untodeath]

[ That earns her attention once more, the redhead looking all too alarmed! ]

What? That's not what I-- [ With a HUFF, she leans her head into his shoulder, shaking it. ] No. I just... want to find love, not be settled for, is all. The truth is, I'd have you either way.

[death_glare]

[ He hums in understanding. ]

It's ridiculous really. I want someone to care for me, but I'm not quite sure how return that affection.

[untodeath]

[ It's her turn to hum. Lifting her head, she glances up at him. ]

You could start by saying that you wish for that someone to be me...

[death_glare]

[ Of course that stubborn mind of his has him waiting a few moments. He really doesn't have to think it over, but he can't help running everything through his mind again first. ]

I do wish that.

[untodeath]

[ Lips parting, Grell's breath wavers, colour touching her cheeks. Sitting upright, she raises a hand to gently draw her fingertips along his cheek, by his lips - coveting them with her gaze, before it rises to meet his. ]

And... perhaps kiss me?

[death_glare]

[ For once, he doesn't pull away from her touch, or smack her hands away. Instead he keeps his eyes locked on hers until she speaks. ]

I can't promise I will be any good at it.

[ Whether or not he is will be up to her assessment afterwards. It's a forceful kiss, closed mouth but not at all short duration. ]

[untodeath]

[ Forceful enough to draw a surprised little hum out of her-- but, hell, she loves that about it. Even if his lips are a bit tense, it seems perfect somehow. The way emotion swells within her chest, warming her despite the cold.

Lashes fluttering, both hands find their way to his cheeks as she tilts into the embrace of his lips, parting her own just so to lock into them. Thumbs brush over his soft skin, palms brushing along his cheekbones until her fingers can thread into his short, mussed hair. ]

[death_glare]

[ The feeling of her fingertips massaging his scalp has him giving his own pleasant hum, as well. It's something he didn't think could possibly feel as nice as films depicted it. He's willing to let her continue on, even giving in to a second kiss when their lips finally part from the first. ]

[untodeath]

[ Grell makes a softly pleasured sound as he moves in for a second kiss. She dares to be a bit more assertive, herself, lips brushing along his upper with the faintest smack before doing the same for his lower. Perhaps to see what he likes - perhaps to coach him a bit. It's innocent enough, at least. ]
