"What leaf?" a voice said and Conan turned around to see his fourteen year old half brother, with a bemused expression on his face. "It's the middle of spring."

"I just threw it away," Conan said, giving Louis a death stare. "How about you go play with dad?"

Louis just shrugged and tucked his hands in his pockets. Conan faced Heath who was looking away again, his cheeks burning red. At this moment he kind of did look like a phoenix. 

"Kids," Conan scoff-laughed nervously, "They say crazy things."

"Uh huh," he said, his voice extremely neutral. Something about his tone made him feel like he didn't believe him. 

He had never been forward or flirted with anyone he liked. Heath was the first. Why? Because he felt like he was the one worth keeping close. He was worth being rejected by even if it caused him pain. So much pain. 

But Heath couldn't lie either. He could never fake an expression or try to hide his feelings. Conan had learnt to read the plains of his face. He had seen his amber eyes turn dark, taken over with desire. 

"I will get going," he said, collecting his things and putting them in his Slytherin totebag. "Bye."

"Bye."

He didn't even look at me.

He didn't even look at me
