Best Friend Time [[Lisbet]]

[Aydin Elijah Bennett]

It had been so long since Aydin had talked to his best friend Lisbet. He felt really bad that he hadn’t even told her about anything that was going on in his life. Sure, she had probably heard about him and Neko or seen them together in school since they were hardly ever apart, but Aydin hadn’t officially told her that he had fallen in love and everything that came along with it. So he sent Lisbet an owl asking her to meet him out on the plenene, where they would always fly together, so they could fly and talk and just generally catch up.

As much as he loved spending time with Neko and hated to even spend a second away from him, Aydin felt terrible neglecting Lisbet like that. He had no idea what was going on in her life either which was annoying him greatly because he had heard she was talking with someone and that interested him greatly. If his little sister was going to be dating someone he wanted to at least know who the guy was and if he was going to treat her right.

Today, Aydin dressed in some skinny jeans, a tight band tee shirt and a black hoodie. It had been snowing off and on for a while so in case it did start snowing, he wanted to be prepared. Grabbing his broom and flinging it over his shoulder and grabbing a single yellow rose he had picked up for her earlier that day, he made his way down to the plenene to wait for her. He hoped she hadn’t gotten there first, he didn’t want her waiting in the cold for him.

[Lisbet Petra Saetre]

Lisbet was laying in bed just staring at the ceiling, she had been there ever since her date with Sheldon, mainly because she was just so sore from all the flying that they had done. She had had a good time with him but it wasn't like when she flew with Aydin. She felt a pang in her chest, Aydin hadn't told her anything about Neko. She knew about it from hearing about that hot dude with Aydin, Neko with Aydin, 'Hey Lisbet you know Aydin right? Well spill about his man...' UGH! I'm so done. Aydin hasn't been a very good friend and yet I am still in love with him even though I know he's pretty much gay now... She thought as she closed her eyes. AND BESIDES! He's been avoiding ME...not the other way around! She harumphed and then heard an Owl tapping at her window.
She sat up curiously and noticed that it was Aydin's owl that he usually used to get her to open her mail. She sighed and seriously considered just sending back the letter then she felt a pang of guilt. Maybe he isn't ignoring you. I mean come on he didn't know how you felt about him, even if he did, would you want it to happen? He's a good friend Liz. Don't lose your friend because you are so stubborn. She opened the window and let the owl in, she tossed it an owl treat and grabbed the letter. She opened it and read it. Smiling she jumped off her bed and opened her closet, she threw on a dress with leggings, boots, and her winter cloak.
She pulled her hair in a pony tail and let ringlets come down from her head to frame her face.
She grabbed her broom and left the castle, she walked down to the plenene where they normally met and saw Aydin waiting there for her. She ran and squealed, Ayyyyydddddiiiiinnnn! She jumped into his arms and hugged him. It had been too long, she pulled away and said, So what inspired you to want to fly today? Considering we haven't seen each other in months? She raised her eyebrows and twitched her nose and crossed her arms at him. She realized that she didn't feel that feeling she normally felt around him...maybe she was over it.

[Aydin Elijah Bennett]

Aydin waited patiently for Lisbet to arrive. It kind of seemed like she was taking forever though. Maybe he owl got lost or something, but no, his owl knew the way to her room…he had been there a million times. Then what could it be? She wasn’t mad at him was she? He really hoped not. It would really suck to have to lose his best friend over this…this was such good news and everything. Looking down at the rose he was holding, he noticed that it was starting to get cold and a bit wilted, so he unzipped his hoodie slightly and stuck it in there to keep it warm, taking care not to harm it.

After a few minutes, he really started to get worried. Maybe she just didn’t want to come meet him…he was about to just pack up his broom and go when he saw her heading his way. Finally… He thought to himself as her smiling self began to run towards him. As she jumped at him, he opened his arms and pulled her into a hug, squeezing her tightly. [orange]Lizzzzzzzyyyyy!!!!!![/orange] He said back excitedly as he hugged her, spinning her around a bit. He hadn’t realized how much he missed her until now. After a couple of seconds he put her down a smiled at her. She looked happy for some reason…a reason he wanted to know why. It wasn’t like she couldn’t be happy…he was just curious as to the reason. When she called him out for not seeing her for so, long he couldn’t help but frown. [orange]It hasn’t been months! Maybe a couple of weeks but definitely not months…but why do I have to have a reason to want to fly with my bestie? [/orange] He asked, as smirk returning to his face as he ruffled her hair. Lisbet seemed genuinely mad at him though…which was bugging him. Though his awesome Aydin-ish charms knew just how to diffuse this situation. [orange]Fine fine…I know I should have talked to you in the past couple of weeks…but I’ve been busy…and I’ll tell you why once we start flying. But does this make up for it? [/orange] He asked, pulling out the yellow rose he had in his hoodie and handing it to her, giving her his adorable “im sorry” smile.

