Change of Scenery

Jared wasn't happy in the least about being back at school, and he was sure it was showing on his less-then-enthusiastic expression. Not having the least desire of staying in the dorms to do absolutely nothing, he found himself aimlessly wandering the empty hallways of the castle. Stuffing his large hands into his jean pockets, he was glad that for once he didn't have his school robes weighing him down. Just a couple more months and you'll be free.. If he kept reminding himself of that, it was enough to push him through his days with at least some enthusiasm. Besides, not everything about being back at school was terrible, he supposed.

Eventually making his way up to the sixth floor and finding nothing of interest, he took his first right turn and let himself into the first room he came across. His brow rose a bit when he noticed he'd brought himself into the Armour Room, and he stopped in the doorway, considering turning around and leaving. Yet when he realized he didn't have many other floors to explore and less then a few options left unless he decided to go outside, which he was quickly dismissing. Wandering forward once more he allowed his gaze to shift around the room, taking in the different sets of Armour around him. Now he understood why no one ever really came up to these parts.. the room was less then exciting. But he had nothing else to do, so he continued to stroll along at his carefree pace. Eventually he spotted a couch in the corner of the wide room near a closed window. Heading toward it, he decided maybe it would be best to just let his mind go else where.

Usually when he was bored, he went looking for some entertainment - such as people. But for some reason, he wasn't in the mood to socialize. Being alone seemed much more appealing to him. Tossing himself down on the couch, his body took up a lounging position as he turned his eyes out of the crystal clear window. Well, what an exciting day.

Blake was bored out of her mind and somehow she managed to be pestered with even her own thoughts. Walking around the school was certainly not helping her, but as long as she avoided people who she was sure to piss her off, she found it advantageous. Sighing, she pulled her hair to the right as she made her way through the floors percariously, trying to find something that could entertain her for the time being. Whether it be food or otherwise, she needed something beyond her thoughts. She could only imagine how obnoxious she must seem with the state she was in, but she never let it got to her. If people could not handle her like this then they could go jump off a cliff. Puffng out her cheeks, she realized she was on the sixth floor and she shrugged. There was bound to be something... Right? Walking down a hall and pushing open the first door, she frowned as she noticed which room it was. Armour? Not her thing and she never planned on it being, but maybe looking at it would get her mind off the tedious things that have been on her mind. Closing the door beind her, she spotted someone in the corner and all too soon did her lips curl up in a mischeivious smirk. Damn was it an instant thing that he did that to her. "My my, what are you doing in such a boring place playboy?" she stated as she furthered her way into the room.

Jared continued to keep his gaze turned out toward the window. He wasn't quite sure why he was feeling so... he didn't even have a word for it. It wasn't sad, or depressed.. more along the lines of subdued. He knew he'd shake himself out of the mood eventually, he was just hoping that the eventually ended up coming quite soon. It wasn't normal for him to be acting in the way he was, and it certainly wasn't enjoyable. Running a hand through his tousled hair, he found himself shrugging to himself. With no reason to be acting the way he was, then there was certainly no reason he couldn't snap out of it.

Turning his head in surprise toward the direction of the door, he blinked a few times when he realized that he was suddenly not alone. What were the chances of that, really? He'd picked one of the most secluded and one of the most boring rooms in the castle, and someone else had wandered up here to join? He was tempted to groan as he turned his attention back out of the window, hoping that the person might get the hint that he wasn't in the mood to talk. Yet he felt the telltale signs that he was being watched - the tingling up his spine, the hairs on his arms raising a fraction - and so with a sigh, he angled his head back in the direction of the door. Only now, the person was much closer to him, making it easier for him to see who it was. The first thing he noticed was the familiar, mischievous smirk before his eyes looked up higher, meeting her eyes. In a moment his own smirk appeared, much to his delight. All it took was seeing Blake and his previous mood was already beginning to evaporate? He tried not to think about it all too much.

"Waiting for someone like you to come rescue me." He replied with a chuckle, shifting his position so he was sitting upright once more. He tilted his head to the side as he gave her a once over, his brows raising as he met her eyes again. "I could be saying the same to you though." He added, wondering what exactly had brought her up here. This certainly didn't seem like her forte of places.

