"You rebel, you," she snickered in response to his skipping free study. "What sort of fun things?"
Eris chuckled. Why did everyone think those two classes were interchangeable? They were completely different subjects. One was about the ins and outs of proper dueling etiquette and made use of spells the students already knew. The other was purely about defensive spells used to protect oneself from dark magic. "Dueling is a sport, like martial arts or fencing for no-maj," she shrugged. "It's a class for those that wish to duel competitively - not learn how to fight or how to defend themselves against dark magic. That's why I didn't join. I don't have a yen for dueling tournaments."
If she was going to fight, she wasn't going to be restricted by a list of 'acceptable' spells, niceties, and stances. "Well, try not to mess your fingers up too badly," Eris commented. "Or you won't be able to play piano for me."

"Depends on the day," he said with a shrug. "Sometimes I'll sneak into teacher's offices and rearrange their papers or change people's grades, though I haven't done that one in a while."
"Sport or no, I've never been interested in dueling, it doesn't seem very fun to me," he said, thinking nearly the same thing Eris was about the subject, though he didn't voice his thoughts either. "When did you want me to play piano for you again?" he asked, looking down at their hands before looking up at her.

"Oh, naughty. You could get in a lot of trouble for that," she teased. Had Abel ever changed her grades? Did he make the grades better or worse? Wanting to be able to claim ignorance if he was ever caught, she didn't ask for more details. She had expected something more like sneaking off with a girl to hook up or raiding the kitchen.
"Any time that we're both free," she shrugged, not really having a specific day or time in mind. "Or you could come play while I'm practicing by myself."

"I think I'd like that," he said. "I enjoyed playing for you that day, and listening to you sing," he said. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face as he turned to her. "Does this mean you're going to sing "Happy Birthday' to me?"
The thought brought him a little bit of joy just thinking about it. Eris looking sexy as usual, singing 'Happy Birthday' just to him. A slight blush appeared on his chest and slowly crept up his neck at the thought. He had no idea what she had planned but the anticipation was worth it.

"Of course I am," Eris smiled slyly. She noticed the blush creeping up his neck from his chest. That sparked an interesting feeling of triumph in her, like she'd won some sort of game. Abel Meridian, blushing. And she'd caused it, indirectly.
She tilted her head so she could whisper in the direction of his ear. "Are you imagining it?" she asked, curious about the cause of the blush. That was the only reason she could come up with, given his inquiry and the expression on his face.

"Yes," he whispered back, the flush deepening in color slightly as it continued to spread to his cheeks and finally to his ears. He avoided looking at her in her beautiful gray-blue eyes, instead keeping his eyes on their interlocked hands. it was safe to look there, and it also gave him a sense of comfort that he had never really felt before. That thought almost made him blush anew, but he didn't thankfully. Though the thought of Eris singing to him, only to him had his brain in overdrive.

"Gosh, it's cute when you blush," Eris said teasingly, but truly finding it endearing. She craned her neck to kiss his cheek, immediately feeling a bit silly for doing so. It made her feel like a kid, like she'd never kissed anyone before. But it felt like the thing to do in the moment. Her stomach felt nervous, like she was on a roller coaster climbing up before a great big nosedive down a steep slope. It was like an out of body experience. She could almost see herself there, leaning on Abel and holding his hand, giving him a little peck on the cheek, as if she was looking in from another dimension where she was her usual self. And she was screaming for this weird version of herself to run as far and as fast as she could.

"Is not," he said which made him blush even more if that was possible. He continued to look at their hands until she kissed his cheek, and he smiled and finally turned to look at her, getting lost in her eyes for a moment before asking, 'So what makes Eris Raptis blush?" he asked, truly wondering what would redden her cheeks. Was she ticklish? Compliments certainly didn't do it.

"Is so," she smirked. Eris could argue back and forth all day if that's what he wanted to do. Seemed like a waste of precious time, though.
"When something happens that makes me blush, I'll tell you," Eris said with a wink.
She knew she had probably blushed a few times, at least, in his presence. Though he may not have noticed. It was pretty obvious when it happened, considering the lightness of her skin and the fact that she typically didn't wear foundation or powder that might hide it. "In all seriousness, though, I guess when someone compliments me and it's genuine. Not just some way to get in my pants or suck up to me," Eris said, maintaining eye contact.

"So if I said, without expectation of anything else, that you are the most beautiful girl I've ever met, you would blush?" he asked, for clarities sake, and also because that's what he really thought. The curve of her jaw, her kissable lips, the set of her eyes and the color of them. He felt like he could get lost in them for days and not have a care in the world. That alone was a dangerous thought, one he had trouble keeping a grip on when she was around. But for now, he let her see into this new, raw, uncovered Abel and hoped he was staring at the same new, raw Eris, otherwise what was the point.

"Maaaybe," Eris said, biting her bottom lip as she felt heat rising in her cheeks. "Do you really think that? I mean... you've seen me with no make up and drab hair..."
Both of which she said she doesn't do to impress other people. Her sole reason for primping was because it made her feel good. It didn't matter to her if people thought she was fake or plastic or whatever. None of it was for them.

"Especially then," he said with a genuine smile, and a gentle squeeze to her hand. "It was surprising to see you like that, but definitely not in a bad way. I think you're beautiful either way."
His smile deepened as he saw her cheeks get rosy, "Well I guess you were right, being genuine really does make you blush," he said reaching up with his free hand and gently brushing his thumb over her pink cheek. "That shade looks good on you," he said, still smiling at her.

"Shut up," she laughed and playfully swatted at his hand, the heat in her cheeks intensifying. He was doing that on purpose, knowing it would get a reaction. If he used this 'secret weapon' too much, would it lose its effectiveness? Or would she always blush at compliments from him?
"If you could change anything about yourself, physically, what would it be?" Eris asked, since they were sort of on the topic. She wouldn't change a damn thing about him, but was curious if he had any insecurities about his body.

"I have always felt too skinny and lanky, so I'd probably change that,* he admitted, looking down at their hands again. He sometimes felt clumsy with his feet and his hands, even though his hands lended themselves flawlessly during quodpot and playing the piano. He wondered what she would think of that, probably not expecting something like that from a dude.
"Is there anything you would change about yourself, physically, that you don't already change, like your hair and such?" he asked, wondering what her answer would be. Were there any weak points to Eris that he needed to know about?

"Really?" Eris was surprised. She didn't see him as skinny and lanky. He was lean and fit. "I guess I have a thing for skinny and lanky, then, because I think your body is perfect. And I know I'm not the only one with that opinion."
Did he have any idea how many girls (and guys) would kill to be where she was, literally and metaphorically? "I guess I'd like to have a slimmer face. My cheeks are pudgy. I don't want to look emaciated like a model or anything. Just not so pudgy," Eris said after some thought. "And smaller boobs. My back would thank me."
Was that all? She couldn't think of anything else she'd change, pretty satisfied with her body for the most part. Eris wasn't short or rail thin, nor was she too tall or flabby. There were nice curves in all the right places. She took care of herself, eating well but not overindulging. The only exercise she got was yoga or pilates a few times a week when she had time. It was better than nothing. Besides, she didn't want to be muscular, finding it an unattractive thing on girls.
