Edmund was curious now. He wanted know if Grey was still on love potion or not. "Well if you want to, later you can go and talk to him and I can talk to Susan or Lucy or someone ..." he trailed off, not really sure what he would do. Then again, it's not like Addi leaving to talk to Grey would take hours. He'd be fine. And then afterwards he'd ask her what she thought. He smiled, "I guess I can share you with your brother tonight. But that's all. I expect you to spend the rest of your time with me." Possessive? Yes, but Ed didn't really care. In fact, a part of him hoped his sisters would notice he and Addi and how close they were, that they would make the connection. He was done hiding their relationship and he really just wanted to enjoy the Yule Ball with his girlfriend.
Edmund laughed when Addi told him that she'd try to catch him too. He knew she was strong- she had to in order to be a beater- but that wasn't a possibility. "You don't have to worry about that Adds. I won't fall," he told her confidently. Ed knew how to dance. He might hate it, but he could do it anywhere.
Addi said that being outside was nice and Ed smiled. He was glad to get out of the stuffy Great Hall. Not that he didn't like dancing with Addi, he did. He just liked the fresh air too. Apparently so did she so it was all good. "Good," he said, nodding firmly when she said she'd let him know if she got cold. "I am," Edmund admitted, unable to hide the surprise in his tone. He really hadn't anticipated enjoying himself so much. "This is the best Ball I've ever been to." It wasn't hard to say that. It was all because he was here with Addi. She made it great. "How about you?"

@edmund <3 "That would be great, Edmund! I'd love to go talk to him, maybe even snag a dance from him if he's willing." Addi would also like for Edmund to dance with one of his sister's at least, she knows they'd like it just as much as she'd like a dance with her brother as well. Her eyes widened at his next comment, and her jaw dropped slightly. Holy! She'll take note to never go against Edmund's wishes at another dance. But, she ended up giggling. "Of course I'll spend my time with you, E. But my brother will get some of it!"
She smiled. "I hope not! I'm not actually sure I'd be able to catch you."
Addilyn also enjoyed dancing with Edmund but the cold outside was beautiful. And they had all night to dance more! Taking a lovely walk with her boyfriend was just as fun, especially with how beautifully the school was decorated. "I'm glad! It's the best and only Ball I've ever been to!" She laughed, knowing Edmund had lived his lives around going to balls. "I'm having fun, Edmund, don't worry."

Edmund smiled when Addi made it obvious that she liked his idea, and not just because he was curious about whether or not Grey was still on love potion. He knew that the one thing that could make this Ball better for Addi would be for her to spend some of her time with her brother. In a positive way. Hopefully even a love-potioned Grey wouldn't be stupid enough to make Addi upset during the Yule Ball. When Addi giggled at his next comment, Edmund smiled to show that he was semi-teasing. He really didn't mind her spending time with her brother, but he didn't want her to dance with other guys. He wanted to enjoy this ball with her. "I would expect nothing else," he teased.
Edmund let his jaw drop so he could joke with his girlfriend some more. "Are you calling me fat?" He doubted she would take him seriously, but that didn't take the fun out of asking the question.
Addi said she was enjoying herself and Edmund nodded. He was glad. He didn't want her to be pretending or anything, he really wanted to make sure that Addi enjoyed herself here. "Alright, I won't," he told her before bending down to give her a gentle kiss. They would probably have to go back in soon, but Ed wasn't ready to think about that yet.

@edmund <3 Addilyn grinned at her boyfriend. She was glad he wasn't upset that she wanted to see her brother. There was no way she would try to avoid Edmund or spend time away from him, that wouldn't make this a fun night! He was everything she wanted, and while she would see other people at the Ball, Addilyn's eyes were all for Edmund. When she saw his jaw drop, Addi's own jaw dropped and she covered it quickly with her hand. "Of course not!" Even hearing Edmund ask her that question caused her to jump into a fit of laughter. He could never be fat!
"Good." Her breath stopped in her throat when she felt his lips on hers, and her body melted, becoming incredibly still. Addilyn pushed back gently, kissing him. Her hands grasped the front of his jacket, pulling him down closer to her.

He couldn't keep his expression serious. When Addi started laughing at his question, Ed chuckled. After all, he'd only said it just to tease her. And he found ... he was in a mood to mess with her. "I'm not quite sure I believe you," he told her in an airy voice. He was almost positive she wouldn't believe him, but still. He said it.
She kissed him back, pulling him back when he'd moved away and Edmund gave in for a while. Then a vision of his sisters flashed in his mind and he pulled away, a wide smile on his face. "We don't want to make a scene now, do we Adds?" He joked, wanting to lighten the mood a little bit. "You want to go back in or stay out here a little longer?"

@edmund <3 Addilyn ran her hand through Edmund's hair, more giggles erupting from her lips. "Well, you should believe me, E. You are SO not fat, nothing close to it! Just too muscular for me to catch." Addi winked at him, dancing around him and skipping along the cobblestone path. He had pulled away from her kiss, and she frowned slightly, but nodded her head. "We don't have to make a scene, but kissing is nothing bad!" She smiled. It didn't even occur to Addilyn that he may be concerned about his siblings as she didn't care if her siblings saw, though she knew Edmund wasn't one to be very open in public. "Could we keep walking for a bit? I'm still a bit hot."

