Grayson- 35 weeks

Iris's POV

"Just tell me who you're taking!" I groan shaking my sister's shoulders. "Nope, it's a surprise!" She smirks as I send her a glare. "Tell me the gender at least" I sigh getting no response.  "Go focus on asking your own girlfriend to the ball" she nudges me with her elbow.

"I've been trying!" I whisper crossing my arms.  "She's oblivious as fuck!" I scowl tapping my foot impatiently.  "I made her a card, she threw it away thinking it was another love confession, same with my flowers! She walked right by the poster I made... wheujddjeb whyyyy!!!" I shout into my hands.

"Iris, my lovely sister just go up and ask her" she rolls her eyes as I stand back appalled. "That involves talking and I'm scared of that" I whisper getting another eye-roll in response. "Well, you better think of something quick" Ivy gives me a mocking look before patting my back.

"What why?" I don't get an answer as Emmy jumps into my arms wrapping her arms around my neck. "Hi, babe" she smiles giving me a quick peck. "Hello" I answer her rubbing our noses together a gagging noise coming from Ivy. So I quickly slapped her with my free hand then returning it to Em's back.

"You look really cute today" she smiles looking me up and down.  I give her a confused smile looking myself up and down. "I'm just wearing my robes... which I have to wear every day" I remind her, but she shakes her head silencing me. "You'd look cuter with me at the ball" she bites her lip as my face goes red.

"Leave it to the Malfoy to use a cheesy pickup line" Ivy sings from the background getting. slapped by me again. "Shut up!" I whisper-shout to her. "I'd love that!" I blush getting pulled into another one of her kisses.

"Leave it to my twin to fall for the cheesy pickup line" Ivy doesn't hide her sarcasm as I once again slap her not stopping the kiss between my girlfriend and I.

Seren's POV

I walked to the library to meet up with Aaron as I usually did.  He sat on the same sofa, like we did every day. The curtain drawn letting the sun warm the cushions up, and great lighting for reading.

"Hello" he smiles at me closing the book. "Hello" I greet him sitting down next to him.  "Am I reading today?" He asked giving me confused glances. He always knew our schedule.

"You're nervous? Why?" I ask him, his eyes widen in a panic. "What? How?" He mumbled to himself grabbing his chin.  "Never mind, I already know it's my turn" he quickly grabs the book from the side table next to us opening it to the page we had left off on.

I smirk knowing my plan had worked. He is definitely nervous about asking me to the ball. Taking my time I cuddle up to him laying my head on his shoulder so I'm also able to read the book. He smiles resting his head on mine.

"As the day soon came to the end, Jedidiah only had one thing on his mind, the ball- I mean war... silly me... why did I say that" he chuckles nervously the hand holding the book quite literally shaking.

"Only days away, he remained virtuous hoping the girl would acquiesce his war-winning strategy- did I say, girl? What is wrong with me... I meant council!" He corrects yet another mistake.

I sit up from his shoulder and he looks at me worried, that I might leave. "I'll go to the ball with you, now stop messing up, it will ruin the book" I sigh as his smile grows ten times bigger. "Adorable" I smiled kissing his cheek.

His face turned bright red and we resumed our positions as before. His reading worsened somehow, as he was practically throwing the book every minute because of how much he was shaking.
