Who's Adam?

kinnonme July 28 2007, 22:21:26 UTC

Friend of my brother's. Practically adopted in the family. I've known him since I was...*sighs* six? Seven? Remember those pictures I showed you? There was a picture of me giving him bunny ears.

ihavemanslaves July 28 2007, 22:25:46 UTC

*half-jokingly*
Oh yes, him. I see. I've got more competition, then? Will I have to fight for your favour?

kinnonme July 28 2007, 22:27:48 UTC

*thinks* I don't fancy him, but Cordell and the parents are set on having us marry, so he'd be in the family properly.

And his family is quite wealthy and powerful in politics, so it'd be a good move for my brother.

ihavemanslaves July 28 2007, 22:35:27 UTC

*again, half-jokingly*

Hmm, was that hesitation? Are you considering marrying him. Because, if so, I think I have a right to know.

kinnonme July 28 2007, 22:38:35 UTC

*on edge*

Well I don't know, I can't exactly see into the future, can I?

ihavemanslaves July 28 2007, 22:49:34 UTC

*quirks eyebrow*

What is it, Marlene? You're tense.

kinnonme July 28 2007, 22:56:04 UTC

I'm fine.

I just don't appreciate you not trusting me.

ihavemanslaves July 28 2007, 23:15:57 UTC

Clearly you're not. But, very well.

I do trust you. Forgive me, but it's difficult to keep the "irrational boyfriend" in check when your girlfriend holds in her hands the heart of practically every man she comes in contact with.

kinnonme July 28 2007, 23:22:11 UTC

*opens mouth to argue but comes up wordless*

ihavemanslaves July 28 2007, 23:28:29 UTC

It's even harder when she starts spending lots of time with said men. A very large internal war begins, then.

kinnonme July 28 2007, 23:40:15 UTC

*quietly* He's in the infirmary, Fabian. I found him bleeding in the corridor, and he's my friend. What would you do?

ihavemanslaves July 29 2007, 00:58:21 UTC

Probably the same as you, but I would not take it to the extent that people were questioning it.

*quietly* Pomfrey asked me if you had left me for "that Diggory boy".

kinnonme July 29 2007, 01:24:11 UTC

*even more quietly* He almost died.

*sighs and fingers the ends of her hair nervously* She's crazy, then.

Fabian, you're busy. The time I'm spending with Amos, or Lionel, I want to spend with you. I do. But you've got priorities, and I know that. So rather than boarding myself up in the library for more nine-hour study sessions, I'm just trying to stay positive with my friends.

*close to tears* I thought we were stronger than this.

ihavemanslaves July 29 2007, 02:00:44 UTC

I'm sorry. I guess when you see people "almost die" on a regular basis, including yourself, you stop thinking how profound it really is.

I never said she wasn't.

I never said you couldn't have friends. I would like to spend time with you as well. But, it seems whenever I'm home...you're busy.

I still think we are. But, do you?

kinnonme July 29 2007, 02:46:06 UTC

*continues her nervous habit of fiddling with her hair*

Yeah. Yeah, that's the first time I--*chokes up*

I never even know when you're here, or when you're gone... and that's not your fault, I'm not trying to put blame anywhere. But you're right, I've got friends and classes and this project with Benjy, studying for Dumbledore...

And you're off saving the world. *sad smile*

I hope so. But I'm really scared.
