we stay like that for ages, him playing with my hair while i listen to his heartbeat, until the door flies open.
"hey y/n i forgot my-" both rowan and mine's heads fly up, to find bianca standing in the middle of the room, frozen, with her jaw dropped.m

she stands there for ages, saying nothing, so i giggle and put my head back on rowans chest. she ends up leaving without whatever it was she forgot, and doesn't come back. rowan and i stay like that for ages, in comfortable silence, so i end up falling asleep.

best. sleep. ever. we have no lessons the next day, so, when i check my phone and the time is 10am, i am not worried. instead, i snuggle up on rowan (who is unconscious) and listen to his heartbeat.

we stay cuddled up like that for ages, and when we finally leave, we go down to the courtyard for lunch. everyone doesn't seem to bat an eyelid at us, and i breathe a sigh of relief realising that bianca has kept it a secret. however, as i walk over to my table, bianca and yoko share a knowing glance. it makes sense if she knows - bianca needed a reason for staying at yokos for longer. i sit down, and everyone carries on their conversations as normal. i look over at rowan - he is already looking at me. i feel butterflies in my stomach, and give him a smile. he does the same for me, before walking up to xavier. i stare at him for ages, as he is talking to xavier, in awe of his beauty. and he's mine.
