headmaster's office

@☾ Theo ℋ True, I've been there a few times and it's really one of my favorite places.
/curling up in your lap like a little kitten, letting out a content sigh as you played with my long locks, my dainty fingers playing with your tie that hung from your neck/
Yeah, it's weird all right. One of the many perks of having a family who cares about appearances.
Pureblood families are so weird, they have an obsession with being seen a certain way, it's annoying.
/my tone was sarcastic as I huffed, shaking my head once I thought about my family. My expression changed quickly from being annoyed to an adoring one, normal when I was around you. I cooed happily at your question, finding it adorable how you wanted to take care of me. I loved how you tried to take care of me instead of it being the other way around, like my past relationships/
You're too cute, you know that? No, I'm okay. You're already spoiling me with this trip, you don't need to spoil me more. I'll just go shopping there--you can go with me!
/exclaiming excitedly as I bounced in your lap, growing more and more excited once it sunk in that we would be able to be in public together and not have to worry about people finding out about us/

@☀ Paloma Running off probably. Your family is well off so they'll probably not blink an eye at Bora Bora.
/one of my hands came up so my fingers could thread through the back of your hair, before pressing you against me in a gentle hug once I feel you curl more into me, your head nudging into the crook of my neck.
I would find that so weird, spending time with my parents and this new person they want me to marry, have kids with.
/chuckles fondly at you as my arms loosen to gently hang around you, head lifting to peer down at your expression, tenderness and care laced in my tone as I speak, wanting to make sure you had everything you needed.
Do you want anything for the trip? New clothes? Swimwear? Jewelry?

@☾ Theo ℋ Yay!
/gleefully exclaiming as I clapped my hands together before locking them behind your neck nodding after you said when we would leave, letting out an oof as you played with my and tugged me towards your frame/
Hm...what should I tell them? That I have a secret rendezvous with a mysterious lover? Or that I'm running off to escape my responsibilites?
/teasingly murmuring as I moved my face closer to yours, placing a small peck on your nose before laying my head against your shoulder/
Nah, I'll just tell them my family's trying to set me up with another one of the friend's sons. It happens every once in awhile, they'll force me to take a trip with them so I can 'bond' with my 'future husband.
/rolling my eyes as I made air quotes around the words bond and future husband, knowing that my friends would just think it was another trip I was being forced to go on/

@☀ Paloma /as you began to shift towards me, my arms circled over the swell of your hips as my fingers locked loosely at the small of your back. chin slightly angled up so my eyes could flicker to each of yours in order to see the way they stared at me. Gently, my thumbs began smoothly caressing the tiny patch of skin as your shirt lifted a tad above the waistband of your skirt.
You're welcome. We leave tomorrow night, but we gotta take the boat over tomorrow morning.
/my palms slid down until my fingers lightly gripped your bottom, giving it a gentle squeeze that was just hard enough to tug you forward and against me, toothy grin aimed right up at you playfully.
So what are you gonna tell your friends?

@☾ Theo ℋ /I turned my head to the side to place a soft kiss against your temple as you placed your chin on my shoulder, eyes peering at the folder to see what you were pulling out/
Oh my--awe baby.
/letting out a happy gasp as you handed me the tickets, smiling softly at how sweet you were, my heart swelling since I had been struggling with coming to terms with keeping our relationship a secret. I cooed before turning in your lap so that I was facing you, my legs partially straddling your hips. I placed another soft kiss on your lips, smiling happily against yous/
I'd love to. You're so sweet for this, thank you.

@☀ Paloma /reluctant to take my hands off of you, I move a tad slower to grasp the envelope that you had fished out, presenting it in front of you as I perched my head on your shoulder, my fingers working deftly to slip inside and pull out two rectangular-shaped pieces of paper, presumably the tickets I bought.
I figured since we have a week before NEWTs begin we could fly away for a little? I know it bugs you to be so closed here, and honestly I haven't been able to spend as much time with you as I've wanted.
/now out of the envelope entirely, I hand you the tickets that state our destination as "Bora Bora"

@☾ Theo ℋ /I melted in your embrace as usual, letting out an airy laugh as you kissed your way down my neck.My grin only widened further at the sweet endearment you called me, cheeks growing pink with a blush before I leaned over to open up the draw and grab the folder, placing it in your large palm as you held it out. My head tilted curiously, wondering what could be in there that would be a surprise/
I'm intrigued now.