[Lisbet Petra Saetre]

Liz laughed when Aydin picked her up and spun her around. She had really missed him, she hadn't really realized it till he hugged her back. She playfully pushed his hand away from her hair and pulled her ponytail tighter. She studied him, he looked really happy, happier than she had ever seen him. Maybe Neko was good for him after all, she had never seen him glowing only just shinning. She sighed when he said weeks. Don't know you in best friend lingo that weeks equal months and months equal years.... She grinned and ruffled his hair, well tried to anyway, he was taller than her after all.
Well its just I figured you'd want to fly with me more frequently if I am indeed your bestie. I've tried sending you owls, but since old Ambrosius died...none of the owls can seem to find your room. I don't know why... She shrugged, she had been trying to send him owls but she never got a response. And when I see you in the corridors or around, you're always with Neko, and I don't want to intrude. The truth was, her feelings for Aydin kept her away and Neko really intimidated her for some reason, there was something off about him and the Veela in her told her to stay away from him. She looked at Aydin and felt a little bit of a warning but she pushed it into the back of her mind.
When she heard his lame apology she smiled and said, That was really....lame. She giggled and then she saw the yellow rose that he pulled out of his pocket, he really did know her, she squeaked and grabbed the rose and sniffed it, Apology accepted love. She hugged him again and grabbed her broom and mounted it. She placed the rose in her back and put a spacial charm on it so it wouldn't get crushed. So you ready? I have something to tell you too I guess.
As she flew up she looked at Aydin and said, So whats the story on you and Neko? All the girls in Katt house are swooning over him and jealous of you. They won't shut up, I actually had to charm my door. She grinned at him and continued to fly.

[Aydin Elijah Bennett]

Aydin could help but chuckle at her “best friend lingo”. [orange] I guess I’m not up to date on all of this “new lingo” about…I’ve been sheltered these past couple of weeks. [/orange] He even made the air quotes with his fingers when he said new lingo, just to be even more lame. It was true though, since the night of the dance he really was off in his own little world with Neko, and the only time he got out of it at all was when he had to concentrate in class. Though that was hard enough since Neko was in almost all of his classes. It was funny though, with Liz tried to ruffle his hair because he was several inches taller than her and all he really had to do was stand on tip toe and step back and she wouldn’t be able to do it. But he decided to be nice and let her since he had done it to her.

He felt really guilty when she said she had been sending him owls. Truth be told, he had gotten a few of them, but most of the time it was true that the owl couldn’t find him. He was a hard person to track down these days. For almost a week after the dance he and Neko literally weren’t even in this world and now that they were back, Aydin hardly ever spent any time in his room…Neko’s room was nicer. [orange]Yeah uh…they’re probably finding my room ok…but I’m literally never in there anymore. I tend to sleep in Neko’s room most nights and I only go in my room to get dressed in the morning. [/orange] He said with a nervous grin. He still hadn’t officially told Lisbet about Neko and he was still wondering how she would take it. He wondered if he would be able to tell her EVERYTHING…he doubted it though. Everything was a lot to take in…he would probably just stick to the condensed version.

He was glad when she accepted his apology, even though she called it lame, he knew he had her when he brought out the flower. He knew just how to make her smile…which came from years and years of messing up with her. Mess up enough times, you learn how to fix the mistakes quite fast. [orange]Yeah I’m ready…[/orange] He said, mounting his broom and pushing off lightly, wondering what she could possibly have to tell him. But before he could ask, she had already asked her question. He flew next to her, keeping at the same speed as her but trying not to go too fast so that they could still hear each other talk without having to yell. He was also trying to figure out where to start with his story…but the beginning seemed to be a good place. [orange] Well we met in classes a while back and I’m sure you noticed all that…tension between us that day we talked in the hallway with Krystyna. But yeah…we really didn’t talk all that much until the night of the dance and that’s when everything just kinda happened. [/orange] He stopped and hovered, hoping she would realize and stay next to him. [orange]I love him Lizzy…like literally, out of my mind over the moon out of this world in love with him. We’re actually…getting married. [/orange] He said looking at her nervously. He hoped she was going to be supportive…but this was sudden even for him that he wasn’t sure how she was going to take it.

