Take shelter and hide forever

WHO: Link and Georgia
TONE: Super awkward
RATING: PG
WHEN: January 20th
WHERE: That hallway on that one floor.
WHAT: Georgia and Link haven't spoken since the Truth event, and Link feels that Georgia is purposely avoiding him because of that whole gay for Puck nonsense. Well, Link's decided he's had enough of that.
STATUS: ONGOING



It had been a month or more since Link and Georgia last spoke, and even then it had been under.. unfair circumstances. There were a few things Link never intended to say to Georgia. Ever. But the option to keep quiet wasn't available at the time, and well, things went awry. Link could understand why Georgia was ignoring him. It's not everyday a good-looking boy like him admits he's gay. Or maybe it does. Link didn't exactly keep up with that sort of thing.

Today, he wanted to change things. It was hard enough being in the same house let alone having the same group of friends. He needed to talk to her. He needed to clear some things up.

Okay, now it was Link's turn to feel bad. He didn't mean to get snippy with her. "It's been rough, but I'm at least doing what I can to get through the awkwardness." He took a deep breath and shifted a bit. "Puck knows. I kind of.. told him without thinking about it. And Amber knows. Oh, and Cassie knows. She was the one who brought it up first, actually."

Georgia already knew about Cassie; she'd been furious at the Hufflepuff for a few weeks for not telling her. She also knew about Amber because he'd mentioned it before (although it was too weird to contemplate why Amber would be Link's beardy person if she knew). But PUCK knew too? Blimey O'Reilly's pajamas, did everyone find out before her? "...I would not really worry about telling the whole world, I think you already have."

Link laughed a bit at that comment. He really had told everyone that mattered. Not that Georgia didn't matter before. He was just keeping a promise he made to Cassie, that was all. "It probably doesn't mean anything now, but I do really like you. And this whole thing is just stupid." He tilted his head to try to catch her eye. "You know it's stupid, right? I mean.. Do you really think I'd have a chance with Puck when there are girls like you around?"

Georgia caught his look and felt herself go a bit red at that. Boys were impossible to understand. One second they were like 'Oh I fancy that fit roommate of mine' and the next they were flattering you. It filled her with confusionosity. Even more than she usually had, which was saying quite a lot.

"It's not stupid. You're quite sweet, you know. And I am sure that any guy would think so too."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I don't think I'm going to be dating any guys anytime soon. Or ever." Link shot a smile and a wink her way. "We're okay now, right? I don't want to find out your avoiding me again because I'm not above chasing you down a hallway."

[nunganunga_k_o]

Georgia didn't get why he would say something like that. There were tons of homos in Hogwarts, why couldn't he just date one of them? Or was this a Puck only type of thing? She wasn't sure if she really wanted to know the answer, so she didn't push it.

Besides, she felt unexpectedly cheered up after their talk. She decided to loop arms with him. "Yes, we can be mates again. And you shouldn't chase me, I am quite fast, or so I've been told."

Well, this was nice. He definitely preferred happy Georgia to 'avoiding you like the plague' Georgia. "I'll keep in mind that if I have to bet on someone to win a race, I'll put all my money on you."