@☀ Paloma /welcoming you warmly into my embrace, my arms wind around you tightly until my forearm was resting over your lap and my palm of that same hand was gripping your thigh with a possessive hold. I tilt my chin up to accept your kiss with a reverberating smack, a sunshine-like grin present on my face before my free hand tucks back your hair in order to allow me to litter a plethora of kisses behind your ear to trail them to your neck as I mumble.
Open my top drawer and get the manila folder, then hand it to me princess.

@☾ Theo ℋ /My eyes shone happily after you waved me in, my heels clicking on the wooden floor as I briskly walked over to where you were sitting, cheeky grin on my face as I made my way over to your chair and plopped down onto your lap, arms winding around your thick neck as I cupped your chin and placed a loud kiss on it, the smack echoing throughout your office after I pulled back/
A surprise? I love surprises--what is it?

@☀ Paloma /tapping a quill against my tongue I then dab it into the ink before I place the tip against some old parchment, loopy swirls eloquently staining the cream colored paper before I'm interrupted by a knocking at the door. My face is pulled in that direction, eyes gleaming with hope that it was who I wanted, and not a meeting I forgot about or an assistant telling me someone else wanted to see me. I'm sure you could feel my smile radiating in your direction when I heard your voice ring out, and despite the door being cracked a bit I calmly and quietly say
Come in baby, I have a surprise for you.

@☾ Theo ℋ /I flounced over to the wooden doors with a spring in my step after receiving your text to meet you in your office, dressed casually for once in an off the shoulder white knt dress since it was the weekend, rapping on the door a few times before opening them up, peeking my head in with a wide smile, walking in after you motioned for me to enter/
I see you've summoned me, Headmaster?

@☾ Theo ℋ /I let out a sigh before pursing my lips, your fiery touch affecting me as you trailed your finger around my body, shivering slightly as you cuddled me close to you/
Would they really fire you over this? It's not like I'm underage, I'm not even a teenager anymore--!
/I let out a huff before falling silent, listening to you as you explained what we would have to do, a displeased frown on my lips. It soon disappeared after I felt and heard you sigh, glancing up at you through long eyelashes as I suddenly felt a pang of guilt for making you feel stressed. I suddenly switch my frown to a small grin, figuring that it was better to love you in private than not get to love you at all/
Tutoring and secret rendezvous? How exciting.
/a cat like smirk on my face as I looked up at you once more, leaning up to press a peck against the stubble adorning your face, a hand reaching up to caress your cheek, wanting to smoothe away your worry lines/
We'll be fine papi, I just don't like keeping you a secret but--we have no other choice. Don't frown, you'll get wrinkles.
/a more lighthearted and teasing tone to my voice as I continued to your face, feeling bad that I had brought the mood down from earlier. I kissed your chest as you continued to play with my hair, bringing up our conversation from earlier/
Well--where were we?

@☀ Paloma Did I now? You must have quite the eye to notice that....
/lithe fingers pinned your hair behind your ear as you spoke, noting the sweeter intonations against the sharper ones, before letting my fingers glide down your jaw, only to drift down your neck and eventually come to run up and down your bicep.
I'm not gonna lie to you, Paloma. A relationship between us is going to be hard, for obvious reasons. But I'm also not gonna say I've felt this mutual connection. If you're willing to do things unconventionally.....
/just to place the thought in your head I let my words drop off as I landed a kiss to your head, before resting my atop your crown, holding you in a tighter embrace as we laughed and talked, my hands sliding all over your body to secure it against mine.
I have no idea what we can do about this. If the Ministry finds out in this climate I'll be canned for sure. So we have to be discreet. We can keep having our.......tutoring sessions and when I am able to I can try to sneak you in at night.
/along with explaining our predicament my tone dropped into a heavy sigh upon realizing that this would be a certifiably arduous task

