WHO: Ellis and Dave
TONE: Funny and also lovey!!
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: Backdated during the egg stuff
WHERE: Library
WHAT: Unbeknownst to Ellis, Dave was around when his and Nick's egg hatched. Love potion shenanigans ensue.
STATUS: Ongoing

[The hatching of their egg had been exciting, to say the least. Very exciting. He'd been looking forward to it ever since they got their egg, and he hadn't been let down. It was just as awesome as he'd anticipated. But... ever since it happened, he'd been feeling funny. He couldn't get Nick off his mind. He'd never thought about Nick so much in his life, and it was... confusing. But gosh, Nick was just so amazing. But right now he was trying very desperately not to think about that. Nick was gone now and he was supposed to be focusing on their little snake. Not... Nick.

And he didn't know that there was someone else in the library with him, so he's busy making cooing noises at his new baby snake and trying really, really hard not to think about Nick. Man they sure did make a cute little baby snake together, didn't they?

Wait...

That was a weird thought to have.

Focus on the snake, Ellis.]

[Fuck Dave's love life. He doesn't even know this Hufflepuff all that well! But the kid's just...so cute. He can't even put his finger on why the dude's cute and attractive and oh Jesus kill him now if this is another crush. It feels like another crush. Why is he having a crush-at-first-sight?

His love life simply isn't fair. He's starting to get that drilled into his head.

The question is...how is he going to approach this kid? Obviously, it needs to be casual and smooth as only a Strider can be. It's only as he's thinking that when disaster comes knocking at Dave's door for a cup of sugar. Dave starts pulling out a pretty hefty book, but as his focus is all on a certain cutie, the book slips from the shelf and onto his foot. Gravity, mass, and velocity take its toll on Dave's foot with sadistic pleasure.]

Fuck, shit!

[Ellis is completely and totally oblivious to the youngest Strider's crush problems, considering he seems to have one of his own right now. Even if he's in complete and firm denial. He's also completely oblivious to Dave's presence in the library, as his thoughts continue to go to Nick and not on the snake that is currently on the table in front of him, which he's idly stroking with his fingers.

It's the sound of the book falling and Dave cursing that alerts him to his presence, and the first words out of his mouth that come out are ones that shouldn't be coming from his mouth in the first place.]

Nick-

Oh...

[As he turns around and sees Dave, he sounds almost... disappointed. Actually, he definitely does. He thought maybe Nick had come back, but instead it's just... this kid.]

It's just you. I thought you were somebody else... Ya alright there?
