Magdalena heard the gasp, and knew that he'd felt the same way in that moment. He gave her only a moment to wipe away his tears before leaning into her hand. When he did, she pressed her hand against his cheek, her eyes widening just a bit and she skipped a breath again. She didn't pull it back.
Magdalena didn't understand why she was being so... so careful and slow. Why she was hesitating so much. She was usually quite confident, but Nikolai seemed to strip her of that confidence. Left her vulnerable, exposed, and unsure. It terrified her. And yet, despite the terror, she found herself being drawn in by him, unable to break away. Even when his eyes closed, she remained entranced. She didn't realize until that moment that her other hand was moving, cautiously brushing her fingers against his forearm. She swallowed a little harder then before, her heart beating so hard she could almost hear it pounding in her chest.
"I... should go get ready..." She almost gasped, her words breathy and unsure. Her hands were slow to respond, but they soon started to pull away from him.
She felt hollow again.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai was glad that she pushed her hand against his cheek. It just felt... So right. He was curious as to why he hadn't felt this way the other night when he had taken her home. This was so... Careful, so intimate. It was an unusual feeling for Niko to try to grasp.
When he felt her fingers on his forearm his eyes bolted open. He knew it was her, knew it was her fingers. But he hadn't expected it. Even then... He still liked it. And then, just like that... Her hands were gone. Niko's mouth dropped open slightly. Her words didn't upset him, but the loss of her touch did. Magdalena's voice was shaky, and he was curious why.
His eyes widened. "Your ankle...I haven't fixed it yet." Niko licked his lips and slowly slipped out of his chair, onto his knees in front of her. His hands reached out, and he gently grabbed her leg. His breathing hitched, and he had to take in a slow shaky breath before continuing. He was nervous and lustful all at the same time. Holding her leg in his left hand, he took out his wand and pointed it to her ankle. "Episkey." Niko's voice was rough as he spoke, his voice dry. He probably should've warned her that it was going to hurt slightly, but he hadn't been thinking straight.
Niko's wand was held up as he spoke once more. "Accio creme." After a minute, his creme from home flew through the open window. It was in the shape of a star, and it was green. It was lotion, it helped with pain. As he opened it, he used his two fingers to scoop some out. Letting her foot rest on his thigh, Niko slowly began rubbing the creme around the area, his eyes locked on hers.

Magdalena didn't move too quickly, and not just because of him this time. Part of it was because her body just.. didn't want to obey her. It didn't want to listen when she tried to move away. His gaze was just.. paralyzing, and she didn't understand why. So when he mentioned her ankle, he was moving before she even understood what he'd said. "Oh...." She breathed, that was the point of all of this, right? To prove he could handle touching her, so he could heal her ankle....
Her gaze followed him as he knelt down in front of her, and took the injured ankle in hand. She almost grimaced from the ankle moving, but at the same time there was that electricity once more. He hesitated only a moment before pulling out his wand and muttering the spell. Sharp, shooting pain ran up her leg, and she hissed, the leg involuntarily jerking just a little. And then, the pain was gone. She knew the spell he'd used, though she'd never attempted using it herself on anyone. If it hadn't been for his holding her leg, she probably would have brought the leg back together, but... well he was stronger then he looked. Okay, he looked pretty strong. A few moments ago she'd felt muscle. Not only that, he was a professional Quidditch Player.
He didn't stop there, summoning some sort of creme and began rubbing it into her ankle. His eyes locked with hers once more, and her breathing stopped. Dang it, why did he have to look at her like that? With such intense eyes, that each time she saw it she forgot how to function, and the only thing that existed was those eyes. Those beautiful, deep, sad, intense, eyes. Only when she remembered how to breath did she speak. "Thank you...." She didn't try to pull away.

@magdalena <3 As he glanced into her eyes, he wished he knew what she was feeling. It wasn't like she was shy... At least that's what she had told him. But she had been very quiet for some time now, Niko just hoped he hadn't overstepped. He licked his lips. The creme was rubbed in, but he didn't want to leave the spot he sat. "You're very welcome..." Niko's voice drifted off quietly.
Looking down at her foot, he noticed it beginning to swell. Niko knew that she'd have to put ice on it soon... But as of right now he had a different idea. Not looking up at her just yet, his hands slowly moved up her leg. The furthest he went was her knee, and he slowly massaged her leg down to her ankle, and back up again. His face was red, his breathing erratic, but he kept the massage going... Up and down, up and down...