@☾ Theo ℋ Ha ha. It's not weird, I think your name is cute. And don't think I didn't notice that you like it when I call you Headmaster or Professor, you're not slick Mister Cresswell.
/rolling my eyes playfully at your teasing even though I laughed, poking your nose teasingly as I let out a sigh/
I just--I didn't want to get my hopes up if you didn't want a relationship. I might have been scared this was just which I usually wouldn't mind but--I'm sure you know how I feel about you by now.
/I normally wouldn't mind a strictly friends with benefits relationship, but the fact that I had been chasing after your heart for two years had me worried that was all you wanted. I had a slightly concerned look on my face as I bit down on my lower lip after hearing what you said, my brown eyes resembling a puppy's as I went to look up at you after you placed a finger under my chin, eyes fluttering shut as we tenderly kissed, my worries melting away for a brief moment as all I could focus on was how soft your lips felt melded against mine, my expression soft after we pulled away/
I want to keep seeing you too Theo...how are we going to do this?
/I turned my head so that I could bury it into your bare chest once more, my grip tightening on you as if I never wanted to let you go. I couldn't say this outright but--I knew the type of relationships I wanted and how I wanted to be treated in them and our situation just created an unfortunate oopsie that couldn't be avoided. But for you, I'd find that it was probably worth it/

@☀ Paloma Yeah it's a tricky transition from professional to personal pronouns. I hope it's not too weird between us. Though I could tell that when I addressed you as "Miss Vos" still, you seemed to become tighter so I though --- my my my, this is hot.
/a charmingly little laugh dripped from my lips as a breathy chuckle follows an exhale, before my head turns to you and my gaze falls to your expression, watching it curiously as you change from elated to concerned. Quickly my grip protectively clamps down tighter against your thigh in an attempt to comfort you, my thumb caressing over the skin gentle as I listen intently so the question that was inquired of me.
A relationship. Figured we should address this now, did you? Well, I think it's very obvious we've harbored feelings for each other since you began your first term here yes? But....the parameter of our relations are unconventional and therefore I'm unsure of where to go to from me. But.....
/as the end of my words drifted off my gaze lingered to your lips, before my fingers tapped until your chin with a gentle soothingness to angle it in my direction. I then lower mine onto yours to hush your words and your worry, plushly moving them with a thoughtfully slow pace as I savored this feeling I never wanted to go away either, so it was easy to say these next few words.
......I'd like to keep seeing you.

@☾ Theo ℋ You guys have such hot names, it's so weird.
/candidly speaking as I let out an airy laugh at your reaction to my mentioning your brother. Cute, just like I thought. I let out a pleased hum after you granted me with a tender kiss, a soft smack echoing once we parted. I grinned up at you adoringly, a facial expression that seemed to always be present whenever I was around you/
It's so weird hearing you call McGonagall by her first name. Well--I guess it's weird calling you Theo instead of Headmaster Cresswell too.
She's a badass. I heard she was so cool during the war.
/I let out a content sigh before I suddenly got oddly quiet, my mood becoming seldom as the thought I voiced my next thought, so quiet that I thought you'd miss it. It was one of the rare moments I let myself be vulnerable around people, and it was odd that I allowed myself to say this to you, since I wasn't one to ever be serious. I guess it was our natural pull to each other, your presence making me feel a certain type of safe that made me comfortable enough to voice how I truly felt/
I wish we could always be like this. I know--I know, that it's not allowed but...I just want to be with you like a normal relationship...if we even consider this one?
/I winced slightly at the end of the question, as I dropped a slight bomb on you. A part of me wished that I hadn't even opened my mouth but I was also curious to how you would respond/

@☀ Paloma Rome? No you wouldn't like him. Sweetest, cheesiest guy on earth but his track record with women.....god.
/at the mention of my brother I crinkle my nose in thought before waving the idea out of my head with the flick of my wrist. Though my attitude soon softened when you spoke about my dad, and a bittersweet smile took place of the excitable one that was there earlier.
Yeah my dad -- I never really got to know him but I've been told by everyone that he was a great wizard, and that he would've been an even better dad.
/my arm reached around so that my palm could lay on your bicep, fingers idly resting on your bicep before I give it a tender squeeze, soon followed by a kiss that quiets your insistence down, lips melding with yours for a few prolonged moments to savor the time we spent together since I already knew it had to be limited.
Yes. The Room of Requirement. Never saw it myself but I guess that means I never truly needed it. And as far as Minerva.....she was a spitfire and I have a feeling she'll always be one. Kinda wish she was my head of house but, Pomona Sprout was a good mentor too.

