Just Say You Won't Let Go [Quinn]

[Deleted]

Green eyes briefly drifted close as she felt Seph's hand against her cheek again, they quickly opened again though - unable to stay closed for long while Seph was still so close. Her stomach flipped quickly as Seph told her it has been okay to kiss her all she wanted, for awhile now and the fact that she wasn't going to stop doing it now. It made her smile and a small giggle escapes her, "So if I wanted to kiss you... I can just go ahead and do that all I want?" she leans into the touch against her cheek, sighing happily - she just felt so happy and light.. and just... so happy right now that she was pretty sure she could be called 'giddy' with now question. It made her lean in and on a small burst of happiness brush her lips against Seph's in a gentle but quick peck. "I'm totally okay with kissing you in front of people.." there was no hesitation as she spoke the words, there was no question about it, "I mean.. if you're okay with me kissing you in front of people.. are you?" If she wasn't, Quinn would be careful not to do so - but she did hope it'd be okay, she couldn't imagine not being able to show off her new girlfriend and that she was allowed to kiss her all she wanted.

It was like some kind of strange and happy dream, she was pretty sure if she wanted to she could probably float around happily, having it confirmed, outloud by Seph - it made it so much more real and Quinn was fairly certain her cheeks were going to be hurting for days afterwards with how much she was smiling, "And I am your girlfriend now.." she breathed out quickly, sighing happily as she wraps her arms around Seph, giggling softly, "Of course I said yes, there was no question about that Sephy.." she rests her head against Seph's as she rests her head on Quinn's shoulder, shifting slightly to place a gentle kiss against her head. "I was worried too, I was actually... I was afraid of what you'd say when I told you how I felt.. I was.. I was scared I might lose you.. which, now I know is kind of stupid but..." she gives a slight shrug, breathing in as she pulls back slightly, resting her forehead against Seph's gently.

Watching Quinn as she closed her eyes, like she was savoring her touch, put a smile on her face and made her heart feel fuller than it had ever been. She breathed in deep the feeling that it gave her and she just kept thinking that she never wanted that moment to end with her. Luckily enough, the train ride was long enough that she would be able to spend more time with her before they had to part ways for the summer. She nodded and smiled at Quinn's inquiry about kissing her whenever she wanted and went to respond just as the Ravenclaw leaned in and kissed her lightly. She giggled and beamed once she pulled back. "Whenever you want to, as much as you want to. I don't think I could ever get tired of your kisses," her voice came out on an airy, dreamy sigh. She then nodded quickly in agreement with her statement. "I am totally okay with you kissing me in front of anyone," she said as she continued nodding. She wondered how her siblings would react to the fact that she had a girlfriend now. They would probably be surprised that it was Quinn! She should probably tell them so their first time hearing about wouldn't be from seeing them kiss.

Seph held on just a bit longer, listening to the sound of Quinn's voice and closing her eyes before she felt her leave a kiss on her forehead. She smiled with the comfort it as well as her words brought to her. Quinn liked her and felt the same way about her that she felt and it was so nice hearing it out loud, hearing her say it with a quiet confidence and joy that Seph had always wanted to hear. "No matter what your answer would have been, you would have never lost me Quinn. I promise. You mean too much to me for that." She spoke her words just as she felt Quinn pulling away and smiled shyly as she rested her forehead against hers. "I will always be here for you. I really mean that." They were so close now that her words came out softer because she didn't feel as if her voice needed to carry. They were so close that Seph knew she would hear her, hoped that she would feel the words in the way that she held on to her and wouldn't look away from her, no matter what. She always wanted to be there for her, whether that was as her girlfriend or as her best friend.

There were several things that Quinn had learnt about her relationship with Seph, even before admitting how her feelings for the other girl had changed - one of course was that she was protective over her, anyone that upset Seph would end up dealing with a certainly not happy Quinn quickly afterwards. But Quinn grew used to Seph's touch, any touch - from a hug - to Seph grabbing her hand when she was excited about something - honestly, any touch from the Hufflepuff and Quinn's body would relax and almost hum happily from wherever their skin met. The deeper her feelings ran - the more she looked forward to those moments and the feelings it gave her - her body grew pleasantly warm and she now loved and savored the touches. Of course now she had been happily granted permission to kiss her any time she wanted, and kissing Seph - well. That was clearly nearly her favorite kind of touch as she giggled and leaned in, quickly stealing another kiss as her face lit up with a bright smile, "I'm going to remind you of you saying that if you start to get annoyed with me kissing you in front of people..." it was a tiny tease although she was sure that if ever that happened she'd be careful to only do whatever Seph was okay with, she was also certain that Seph was also aware of that. But she was so happy right now, she had a girlfriend - and her girlfriend was Seph and was one of her best friends. Seph was her girlfriend.

