"I don't know," Angel shrugged, catching the ball and throwing it back. "You got any ideas?"

I caught the ball with my left hand.
"I guess its inevitable that the pretty girl will attract the attention of the bad guys," I said, "I mean they don't want to be seen with less attractive girls do they? Doesn't do a lot for their image."
I laughed and tossed the ball back over to Angel

"One flaw with your theory," Angel said, catching it and throwing it back. "I'm not pretty."

"I beg to differ," I replied, palming the ball against the floor so it bounced straight back to Angel.

Angel sighed, shaking her head slightly. "Maybe you're blind?" She suggested, not bothering to throw the ball back. The words on it were still written and she read them over and over slowly, tears coming to her eyes.

I walked over to Angel and pushed her hands down, making her drop the ball on the floor and putting my arms around her.
"No tears."

"I can't help it," Angel whispered, letting the tears fall. "I loved him and he did this. And then I loved Jacob and he beat me. Then Onix and he tried to kill me. Then Dillon and now he's avoiding me. Maybe it's not the guys... Maybe it's just me."

"How about we test that theory?" I said, resting my chin on the top of Angel's head.

"How about we go for a drink at The Three Broomsticks?" I asked. "What do you say?"

Angel shrugged. "I don't care."

"You don't care..."
I took a step back from Angel and turned around running both my hands through my hair.
"I'm sorry. I dont know if that came across as I would have liked it to..." I continued. "Um..."
I let out a deep sigh and shoved my hands into my pockets.
"Nevermind." I said, with an all too obviously forced smile.

Angel looked at him, wiping her tears away. "I did go to drama for fifteen years, I can tell a forced smile when I see one. What is it?"

I stood with a blank expression on my face before nervously clapping my hands together.
"Its nothing," I lied. "I should probably get back to the common room and get some studying done... or something."
I walked up to Angel and gave her a quick hug.
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Angel Simons." I said, giving her a quick soft kiss on the cheek. "Let me know if you want to go for that drink."
I turned and headed for the door.

Angel stood up and grabbed his arm. "You're not getting away that easily. Tell me what it is or I'll lock the door so you can't get out."

"False imprisonment, huh?" I chuckled.
I turned and looked at her.
Out with it Hiei!
"You deserve better."

Angel looked at him in confusion. "Huh?"

"All the tears and the bad experiences with guys..." I paused. I had no idea if what I was saying was out of order or not, but I felt I needed to speak my mind.
"You're a lot more than you think you are." I continued. "Granted I've only ever met you once but I find that I'm a good judge of character."

Angel looked at him silently. "Anything else or is that it?" She asked softly.

I cleared my throat and rubbed my slightly stubbled chin nervously.
"Um... Maybe I could show you that not all guys... and by that I mean me... are like the ones you've dated so far? No, okay, thats fine."
I turned around quickly with embarrassment and headed towards to door again, unable to wait around for it to be thrown back in my face in rejection.

Angel stood there in shock for a few moments before grabbing his arm again.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said anything," I said without turning around.

Angel walked up to him slowly and faced him. "Why?"

Post by Vincent Hiei on Jul 30, 2007 22:26:39 GMT
"Why shouldn't I have said anything?" I repeated, "Because you've got a lot on your plate at the moment. Plus, we don't really know each other. I guess it was just a little selfish of me."

Angel didn't say anything, just wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his lips to hers.

I just stood there. The shock took over me and I was completely paralized.

Angel pulled away again. "Well, now I'll be going before I humiliate myself even more," she whispered, heading for the door.

"Hey! Woah!"
I grabbed her arm, almost tripping over a desk in the process.
"Humiliate yourself?"

"Well you didn't exactly kiss back, did you?" Angel asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Very true..." I stated, "I was just a little taken back by the... um..."
I stood waving my hands about in what were evidently nervous gestures, before letting out a big sigh.
"Close your eyes."