@☾ Theo ℋ Aw, that's cute. I know your father would be proud of you both. An older brother? Is he as good looking as you hmm...
I'm sorry about your father though, I can't imagine what that must have felt like.
/smiling softly at your pleased tone, finding it adorable how proud you were of your family. I pressed the button about your older brother, knowing that you'd have a reaction to it that I'd find adorable/
I wish I could have seen it. I have some pictures from when my family attended, but I'm sure seeing it in person would have been a whole other experience. I heard there was a room that appeared if you needed one?
Professor McGonagall? Damn, I wonder how she was back then.
/chuckling slightly as I thought of a younger version of the Transfiguration professors we all had a love hate relationship with, a little confused at the facial expression you had on your face, but playfully sticking my tongue out at you and making a silly face in order to make you laugh/

@☀ Paloma I do have an older brother. He was a member of Gryffindor, and went on to be a powerful auror despite the purebloods having a majority say in the Ministry. I guess us boys kinda wanted to continue our fathers legacy. He was killed by Snatchers back when Harry was still finding the Horcruxes.
/proudly I nod my head, fingers combing through your locks to push them away from your face to get the entirety of it in my view, wanting to remember each of your features in fine detail, which probably made my gaze look kinda funny as it flickered to each feature of yours.
Hogwarts? God, it was at its most beautiful in Fall and Winter. The architecture was gorgeous, even after it was destroyed and rebuilt. So many hidden areas and gems to find and explore. Did you know Minerva was still there when I attended? Crazy old bat.

@☾ Theo ℋ /a content grin on my face as you pulled me closer to you, wrapping my leg around your hip so that I was snuggled up to you like a koala. My smile quickly disappeared once you told me the sad story about your family, a frown pulling my lips down, eyebrows furrowing as I stared up at you/
I'm sorry baby, I didn't know you had to go through all of that. You have a brother?
/my eyes sympathetic as I placed a small kiss on your chest, my grip tightening around your body as if I could try and squeeze the sadness away/
How was it, attending Hogwarts? I'd heard stories about what it was like before they didn't allow muggle borns and it seems wonderful.
/letting out a dreamy sigh as I thought back to what my family had told me about the school. A part of me was sad that I would never be able to see it in all its glory but I loved Filotimo and I'd been told it was nearly identical/

@☀ Paloma Alright, me first then. I'll talk about my family and then you talk about yours.
/with a knowing smile I agree to your terms, shifting in place a little to get comfy as I prepare to tell you what I could remember of my parents and my childhood. Once I knew how to start, I pulled you in closer and let your head rest against my chest, palm guiding your thigh to straddle my hip.
My father died during the Wizarding War, leaving me and my brother to my widowed mother. Unfortunately she died of what the doctor's could only explain to me was a broken heart. So......I was raised by my aunt who worked in the Ministry of Magic's Goblin Liaison Office where my dad once worked, then.......went to school at Hogwarts and got sorted into Hufflepuff, and luckily I graduated before muggle borns weren't allowed to attend. Because of my aunt I got help getting into the Ministry, and migrated from wand permit processor to curse breaker.

@☾ Theo ℋ Touche, Mr. Creswell.
/laughing as you bopped my nose, before letting out a content side as I cuddled to your side, hand going to rest on your bare chest/
Well I feel like you’re the ~all knowing Headmaster~ but there probably is something you don’t know.
Hm...I want to know everything. I’m the one that doesn’t know anything about you to be honest. I know family’s a hard one to talk about but...what’s yours like? How was your childhood?
/the two questions slipping out easily as I realized that I was the one who didn’t know anything about you, fingers absentmindedly stroking your soft skin, nails tracing your pectoral and ab muscles/

@☀ Paloma You just said it'd take a lot, and now you think I know everything I should? Make up your mind, gorgeous.
/taps your nose as you slide in next to me, my arm naturally sliding under your head to encircle your shoulders into an embrace that had you leaning into my body, leaving me to press my lips down onto the crown of your head.
Well, is there anything you'd like to know about me then? Maybe that'll open you up.
/my other hand didn't hesitate in sliding over any expanse it could above the blanket, eventually leaving it to rest on the swell of your hip, fingers drumming against the fabric as a charming smile shone down at you.