Few people really saw this side of Quinn, while she was far from mean or anything like that. She was well known for being protective of her friends and for not having a whole lot of friends as it was - but this side. The gentle - comforting, sweet side - this was something few saw other than Seph at least. The gentle smile as she listened to her words, calming herself - although she would always worry a little - the mere idea of losing Seph from her life was down right heart breaking, "You mean too much to me as well, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you too - always and forever." The words were practically whispered as they were basically so close that they were breathing the same air, she felt so light and happy. All the worrying she had done, the running and fears - they were all gone and all that was left was this happy bubble in this train compartment they were in.

"I don't want us to go our separate ways for break.. " she gave a tiny pout, shifting slightly so she could wrap her arms around her girlfriend. "This is gonna suck.. I'm gonna miss you."

Seph honestly didn't think she could be happier than she was now. Except when Quinn leaned in and stole another kiss from her, her smile grew even wider across her face and she giggled. Quinn said she would remind her that she'd said that about kissing her whenever she wanted if Seph began to get tired of it. Seph truthfully didn't think she could, especially with the way she was feeling now. Even if all the rest of the train ride consisted of Quinn stealing kisses from her and them holding on to each other, she would be perfectly okay with that. "Okay but remind me with kisses okay? I'm sure I'll remember then because I like kissing you so much," Sephy said letting another giggle escaped her lips. Her girlfriend didn't have anything to worry about in that area. She wanted to kiss her again, even now and she wanted Quinn to kiss her back and she was just so glad that all of this was actually happening to her.

They were so close now and when Quinn told her that she meant as much to her as Quinn mean to Sephy, that feeling came over her again, the need to kiss her and hope she knew how she felt. Her heart burst and she leaned forward, placing her hand on her cheek this time as she kissed her and lingered a few seconds longer than their previous quick kisses. When she pulled back, Seph had tears in her eyes once again. "Happy tears again," she sniffled as she wiped her eyes of them. The words meant so much to her and they touched her that she couldn't keep the tears from gathering in her eyes once again. It was nice to hear that from her. And then she chuckled through wiping her tears as Quinn pouted and wrapped her arms around her, giving voice to thoughts she'd wanted to forget. The train ride would be over sooner than later and they would have to part ways for the summer. "I know. But at least we'll have our letters. I promise to write you like I always did." It wouldn't be quite the same now because Quinn was her girlfriend but just thinking about being able to write her girlfriend over the course of the summer made her feel a bit lighter.

It was hard to not continue to steal those sweet little kisses, her own smile brightening as she heard the gentle giggles escaping from Seph. Her girlfriend. The mere thought was enough to make her feel those familiar butterflies that were honestly feeling more like crazy frogs jumping around in her stomach. Surprisingly enough, they weren't making her feel as nervous and almost sick as they had been these past few weeks - instead oddly enough, it was almost comforting. "That sounds like something I can do - I don't think I'd ever get tired of reminding you." her cheeks were a soft pink as she spoke these words, her eyes - her whole face was so happy. If she hadn't believed in magic, she would swear it were possible that she'd be floating in her happiness. This was real and it was happening and god, she never wanted this train ride to end.

Quinn was finding it far easier now to actually speak about how she was feeling, it was just like it had been before her feelings had overwhelmed and confused her - she could speak to Sephy, without fear and worries getting in her way. It felt good, but not as good as it did when Sephy leaned in and kissed her again, this time she returned it - letting it last as long as she could. The sight of tears brought a quick worry as it always did, but the gentle reminder eased it quickly, "Happy tears are okay." she had her own eyes watering slightly even as she gently reached up, nudging Seph's own hands away so she could gently wipe the tears aside.

She wasn't the best with words, writing things down always felt a little awkward, but pictures - she could speak far easier though those and she already had a few ideas of things she felt that she needed to put into a drawing or two. She'd make sure to send them over the break. Her face pressed against Seph's shoulder, keeping the other girl close as she tried her best to not pout too much, their time was running out before they would have to get off the train. Truth be told, Quinn hadn't needed to go back on the train as McGonagall had told her - but she had wanted to have this talk and see Sephy before the break, all her worries had been getting too much and avoiding Sephy had almost physically began to hurt her. Bestfriend or Girlfriend, Sephy was important to Quinn.

