"Not class," answered Ray, misunderstanding her question. "Lunch is in half an hour, though."

Desiree shook her head, a light grin on her face. "That's not what I meant." She pushed herself up and looked down on him, feeling uncharacteristically fluttery. "I meant, you and me, us. Are we...well, you know."

Ray turned slightly pink. "Oh. Well, if you want to be, I mean. I wouldn't mind. Dunno what Jess would have to say about all this, though."

Desiree sighed. "Can we leave Jess out of this for one minute please?" She layed down again, next to him, and rested her head on his shoulder. "I don't want to date you just because we snogged. I just want to know...if, well, if you fancied me at all. I don't want another of those meaningless teen relationships we always make fun of."

"I fancy you now. For sure. I don't think it's just because we snogged. But it's too soon to tell." He sat up, a little upset. "I'm sorry. This happened too fast." He looked back at Desiree, apologetic. "What about you? You haven't fancied me for a long time, have you?"

"Yeah we have to be back by the Halloween feast at eight" Jackson said picking up some stink pellets "Feel like picking on Filch?"

"Well..." She drummed her fingers on her stomach, her eyes closed. "I've liked you more than my other friends, I'll tell you that. I guess, well, yes, I think I did, but I was just oblivious." She opened her eyes and sat up. "And, well, I really liked holding your hand and pretending to be your girlfriend. I would kind of like being the real thing."

"And...you don't need time to think about this?" asked Ray, smiling. "Because when you think about it, there's not much left to do. We've snogged, and held hands and gone to class together and everything."
Leigh smiled, but shook her head. "We've done enough to the staff for one week," she answered.

Desiree nodded. "Well, then there's not too much left to think about. You liked doing those things, didn't you?"

"Well, yeah." Ray nodded slowly. "Okay. So, it's settled, then. We're...together. Glad that's all taken care of."

"Right." She held out her hand to shake it, all business like. "I like this. All the benefits without the drama of unberaable sexual tension."

Ray shook her hand. "No sexual tension here," he confirmed, slipping off the bed to find his robes and tie.

Desiree sat up and pulled her knees into her chest, smiling as she watched him straighten himself up. She couldn't help herself, but she got one of those light sensations in her stomach and chest that made her feel like, well, a teenage girl. She thought for a while back on those little things they did together, like a cheesy romantic montage in a chick flick and her expression only grew softer, happier.

"Yeah well anyway I'll get these and send them to my little sister you know as a souvinar if you know what I mean" Jackson said smiling.

Ray finally finished straightening his tie and looked at Desiree almost embarrassingly. She was fully clothed, yes, but there was something very exposed about her. "You can go and straighten up in the bathroom, if you'd like," he offered, jerking his head towards the bathroom.
Leigh shook her head. "You're vile," she answered, although she looked at the pellets with interest.
