Another small giggle escaped him when she kissed him and he wasn't sure why it had made him so nervous. It was just a little kiss on his cheek, right?
He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do while he waited for her to 'slip into something more comfortable'. The only thing he could do was try not to think of all of the movies where the girl said that to the guy.
Hoping to distract himself, he hopped off the desk and started wandering around, finally resorting to making funny words out of the type. He thought about the article he was supposed to have written for this issue, and wondered if he should write it quickly, but didn't think he could pull it together in time. It would be another thing he would have to apologize for.

After a good long while, she hadn't made any progress with the gems. She'd managed to get two more off in the time she'd disappeared, but that still left a good fifteen or so stuck on her. The spell Celina used was a good one indeed, it really was insuring that they didn't fall off. Hugging her arms around herself, she ran her hands up and down her bare arms, wishing she had grabbed a sweatshirt to put over her powder blue tank, it would've at least kept her warm. Why didn't she completely think things through? At least she had thought to have pajama pants and not shorts that night, and perhaps the cotton blue and white striped bottoms would do well to keep her warmer.
Walking back down the hall, she frowned to herself about the gems. How exactly was she supposed to get them off? The blonde didn't want them on all night, and then the thought occured to her, what if they were stuck on forever? That just wouldn't do.
Arriving at the door, she peeked in, afraid that the room would be empty, and she was surprised to see the boy still in there. Smiling, she just stood there and watched him for a moment before sneaking in as quietly as she could. Felicity knew how well the boy jumped when he was startled, but she kind of liked that. Really, she liked how he relaxed afterwards because normally he had his arms around her by then.
Slipping up behind him, she wasn't sure if he knew she was there, but she gently wrapped her arms around him, thinking if maybe she should ask. She still wouldn't be all that sure about it if he agreed, but she trusted him and knew he could probably do it.

Drew had been humming along with the wireless as he played with the type and hadn't heard her come back in. He jumped a little when she wrapped her arms around him, but quickly relaxed into a grin, swaying a little to the song that was playing as he grabbed her back from behind.
"So you comfortable now?" he asked, looking at her from over his shoulder, pleased to see she hadn't gone the route those girls did in the movies.

Following his swaying Felicity smiled and leaned against him more as she buried her face into his sweatshirt, just enjoying the way he smelled and the fact that he'd grabbed her back. Nodding against him in answer to his question, as she didn't want to pull away just yet and nodding worked to answer him, she held onto him for a moment longer before pulling back and smiling carefully.
"Drew," she said nervously. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but she really didn't like the idea of a wand being pointed at her. "Do you know any unsticking charms?" Peeling them off by themselves worked, but it was a bit painful and it took a bit of time to do, as she'd already noticed with taking the stones off with her fingers.
Letting go and stepping around him, she lifted her shirt's hem a little to once more reveal the sparkling red gems. "Because I can't get these off very well, and Celina ued a sticking charm on them to get them so they would stay on."

Drew turned to look at her, hearing the concern in her voice. A nervous grin crossed his face when she once again revealed the jewels on her belly, and while he was sure he could unstick them fairly easily, he wasn't too keen on pointing a wand at her. Plus, just looking at the sparkles there made the butterflies in his stomach do all sorts of neat tricks.
"But I like them..." he said, daring to poke lightly at the stones with his finger.

"I like them, too," she giggled in response to his claim. And although he touched the stones lightly, she still felt it well enough to giggle a bit more and to take a half a step back. "But I kind of would like for them to come off at some time. Having them on for the rest of time would be a bit silly. I mean, imagine me walking around in ten or twenty years with these things still stuck on my belly." Of course, she knew that eventually the charm would wear off, but how long would it take for that to happen? Celina wasn't going to be turned to in request to get them off, as per what happened last time the girl had pointed a wand at her, and since her mum was nowhere near, Drew was the next option she really had. Other than going to the nurse, which Felicity didn't know how she'd respond to such a request.

"I can do it," he said, deciding he couldn't pull the wolf act off for much longer anyway. He was a little nervous giving the okay to try. Not only would he be pointing his wand at her, but he'd probably have to get pretty close to do it right. Well, his aim ws good and realizticaly, he knew he could unstick tose gems from across the room, but yeah... he really felt it would be better to do it at a much closer range. As she took a step back, he shadowed it and closed the gap.
"D... do you know what she used to stick them on?" he asked, giving the stones another gentle poke.

Laughing, she stepped back again. He knew she was ticklish, and she figured he was probably doing it on purpose, but she wasn't going to stop him. The poking made her a bit nervous, just the thought of his fingers possibly touching her skin if he happened to miss the stones he was after made her think giddly. Clutching at the hem of her shirt a bit more, she smiled at him, he'd agreed to help her and that was what she was hoping for.
"I don't remember the exact spell, but I know it was one of those common household ones. My mum uses it all the time," she replied with a giggly voice as she took yet another step back. No, she wasn't actually trying to get away from him, but it was kind of fun to her that he was pursuing. "It's not one that's made to last forever, but it's one of the ones that's guaranteed to last a while."
Her Ravenclaw friend was the smart one with charms and such, Felicity figured if she didn't remember spell names and such, it just meant she didn't have to learn it. Perhaps in years to come when she was better able with a wand.
Stopping short after taking yet another step back, due to a desk behind her, she smiled up at the Eagle, admiring the colouring of his eyes. Yes, she really liked those eyes, and she trusted the boy they belonged to, the reason she was willing to let him point his wand at her. "So, will you?" she questioned, hoping he would help take the gems off.

