(Talbott Winger x Reader)

All of your friends have noticed the way you would 'secretly' sneak glances towards your crush, Talbott Winger at the Great Hall while you ate. They've noticed how your face would turn red whenever you'd make eye contact with Talbott then would turn away immediately. You thought you were being secretive enough. But everyone of course knew you fancied Talbott. You didn't like that your confession became the talk of the whole school. Rumors also has it that you and Talbott celebrated Valentines Day together. In which, you did. But your relationship with him had little to no progress. You and Talbott just remained friends, with mutual feelings towards each other. You two were hopelessly stuck in an awkward loop. Sure, you two have had study dates and midnight walks in the courtyard. But they were all in silence with barely any talking. Both of you enjoyed each other's company, you just didn't really know what to talk about and you doubt he does as well. Not that the both of you minded the comfortable silence you shared.

But Talbott just somehow looked so, so attractive today. He's sat in his usual place, at the end of the Great Hall alone. He's never stayed long since it was noisy, he was just there to eat. Although today, you noticed that he wasn't wearing his Ravenclaw robe like he usually does, only the off-white long sleeved shirt and house tie. The boy had rolled up his sleeves, displaying his fine forearms. It was a first seeing him like this. You couldn't take your eyes off of him. He was simply a gorgeous creation that you lucked out on a few dates with.

“Hello? Earth to (Y/N)!” Tonks mused, waving her hand in front of your face. You were too preoccupied with the thoughts of your crush that you flinched when noticing Tonks's moving hand.

“Hmm, what's got our little curse-breaker so distracted?” Bill teased, elbowing your side playfully with a smirk. You loved Bill to pieces, he was like a brother to you. But you especially hated it when he teased you like this.

“Uh, I was uh- Nothing!” You panicked, trying to cover up your mindlessness. Your face turned red with embarassment, but were confused on why your friends were laughing at you all of a sudden.

“Let's see now,” Charlie started, before faking a gasp, “Could it be that our (Y/N) is staring at her boyfriend?”

“No!” You lied quickly, getting fidgety in your seat. You were getting flustered, and that alone was amusing to your friends.

“Isn’t Talbott dressed a little bit like me today? Doesn’t he look especially brilliant just because of that reason, (Y/N)?” Bill teased, wiggling his eyebrows to tick you off further.

“Quit it, Bill! I was not looking at him. Also, he looks ten times better than how you would normally dress.” You retorted, earning a loud, dramatic gasp from Bill. His hand was placed over his heart as if he was hurt, calling you a ‘bully’.

“So you actually were looking at Winger!” Tonks excitedly exclaimed. You furiously denied, but you knew too well that they could see right through you.

“C'mon (Y/N), you're such a bad liar.” Huffed Charlie, playfully headlocking you with his arms then ruffling your hair. “Why don't you... go sit with your boyfriend today. You’re done with dinner anyways.”

“No no no no, stop!” You got out of Charlie's hold before pouting. You looked down at the table as you fixed your hair, wanting to look presentable in case Talbott was looking. “He's... not my boyfriend...” You trailed off. "... Yet.”

“Wotchers, (Y/N)! Well maybe he will be if you sit with him right now!” Tonks encouraged, urging you to stand up. The Weasley brothers agreed, stifling a laugh at your nervousness. They thought that you had no reason to be nervous, their feelings were obviously mutual after all.

You knew Talbott enjoyed being alone though, that's what's stopped you. You often felt like you were already suffocating him with your presence enough. You’d even sometimes feel guilty for ruining his ‘flying solo’ experience. You knew he liked you back, but maybe not as much as you liked him. Space is good? Right?

“I don't know what you’re thinking (Y/N), but you're probably just overthinking it. You know that he likes you too. Just go!” Bill urged, getting you up on your feet then pushing you towards Talbott's direction.

You didn't even have time to think. You were shocked that your friends just kicked you out of their table like that. You glanced back at your friends who gave you a thumbs up with a teasing smirk, mouthing you to ‘go get some’. You pouted, making the ‘hmph’ sound before you shakily made your way to Talbott's table. Talbott, as if knowing what was going on turned his head towards you and locked eyes with you. A genuine smile slowly made its way across his face and into his eyes. The smile only he gave you and no one else. Your stomach suddenly filled with butterflies, you felt as if you could physically melt under his gaze at any moment.

“(Y/N).” Talbott said sweetly, confused but happy that you came to see him at the same time. He gently tugged you to sit next to him. You’ve noticed that he only uses a particular soft tone of voice on you, the one that sounded like the sweetest honey to your ears. He wouldn't use it on anyone else, just you. And it made you really happy. He just knows how to make you a pile of goo. Talbott, however never really noticed the change in his tone. It was a subconscious change, something that happened normally when you were around him.

“Hi.” You greeted shyly, looking away for a second from his sharp, curious eyes. “My friends kicked me out of their table.” You explained, answering his questioning gaze. The two of you looked over to your friend's table. Your friends who were staring waved rather enthusiastically and made kissing gestures.

Embarrassed, you reached up to your crush’s face and gently turned his head so that his gaze was once more fixated to you. The bird boy reddened at the gesture though looked a bit disappointed when you pulled your hand away. You've noticed that your crush had a habit of rubbing the back of his neck whenever he felt nervous or embarrassed. You two never really did show public displays of affection with Talbott being a private person and you just being too nervous to make a move. Although Talbott on the other hand really didn't mind when you touched him. It didn't bother him as much as he'd thought the first time you touched him. He'd always flinch away when other people tried to touch him but it was different when you did. He wouldn't tell you, but he enjoyed your touches very much and they often reminded him of his mother's but a little bit different, of course. “Where did your robe go?” You questioned curiously, your softly fingertips grazing his arm which left goosebumps on his skin. You stifled a giggle, enjoying watching him become flustered.