@☾ Theo ℋ /I watched you with a catlike glint in my eye as you made your way over to the bed, quickly making yourself comfortable underneath the comforter, getting up from where I sat once you called me over with your hand/
Everything about me? That's a whole lot of learning, mister.
/playfully teasing as I pursed my lips, crawling over to where you sat on the bed and sitting next to your side, my arms and legs pressing into yours. I slightly snuggled into your side, your natural warmth heating me up/
I wouldn't even know where to start--plus I feel like you know everything there is to know.

@☀ Paloma /in relief my head begins to bob, before I catch your gaze wandering to something below my waistline, which makes me raise a brow. A chuckle then slips from my lips at the things you allude to us doing, before I bring myself over to one side of the bed to gently tuck away the fabric in order to slip on inside. I then look up to you and beckon you forth with a few fingers, a wanton smile on my lips as I chide.
We weren't and I think we should do a lot more. I want to know, to learn -- everything about you.
/my hands then clasped as they fell to my lap, as candid words spilt from my tongue, eyes taking no shame in raking you up and down as you come over to me, muscles twitching in an urge to have my hands all over you again.

@☾ Theo ℋ Sounds perfect.
/reciprocating the kiss before I wove my fingers through yours, admiring the size difference as my hand look like a child's in comparison to your overly large ones as you walked me over to where the bedroom was, hopping up on the soft blankets on your bed as I sat, swinging my legs as I gazed at you. My eyes darkened in want as you started undressing, my tongue peeking out to wet my tiers as I bit dow on my lower one. I gazed at you like you were like a meal and I was starving/
No, I don't feel like it is. I wanted to spend more time with you too. Our last...session was nice but we weren't really doing much talking, were we?
/snorting softly as I brought up what happened the last time I was here, eyes dropping to what was hidden behind your boxer fabric, smirking as you caught my gaze slipping/

@☀ Paloma I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to get un-ready yet, so while I do that how about I show you my quarters?
/as we stand chest to chest, I trap your chin between my thumb and forefinger to hold it in place as I press another more delicate kiss to your lips, only to let my hand fall and my fingers fish for yours to thread through so I could guide you towards the back of my office. Once there I murmured yet another incantation that made the bricks fade away and reveal a master-bedroom looking suite with a bathroom connected. After you followed me in, I patted the foot of my bed to gesture for you to have a seat, before I began loosening my tie and ing my shirt while speaking.
I hope this isn't moving too fast, having you over. I just wanted to spend more time with you.
/my voice was low and soothing as I wrapped my tie and put it away, soon doing the same thing to my shirt of which I hung up to take to dry cleaning. There I then stood, trousers hanging loosely from my hips as I unbuckled them and took those off two, leaving me finally in my boxers.

@☾ Theo ℋ /a widespread grin made its way onto my face as I bounded towards you, lips already puckered so you could place the kiss I had been craving all day on my lips/
Hi papi~
/cooing out after our lips parted, arms going to encircle your waist in a hug after you pushed my robe off, letting it fall to the ground as I basked in your lingering eyes and praise, smiling adoringly at your awestruck expression, not being able to stop myself from placing a quick peck on your lips because of how cute you were/
Thank you baby. You look good too--my handsome and smart mans.
/bopping your nose after I poke your glasses playfully, laughing as I leaned into your embrace. I always had a soft spot for guys with glasses, and you looked better in them than on anyone else I'd seen./

@☀ Paloma /my frames sat perched on the tip of my nose as I flipped through the last remaining pages in the quibbler -- that is before the creak of the door opens to reveal what I had been waiting for all night. A spry smile uplifts my lips as I get to my feet and find my way over to your figure, my first action signaling my need as I cup your face and press a smooch into your lips before I mumble against them, "good evening, baby." My fingers then fall to your robes, gently scooting it up your shoulders, my eyes falling down to the slinky slip you had on as I let my fingers push off the remaining fabric while I gawked at you in absolute admiration, gaze soaking you in as I praised you.
Looking like a goddess, so divine.

@☾ Theo ℋ /clad in my robes with a slinky nightdress underneath, I walked quickly towards your office, skirting out of the way from anyone who could potentially see me make my way up. I approached the wooden door and knocked a few times before pressing it open, slowly making my way in as I grinned, seeing you sitting on your leather chair/
