The Queen and Her King

Fencing Act 2

Brielle POV

Harry and I had just finished watching our little movie for today, he had chosen one of my old favorites "Silence of the Lambs" aka his first horror movie. He was absolutely entranced by it at times, others he was flinching and actually getting a little frightened, every time I reassured him that it was just a movie. He was fine with the gore though, slightly concerning but hey who knows what all he's done on the Isle. Once the movie was done we had about thirty minutes before fencing practice, and yes I'm still the captain of the team and Harry's still apart of it. He's gotten way better at formalities and the proper formation and has balanced his power with the graceful elegance of proper fencing techniques. The credits for the movie began to roll and I sighed,

"And just like that its fencing time, chop chop we gotta be there in thirty-three minutes"

I looked up at him since I had ended up in between his legs and leaning against his chest. He had a slightly fearful expression,

"We're not gonna discuss that? Like at all? That was a weird movie"

I chuckled and turned around and kneeled right in front of him and put a hand on his cheek,

"And it was just a movie, nothing to be afraid of. If you have any nightmares tonight just sneak over here right?"

I said completely as a joke might I add. He nodded seriously though and finally chuckled,

"Alright alright, but it was still really odd"

"Oh I'm not saying it wasn't odd, I agree with you there. Now really though, we can talk about the movie on the way to fencing"

With that, I hopped off the bed and he followed suit. I walked him to the door and gave him a surprise kiss on the jaw, having to go on my tiptoes to achieve that. He flushed red like the cute little dork he can be sometimes and bent down to kiss me on the cheek which just made me eat my words and flush the same shade of red,

"See you in a few Har"

I said with a smile as he walked out,

"See ya in a few darlin'"

With that we parted ways, I closed the door and ran over to my wardrobe and grabbed out my fencing uniform and threw it on before refreshing myself in the bathroom and throwing my hair up into a ponytail before throwing on my trainers and jogging out of my dorm. As I walked passed the boys' dorm Harry came out, immediately coming to my side and joining me on my march to the fencing gym. We've gotten really good at timing things so we can be right on time as soon as the other one is ready, its awesome.

We walked in silence as we both locked arms as always and subconsciously synchronized our footsteps, making for one badass effect if you ask me,

"So captain, what's the plan for today?"

He said as we walked down the stairs,

"Well we are in desperate need for a full team drill so I wanna do that today, not to mention I have a very exciting announcement to make"

Seriously though, I am giddy to make this announcement, after months and months of debate the rulebook has finally been completely evened out to allow all capable persons no matter the gender join the fencing team! How cool is that? Took long enough in my opinion, but I was able to twist the committee behind writing the rulebooks arm just enough to get the changes permanent,

"Oh yeh? Would ya mind if... I dunno... ya gave yer wonderful boyfriend the inside scoop?"

I chuckled and looked up at him,