"I'll write you too, as much as I can - and I'll draw a bunch of things for you too. Maybe.. maybe we can meet up a few times too..." The last part was a little more hesitant than it usually was, not to mention slightly muffled as she still hadn't moved away from the - rather badly hidden spot - against Seph's shoulder, "After all.. I need to take my girlfriend on a date - but I mean, that's only if she wants to of course.." she finally shifts from her spot, tilting her head slightly as she lets her lips curl into a sheepish little smile.

The fact that the train ride would end eventually seemingly hung over them but Seph held on to Quinn like it wouldn't. The Ravenclaw promised that she would remind her, that she would never get tired of reminding her that she'd said she could kiss her whenever she wanted, and Seph smiled and sighed dreamily. Happiness like this didn't come around often. She took hold of Quinn's hand and squeezed it lightly, hoping that she knew exactly how she was feeling, that maybe she felt the same way that she did. And when she reached up and began wiping her eyes of the tears, seeing the water in her eyes too, she felt it then and knew that she did. She wanted to kiss her again then too. "You keep doing things that make me want to kiss you," she sounded a bit perplexed when she said the words but she also sounded as happy as she felt so she kissed her on the cheek this time, thinking that maybe that would make it better.

Seph listened closely as Quinn promised to write her and send a bunch of pictures to her over the break and smiled because nothing would make her happier. It turned into a series of quick nods before Quinn could even finish talking. She wanted to see her over break. Seph hadn't even realized that was possible now because she was going to stay with McGonagall over the summer! She was actually going to be in the wizarding world now and it would be so much easier for her to send letters to her girlfriend and see her because she would be in the wizarding world. No more waiting days at a time for letters because she could just send everything to her by owl! "Yes. Definitely yes. I want to see you over the break if I can. Oh but the vacation might get in the way," the last part was mumbled to herself as she thought about the fact that the Bainbridges were taking a vacation at some point. "It's okay, we'll figure it out but I definitely want to see you. I definitely want to go on a date with you." She didn't even need to ask, there was no question about it. Seph was so excited about the summer now. Even though they would be apart, they wouldn't have to be apart for long. If McGonagall was okay with it of course.

Quinn was struggling to now ignore that the train ride was soon to be ending, if she worked it out correctly there was only really a few more minutes until the train would arrive at Kings Cross. Ignoring that fact was a little hard but she was trying to do so as she focused more on the girl in her arms. Her girlfriend. Her bestfriend. She smiled instead, shifting to place a gentle kiss on Seph's own cheek, "Maybe that's my plan Sephy - I'll do things that make you want to kiss you - that way I get even more kisses. It's my own wicked plan you know." she tried her best to hide her grin, biting her lip even to try and keep it hidden. She loved to gently tease the other girl, and her happiness was slipping through and making it more obvious she was struggling to keep her voice serious as she spoke of this 'wicked plan'. 

The thought of being apart all summer was something of a struggle. While it had always been a little hard saying goodbye as Summer arrived - this year it was feeling oddly worse. She knew she was going back somewhere safe - she wasn't going to have to be afraid of things that could happen this year - yet the idea of saying goodbye was feeling.. worse for some reason that she couldn't place. It was odd really. But she had ideas - of pictures she could send and things she would write over the break. And the idea that infact she could actually see Seph - it was possible this summer for her to see her friends - and now even more important she could see Sephy this summer. "We'll arrange something - maybe before your vacation, and you know - this year you can write to me during your vacation cause you can send an owl - although I still want to hear about it after you get back, maybe we can go for ice cream when you get back." she nodded happily at the idea, usually she'd get a huge letter when Sephy got back from vacation, it was one of the letters she had always looked forward to most over break.

She shifted slightly, wrapping an arm around Sephy's waist and dropping her head on her shoulder, shifting to make sure they were both comfortable as she glanced out the window of the train. In past years she had memorized how much longer by what she could see outside - and dread had always filled her the closer she got to the train station. Now - while it was a sad feeling of saying goodbye - she also found a little excitement after talking of letters and meeting up over the break. It wouldn't be goodbye really - just a 'see you in a few weeks' or less if she was really lucky.