[Lisbet Petra Saetre]

Lisbet smiled when he did the air quotes and nodded when he said he'd been sheltered. I know! Ever since the dance, don't think I didn't notice. Of course she noticed, she noticed how he couldn't leave Neko's side and surprisingly she wasn't jealous. She was envious of that feeling though, she could tell that they were in love and she wouldn't change it even if she could. Liz grinned when she noticed he didn't pull away and let her ruffle his hair. Thanks. She smirked.
When she heard that he'd been staying in Neko's room she nodded, Well I guess from now on I'll have to send the owls to his room huh. She thought she would feel angry hearing about Aydin sleeping in Neko's room but surprisingly she wasn't even upset. Maybe now that she had been on a date and realized that everyone was hooking up now and settling down with people that they enjoyed to be with, maybe she was actually realizing that Aydin was happy and she was happy. She wasn't her usual mopey self anymore. Could she thank Sheldon for this or could she thank the fact that she was growing up.
While they were flying she listened to him talk about Neko, she nodded when he brought up that day in the Corridor with Krystyna and said, Yeah I remember... She remembered feeling very upset that Aydin was eyeing Neko, she remembered feeling sorry for Krystyna who had been trying to get Aydin's attention. What ever happened between you and that Krystyna chick. Whenever she sees me she gives me a dirty look. I have a feeling you have something to do with that huh? She grinned playfully at him. All that resentment that had built up over the course of a few weeks was almost completely melted away.
She noted that he had stopped and she stopped too and listened to him. What exactly happened. I mean other than you getting that positively radiant glow of happiness about you. She heard him say that he loved Neko and smiled, how could she feel resentful or angry when the man that she loved for a long time as a crush and even longer as a brother was happy? She held onto the broom with one hand and hugged him with the other arm, Oh Aydin! She heard him say they were getting married and she squeaked, Oh Aydin!!! Married!!! Oh my goodness! When? I better be in the wedding party. She glared at him in seriousness at the last part and then grinned. If not I'll be a tad bit upset. She flew around him in a circle and then stopped, Aydin. You know I'm Veela right. Well I think that all Mythical creatures can pick up on others...I mean like I know that there is a teacher on the grounds who is insanely pure...I can feel out some other creatures too. Please...tell me what Neko is. I promise I won't freak out. To be honest I only freaked out when I realized that even though I'm only part veela, I could still pick up on other creature's....energies... She could only hope that Aydin would be honest with her.

[Aydin Elijah Bennett]

Aydin felt really bad for neglecting Lisbet since the dance but he honestly didn’t feel like it had been that long. Even though he was well aware of the days that were passing, he was so off in his own little world with Neko that it didn’t occur to him that the days were quickly accumulating into weeks. [orange]I’m sure you noticed and I really am sorry. For some reason it just didn’t register that it’s been, well, weeks since the dance. Time just flies sometimes, you know? [/orange] He wasn’t sure if she really knew how he felt because as far as he knew, his Lizzy had never been in love…and if she had been and hadn’t told him, that would kind of upset him.

He couldn’t help but smirk though when she told him about sending her owls to Neko’s room from now on. [orange]Yeah, that would probably get you better results. Nowadays when I’m not holding Quidditch practice or doing prefect duties or in class, I’m with him. [/orange] He said with a happy sigh. He loved being able to spend as many waking moments with Neko as possible, but he would love it even more if he could be with him at all times. But of course, Aydin was heavily involved with everything at the school for some reason so there were many times throughout the day when he just couldn’t see Neko and those were the times when he missed him dearly. Although, all this time spent with Neko was severely impacting the time he was able to spend with Lisbet and for that he felt horrible; she was his best friend but more like his little sister and big brothers shouldn’t ignore their little sisters like that.

Aydin felt a tiny bit bad when she asked what happened between him and Krystyna. Honestly, it wasn’t anything for him, he took her out and that was the end of it. [orange]There’s really not much to tell with her. We went out for a fly, it didn’t really click with us and I didn’t ask her on a second date. I dunno if she was holding out for me or something but come on, you know me Lizzy, did you really expect anything to come out of that? [/orange] He said with a bit of a smirk. Before he met Neko, he was a notorious heartbreaker. It wasn’t like he was trying to go around breaking all those hearts though, he would take a girl out and if they didn’t click in his mind right away he would never call them again…and he really didn’t see any problem with that.

