"Genesis is inclined to be Genesis," Swan said seriously, even as a smile tugged at her lips. "...It's good you told him. It'd be terrible if that ever came between you two." Her tone was teasing, although there was still some seriousness to what she was saying. Somehow, they formed a trio, and Swan was not eager to see Ren's friendships suffer because of his addiction. "You know you have the two of us you can rely on."

Despite knowing them and being in some of the same classes as them, he doubted that he would have many conversations with those two girls. Tifa was the head girl and Ren found very little in common with her. Quistis on the other hand, he was on good terms with considering she could deal with Ikkaku better then he could and, in Ren’s mind, that was worth some major points. Still he had to laugh, “Not sure about Quistis but if I got into a fist fight with Tifa she would definitely be able to kick my ass so, I think I’ll avoid any confrontations.”
Going back to yesterday with Genesis, Ren could only think about that little stunt he pulled that got the other boy to blush as red as his hair. It was a pretty damn funny sight and he wished Swan could have been there to see it. Of course that reminded him of what he said to him before about Swan. “I don’t think my problems will be what come between me and Genesis,” Ren had said truthfully, “I told him more stuff then just my addictions.”

Swan laughed quietly. "She is rather... dynamic." There were many things the Gryffindor respected about her friend, and while her fighting skills were not at the top of that list they were definitely something to be impressed by. "You don't want to underestimate Quistis, though. As far as I know, the dueling victory tally between her and Ikkaku is even, and you know how Ikkaku is." Swan would never voice the opinion out loud, but she was fairly sure that if someone found themselves up against Tifa and Quistis they would probably find themselves far beyond their depth. Simply put... she was glad Ren wasn't the kind to get into fights.
Her eyebrows rose at Ren's next comment. "...Oh? What was that?" The blonde had the faintest feeling she might know, but she wasn't jumping to any conclusions. After all, the circumstances...

He knew Swan was going to question him and he was pretty glad she did, despite he figured that she knew what he was talking about but just wasn’t willing to say it. “I mentioned how you found out but, it was kind of hard,” He said with a small grin, “I have to admit, I don’t remember much of what happened then because I was so out of it. So, I really have to ask, did anything else happen right after I kissed you?”

"Uhhh..." Swan was hoping that there wasn't a faint blush crawling up her neck, although it was entirely possible. "...No..." She cleared her throat. "No, you just fell asleep and I sat with you for a while. It was a slightly surreal experience," she noted with a wry smile.

Ashelia’s name coming up made Ren think a bit. He was wondering how she was handling the current situation with Link. The boy was under her watch so the revelation that he was a werewolf must be bringing some stress towards their head of house. “There are times where feeling calm just isn’t enough and once faced with something where you’re emotions are wanting to surface…you end up feeling lost.” He turned to Swan slightly with a smile, “It works for some people but, after everything we’ve been through, think you can keep staying calm through all that’s going to happen?”
He kind of just stared for a second, eyebrow raised as Swan answered his question. “I just fell asleep?” He repeated with some disbelief but soon he began to laugh at the thought. Nothing loud like when he was talking with Genesis yesterday but it was still light hearted enough considering how ridiculous he thought it was. “Oh man, that’s bad,” he said with a chuckle, “I’m sorry, Swan.” He took a second to mull something over in his mind before his face split into a grin.
“I’ll try to make it up to you.”

She couldn't help laughing quietly at Ren's disbelief. "It's fine, Ren. You'd had a rough day. Putting it lighty." There was a pause as she arched an eyebrow and looked at him curiously. "Oh? ... How's that?"

He took the strap of the guitar off his shoulders and propped the instrument up against the wall to his other side before turning around back to face Swan. He raised his hand to her face and leaned forward slightly to press his lips against hers gently, a tiny voice at the back of his head praying that she wouldn’t just sit there completely frozen this time. Then again, he did do surprising things so if she just kind of stared confused, he wouldn’t blame her. It wasn’t long before he pulled back a bit to look her in the eyes and give her a smile, “Go out with me, Swan.”

And once again, Ren surprised her. Perhaps it was time to re-evaluate, because this seemed to be a recurring thing and... if it was going to keep happening, being surprised over it was... foolish. She blinked slowly as he pulled back. "Oh.... I...." Swan paused. "Okay." Her lips quirked up in a smile. Not the most dramatic of romantic scenes, but it worked for her. Closing the distance between them again, she pressed a gentle kiss against his lips.
... Well, this wasn't what she had predicted would happen today...

He was a bit worried when she was hesitant though and was instinctively going to back away, thinking she was going to say no. But then she pulled him back into another kiss and he couldn’t help but give a little grin before kissing her back, his lips moving against hers while his hands moved to the back of neck and the small of her back, pulling her closer.

Breaking the kiss, Swan pulled back. "So, what exactly does going out with you entail?"
And she would definitely need to update Tifa and Quistis with this.

He paused a bit to emphasise his point by trailing light kisses along the side of her neck, grinning slightly against her skin. “But if it’ll help, I can probably cut down on the smoking when I’m around you. Sounds good?”
He knew that Swan disliked the smoke and that she could probably taste it when he kissed her so, it was a small sacrifice to make. Ren could easily save the cigarettes for his time just hanging out with Genesis or when he was by himself.

She smiled as he kissed her neck, taking note that dating someone apparently had its perks. ... Perks that were making her late for class. "Uh, Ren? I need to go..." Taking a step back she smiled apologetically and picked up her bag. "Care to go to Potions?" Shouldering the bag, she tilted her head, indicating that she was going to head down the hall.

It was really a ridiculous question to ask him. He only had his guitar and his cigarettes in his pocket, he didn’t carry with him any books, rolls of parchments or anything that he needed for said class. But that never stopped him before.
“Trying to turn me into a studious man already, are you?” he said with a small chuckle before grabbing a hold of his guitar case to pull the strap over his shoulders, the guitar resting securely on his back. “If you’re sure that me being there won’t distract you at all, I guess I can join you for class.”

Swan was pretty well aware of Ren's lax attitude and preparation when it came to class - they had known each other for upward of six years, now. "You can borrow parchment from me if you need to," the blonde offered.
"I wouldn't dream of it," she replied, walking down the corridor. "I thought you might enjoy the chance to tease Professor Howl is all I meant."
