Jeremy couldn't help but laugh a little at that. He looked over at Connor, flashing him a smile, his fingers crept across the desk to touch Connor's. "I'm starting to, yeah," Jeremy admitted, for once not caring about the violent shade of pink his cheeks had just turned. It seemed like it had been hard for Connor to say that and now it was Jeremy's turn to comfort his new friend. His hand reach out nervously to pat Connor's back, letting the Slytherin know he was with him on this one. "So, what do we do, then?" Jeremy asked, "People are bound to find out about that. Might be a big school, but word travels pretty fast. Or so I've heard." He chuckled softly at that. There was the rumour mill in action.

Laughing. Laughter was good, right? A small smile crept up on his face in return to Jeremy's. He glanced down to their hands, then back up to the Huffle boy's face.
" Yeah? " Connor said rhetorically, thinking about how cute Jeremy looked when he blushed. This thought made his own cheeks turn a pale pink, mostly because he hadn't voiced it. He was sure if he had told this to Jeremy, his cheeks would be just as pink as his. Connor nodded slightly as he felt the Hufflepuff's hand pat him on the back. ' So what do we do, then? ' Connor wasn't really sure as he looked back up and locked eyes with Jeremy. He laughed slightly as the word traveling pretty fast around Hogwarts. He felt sure of that, it had been the same way at his previous school. " I dunno.. take things slow? I haven't really.. done this before. " He said, motioning to the two of them with his free hand. " What do you think? "

"I haven't really done this before either," Jeremy confessed with a playful grin, "I'm not really sure how this goes. Slow, I guess." It was just then that Jeremy realized this was kind of official and all the doubts and insecurities came rushing back. It was clear that Connor liked him, and even from the short time they'd talked, Jeremy felt a strange but strong connection to the boy already. But what if people found out before they were ready to tell them? What if it got around and the same thing happened here as it had at his last school? Would Jeremy pick up and leave again like before and just leave poor Connor there to deal with it? He couldn't do that to him. But what if? What if was a horrible question and it was making Jeremy rethink this plan that had suddenly come into view.
"What happens if people find out before we want them to?" Jeremy asked the boy in a whisper, repeating his thoughts out loud to be heard.

Connor grinned slightly as he glanced over at the Hufflepuff. He nodded as Jeremy went on, telling him how he wasn't exactly experienced either. It was somewhat a relief and also somewhat a dissapointment, but he didn't let it show. It was a relief because he knew that Jeremy wasn't too experienced or anything, but he felt slightly dissapointment because it seemed as if neither of them really knew what do to in this situation. I guess we'll get through it together. This thought made Connor smile slightly.
Connor nodded again, " Slow is good. " He could see something different in Jeremy, a look perhaps, fear? He couldn't tell. Then with the Huffle's next statement, Connor wasn't to sure how to respond. He thought for a second or two, keeping his eyes on Jeremy's as he did so. " They don't have to find out until we're ready. We won't let them. " He offered the older boy a smile.

Jeremy sighed, looking down and wanting to believe Connor but this was how it started before. He came out, was promised that nothing would be said and a week later, the entire school knew. Maybe this had been a mistake. Maybe telling Connor was a bad idea. But the second he looked up and met Connor's smile, Jeremy smiled back at him and he realized that everything was going to be OK. "Yeah," Jeremy agreed, "We'll let them know when we're ready."

Connor nodded, his hair swinging forward slightly into his eyes as he looked down. His lips twitched up slightly into a smile as he glanced back to Jeremy. " That sounds.. good. Great. " He said, wanting Jeremy to regain his playfulness, his grin that made Connor feel... like he was floating on clouds. Connor knew it sounded ridiculous to feel connected to someone like that but he couldn't help himself. He brushed his hand against Jeremy's again, feeling slightly more confident now that the Huffle had lost some of his insecurity, or so it seemed.