As the two of them stopped and Lisbet asked what happened that night, Aydin was sort of hesitant to tell her everything really. It was a lot to tell, and he wasn’t sure how much of it he could actually tell her, but he decided to give it a shot. [orange]Uh well, we found each other at the dance and well…a we went back to his house and…you didn’t notice I wasn’t around school until the Monday afterwards? [/orange]He asked curiously. Most people, especially teachers had noticed he missed 2 days of classes after the dance without an excuse and he had gotten into a tiny bit of trouble for it, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t talk his way out of. He was so happy when she didn’t freak out on him for saying he was getting married. She actually seemed happy and supportive which was exactly what he was hoping for. [orange]Yeah…married. Did you ever see that happening for me, honestly? [/orange] He asked with a chuckle. He had never been the one to settle down with anyone so falling for someone at all was sort of shocking. [orange]We’re uh…getting married on Valentine’s day actually. I’m not really in charge of any of the planning stuff because we all know I can’t make decisions to save my life…but of course you’re gonna be in the wedding party. What kind of wedding would it be without my little sister there?[/orange] He said, hugging her with one arm.

As Lisbet began to fly around him in circles, he positioned himself on his broom so that he was sitting across it as if it was a wall instead of straddling it. It took a lot of balance to sit like this and it really wasn’t the safest way to sit, but Aydin liked the thrill of it. The next thing she said sort of confused him at first. He knew she was a veela of course but he didn’t know about the whole picking up on other creature’s thing and when she asked what Neko was he bit his lip nervously. He wasn’t sure if it was his place to tell her…but if she already knew something was up and he knew she wouldn’t tell everyone so...he didn’t see TOO much harm in telling her. [orange]You have to swear to the grave that you won’t tell anyone what I’m about to tell you because I’m not sure if I’m even supposed to be telling you. [/orange] He said with a look of seriousness before he began to speak again. [orange]Neko is, well…the son of Death…like, actual Death. He’s half demon which is probably what you’re picking up on. But here’s the thing. The two of us actually, bound our souls together forever and well, in doing that my soul became tainted with the demon in his and I am slowly becoming a demon myself. I don’t know if you can sense it yet because I don’t know how long the transformation is going to take. But he says soon enough, I’ll be just like him. [/orange] He said and took a deep breath. He really hoped him being a demon wouldn’t change anything between him and her because that would really crush him if it did.

[Lisbet Petra Saetre]

Lisbet listened to Aydin's apology and nodded, yeah she knew what it felt like, maybe not to the extent of how he felt but she had a good idea. Yeah...I understand. Apology accepted! She returned his grin with a small smile when he mentioned that he was always with Neko. She felt better knowing that even though she had strong feelings for Aydin, she could still be happy about his happiness.
Ah yes well you must be really busy with him huh? She playfully wagged her eyebrows at him before pulling her hair up into a pony tail to get the stray hairs away from her eyes. So does he treat you good? If he doesn't well he better prepare to meet the wrath of Lisbet. She really cared for Aydin's well being and if he was content with who he was dating then she could be content with being him being content, he was like her older brother after all.
Lisbet laughed when Aydin talked about Krystyna and what had come of it and stuff. Yeah...actually I didn't expect anything to come from that. But still you shouldn't play with a girls heart like that. She knew from experience, she had felt very jealous of the way he had been with Krystyna when they had first met her. She had grown even more so when she had heard that they had gone on a date, but that was all in the past and it wasn't considered new news anymore.
She paused when he asked if she hadn't noticed, of course she had noticed that he was gone for a week. She looked at him and playfully said, My world doesn't revolve around you Aydin...even if you think it does. She giggled and then became serious, Of course I noticed boo...but I thought...that you would come back and spill all the details. After all that was what best friends are supposed to do...right? She smiled at him and pulled out a chocolate frog from her pocket for him. She handed it to him and pulled out another for herself and opened it and bit its head off. Remember when we were kids and we would always try to brutally murder our poor chocolate frogs? Then we'd trade cards like little nerds? She chuckled and bit into her frog again. Sometimes I wish we could go back in time and do that.
She looked at him up and down when he asked if she had ever seen him married, truthfully yeah she had, but he had been married to her. She shook her head and giggled, Well not to a girl...but a guy? Yeah I can see it. So are you going to be the House Husband or is he? She teasingly asked him while wrinkling her nose. She grinned and said, It would be a very dull, boring, scary wedding with no sense of humor whatsoever! She leaned in and gave him an one armed hug before leaning back to balance herself on her broom.
Lisbet chuckled when he sat as if he was sitting on a wall instead of a broom, it reminded her of when they were little and they would drive their mothers crazy by flying high on the brooms they stole from the broom closet and sitting like that looming over their mom's heads.
She used her finger and did a cross motion over her heart and nodded, I swear! You're secret is safe with me. If Aydin was supposed to keep it a secret then she would do everything she could to keep it too. He meant to much to her for her to just go and blab to everyone. As she listened her eyes got wide, A demon??? Well it was plausible after all there were werewolves, leprechauns, veela, and vampires...demons were quite possible. When she heard that their souls were bound together she nodded, So if you two were to break up then you would die...right? She had read about soul binding but didn't know where it had originated from.
She had stopped circling him and sat identical to him only facing him. She swung her legs a little, he would be a demon...she didn't know how she felt about it. So many years of friendship, of love, loyalty and other good things...but he was going to be a demon. Well I haven't sensed it yet.. She closed her eyes and sighed. She wasn't going to lose Aydin yet again! Demon or not! Aydin...I love you. She took his hand as she said this, I'm not going to lose our friendship over this. You have my solemn vow that I will keep your secret safe, and you will always have a close place in my heart. Demon or no. I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. So I think....I'm okay with this. As long as you are okay. I'm okay. She kissed his knuckles and leaned back on her broom. After all...we're family. So I guess Neko is family too. She looked at Aydin and grinned.

