I believe in a thing called love

[wwistful]

WHO: Murdoc, Bro and Rhys
TONE: Horrifying (Hilarious)
RATING: PG-13 to R?? It's these three.
WHEN: Feb 10th onward
WHERE:  The halls
WHAT: Bro and Murdoc are great egg daddies, Rhys gets a whiff of the love potion and has eyes for Murdoc.
STATUS: Ongoing

[Murdoc had no intention of participating in the activities. It seemed like a silly waste of time and honestly, this sort of thing rarely ends well in Hogwarts. He really doesn't want to turn into a lady or a pirate again. He'll never live it down if it happens again. It's embarrassing enough that students still mutter 'yarr' under their breath when they think he isn't listening.

However, when Bro greeted him with the egg baby in his arms he could hardly say no, could he? He still owes Bro a bit of focused attention after hurting his feelings so badly and quietly, he feels like this could be a nice way to grow even closer to his boyfriend. If they can trust each other with an egg baby, surely their relationship will develop even further in a pleasing way. They've already named it, too. Their egg is called Celia and everything is going swimmingly.

They're walking together down the halls, Murdoc listening as Bro recounts his day for him. He's carrying the egg for now, and he's being as attentive as possble as he does. Until he sees Rhys, and he feels the great urge to toss Celia at him. However, he needs to swallow his hatred and pause for a moment as he feels the egg rustling in his hands.]

Ah! It's movin'! [He exclaims, looking both excited and terrified.] I think it's about to hatch!! [It's actually kind of strange how hyped up he's getting.]

[When Rhys shows up at Murdoc's office at four, he's figured out something's wrong. Unfortunately, he can't figure out how he came under the influence of a love spell and none of the usual antidotes seem to be doing a damn thing. He probably should go talk to Gkika or Dolores, but it's too embarrassing - he can just wait it out, it'll probably wear off in a day or two. He should also probably not show to this meeting, but ... well. A little time alone with the other man is too tempting to give up, even if nothing's going to happen. It can't hurt to talk to the other professor, can it?]

Donoghue?

[Murdoc hasn't quite suspected the sudden change of heart. He knows Rhys well enough to see when he's acting off, but all he gathered from a couple of cruel jabs at himself and his partner and an insistance toward seeing him would be that he wants to discuss what they went over at the New Years Eve party. Murdoc still cringes every time he remembers Rhys yelling like that, though he isn't scared of facing him again if he wants to argue some more. Overall, he'd been too distracted by his suddenly near irresistible boyfriend and their apparent egg baby to really take note of Rhys. Yet, he's still dreading this meeting..

Still, he jumps a little when Rhys shows himself. Despite keeping an eye on the time, he'd gotten a little lost in this shambles of an essay. He composes himself and pauses to skritch a scathing note about the importance of spelling before he shifts it to the side and puts his quill down.]

Ah, Rhydderch. What was it you wanted to talk about?

[higherthaneverybody]

I actually had a proposal for you. [Rhys folds his hand behind his back, glancing around the office and not quite looking at Murdoc. He's a little afraid he'll just start staring.] Concerning lessons plans. I thought we might be more effective if we coordinated certain lectures.

Oh? [He raises an eyebrow, watching Rhys carefully. Why isn't he looking at him? What is he up to? ...Oh.] You think so? [He can't help looking horribly uncomfortable at that. He doesn't want to admit that just being alone with Rhys right now is enough to make him uncomfortable.]
