The stars are fading...I'm still here waiting.

[Audrey Hitchcock]

Audrey Hitchcock sat at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall, trying not to think too much about what she and Mike had done the night before. It wasn't going so well. She really wouldn't have minded thinking about it, but when she did, whe tended to space out on what her friends were saying, and the girl hadn't gotten around to telling her two best friends, Kat and Hunter, yet. She was more than her fair share of nervous about how they would react. She was definitely going to tell them separately.

Everyone at the table was going on about what a nice day it was outside, but Audrey hadn't paid any attention to the sky when she'd walked past the numerous windows on her way to the Great Hall this morning. At the moment the redhead's thoughts were dominated by her boyfriend, Mike, and when he was going to make an appearance. How obvious would it be to the other people at the table that they'd gone a whole lot farther than Audrey had intended them to for a while. Not that Audrey regretted it. No, she definitely didn't regret it. Although she did blush when she thought about it for more than a moment or two. Where is Mike? she wondered.

[Mike Blaze]

Mike Blaze rolled over in his bed, half asleep, he looked around from his current position, the dormitory seemed rather quiet. He had stayed up a few hours more the previous night, after Audrey had gone to bed, thinking about things, mainly of course, of his girlfriend. He rolled on to his stomach in bed and checked his watch, 11:00. Damn, he had over slept, he sat up, pulled on his jeans and a plain black shirt. He put on his shoes as well, Audrey must be waiting, he said to himself. Promised her I'd see her first thing in the morning, that already didn't happen.

He walked down the stairs from his dormitory, through the Ravenclaw Common Room and down the Grand Staircase. People who Mike knew said different greetings to him, which Mike returned half heartedly, he would stay to talk, but he was already anxious to get downstairs. Making his say down the last flight of steps he looked in to the Great Hall, his eyes gazing directly to the Gryffindor Table, and there he saw Audrey, smiling, he ran the last few steps and walked in to the Great Hall, heading for the Gryffindor Table. He walked up behind her, sliding his hands over her eyes, "Guess who." he said smirking, and kissed her neck.

[Audrey Hitchcock]

"Guess who." he said smirking, and kissed her neck.

Audrey jumped a little, spooked out of her reverie. "Hmmm..." she started, feining ignorance. "Mike?" She laughed a little and kissed him. "Good morning, sleepy head."


OOC: Sorry it's so lame. I don't know what to say. It'll be better from now on.

[Mike Blaze]

Audrey jumped a little, spooked out of her reverie.

He laughed, "Scare you much? he asked, grinning.

She laughed a little and kissed him. "Good morning, sleepy head."


He kissed her back and fell on to the bench next to her, "Yeah, would've been up earlier, but I stayed up a little after you went to bed, a few hours or so, thinking." he said, rubbing one of his eyes out of exhaustion. He took an apple from one of the plates nearest to him. "What time did you get up?" he asked her biting part of the apple, he let his eyes wander the Great Hall for a minute, to take in his surroundings to see who was in here this morning. He surveyed the Ravenclaw Table for a moment, he saw a few Ravenclaws, no one in particular that he knew anyhow. "Was thinking of going to the Quidditch Pitch later to get some flying in, you interested in coming and joining me up there with a broom?" he asked her, turning his eyes back on her. By asking if she'd join him up on the broom, he meant one broom, not two seperate rooms, he grinned, waiting for her reply.

[Audrey Hitchcock]

"Yeah, would've been up earlier, but I stayed up a little after you went to bed, a few hours or so, thinking."

Audrey rolled her eyes. "After I went back to the tower, you mean. I only slept for about and hour. Maybe two. I've been up since about 7:30." The girl smiled at him. "We could always just go lay by the lake, you know. I brought a blanket. We can spread it out and take a nap." The girl looked Mike over again. "You look like you could use a good nap." Audrey put her hand against Mike's face, trying to be comforting and caring. She pulled it away a second after she touched his face. "You apparently forgot to shave before you came down." The girl winked at Mike. She really didn't mind a bit of scruff, though she was having a hard time seeing Mike with any sort of facial hair. Maybe it would look good. She smiled at the thought. It would be interesting at the very least.

[Mike Blaze]

"We could always just go lay by the lake, you know. I brought a blanket. We can spread it out and take a nap." The girl looked Mike over again. "You look like you could use a good nap."

Mike nodded at this idea, "Sounds good." he said grinning, obviously he'd love to lay with Audrey by his side, but truthfully, he'd love to get a bit of a rest as well. "After you finish eating we can head out there." he added.


"You apparently forgot to shave before you came down."

"You think I forgot," he said smirking, truthfully, he was lazy and didn't feel like shaving, he wouldn't mind growing it out a bit, but when it started growing in alot, he'd probably get around to shaving, eventually. He rubbed his chin. Then he finished his apple, setting the core down on an empty plate, he didn't realize just how exhausted he was, he gently placed his head on Audrey's shoulders, grinning, looking at her with an almost child like look in his eyes.

[Audrey Hitchcock]

"After you finish eating we can head out there."

Audrey rolled her eyes. "I've been down here for hours! I don't eat that much." She was only joking. Audrey knew that Mike would never insinuate that she ate too much. He was too much of a gentleman for that.

"You think I forgot," he said smirking...he gently placed his head on Audrey's shoulders, grinning, looking at her with an almost child like look in his eyes.

The girl stood up, grabbing her bag. "Come on, Scruffy. Let's go take a nap." Audrey was really tired so it probably wouldn't be long after they laid down that she fell asleep. She smiled to herself. Asleep in Mike's arms.

[Mike Blaze]

The girl stood up, grabbing her bag. "Come on, Scruffy. Let's go take a nap."

"Hey... it doesn't look that bad, does it?" he asked, rubbing his chin. He shrugged, putting an arm around her shoulders, he slung his big up over his other shoulder. Finally, a chance to get some more sleep, he had been waiting for this moment for the last several nights and of course, him laying with her asleep in his arms. He never passed up a chance to be close to Audrey. He walked with her still pulled close to him and they finally came down by the lake. "Good spot, I'd say." he said, grinning. Truthfully any spot was good, as long as he could sleep, and also, anywhere when she was with him was the perfect spot. He took his arm from her shoulders and threw his bag down on the ground, he then fell back on to the grass, looking in to the sky for a moment, and closed his eyes for a moment.
