Akari looked up at Aaron with a sense of excitement watching as he got smaller in the distance, wondering what he had in the works. She looked up intently as he began his routine, finding everything he was doing super fascinating, and really good as well.
She grinned widely when he came back towards her, giving him a couple small claps for his wonderful performance. She stared at him with the tiniest bit of admiration but not too much because she could not be too obvious and only managed to get in a quick "That was really really good" before he was off once more. The tricks that he mentioned with his owl did seem quite interesting though as well and she would totally love to see it sometime, so she made a mental note to ask him about it afterwards.
Then following a few more minutes of his very impressive tricks and flips he returned next to her a little short of breath from it all. "Wow! That was super cool" She piped up again, her eyes unintentionally searching to make contact with his, feeling a little more confident than before. She had been focusing her full attention on him and his tricks that all the memories from last night that she kept replaying over and over where temporarily forgotten and so, the feelings of nerves (well more like butterflies actually) that came attached to them were gone too.
Then he had asked her a question and she thought about it for a moment before responding "Hmm, neither really, I quite enjoy dives actually, and as far as I know I should be a able to handle some dizziness" Akari chuckled "But what do you have in mind?" She curiously inquired just to be sure. It was rather amusing though, and of course she would not admit it, but she was far more worried about being able to make him proud than the actual details of the tricks themselves.

"Thanks," Aaron said in response to her compliments, brushing the hair back from his forehead and grinning broadly. As she explained she didn't have any aversion to the proposed dives or dizziness, Aaron made an executive decision to try the trick he thought would be cooler. Plus enough time has passed since they'd eaten for them to not be nauseous as long as they took breaks.
"Have you ever seen a pinwheel or a gyroscope?" Aaron asked, then launched into detail of what he had envisioned. They would have to hold each others hands - wrists, really, so their grip was more secure - then fly in a circle. But not just a normal horizontal circle - ideally a vertical circle, so they'd be flying upside down at times and using each other's momentum to go faster. And then slowly introduce angle so they were forming a circle that spun and rotated 360 degrees around. It would be better with an audience to comment on how it looked, but Aaron could envision it so clearly in his mind that he felt he would know if they were doing it right.
So the Hufflepuff and the Gryffindor began their attempts. They would lock grips and start out by flying in a circle and eventually move to flying sideways rather than upright. After some laughter and an occasional dizzy spell that was bound to happen, they eventually tried to do it vertically. Aaron decided to start as the upside down one, which meant his shirt immediately fell over his head and revealed a toned torso and subtle abs. "Tuck your shirt in your waistband," he advised Akari with a laugh, doing it as he spoke. "Ready?"
When she said she was, Aaron reached towards her with one hand from his upside down position, and once they had locked grips, they began to fly in the circle. "You tilt left and I'll tilt right," Aaron called out after they had the circle momentum in a few seconds. They needed to maintain the perfect circle they were in, but start to angle so that they would rotate. It took them starting and stopping a couple times, but finally after more laughter and pointers, they maintained spinning in a circle and rotating the circle a full 360 degrees.
"That was brilliant, Akari!" Aaron said with a laugh, catching his breath and his sense of balance as they released hands. He flew upright again and went to hover beside her instead. "You did so well, I could kiss you!" It was always really exciting for him whenever he nailed a new trick, and this was the first time he had ever tried a tandem one. The kiss you comment had kinda just slipped out, a bit of a joke referencing the evening before, but one he grinned at nonetheless. When the Hufflepuff saw the Gryffindor girl wobble a bit on the broom, he immediately reached out and placed a hand on the small of her back, helping to steady her. "You alright?" he asked with a chuckle, hovering close enough to help support her if she needed to lean on him. "You did really well," he repeated, a genuine smile on his lips as he sought her reaction.
