Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Sylias felt his eye twitch. Since the beginning of the year, he had a front row seat to watch his schoolmates, male and female, flirt with Ash - his Ash. At first, he thought it was amusing when Ash became all flustered when someone flirted with her; however, it started getting on his nerves when his time with her was cut off.
Like now.
When Sylias woke up this morning, he was happy. It was Saturday, which meant no classes and hanging out with Ash all day. He had been looking forward to spending some quality time with Ash; however, when he entered the Great Hall, he saw that she was surrounded by people and her cheeks were quickly turning a shade of red a tomato would be jealous of.
His hands twitched, wanting to strangle something. Certain things in particular. But he knew that he wasn't jealous.
Really. He wasn't.
His hands tightened into fists as another person - a certain platinum blond - flirted with Ash.
…Okay, so he was jealous. It just made matters worse that, a few days ago, he admitted to himself - and to two others - that he might have a crush on her too.
And no matter whom he went to for advice, every single one of his attempts ended in the same result.
Blaise suggested Sylias court Ash. Sylias tried courting her. She was oblivious to his attempts.
Daphne suggested Sylias woo Ash with gifts. Sylias bought her gifts. She gave them away when someone asked for them.
Ash herself suggested Sylias confess to the other. Sylias confessed to her. She misunderstood him and thought he was practicing.
Sylias was at his wits end that he even asked Professor Lupin for advice - "Sometimes, actions speak louder than words." There was nothing wrong about asking him for advice, but Sylias wasn't sure on whether or not Professor Lupin wouldn't turn out to be like Quirrell or Lockhart.
Sylias blinked and mentally sighed before glancing at Ash. He saw red as Finnegan kissed HIS Ash on the cheek.
That was the last straw for the Slytherin heir. Walking up to Ash, he pulled her towards him and kissed her senseless. He pulled back and, after being certain she could stand, walked out of the great hall, leaving almost everyone speechless.
Ash touched her lips, blushing heavily at what had occurred before smiling. She turned and smiled sheepishly at her friends before running to catch up to Sylias.
