[OPEN] I wanna shoop

He should have kissed him earlier. He'd been tempted to, right after they hit the floor, but then Clair had thought maybe sitting on Julian would give him more control, up until Freyja Podmore decided to interfere.

He didn't want to snog Julian in front of everyone. Although, he didn't want to not snog Julian in front of everyone, either. It was that Julian didn't want to be snogged. He just wanted to keep Julian off balance and make him wonder, and a brush of his lips across the other boy's temple or cheek would be enough for that. To be honest, Clair didn't care what Julian wondered, so long as it meant Clair was the one on his mind when he wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

What was Julian's problem anyway? It wasn't like Clair wanted to date him. Didn't even want him to like him. He was just suggesting they come to a mutually beneficial arrangement. If Clair happened to use it as wank fuel later, Jules would never even know.

And then, of course, there was Freyja, offering them both a hand up. He should probably thank her for that, but Clair only scowled.

Clair didn't really seem keen on Freyja trying to help them both up, not that his opinion on the matter really mattered to her. When someone was having trouble with something, you helped them.

Most of the time.

Freyja thought this was one of those times, even though it seemed like no one else did. Cronis was obviously more concerned with Hit, she was more probably just conflicted on what to do (Hit tried but she was pretty dense sometimes) and Evander didn't really have much of a say in the matter. At least he'd gone over to try to help them as well.

Evan was probably the most sensible out of the four of them, Freyja following the Ravenclaw.

"You probably should let him up, Clair. Wouldn't want to mess him up, now would ya?" she asked, lifting an eyebrow. She couldn't help the slightly disappointed tone in her voice, she kind of didn't want Clair to let him up but for Julian to instead get up by force.

What was wrong with her today?

What the hell was going on?

Julian could not quite wrap his head around the unfolding events and how they had culminated in him getting trapped beneath Clair Savauge. What was a perfectly innocent plan to secure a hot date for Valentine's had been hijacked and turned into... something else. He wasn't sure what. The fall had disoriented him considerably.

Freyja spoke and the glimmer of mischief in her eye was enough to spur Julian into action, cutting short whatever comedy of manners seemed to be playing out. He pushed Clair away and slipped out from under him, before reaching out to take Freyja's hands and clamber up.

He looked around at the students who remained after their tumble, all who seemed more amused than he would like. "Well, this is just great," he said, directing his voice towards Clair, Freyja, and co. "You all harshed my vibe."