“Uh- I didn't notice I left it in my dormitory until I was in front of the Great Hall. I figured I'd just have dinner without it since I was too lazy to fetch it.” Talbott explained, his voice a little shaky from your touch. You don't touch him often, it still shocked him a bit when you do. But he was always adjusting to something new when he was with you. He enjoyed it. He enjoyed being with you.

You raised an eyebrow, “And what's gotten you so distracted that you forgot about something so important?” The bird boy hummed at your teasing, a shy smile creeping up his face. You, he was thinking of you. He realized that you've been on his mind a lot for quite some time now. He was always wondering how to escalate the relationship further like he’d read in those muggle romance novels he found in the library. In his defense, he'd only read it for literaturary purposes before he'd even met you and found it to be a load of bullcrap. But he's been looking at it with a different perspective now that you were seeing each other.

“You.” Talbott finally admitted after a few minutes of silence. He looked the other way to cover up his embarrassed face. You blushed, of course Talbott had always been the straightforward type of guy but seeing him being hesitant like this was weird, in a cute way that is. But it still caught you off guard, he was thinking of you? “What about me?” You inquired in a teasing tone, testing his limits. It was adorable seeing him like this.

“You- you're so beautiful. And you like me back? Wow, I must have drank Liquid Luck or something.” Talbott mumbled quietly, mostly to himself. You almost didn't catch that with how quiet he was being. You blushed, Talbott was a straightforward type of guy and seeing him all hesitant was weirdly cute. You could really get used to this. “Hm, I’d like to think that I'm the lucky one. You're quite the eye candy.” You replied cheekily, earning a small sound of denial from Talbott.

“No, that’s you. Stop reversing the compliments that I give you on me.” He complained rather cutely, nervously fidgeting and avoiding your eyes. You giggled, and after awhile silence fell upon the both of you. It was always like this. Not that you minded.

“Talbott, I have a question.” You spoke up hesitantly, breaking the comfortable silence that went on for a few minutes.

“Anything.” The boy answered simply, his sharp but shy gaze on you again. You heart fluttered. Talbott really made it seem like you were the only person in the room and you loved that.

“Do I um, bother you? Would you prefer if I left you alone to do your own thing?” You asked nervously. You've been thinking about this matter for a while now and you were prepared for whatever answer but Talbott looked shocked at your question. He scanned your face to see if you were serious and unfortunately for him, you were.

“No. Of course you don't. No.” Talbott frowned, sighing. It honestly hurt your heart seeing him frown like this. It made you sad that you were that caused him to look so disappointed. "Don't you remember what I told you after you helped me look for my mother's necklace?" Talbott's much bigger hands slowly found yours, startling you quite a bit, hesitantly lacing them together under the table. It didn't feel like that time after your failed first date, when the two of you were stargazing or when you went on your Valentines day date. You've never held hands like this before. It felt more intimate. It felt more secure. "I said that I enjoyed things more with you than I would've been alone. Remember that."

Indeed he did say that, you do recall it although it never really crossed your mind until now. “I know I don't say much.” Talbott paused, “It's because I'm nervous that I'll say something wrong that'll make you leave me.” He admitted, his thumb softly stroking yours as you held hands

“Talbott, I'd never leave you.” You pouted, squeezing his hand. “I felt the exact same way too though.”

“I don't know if I can ever get myself to leave you, (Y/N). You're my favorite person.” Talbott in a low voice, enjoying the feeling of your hands entertwined.

“And you are mine.” You shyly said, leaning a bit more to his side. Talbott hummed quietly in contentment, smiling to himself. “I know this may sound selfish but... will you spend a little more time with me, please?” Talbott nervously asked, after thinking about it for a few minutes.

The question honestly caught you off guard, even though he had already reassured you that he enjoyed being with you. But you didn't know that he enjoyed your presence that much to ask. A fond smile made its way to your face, “Talbott, of course I will. I enjoy doing things with you too, you know?”

The two of you took a moment to process what was going on together before laughing. You pressed a kiss on his cheek. “Now we're even.” You whispered, shyly looking away. You flushed at the memory of Talbott kissing your cheek on your Valentines day date with him.

Your daze was cut off when you heard loud cheering on the other side of the dining hall. You and Talbott shared a look when you saw your friends clapping and whistling for you. The both of you had forgotten that you were still in the Great Hall. You two were just so entranced with each other that you didn't notice your surroundings. Your friends somehow managed to catch the attention of everyone in the Great Hall because now everyone's attention on you and Talbott. You didn't know if you could blush any harder, mostly from frustration. Your friends saw you kiss Talbott and who knows who else? Will there be more rumors? Merlin, you know your friend would never let you forget this.

Talbott, as he could read your thoughts, stood up and gently pulled you up with him, “I don't like it here, too noisy.” You nodded, your worries melting away when he reassuringly squeezed your hand. All the attention was uncomfortable for the two of you, but you figured it was worse on Talbott since he was a private person and preferred not being seen. With your hands still entertwined, Talbott led you out of the Dining Hall and to one of his hiding spots where no one else could further disturb your time together. It didn’t matter anymore how slow your relationship with Talbott was progressing, you just enjoyed being with him.
