open to Archemedes
Before, Jordy had never been so nervous about being around Professor Monroe. Of course, he'd had a crush - but Archemedes hadn't know about it. Now he knew about it. That put an entirely new level of nervousness into the boy's system, and he was more than sure that he'd get word from Archemedes that they couldn't study during spring break. But word never came, and instead Jordy kept his dinner date promise the next day, despite the fact that he was nervous. This time, however, he brought some papers he'd been working on - working together some defensive spells on his own for his final project for Archemedes class. He figured it would give them something relevant to speak of during dinner, and Archemdes would be keeping his promise of helping him study.

As they sat down, this time in the dining hall of the school, Jordy offered a warm smile as he slid the paper over to Archemedes. He was anxious to see what the man thought of his hard work. Two spells were nearly perfect. Aquatis was meant to encase an oppenent with water, and Entundo was to confuse them with a hallucination from their past. The one that needed the most work was Chimura, which was meant to cause a delirious fever - but something that physical, inside of the body, was hard for Jordy to get a grasp on.

"Thank you again for this," he said sincerely as he lifted his burger up to take a bite of it. It was still hot, like it was fresh from the grill though it had been sitting out for at least thirty minutes, and Jordy had to smile. He loved magic.

"Sounds difficult, but I'd like to try, I'd like to learn," Jordy said with a firm nod.

No matter how hard, he wanted to master it. He wanted to be able to defend himself properly and he wanted to be a good Auror. Archemedes words caught him off guard, though, and he tipped his head up to look at the man in surprise.

"Well - I," he laughed, his cheeks flushing a bright pink. "I know you're joking but I'm still blushing like mad."

"Yes, joking," he said with his voice a little wan. He forced a laugh because the joke had felt momentarily all too real when Jordy had looked up at him. It would have been very easy to just lean down a little and kiss him. "I'd take advantage of you and then when you grew up and got over your crush, I'd be left heartbroken. So really, you'd be taking advantage of me." His smile had only the barest hint of sadness to it, hardly perceptible.

He gave him one last squeeze with his arm before urging him to stand up a little straighter, not leaning on him so much. He was still there to catch him if he fell, but their bodies weren't pressed up so tightly against each other anymore.

"No," Jordy said with a little laugh and a shake of his head. "No, that's not how it would go at all. But we'll just say that's how it would go so neither of us gets in trouble," he added boldly, because why would Archemedes even be saying such things if he wasn't interested back? "When I graduate, maybe we could go to dinner. You know, on a real date. Without the worries of student and teacher. Because I know I think you are lovely and I think that you just might thing the same of me, too," he said as he glanced up at Archemedes. "Or am I being completely ridiculous?"

Archemedes was quiet for a second before canting his head to the side. "Well, how would it go then?" he asked like a challenge, daring Jordy to say that it would be a good thing to pursue something like this, even after graduation.

That question alone said that Jordy's instincts were right and Archemedes thought of him in those terms: terms that he shouldn't be considering given their professional relationship.

"Well, I don't know how it would go," Jordy said. "I've never been good at divination," he added with a half smile as he glanced over in Archemedes direction.

The conversation caused his heart to skip a few beats, and he tried not to smile too much, though he had a feeling he was giving himself away anyhow.

"I'd like to find out how it would go, though. Wouldn't you?" he dared to ask as he let his attention flicker back to Arch.

"If you want to know what I'd like or what I think, then you'll need to do some heavy duty studying of legilimency." He raised his eyebrows, clearly not willing to reveal what he was thinking without Jordy literally stealing it from his brain.

It was not fair to have a very talented, very beautiful student. It was even less fair that he had nearly as strong of a calming effect on Archemedes as Larit had. He pursed his lips together at the thought and looked away. Even if Jordy wasn't a student, Archemedes would resist. People you loved were people that could be used against you and people that could be hurt because of you.

"Tomorrow then? For more practice. I can either train you to resist the charm, or we can do another run for the bunny and I'll promise to keep my head about me and not throw things at you you shouldn't be expected to handle yet."

As they stepped into the dorm hall, Jordy led the way to the stairs. They didn't move around, but sometimes the doors did. It could get tricky finding your way back to your room if you weren't paying attention to the numbers. When they reached the top, a Knight stood guard and Jordy had to give it the password before it stepped aside.

He was quiet, unsure of what he should say to Archemedes. As they reached his door, Jordy checked the number to make sure it was his, and he turned to look at Arch.

"All right, tomorrow then," he said with a nod of his head.

After a few beats too long, Archemedes gave a nod as well, as if his brain had been somewhere else entirely. It was easy to lose himself when he was having a moral dilemma over something.

Finally, he put a hand very briefly on Jordy's shoulder and gave him a squeeze before releasing him. "You really did very well today," he reiterated, wanting to be sure that Jordy knew he was always impressed by him. He didn't give him much of a chance to protest or reply before he turned and headed back out of the dorms.

	Jordy blinked nad watched Archemedes go. A part of him wanted to go after him, or to call him back, so that he could hug him. Kiss him, even. But he knew better so he just let Arch walk away before he closed his door with a sigh. (Reply to this)(Parent)