Blake really must have found herself bored to even attempt to walk into the Armour room. Let alone walk in and not turn back and leave. Yeah, she really was bored and she was really looking for something to entertan her. Sure she could easily just go find some horny guy and take him to a private room and sex him, but she was not in the mood to search. Rather, she was just up for a simple walk and perhaps jack a room and try to keep busy, but walking into the Armour room she really did not think she would see anyone in there, though pleasantly surprised that she saw Jared. Of course before he even looked at her, she caught hint of his not so cocky attitude. He seemed so... Blah. In the vague sense that his normal personality wasn't there, no, not until looked at her and his familiar smirk on his lips as well. There he was. She could not help but leave the smirk on her lips as she placed her hands on her hips and listen to him. "You need saving? Must be my lucky day that I get to help out a god. Of course only a fabulous goddess like myself can help you," she merely teased, though actually beaming on the inside, before winking. "You could. Certainly not my first choice on a place to go, but it is a nice get-away that's for sure," she chuckled as she shrugged her shoulder and looked out the window before looking at Jared once again, that mischeivious glint in her eye.

Jared was well aware that Blake had caught him in one of his not so finer moments, but he was actually grateful that she'd decided not to comment on it. Perhaps it was because she'd only seen a few moments of it before he'd bounced back to his old self, yet either way he was glad she hadn't said anything. He really didn't feel the need to explain himself. He watched her in amusement as she continued to smirk on him before settling her hands on either of her hips, much in the way of attitude he'd grown to like about her. He couldn't help but laugh outright when he heard her words. She was unpredictable, this one. But it was just part of the growing list of things he rather enjoyed about her. Wow, how weird it was to say that...

"God and goddess, huh? Sounds like the perfect match." He said jokingly, winking up at her in response to her teasing. He shrugged when she spoke of the room they'd both decided to occupy. "Yep, good if you don't want anyone to find you. Yet I'm telling you, you always end up finding me either way.. just can't get enough." He taunted teasingly, much like he always did. It was odd, how just talking to Blake like this could make him feel better. But he was just going to toss it into the pile of other things he should think about but probably wouldn't. He followed her gaze out of the window before looking back to her, noticing that she was still standing, hands on hips. He chuckled. "Come keep me company. It's rather lonely over here." He joked, patting the couch on the side of him.

Blake hardly liked to bother people with asking people what was wrong. If Jared truly needed to talk, which seemed rather odd to her, but if need be, she was there, whether he knew it or not. Of course the mood depleated quickly, but nevertheless. She had grown to actually... Erm... Like him, and it was odd. Tossing it aside, hardly thinking she would think about it again she gave him a smug look. "Damn straight. Nothing better than sexy beings like us. Almost unnatural to think we are human," she teased back. She chuckled and scratched her head in a questioning yet sheepish way, though only acting. "Did you put a charm on me? I normally don't end up finding someone quite as often as you. Not that I am complaining. Fabulous eye candy," she taunted with a wink. After looking out the window and bringing her alluring glance to Jared, she blew him a kiss before taking up his offer and sitting next to him. "How sad that you are lonely. Got the best company in your midst," she stated cockily, placing her arse down on the couch next to him.

Jared had practically expected the smug look that came onto her face once she'd heard his words, and he couldn't help but smirk in amusement. It was practically a natural reaction whenever he heard something even slightly amusing to him, which he heard a lot when it came to Blake. He knew there was some other feelings masked in the mix of his amusement contributing to the fact of why he was always smiling around Blake, but he refused to think about it farther. One, because actually being tied down to liking one girl just wasn't in his comfort zone and two, because she just wasn't the type of girl or it, either. He wasn't sure how many times the thoughts had tried to enter his brain but he refused to let them get very far. Why give himself a headache over-analyzing things that didn't even need to be made into a big deal in the first place? With those thoughts in mind, he was generally able to control his thoughts after that.

"I honestly think we should fall under a different category, that's how sexy we truly are." He continued the joke with a roll of his eyes, smirking as he did so. She wasn't wrong by saying that they were both undeniably sexy, and he couldn't help but laugh at how conceited they both really were. Yet it worked for them, so why not flaunt it when you had every reason to? "No charm at all, besides my natural one." He honestly had to laugh at how corny that had sounded, but it was true. "You shouldn't complain. You should be blessed that you get to be in my presence quite so much." He added, winking back in response. His brow slowly rose to the point where it was disappearing behind his shaggy hair when she blew me a kiss before situating herself down in the seat next to me. He casually tossed his arm across the back of the couch, not to the point where he was touching her, but his arm was resting easily behind her. "It's very sad, actually. And I couldn't have asked for better company." He replied with a taunting smirk. "That is, if you plan on doing something to make me not change my mind about that." He was interested to see what she would do in order to achieve the "best company" award. With her, anything could be expected.