Edmund grinned, loving how it felt when Addi played with his hair. It was something that he definitely enjoyed, probably because it didn't happen all too often. "Well, I'm glad that you think that," he told her in a teasing tone. Then she started flitting around him and Ed's eyes just followed her curiously. What was she doing? She might be cold or something, but she wasn't acting like she wanted to go back inside, so he was just going to let her do whatever. At least he could just enjoy this time with her. "I never said kissing was bad, Adds," he said softly, bending down and pecking her quickly. "I'm just not used to doing it in front of people," he explained. Would that make sense to her or would she be upset at him? Probably not. After all, tonight was supposed to be all about enjoying their time with one another. He nodded when she asked if they could walk. "Of course! We can stay out here as long as you want," he reached over and took her hand as he pulled her along the path. They'd really outdone themselves with the decorations and Ed was enjoying it. He decided to just enjoy the silence. That was the nice thing about being with Addi. If he didn't have anything to say, he didn't have to force anything, he could just be quiet and that was fine.

@edmund <3 Addilyn rose an eyebrow and tilted her head. "Are you ever going to be okay with it, Edmund?" Her tone of voice became softer, and she gave him a sad smile. Addilyn couldn't help but feel like he was slightly embarrassed of her. It had been months, months of them keeping their relationship secret. And while they had been best friends for over six years now, Edmund still couldn't kiss her in public. The feeling of his hand in hers made her glance up at him, but she continued to walk, just thinking. She loved Edmund, but it had been too long. Living her life in secret was upsetting, and she didn't find it fair to her.

Addi asked the question. The same one she'd been asking for weeks and Edmund was finally ready to answer it the way she wanted. "Yes, Adds," he told her softly. "I mean, I don't want to make a scene here with my sisters, but I'm not hiding it from them anymore. If they ask me tonight, I'll tell them the truth. And if they don't, I'll find them tomorrow and tell them about us." He hadn't been planning on telling them now, but it just seemed like the right time and- to his surprise- Edmund wasn't nervous about it. In fact, it kind of seemed silly to be nervous about telling his sisters how he felt about Addi. After all, they knew her. At least, they knew of her and as far as he was aware they would get along with her just fine. He walked along with her, squeezing her hand and hoping she was pleased by that. He didn't want to make Susan or Lucy's night all about him by telling them tonight, but he was done hiding and Addi had a right to know that.

@edmund <3 They walked, and Edmund answered her question. He finally answered it the way she's been hoping to hear for months now, and while she was excited and happy, she was still confused about why he had been so afraid to tell them in the first place. Addilyn knew Edmund to be a keep to himself kind of guy, but this was just...taking forever! His sisters couldn't react that bad; Addilyn knew of Lucy and Susan but had never spoke to them, and Will seemed to have enjoyed her company. Especially since he knows of her sister. "Well I'm glad you're finally comfortable with it...and me."

Edmund knew that it had been hard for Addi to keep their relationship a secret from others, but he was glad that she had. it meant a lot to him that she was willing to wait until he was ready. "I've always been comfortable with you, Adds. I just ... I don't have the closest relationship with my siblings, as you know, and I wasn't ready emotionally for their reactions, whatever they're going to be. I'm ready now. Waiting had nothing to do with you." He wanted to make sure that was clear to her, but didn't know if she understood. It was only recently that he really started talking with his siblings and he didn't want to put stress on that by announcing a relationship. It was strange, but how Ed's brain worked. "Are you ready to go back in for another dance or do you want to stay out here?" Ed asked softly after a few minutes of silence.

@edmund <3 Addilyn knew they were two completely different people. That's why they had become so close and gotten together. Opposites attract, at least that's what she's seen and heard in her life time. And this was quite as obvious, since both Edmund and Addilyn didn't have very close relationships with their siblings, but Addi had felt comfortable enough telling Grey, who practically had gone from hating her to loving her within a couple of months. Edmund was quite the introvert, but she was sure he would find a way to become closer with his siblings eventually. "We can go back inside and dance. But first..." She stopped walking and looked up, smiling gently and put a small kiss on his lips.

She seemed to understand that his behavior in no way reflected poorly on her and Ed was glad. He hated the idea of Addi blaming herself for his personal problems. It wasn't her fault that he struggled to connect with his family, the people it should be easiest to connect to. He smiled, turning around as she said that they could go back inside. Then he paused, closing his eyes and smiling when she kissed him. "I could do with a little more of that, Miss Slater," he teased, bending down to kiss her a few times in succession. He wanted her to be sure about how he felt for her, and if that meant reminding her with kisses, he would most certainly do that before taking her inside and sweeping her off her feet with his dancing. After a few minutes he pulled away, "Let's go dance," he encouraged lightly.

@edmund <3 "Oh could you?" Addilyn laughed as Edmund bent down to kiss her more. She returned them, smiling happily. It was nice, to be able to express their emotions and feelings whenever they wanted. Not having to keep their relationship a secret anymore was the most wonderful feeling, she couldn't explain anything like it. Addi would relate it to something like freedom. Edmund eventually pulled away and she smiled widely, grabbing his hand. "Let's!"

Laughing, Edmund pulled Addi back into the Great Hall and onto the dance floor. He wanted to spend the rest of the evening with her, other than letting her dance with Grey. And maybe someone else, if they asked really nice. Giving her a little time to herself was probably a very good idea so that he could dance with his sisters. The dance they joined in on was a quick one, so Edmund didn't have a lot of energy to talk with. Once it was over he led her over to the side of the dance floor, breathing heavily. "Do you want to search out Grey now? I can see if Lucy or Susan want a dance with me while you're with him?" He asked, not sure if she'd want that now or later.
