• FOURTH YEAR •

AIDAN WATCHED as Ezra walked out of the Ravenclaw common room.

His body wanted to move forward and follow. He hated himself for it.

It's done, Aidan. Just move on. It was never even a thing, he told himself.

"Who are you eye fucking right now?" A voice beside him asked.

He quickly averted his gaze from Ezra in panic and turned to the blonde girl beside him.

"Hobbs," he greeted.

Tanya grinned at him playfully. "You never answered my question."

He smirked at her flirtatiously. Two could play this game and it happened to be a game he was quite good at.

"What question?"

The way she was looking at him made him feel funny inside and he fought the urge to squirm in his spot. He was going to win this flirting battle. He wasn't going to accept defeat.

Tanya trailed the tips of her fingers up his arm agonizingly slow. "What are you doing here, Barron? This is a Ravenclaw party."

He shrugged. "I love parties so I decided to crash this one. How about you?"

"I'm wing-manning my twin. He really likes this one Ravenclaw."

"I see...." he trailed off, debating his next words in his head. "And is he wing-manning you? Is it a kind of exchange of favors."

Tanya's smirk grew and her fingers stopped on his bicep. "Your subtlety needs work."

He didn't necessarily want to kiss Tanya, but he was definitely trying to right now. He half blamed the fire whiskey in his system and the rest on his teenage hormones.

"The answer is no, by the way. I'm single and am honestly just here to snog some random guy that shares the same wishes for tonight."

His fathers voice popped in his head; the constant fights over how he needed to get a girlfriend. How he spent too much time with Kian instead of chasing after girls.

He forced himself to block out everything in him that was telling him not to do this. He was straight. He was normal. This would prove it.

"I guess it's a good thing you found me then," he replied.

She closed the distance between them. She kissed him with clear experience. It didn't take him long to get sucked into the kiss.

He backed them up so that Tanya's was pressed up against the wall. She just kissed him harder in response.

He enjoyed it which was definitely good. This meant he wasn't gay. He was normal. He just liked to kiss people and that's why he enjoyed kissing Ezra. He was straight and liked girls.

And then he let himself think too hard on it. It didn't feel all too different than kissing Ezra and that confused and scared him.

He forced himself to push the thoughts away because he felt like he was going to puke.

He pulled away from the kiss and Tanya grinned at him almost teasingly. "Are you about to throw up right now?"

He felt ashamed. "Um... yeah. I promise it's not you though. It's just good old fire whisky."