Blake was easily avoiding the thoughts anything that dealt with her thoughts of... well otherwise than a simple relationship with Jared. Being tied down was certainly not in her plans any time soon. Rather, she did not think it would be a part of her life ever. So alas, nothing to ever think about right? No need to cause a headache when she could simply live her life with one night stands and friends with benefits. Sounds ten times better than being stuck with one person for a while, though Jared wouldn't be too bad of course. Shaking her head gently at herself, she pushed the thoughts away and smirked at the cocky male. Yes, there were underlined reasons as she always seemed to have a smirk, but again, nothing worth looking into when she knew full well that he was probably not the one to be tied down like her. So bye bye thoughts, or at least for the time being keep them from surfacing.

She laughed, amused. "I don't think they have a category for us, but we could certainly make up one," she easily joked back and smirked. Beauty was something she loved, and she was not going to keep others from knowing how highly she thought of herself. But she had to give props to Jared. He had virtually been the only one she had ever really spoke highly of and actually sort of meant it. But it worked for both of them and their massive vanity. She laughed at his response and how corny it was before rolling her eyes with a playful grin. "Natural one? Didn't know you had one," she winked in a teasing manner, "Hm, I could say that I am lucky, but then that means I am like everyone else, and I don't like being in with the crowd, but I can say I am lucky to fuck you more often then some," she added with a seductive yet playful kiss.

After sitting, feeling his arm make the slightest indent in the back of the couch behind her, she smirked and turned her head to him and tilted her head with a rather smug look. "Damn straight palyboy, not going to get better than me," she replied with a teasing smirk, "Of course I do. You know better than that. You are always entertained every time you see me, so no doubt you will be entertained again. But how to entertain you is the question," she pondered with a massive mischeivious tone in her voice and she gave him another wink and licked the corner of her lips and along her bottom lip, thinking. He was a hard one to please, or so she was told, but that did not mean she could not give him something to be entertained by. She chuckled.

Jared shrugged his shoulders when she said that they didn't have a category for people like them. "We'll definitely have to make one, then. Only we pass the standards needed for it, though." He said with another cocky grin making it's way onto his lips without hesitation. He realized how corny he sounded, but put together they both sounded like the most concieted set of people to have ever been placed on this earth. He loved that he'd found a girl that thought of herself just about as highly as he thought of himself. It was great, not having to watch what he said because he didn't feel the need to listen to someone drone on about how his self confidence had to be toned down. Blake just continued to boost his already sky-high ego, and he didn't let the favor go unreturned. When he was with her, it was nothing but continuous fun and games.. his favorite. He rolled his eyes slightly when she insulted his "natural charm." "Of course you knew I had one, what do you think has been making you come back all this time?" He said in reply with a smirk. Her next set of words were so blunt, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. His laugh was soon being cut off by an unexpected yet welcomed kiss, and he kissed her back before she was leaning away. "Don't you worry about a thing.. you're far, far away from the crowd." He assured her.

Once again, he was seeing the smug look coming across her face, but he decided not to comment on it. "Oh, I know I'm not. No need to try and assure me." He said with a mocking smirk on his handsome face. "And I do know better then that.. I'm just waiting on you to prove it." He added, the smirk developing into a devious grin. "You know I'm not easily pleased." He reminded her with a wink as he listened to her talking. He was enjoying how mischievious she was sounding, and he knew she wouldn't have any trouble at all with coming up with something in order to entertain him. She'd never failed yet, and while he knew there was a first time for everything, he was hoping that first itme wouldn't end up being today. "Surprise me." He finally said, watching as she licked her bottom lip in thought.

This ought to be interesting.

Blake lifted her brow slightly and gave the slightest shrug. "Oh of course. No one is worthy enough to join us, or even be like us for that matter," she retorted back with that same cocky tone and look on her face. She was sure that the way they acted around each other would be more than obnoxious, not that she cared. She hated people who disliked people like her and Jared. Conceited, vain, and cocky. She found no point in moping. In being down on herself. What was fun about doing that? Let alone making those who actually think highly of themselves, feel bad or try to knock them down a few notches. Nope, she took the opposite approach, clearly. Building that already sky high ego of Jared's was easy, and fabulous thing was... He did it right back. As he made his comment, she opened her mouth but closed it quickly after. No need to be a complete bitch to him. Even with her hormones, she had to try at least with him.