[Aydin Elijah Bennett]

It was weird that when Lisbet said something and waggled her eyebrows in a certain way, that Aydin actually blushed. He really wasn’t one to blush very often but when it came to bringing up him being busy with Neko…he was sort of nervous to say something to her. [orange]Um…erm…uhhh…yeah…[/orange] He said, still blushing furiously as she fixed her hair. He didn’t really want to go into any details on that subject and just kinda hoped she would drop it after seeing how nervous he got about. But knowing her, she would probably poke and prod at him until she got some sort of an answer. [orange]Yeah he treats me good so you don’t have to go all ‘wrath of Lisbet’ on him. He treats me way better than I probably deserve after how much of a douche I was to every other person I’ve ever been with in my life. But he’s different…[/orange] He said with a smile, a genuinely happy smile. Lisbet really did know him too well, which was funny since she probably knew from the very beginning that nothing was going to happen with him and that Krystyna girl…hell, Krystyna should have known from the very beginning that nothing was going to happen with him. He did have a reputation with girls…he never settled down. And even though that wasn’t true anymore, she really should have at least known that she had a very low chance of becoming anything other than just a one time thing with him. [orange]Meh, maybe someone should have warned her about what she was getting into. Totally not my fault. [/orange] He said, sticking his tongue out at her teasingly.

Aydin really did feel bad that he hadn’t told Lisbet everything that had been happening, well, as it happened. He meant to do it eventually, but he guessed that he just never got around to it. [orange]Hey, I meant to come find you, and tell you every juicy detail. But you know me, I’m easily distracted. I really am sorry though. [/orange] He said, frowning slightly. Lisbet was, and always would be his best friend so for him not to tell her everything going on in his life…it was almost blasphemy. As she handed him a chocolate frog and began opening and eating hers, he ate his the way he always had, even since he was a kid: opening the box, he grabbed the frog before it jumped away and smooshed it between his hands before eating the frog piece by piece. Even though the frog acted real for a few seconds, he knew it wasn’t real so he felt it was ok to smoosh it to his heart’s content, even though Lisbet always thought it was weird of him. [orange]What do you mean when we were kids? I still brutally murder my frog. [/orange] He said with a grin before eating the rest of the mutilated chocolate pieces. [orange]The cards though…yeah we were nerds. [/orange] He looked at his card for a moment before giving a slight sigh. [orange]Dumbledore again…dude I swear I had like, 100 of these back in the day. Wanna trade? [/orange] He asked jokingly. He glared at her when she asked which of them was going to be the House Husband. He knew she was joking, but he couldn’t help but give her a hard time for it. [orange] Psh, house husband. Neither you jerk. It’s going to be equal and everything. [/orange] He said feigning being mad at her for a split second before he couldn’t hold his laughter in anymore and laughed.

As Aydin told her the secret, he was really hoping she didn’t take it in a bad way. Sure, there weren’t many ways to take that your best friend was engaged to a demon but he hoped she would at least be understanding. She seemed surprised, to say the least, but the first question she asked was one that he really wasn’t sure would come up so soon. [orange]Yeah, if we were to break up or one of us was unfaithful to the other…we would both die. Sort of a heavy deal, but I know I can trust him and he knows he can trust me so I don’t mind it at all. [/orange] He listened to Lisbet as she told him she was ok with everything and promised that she would always be his friend no matter what. [orange]And I love you too Lizzy…I know I can trust you with my secret, which is why you’re the only one I’ve told and probably will be the only person I will tell. You’re my best friend and always will be and I promise I’ll never leave you for any period of time every again. [/orange]He said seriously, giving her a smile as she kissed his knuckles. [orange]Yes, Neko is going to be family to you too now, so you should probably try talking to him or something. I know you’re on the Quidditch team together and everything but I mean like, really talk and get to know each other. I’d really like it…[/orange]He said with a big cheesy smile.
