(Corridors) Our Solemn Hour

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash giggled. "I'm not sappy!" he pouted. Then sighed, "It feels like it is over. I don't want it to be over, but..."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bray just grinned at Ash, deciding not to take anymore shots at his ego.. for now at least. "but.. you don't want that.. and it's up to Maxi, right?"

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash sighed. "Well, it's up to me as well. I have to try and do whatever I can to prevent this from happening. Don't I?"

[Bradyn Reed]

"I'm not going to lie, man. I think your relationship's at Maxi's mercy, he's got to open up to you again, you know?" Bradyn shrugged a little, then cross his arms in front of his chest. "But if I know anything about relationships, which I don't really, I'd say you should kill him with kindness. Being sappy and cold towards him is just going to push him away more." Bray sighed a bit, he definitely needed to stop hanging around with Bry and Fay so much; he was turning into a girl.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

((Sorry Nicole, I completely forgot about this thread!))

Ash sighed, "Yeah, it's just hard, you know?"

[Bradyn Reed]

Bray stood up and stuck his arm around Ash's shoulders, grinning up at him "I know, but, knock on wood, if things don't work out for the best, we'll always be here for you, man."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash smiled. "Thanks man, I don't know why this affecting me so much, I guess it's because it's the first relationship I've been in that I truly loved the guy. I mean, I've had a few and they were great, but... I just didn't have the connection with them that I did with Maxi."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn shook his head. "I'd be hurt too. It seems all like La, la, la everything is good. Then Bam, it's over." He said, frowning a bit until he realized that sounded rather cruel. "Well, aren't I the greatest at making people feel better. But still, you've got the memories that you shared and perhaps, if you try, you can still be friends." Bray turned his head to look at Ash and smiled. "I think he'd like that, especially when he realizes that life doesn't consist of following the rules."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash sighed, "That's the problem right there. The 'we can just be friends' I can't do that. Maybe it's stupid, but when I fall for someone, I fall hard, and if it doesn't work out, I can't do the 'let's just be friends' thing. It hurts too much."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn frowned. "Well.. well, I don't know then!" This was going to be much harder than he expected. "Guess I haven't had serious relationships, then. Since I still talk to a few of my ex's. You know, the ones that don't want to castrate me?" He grinned a bit before thinking. "Maybe it's best that way. You know, they say a clean break heals better than just a fracture."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash sighed, "But I don't want to be just friends. And I don't want to break it off! I... I..." Ash groaned in frustration, "I don't know what I want anymore."

[Bradyn Reed]

"Well then.. there's not really an in between that you're going to like." He said, tapping his chin with his other arm. "Enjoy what you have. Your really awesome friends, like Fay and Mark. Aphrodite. Your animagus. Your health?" He smiled. "You got a lot of things going for you, pal. skciD before.. well, never mind."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash grinned "Yeah, I guess you're right."

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn grinned at Ash. "You guess? What? When I'm actually serious, I know my stuff, mister." Bray flexed a muscle. "I'm just awesome like that."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash tried unsuccessfully to hide his grin, "Yeah, well don't let it get to your head." he said rolling his eyes. "Wouldn't want it to get too big now would we?" he teased.