Magdalena couldn't stand it. Not knowing what was going through his mind. Not knowing if, somehow, he was feeling the same way she was. She bit her lip, her chest feeling warm, but tight. As if there was a weight, but she didn't want it to leave. "What are you thinking..?" She softly asked, trying desperately to find an answer. Hoping, praying, that she wasn't alone in her thoughts.
He looked away, focusing on her ankle once more. She'd always been bad at telling when anything was swollen, but he seemed to spot something, so she could only assume that was what it was. She knew that most the time you wanted to use ice to get swelling down, and yet.... He didn't move. Didn't ask if she had any. Didn't let go of her leg. She leaned forward in her chair a bit, trying to come up with something to say to him. She didn't get the chance, because he moved his hands. Not away though. A shudder ran up her spine, and she barely managed to hide it, though her eyes closed momentarily as he started to massage her leg. When her eyes opened again, she saw that color had returned to his cheeks. For some reason, seeing him blush was an amazing sight, even though she'd already seen it once before. She chose not to comment, leaning back against the chair and closing her eyes once more.

@magdalena <3 What was he thinking? Well, he was thinking a whole lot of stuff. Exactly what, he wasn't sure. But there was no point in lying to her, he may as well just spit it all out. Nikolai bit his lip. "I'm trying to figure out what I'm feeling...and I'm trying to guess what you're thinking." It was a simple response, nothing much behind it. "And I'm amazed at how stunning you are." That's more like it.
It was like he could feel her body tingle beneath his fingers. She looked at him wide eyed, and then they were shut. After a moment, she opened them once more, to which he just studied her facial features, all the whole still massaging her leg. Magdalena closed her eyes. Niko let out a breath, the feeling of her skin underneath his finger tips making his heart race. He loved being so close to her. Hia love of that overpowered his fear of touch, and he wondered what it was about her that was making him change. His hand movements were slower now, as he massaged from her ankle to her knee.
Niko's hands stopped at her knee. He tilted his head at her leg, just taking it in. It was a different sight for him, and he was curious. He let his fingers slowly graze the top of her thigh before doing small circles around her knee cap.

Magdalena let out a breath as he said he was trying to figure out what he was thinking and feeling. Well he wasn't alone there. "Good or bad?" she asked softly. If she at least knew what direction he was thinking... That'd be enough. As he added that last part, of her being stunning, she felt her cheeks turn a touch pink. "Stunning?" a word she wouldn't have used to describe herself. Hearing him say it though.... That pressure in her check increased just a bit.
She almost jumped when she felt his hands move higher, just for a moment, before returning to her knee. Her eyes opened, and took him in. His face was still flushed, his breathing ragged. And yet, he hadn't moved away. But she knew if he didn't... She wouldn't be able to control herself for long. She let out her soft breath, and sat up straight. Moving just as slowly and carefully as before she covered his hands with her own. She didn't ask for permission this time. "I need to go get ready now."

@magdalena <3 Nikolai took a deep breath. He's breathing had calmed down slightly, but his cheeks were still a bright pink color. When he looked up at her he shrugged, giving a small smirk. "Good I guess." He was just teasing of course.
Magdalena looks uncomfortable, and he jumped a bit when her hands rested on his. She spoke firmly this time, and his hands immediately retracted. "Okay. I'm sorry." He gave her a sad, apologetic smile.

Magdalena smiled at his teasing. "What happened to your usual confidence? I guess isn't a very confident answer. " she teased back, even though she didn't need more of an answer. He hadn't said bad, that was all that mattered.
Magdalena didn't mean to surprise, or hurt him. The apology took her by surprise, as did his immediate withdrawal. It almost made her gasp as she felt that void return. "Don't apologize." she tried to sound firm, her voice breathy from the numbing emptiness created by his pulling away. She wanted desperately to pull him back. "I just didn't think you'd want an audience." she tried to tease, pointing out two unblinking pairs of eyes on the couch.
It took more will power then she thought she had to get up and step away from him, heading for the bedroom. "I won't be long. Be nice to them. " she closed the door behind her, and leaned heavily against it, letting out a heavy breath. She was falling for Nikolai Krum, and there was nothing she could do to stop it...