"You got a point there. It has to be that oh so delcious natural charm of you luring me to you everytime you seem alone. Though I seem to be attracted to you no matter the circumstances. What ever will I do without you next year," she sighed dramatically, though actually quite curious as to what he had to say about that. She laughed in response with him after her comment. Well she could have said it a little differently, but she was sure it would not have gotten quite the same reaction had she said a little nicer. Not often did he burst out laughing, figure a moment to relish amongst... friends. Of course she did cut him off with a kiss, and one he was willing to oblige for before she pulled away. "That so? Must have to take your word for it, seeing as you are so insightful on those kinds of things," she grinned and ran her hand through her hair.

She rolled her eyes in good manner at his mockery. "Good to know I don't need to put any more effort into telling you," she replied with a permanent smirk on her lips. "So I have heard playboy," she winked to him in return and let out a breath as she thought. His words of 'surprise me' lingered in her mind whilst she thought. Placing her slender finger against her lips and running it across the soft skin, she snapped her fingers soon after. "How about we play that special little game that got us where we are now? I'm sure you remeber... Truth or dare," she mused with that seductive tone in her voice. It was an odd memory, but one she quite enjoyed, plus it made it that much better starting out the school year.

Jared couldn't help the grin that formed when he heard her statement, unsure if it was sarcastic or not. The last part of her sentence did leave him thinking for a moment, which surprised him. Whether she'd been actually serious or not, he still planned on providing an answer for her. "You'll miss me, I know it. A huge gaping hole in your heart." He decided to exaggerate along with her, but it wasn't long before he shook his head slightly. "Nah, maybe not that. But I do expect you to admit that you'll miss me, because that I am sure of." He said with a decided nod. He wouldn't admit it to her just yet because he knew a smug smirk would appear on her face, but he knew he would probably miss her too. Just because he'd be leaving Hogwarts didn't mean he wouldn't get to see her, but it wouldn't be as often. And once her baby was born.. he knew the time they had together now, should be something they made the best of. He never really had been one to worry about the future though, and he didn't plan on starting with that now. "Of course you have to take my word for it. I don't speak anything but the truth." He stated seriously. For it was true. He never lied.

He crossed his arms loosely over his chest, quite enjoying the smirk that seemed to be permantently on her alluring lips. "I'm just here to help." He replied with a small shrug to her first statement, though he gave her a smirk in return when he heard her second statement. "So you've heard.. and experienced." He reminded her with yet another wink, clearly having fun with the entire situation. He watched as the thoughtful expression came and went, and he found himself chuckling when he finally heard her suggestion. "Oh, trust me.. I remember." He replied, before giving her a devious grin. "Dare." How could he even hesitate when she was asking him in such a sexy way? It was almost impossible.

Blake couldn't help but feel the urge to bite her tongue after her comment. Not like she had a hard time expressing herself, but when it came to the actual thought that she would miss him... it made her feel... wierd. She grinned and lifted her brow at his comment. "Big gaping hole? Nah, I wouldn't have a heart if you left," she rolled her eyes, mostly at herself but chuckled and gave him a nod. Sure it will be massively wierd admitting it to him, because in a sense she felt like it would give him that hint that she actually liked him and that possibility to let him think that he was going to go soft on him. She shrugged inwardly and sighed, realizing that it had been a moment or two and she hadn't answered him. "You are so sure of yourself there playboy. But if you must know, I will miss you, but you can't say you won't miss me," she stated confidently, though waiting for the familiar smirk to linger on his lips from him knowing he had her, in a odd sense.

She looked at him skeptically at his next statement though. The seriousness was welcome, but not something she saw all that often. "Never lie huh? And here I thought trustworthiness was dead," she joked to herself, but surprised he said it nonetheless. As he folded his arms and made his comment, she felt her smirk grow. "Here to help? Hm, I will surely have to make the best of it then," she mused with a playful wink. "And something I would experience over again," she assured with her seductive glance. She heard him chuckle, and she did so herself as she placed her arms beneath her breasts casually. "Good to know I wasn't the only one that enjoyed that," she teased before hearing his response. "Dare? Not a surprise," she remarked as she ran a finger across her soft bottom lip as she thought. Couldn't get too dirty right of the bat, but she had one in mind that she couldn't go without having it done. "I dare you too... Streak across the entire sixth floor. Give all those fawning girls a little looks see, and those alredy jealous boys more of reason to be jealous," she winked with a mischevious grin. Beyond that, she was really in the mood to see his fabulous body at that.
