Short...I know.

Ace wasn't much of a worrier most of the time, but this time his nerves were getting the best of him. Was Gwennie okay? In such a state, he resorted back to the slightly feminine habit of biting his nails as he tapped his foot slightly on the walkway outside of the Hufflepuff common room

Gwenn hated her hair back. It annoyed her, but it felt stringy. She wasn't in the best of spirits, but she was bound and determined to put an end to the crying and the whining. She had to or she'd go mad.

She hurried down the stairs and through the common room, more happy than she had been since she'd gotten that letter, just because she was going to see Ace. "Hi, honey." She said with what she hoped passed as a smile when she walked out and saw him.

Ace turned to her and smirked. "No, no, that just won't do." He ran one of his fingers down her cheek, "That's not a smile."

His lips touched her forehead sweetly, unsure of what she needed. He hated how he always thought that- and he never knew the answer. "And Hello, Gwennie. Mind if I ask what's going on? You don't have to tell me, really. I'm going to leave it up to you." He nodded considerately before sighing, his feet still positioned solidly. He wasn't ready to move yet, not yet.

"Sorry," Gwenn said almost unaudibly, and wasn't exactly sure why she even said it.

She closed her eyes when he kissed her forehead and was trying her best to hold back tears. She wasn't going to cry anymore because she was done with that. She looked up at him and out of no where, she threw her arms wround his neck and hugged him. "My parents split up and I don't think I can take it," She whispered, more or less into his shoulder.

Oh. That had stung. When she wrapped her arms around him and muttered that sentence he had heard before, he had to cough to cover his whimper.

He knew how that feel and he sighed to stop himself from feeling sorry for her. No. She needed comfort. She probably needed someone to cry with her and he would if he didn't get it out of his system.

Hah. He was a male. He couldn't show that weakness in front of his girlfriend, and his arms wrapped around her slowly, his senses flared, and he nodded slightly. "Oh, beautiful...you can take it. You're strong and if you need some strength to back you, I'm here. I swear it." Someone...there. Hell, if no one could be there for him he'd definitely be there for her. "I know it's not okay now. But it will be."