Sephy grinned as Quinn spoke and kissed her. She really liked that plan especially because she really liked kissing her. The way she bit her lip, trying to hide the grin and playfulness in her words made Sephy let out a light and airy giggle, her face brightening. "Keep it up and you’ll get all of the kisses you want from me," she laughed. And to think, she had felt this way about Quinn for a while now. She had been fully prepared to keep her feelings hidden from her to maintain their friendship. Had she never said anything, Quinn had never kissed her, had none of this had happened, everything would have remained in the dark. She would have never been able to hold Quinn like this. She sighed happily, the weight of her heart a deep comfort. She would not have been happy like this. She liked having her best friend but having her as a girlfriend was astronomically better.

Quinn then discussed them arranging a date over the break before and after her family vacation and Sephy nodded quickly. She would love to see her as much as possible over the break. Nothing would make her happier. "I promise. I’ll even send you some cute postcards of wherever we go." They needed to figure out where they were going first but no matter where it was, Quinn was going to get a postcard of it. She would even buy a bunch of the postcards to send to her even after they came back because just one didn’t seem good enough. She was somewhere she would be able to see her though and somewhere she would be able to send her letters much faster and that was perfect to Seph.

They both shifted then into a more comfortable position, Quinn wrapping her arm around her waist so they were sitting side by side and able to look out of the window. Seph gently laid her head on top of hers and placed her hand on the one that was on her waist. Not even seconds later did the Hogwarts train let out a loud whistle, signaling the approach to King’s Cross Station. Seph tried her hardest not to get sad. She knew she needed to go back to the compartment she shared with her siblings so that she could get her things in order. Leaving Quinn felt like the worst idea ever. She didn’t move for a few too many seconds before she sighed and sat up. She wouldn’t let go of her hand yet. "I have to get back. But I don’t want to." She stood up anyway, spinning so she could keep Quinn’s hand in hers. "I’ll write you though, ‘kay?"

Quinn was feeling so bubbly and ... giddy, it was almost funny but she couldn't help it. She was honestly feeling so happy which in some ways wasn't such an odd thing. She always felt happier when she was around Sephy, but she giggles again - biting back a hint of a smirk as she looks back up at the words, "Is that supposed to be a threat or a promise..? Because getting all the kisses I want sounds like a wonderful thing to me." When she had decided to board the train and get her feelings out in the open she had honestly prepared herself to either beg to keep their friendship or spend the summer nursing a broken heart. Instead she was faced with a promising future and their friendship moving onwards to something deeper and special. It certainly had turned out far better than she had expected.

For now she was certainly not going to hide the happiness she was feeling, even if she'd later feel a little silly about how she was acting, she knew Sephy wasn't going to tease her about any of it. "Postcards?" That would be something new to add to her little collection of things she kept, "I've never gotten an actual postcard before." she noted outloud but nodded happily, already this Summer was turning out to be the best one yet for her. With promises of meeting up and promises of letters and even postcards.

She was enjoying the calm, the closeness and warmth of snuggling up to her bestfriend - now girlfriend. The word even in her own mind was making her smile goofily. But as she heard the familiar sound of the train whistling her smile quickly in the blink of an eye turned into a honest to goodness pout. It'd be a bittersweet thing, but - they would be okay. She gave a slight nod to herself before moving to let Sephy get up and follow her to her feet, "I know." she offered a small smile -  keeping their hands connected as she moved to gently place a sweet kiss on her lips once more, "We'll see each other soon too, so its not a goodbye - cause goodbyes kinda suck. Plus I'll write to you as soon as I get back to McGonagall's - you will barely have time to miss me!" She stated and  held their joined hands up, giving a slight squeeze, "You gotta go meet up with your siblings Seph, let me know when I can take you on our first date and give Teddy a little hug from me."

She had said that she hadn't wanted to go back, everything in her was telling her to stay next to Quinn or just a few more minutes but she knew better. She knew a few minutes would turn into just enough time for the train to stop at the station and for everyone else to get off of the train first. She would sit there and her sisters, after realizing that Seph wasn't back, would have to go up and down the train looking for her and they would find her there with Quinn. She shouldn't cause any more trouble. Quinn kissed her once again and the urge to stay go worse. With more words, Quinn reassured her that they would see each other soon, that she would write her as soon as she was back at McGonagall's and Seph smiled at her girlfriend before nodding. She didn't move though. Not until Quinn reminded her that she had to get back to her siblings. She felt the train pull to a stop then. "Okay... I'll write you when I get home too! And I promise we'll have our first date soon." She grinned and kissed Quinn once again before finally letting go of her hand. "I'll see you soon." With one last smile, she turned and walked back down the train aisle to the compartment she knew her sisters to be in.
