Rosalyn smiled at him. She had learned not to let her emotions show at times like this. "I believe you. I'm not hurt."
She said the words that made no sense to her, because on the inside, she was dying.
Her soft hazel eyes sparkled. There were no tears falling. Not this time, she told herself. The wind played with her light brown hair.
"We can still be mates. I'll be here, whenever you need me, alright."
It was a replay in her mind, all over again. When she was younger her father insisted her in dating Timothy, but he was not interested in her. She was crushed, but she learned to get over it.

Draco could see a little sadness in her eyes despite her strong and stable expression.
Taking the hand he held he pulled her into a hug, one arm around her waist, the other on her back, his fingers entwining with her hair. "I do still like you... Just...I dont want to have a strictly physical relationship again." He said softly, whispering in her ear.
He was afraid, it was the same relationship he had had with Pansy, and the moment she wasn't getting the physical aspects, she found it else where, he couldn't handle his heart being broken again.

Rosalyn kept telling herself to be calm and relax. It was a little late though. She let a few tears escape each of her eyes, which quickly dried in the wind.
"I'll always be here for you, no matter what." She whispered back to him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
This was very awkward for her. It had been years since she had any physical contact such as this. She was not used to it, and because of that...it felt so wrong. However, somewhere deeper than she could find...was a feeling of longing toward the boy.

He didn't let go, he couldn't bring himself to do it, no matter how wrong he thought it was, he just didn't want to let go, afraid that she would slip away. "It's so hard," he started to try to explain, unsure how successful it would be, "it's hard to chose between two, to have your heart torn in two directions."
He tried so hard to let go of her, to look her in the face, and to do so without caving into what his body wanted to do. Part of him wanted to kiss her, to hold her closely. But the other part felt like he would be cheating on the other girl, the one who he felt he could have a proper relationship with. "I dont want to stuff this up."

Rosalyn pulled away from Draco, to look at his face. "You worried about something. At least, something is bothering you."
She could see something in his eyes, but was very unsure of what it was. "Look, I'm not going anywhere. I promise."
Her words were so strong. As if, the tears never happened. She smiled at him, and then softly kissed his cheek.
She released herself from his grasp and held out her right hand. "Mates?"

He looked at her hand, his fingers touching his cheek where her lips had fallen moments ago. "Best mates? He posed the question pleadingly, hoping she would say yes before he did anything else. His eyes looking to her longingly as he stroked his now rouge cheek, blushing slightly as he foolishly thanked her in his thoughts.
He knew it would be hard, to not cave into temptation, to control himself around her, at-least until he has the other, but till then it would be a challenge for both his mind and his body. "Just... don't give up on me... on us..." He muttered the words under his breath, hoping she wouldn't hear the comment.

Rosalyn couldn't help staring perplexedly at Draco's burning cheeks. Was he blushing? She blinked a couple of times to see if her eyes were just playing tricks on her. She couldn't answer his question. Her head and heart screamed yes to it, though. While she could feel a burning, tingling sensation in her lips.
She tried to re-gain control, but she swore she heard him add something else. "Best Mates. Always. No matter what."

Draco forced a smile, shaking her hand before looking away. "Just promise me something." He couldn't stop himself from letting the words slip, "Promise me you'll never give up on us, ever." He paused, letting the two linger in silence.
He forced himself to deepen his voice, to act strong, "Just... incase in the future of course." He left it at that, not wanting to dump more on the poor girl.

Rosalyn looked unsure at the blond standing before her. "I swear on my father's grave, I will never give up, as long as you don't."
Her smile reappeared. They stood there for what seemed hours to her, looking at each other, connected at arms length. Then they were interrupted by a rumbling noise, coming from her stomach. She started laughing.

Draco smiled, satisfied with their agreement.
Hearing the protesting growl emmit from her stomach he chuckled, "The Great Hall it is then." He said, turning and striding up the hill slowly, his own stomach begging to rumble.

"I believe that we're in agreement there." Rosalyn chuckled as she walked by her new best mate. "You know, there are going to be certain...limits that I'm going to have to try strongly to keep under wraps."
She walked beside him, with both of their stomachs rumbling. She laughed again, at her own little inside joke.

"Hmmm limits?" He played clueless once again, holding his head aloof and watching her from the corner of his eye. He let the question lie on the air, planning himself a few more to ask later.
Slowly he lifted his arms above his head, stretching and yawning a bit. The sky was getting dark, blanketed in violet and blue blankets broken by ever so faded stars, perhaps they had missed lunch? Never the less, dinner would be on. "I've got to stop pulling all nighters, I lose track of time soo easily when I'm sleep deprived."

Rosalyn noticed the darkening of the sky, probably about as much as he did. She walked on, up towards the school, pondering if she should tell him the limits that she had to control.
"Well, I'll have to not kiss you. Then there's the limit of not holding your hand. I'm a lover, most of the time." She forced a sheepish grin.
Rosalyn was never so open with anyone before, outside of Tim, of course. Though, it was something that she could get used to, talking to someone who had experienced some of the same things she did.

Draco nodded as he listened to her soft words as if they were warnings. Each topic she brought forth was certainly something he needed to keep an eye on, and in some cases something he'd have to work on himself.
It didn't take long before the courtyard could be seen again, illuminated simply by the light that flowed from the castle it's self, mostly of course through the open entrance. "So.... " He began, hoping to change the subject, "Great Hall? What do you hope they're serving?"
