the eye of the tiger - Adrian

it was the first match of the season. or at least he thought it was. adrian wasn't one to follow sports, especially when he had other things going on. to be honest the only reason he even went to the games on time was because of her. she was always reminding him to go sit and cheer her on. it wasn't that adrian didn't like quidditch. okay he didn't like it and that was because he wasn't a fan of heights. he wouldn't even dare touch a broom his first year. he would honestly run away. every time the instructor would bring his broom near him. it wasn't a pretty site and he had gotten in trouble a few times because of it. so yeah flying, heights and him was not something you mixed. he didn't mind watching the matches, but he really just needed to learn how to keep track of times and such. em would murder him if he missed any of her matches. it had happened once. where was he? in the library catching up on homework, okay so he was getting ahead on his assignments. it was fairly easy for him to fall behind. a couple of sleepless nights could do that to a guy. he quickly apologized by treating her out to eat and buying her some candy. food always fixed everything right. he made sure this time he wouldn't be late. he ignored the weird looks he seemed to have been getting as he made his way toward the hufflepuff side of the stands. to say the least the match was anything but boring. there had been certain moments when he caught himself standing on the bleachers rooting for em like crazy. everything was going by so fast it was almost hard to keep track of who did what. even harder to spot the small blonde. it seemed like the match was over as the final goal was made. everyone but the slytherins seemed to burst out in cheer. he made his way down to their familiar meeting place. the locker rooms, it wasn't anything special. he had always followed the groups who went to congratulate the winning team, some how he always ended up next to em. not that that was a bad thing. he always stuck around waiting for her after the groups left. it was just something that he had always done, it was like a habit. do this then you do that. of course there had been times when he forgot to show up to the matches, but that was besides the point. he made sure he was always around for em. he seemed to be the crowds this time as he made his way towards her. his eyes spotting random team members still on the pitch. he laughed at her response."of course im here, i wouldn't miss your match...you'd kill me if i did that again."adrian said with a laugh."so i would of brought you flowers, or something, but i remember you hate cliches and this isn't a romantic get together."he teased her as he walked in before taking a seat on the bench. she seemed frazzled as the grin remained on his face as he playfully tousled her hair."great work out there?"he didn't mean for it come out sounding like a question, but he had been by her so many times that he learned that if she was by herself something was clearly wrong.

he didn't make a habit of breaking promises, it made him look bad and that's the last thing he wanted, especially when those promises were for friends, people he cared about. even if it was a silly thing he always made sure to pull through. just like showing up after games to meet up with em. of course with em, he wasn't going to forget. especially with most of her greetings had started with, hey don't forget. he could remember the exact day but there had been a time where she had sent him a howeler....it was the nosiest thing ever. pretty much gave him a heart attack when he opened it. again it had been another reminder. he watched her as she dropped her things and ran towards him. if anyone were to come in right now they'd they these two were an item, but that was far from it. em liked to be held and ever carried once in a while. adrian figured it helped that he was tall. his hands wrapped around her to keep her from falling, just in case. he laughed when she messed with his hair." i know, i know. its why i showed up. i didn't want to die this young."he said as he let her go as she dropped to the floor. he shook his head at her next comment."i thank who ever is in charge up there, that you did not have to come to that.....horny little girls..."adrian said with an eyebrow raised in surprise."if that were the case, i'd just follow you everywhere....i will not suffer alone."he said sticking his tongue out at her as well. she had been here by herself, usually he'd just wait till she was done celebrating with her team to congratulate her. he treaded slowly on that topic, even though they had won she wasn't happy."well how the hell did he make it on the team?"adrian asked shaking his head."don't let it get to you, he's probably picking on you because he likes you."adrian said teasingly a laugh escaping his lips."he was probably trying to figure out the best way to get your attention."he continued still laughing. he had taken a seat by then and watched as she got her things together. he nodded in agreement."probably."he shook his head at her next comment."not even if i was paid.....don't make it sound like its my fault. some people don't know how to play this game."he said with a grin."don't look at me like that....you make me think you have an evil plot forming in that crazy mind of yours."he said teasingly as he brushed her hand away after she managed to pinch his cheeks."oh you know this and that. classes, same old same old."he laughed at her comment."ravencalw women are overrated, i want to expand my horizons, maybe go for a bit of the slytherin women, maybe even go after a hufflepuff."he smirked at her playfully."you know im terrible at dating...lets just not go there."he said with a laugh."what about you? any suitors i need to investigate?"he said nudging her back.
