(open) serenade of the helpless

[ROSALIE BRAONAIN]

“I’ve played left 4 dead now that was fun, I always die though- it’s really bad!” She chuckled, “You’re just going to have to teach me how to be good at them – but I’ve heard of resident evil it’s on the list as well.” Covering her mouth she yawned and leant against Zyro’s chest. While her eyelids felt heavy and every so often she’d blink and feel her lashes flutter against her skin for a split second longer than a usual blink – she fought the urge to sleep. She didn’t want to sleep yet, for one she’d probably snore she was such an ugly sleeper she hardly wanted to embarrass herself by doing some sort of weird twitch or mumbling something embarrassing. Not when she was starting to like him, which was weird considering she’d only really just met him, but he did seem sweet, and he was handsome – she blushed again.

“Yeah, I’m so ready to sleep when I get back, but tomorrow sounds perfect,” she grinned, “I even promise not to faint and everything.” She joked, realizing how silly she must have looked curled up under that tree.
She chuckled softly at the thought of Zyro wondering around hopelessly in some busy city. There were plenty of times during the move to London from her home that she’d gotten lost – it’d always been so embarrassing her sense of direction was terrible and – she paused in her thoughts had he just called her beautiful? She blushed again not used to the compliment; no one had ever called her beautiful before.

“Well you’re hot too,” she said without thinking, her eyes widened and suddenly she speaking at a mile a minute “I mean, you have really good taste in films and stuff and thanks for helping me.” She chuckled nervously.
“So where about are you from,” she asked quickly changing the subject, “I’m from London, it was a really big change of pace moving here.”

"I can do that. I, for one, and pretty good, If I do say so myself." He reached the school steps and let the shadows go, re-locking his gauntlet as he did. He didn't feel like getting in trouble with Lucky again, so felt that he should release his power. He was pretty sure that the ghosts were gone, but didn't want to risk it until he reached the school grounds at least.

"It's a date then" He said winking. Whoa, where did this sudden confidence come from? As he walked through the halls he heard he comment on how he was hot. He laughed aloud at that one. He'd never been called that before, and he suspected, do to her tone, that her qualifications were only part of her meaning. Huh, he had a chance. Up until this point he figured that she was taken. I mean really, she's beautiful, how could she not be taken. He found that he was truly glad that he was wrong. Tomorrow should be fun.

"Actually, I'm from around here. Virginia, I mean. I grew up in the countryside, so not a huge change, when it comes to scenery." He approached the infirmary and knocked on the door. When a nurse answered questioning he boy with a girl in his arms, Zyro simply said that the girl needed to have a check-up, and that he found her weak and disoriented on the ground. "Sorry." He told Rose, "It's the easiest explanation."

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said as he put her down. He gave her a hug, and in a spontaneous decision, kissed her on the top of the head. As the nurse he had spoken to brought her inside, he smiled to her and left, going on his way to to his room in the dorm, looking forward to the next day, when he'd be able to see her again.

As they reached the school grounds, Rose watched curiously as Zyro locked the gauntlet and the see through shadow powered sphere disappeared, she found it amazing how he controlled the power. If only there was something like that for banshees then she wouldn’t have a problem- but sadly there wasn’t. The warmth of the school greeted Rose like a friendly hug, it was as if the school held an aura of protection and comfort and here she was safe from the outside threats.

Date; gosh it had been months since she’d been on a date - not that Rose had many, her last had been her first was a complete failure with an absolute self-involved dick head who constituted taking a girl to his hair appointment as a first date – needless to say she’d made her excuses and scurried away as quickly possible.
But Zyro was a nice guy, she could tell after all he’d basically saved her, and a movie sounded great.
“Y-yeah,” she said shyly, “It’s a date.” She reiterated with tiny smile cheeks burning red.
As they entered the nurses office she nodded weakly at the nurse, who gave her a questioning glance.
“Y-yeah it was my powers,” she said weakly to the nurse.

As Rose was settled down she felt to arms wrap around her and pull her into a hug, wrapping her arms around him in a quick movement she smiled softly though her widened as she felt soft lips press against her temple. For a moment she was unsure of what to say, surprise had taken hold of her senses but it wasn’t at all uncomfortable. Finally Rose found her voice.
“Thanks for helping me.” She said tiredly as Zyro bid goodbye finally allowing the exhaustion to take hold, though she fought it with a grin. Excited for their film date tomorrow
