Bailey let out a little, soft gasp when Kibō rested his head on her shoulder. Kibō felt like an extension of Kim and the thought of Kim resting his shoulder on her head... not a thought she needed to follow at the moment.
Complementing kim's eyes got a little reaction from him - a twitch of his lips why was she looking at his lips now?? and a witty response (more than she would have gotten from him in previous years, ever since his spiral.
Kim running his hand through his hair also did something to her - butterflies or something fluttering in her stomach, she couldn't help but watch him run his fingers through his hair.
"Ravenclaw would have loved to have had you - and blue would suit you, especially with your eyes, you're right."
After a moment of silence, Kim continued his confession of sorts. Admitting to feeling a pull towards the house, bailey understood. She felt the same pull towards Ravenclaw, and occasionally Hufflepuff. Bailey did think he was a good addition to griffindor, but she also understood where he was coming from. Deciding now was not the time to discuss why he was a good fit in his house, bailey decided to go with a joke, to lighten the mood again and (hopefully) get kim to laugh as well.
"Are you sure you weren't just being pulled to me?" she teased, smiling at him to show she was at least partially joking.
Kim, moving on, said he was glad that she had fun on her summer travels. Bailey, beyond happy that kim was recovering (him saying he was glad about something was a huge step) couldn't help but smile back. Her heart - and smile - dropped when his smile dropped when she asked how his summer was.
He ended that particular topic with a short, three word answer, and bailey let this topic rest as well.
Kim rummaged in his bag, pulling out two bags of crisps, one of which he tossed to bailey. She caught it, surprisingly, (her hand eye coordination was not the best) and opened the bag. Crunching on a crisp, she was happy eating food with her best friend.
"yea, they're good!" bailey said, smiling a little at kim.
A few moments passed, them eating their crisps in comfortable silence. Bailey, not one to keep her mouth shut for too long around Kim (she just LOVED talking, esp to him).
"my brothers were asking about you this summer - they asked when they'll get to meet you. if you... if you ever need a place to go, my family loves you and they've never met you. my casa is su casa and all that. Also, i won a pickle making contest this summer, in my grandparent's village. also, im thinking of maybe trying to pass off some of my clubs to other students, younger ones. i want to focus on exams, and honestly between the two of us we have a monopoly on the clubs and its a lot for us and i feel like since we're honestly everywhere people might be less inclined to sign up for more than one club. are there any clubs you want to run or keep? I am thinking i want to keep the martial arts club and maybe the archery one too... i love the peaceful minds one since it was my first but i definitely have not been doing it full justice. thoughts?"@Bailey Glade and @Draven Mirador
