08. First Crush

"So here is what you're gonna do," Malcolm Brown began putting his hands out in front of him as if shooting off the warning sparks of his plan from his fingertips. Elena tried to keep up with his quick place. He was often dragging her around with his crazy ideas and schemes, but this time Elena had the bad feeling that she was going to end up on the wrong end of one of Malcolm's brainstorms, "You're going to go straight up to Ted, and tell him that you fancy him!"

"What?" she choked, stopping in place and putting a hand to her chest. Suddenly, she could not breathe. He wanted her to go up to Ted Tonks and do what? Malcolm turned back to her with a largely dubious expression, and he grabbed her wrist, not allowing her to stand in stiff shock.

"Oh honestly," he said, waving his free hand around, "When you asked me how to deal with boys you fancy, what did you expect? I am a very forward kind of fellow."

"Y-yea, but---but that's not---" Elena gulped, finding herself doubly embarrassed because of all of this. How had this gone so badly? She was going to humiliate herself in front of Ted for no reason, and now Malcolm was sure that she fancied another bloke, when she really fancied---

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you look fabulous before then!"

Sigh--see? He was always so nice to her.

18. Flustered

God, I hope he kisses me.

Elena squirmed on the doorstep of her flat, staring up at the light above her and Tiberius' head. Their first date had gone, in her mind, rather splendidly, perfectly, even, so it was only right to think that it should end in a kiss, right? Not that Elena had been on many dates, but her evening with Tiberius had been exactly what she'd always imagined the perfect night out should be. He was such a gentleman, and he made her blush by just being himself.

Oh, she had to buy Caitlin something pretty for setting this up.

But, seeing as she was inexperienced in 99% of the areas of dating, Elena had no idea how to get that kiss she so desperately wanted.

"I had a really great time," she finally said, shoulders scrunching. Tiberius' eyes widened and he lurched forward, pressing his lips to hers in a very forced sort of way. He pulled away just ask quickly, and Elena stared, eyes bulging out of her head, "Err---"

"I'm sorry! My brother just said---if you say 'I had a really great time' then it'd be okay to kiss you, and I was holding my breath hoping you'd say it and when you did I just----reacted." Tiberius let this out in one breath, and he finally looked relaxed. "I'm sorry if that was rude."

Elena let herself grin madly for only a second before she grabbed the front of Tiberius' shirt and kissed him hard, in the way she'd imagined just moments before.