He liked hearing her laugh and it made him feel a little bolder and he fell back into the game of cat and mouse. Drew inched closer as she backed up, grinning as she bumped up against the desk. He took one more step and put himself right up against her, resting his hands on the desk and locking her in.
"As you wish..." he said softly, still grinning at her.

With him up against her like he was, she couldn't help but blush a little; and even more at his words, especially since she knew of the meaning behind them in the movie. Grinning, she let go of her shirt hem and instead slowly wrapped her arms up around his neck. The chase was up for the moment, he'd caught her, and she had been willing to play bait.
Tilting her head back, she let her eyes fall to his for a moment, just before pullng him down toward her enough that she could reach him. Standing up a bit straighter, she gently placed her lips on the end of his nose, before pulling back and smiling widely. "Then I wish to have the gems removed by the adorable Ravenclaw I have ahold of."

Again, her kiss surprised him, this time because he thought she was going in for the real thing. Part of him was disappointed she had missed the mark, a second part was a littel frustrated because he had been trying to work up his nerve to kiss her first and now it was gone. And a third part was relieved he still had a chance at it... if he could get the courage up again.
He gently placed his hands on her waist and slowly pushed up the hem of her shirt just high enough to see the gems around her belly button again. Just that simple motion felt incredibly wicked on his part and he could only imagine what Felicity's brothers would do to him if they had seen it. He locked his eyes onto hers and smiled nervously, hoping she trusted him well enough to know he wouldn't overstep his bounds.
"You sure?" he asked, still concerned about pointing his wand at her.

Nodding, she continued to smile at him. Yes, she had actually thought of kissing him, but hadn't thought it was right to do, therefore the result of the kiss on the nose. They were friends at the moment, and they technically had a date set, but he'd told her he wanted to move slow. Kissing wasn't slow, was it? And she didn't want to make him upset with her by doing what he didn't want her to do.
"Yes, I'm sure," she returned. The blond trusted him, she knew he was skilled with wandwork, so he'd be able to take them off. And while her stomach was busy with the latest release of butterflies from him lifting the hem back up, her eyes were busy looking back into his. He gave her the strangest, yet most pleasant, sensations, and she really enjoyed every single one of them.

"Okay," he answered, pulling out his wand from his back pocket as he exhaled slowly to try and calm the millions of nerves that seemed to be firing at once. He tried to focus on the spell he had to do but found it difficult. His mind prefered thinking about how soft her skin was under his fingers and how the stones he was supposed to be removing made those crazy butterflies do backflips in his belly.
He gave another long sigh and placed the tip of his wand on the largest of the stones as he said the spell. One by one, he popped them off, keeping his other hand on her side the whole time, mostly to steady himself.
When the last jewel was removed, he ran his hand over the area lightly to make sure he got them off properly. When he looked up at her, he realized what he had been doing and dropped his hand, smiling sheepishly at her. "Better?" he asked as he summoned the dropped stones and held them out to her.

Admittedly, she was nervous, especially since he seemed so nervous himself. Just why was he nervous? He was the one with the wand in his hand, shouldn't he be less nervous than she? Not bothering to ask why, she just hoped he was as good as she thought him to be, all she needed was to be out sick for another week because of a spell gone wrong. Just what would her mum have to say about it when she learned? No, Felicity wasn't really keeping it from her, she just hadn't said anything yet.
Holding her breath each time he said the spell, she waited for something to go wrong, not that she wanted something to, but she was afraid something would. When he began rubbing her belly, she giggled a little, doing her best not to. It was funny, cute, and kind of nice. Felicity had already decided she liked his touch, the reason she hadn't any problems with him keeping his hand on her side, but she really liked what he was doing.
"Yes, I'm better,: she answered, taking the offered stones, she nodded and smiled back at him. Glancing down, she didn't know what to do with the gems, she didn't have any pockets and her bag was just so far away at the moment. Deciding to just drop the pile on the desk, she did so and steppped forward.
What the blond wanted to do was lead the boy over to one of the couches in the room, so she could snuggle up to him, but she didn't actually want to wait that long and opted to just wait a moment to sit comfortably with him. Wrapping her arms back around his neck, she titled her head back and smiled. He had such adorable blue eyes, not quite dark but not exactly light either. And yet, they were not on middle ground. They were just blue.
Letting her hands mingle with a bit of his hair, she smiled shyly. His hair was soft, and it was another thing to add to her list of things she liked about him. "But I'm much better now."

He gulped hard and closed his eyes, just wanting to enjoy the feel of her hand in his hair all by itself. His own hand found one of her locks and when he opened his eyes again he watched as his finger gently wrap itself in the blonde curl. His gaze drifted to her soft brown eyes and he sighed and gave her a small smile.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked quietly as if he was worried someone else might hear his request.
