<span style="color: #00BFFF">Joshua nodded a little at her idea of leaving class a little early, but he knew that unless Pomfrey said that it was okay, that Professor's weren't going to let him do it. And he did not feel like going back into the Hospital Wing, she was going to start to mothering him again. As nice as it was, he just didn't like it all that much, his own mother had given up trying to do such things for him years ago. <br/><br/>Joshua had to hold in a bit of a sigh of relief when she said that she wasn't going to go back to her ex, that she didn't want to be anything more then friends. He liked that and didn't feel as jealous, though he still wasn't entirely sure that why he was feeling so jealous. Maybe he had a crush on her, but it wasn't something that he was used too, having these crushes on girls. He had liked a few, thought some were pretty, but he'd never actually had a crush before, from what he could remember anyway. <br/><br/>He came out of his moment of thoughts when he heard her teasing questions and fought off a blush as he looked at her. Her giggle was just so cute, he couldn't help but smile at her as he "Because I don't think he even knows how to treat a girl right. He doesn't look like he'd be much of a gentleman, I bet he never opened a door for you." he said, in a more serious tone, knowing she'd only been teasing, he couldn't help but be a bit more serious with her. <br/><br/>He cast a look around the room and then looked back at her as he took a quick glance out the window "What sort of rumors do you think will spread around if you don't show up back in your dorm tonight? There's lots of comfortable places for you to sleep in here and I'm fine right here on the floor. Would you mind if we just stayed here the night? Rumors don't float around me, they've gotten used to me not sleeping in the dorm, even a few have stumbled across me in a few of my odd places to sleep." he told her before he was slowly getting up and extending a hand down to her. "The window here as a beautiful view of the setting sun, do you want to watch? I'll open the window so we can watch." he said with a smile. <br/></span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #8000FF">April smiled sweetly over at Joshua as he spoke. She found it very sweet that he didn't think that Joshua wasn't much of a gentlemen for her and she thought that he was quite right too. For a second April allowed her mind wondered on how much of a gentlemen Joshua was himself. How differently the two of them where and she couldn't help but really like those differences. Yes in all he was much more charming, caring and thoughtful then Danny. <br/><br/>When he bet that Danny had never opened a door for her she had to really think hard on a occasion when he did that and she really couldn't find one. Not the time when her hands where full of some many books and she had to use her back to open door while he talked to his friends about the up coming quidditch game, nor the time when they where in Hogsmeade on there first date. "You know...I think your right." she replied over to Joshua, frowning lightly at the thought. It was never something that she noticed at the time. <br/><br/>Laying down April was still trying to think of a time when Danny was actually being a true gentlemen when Joshua spoke over to her again. She happily pulled aside her thoughts not wanting to waste another moment thinking about Danny. "Rumors?" She asked a little puzzled by what he was asking her. "I doubt that many people would notice. Plus it wouldn't be the first time I didn't sleep in my door room." April replied as she happily took his hand gently, getting up from the fluffy pillows that she laid on the floor. "I would love too." She replied sweetly she gave off a shy smile. <br/><br/>Although she would much rather her hand staid with his, she allowed her hand to gently slip away from his as he opened the window for them both. Once he was finished she smiled bright and took up a space next to him. Her gaze turned to the open window, watching the evening sun set along the lake and forest. It was a breathtaking site, seeing all the reds, oranges, yellows and blue blend in together. "It's...beautiful." April said a little breathlessly. Without really knowing it she found herself snuggling up to Joshua slightly. Lightly leaning her head on his shoulder as she took a light soft sigh of happiness. "Thank you. For bringing me up Joshua.It's...i'v really enjoyed ever moment." she confessed as she felt her cheeks start to glow, though she tried to cover it up so that he wouldn't see her blushing so much. <br/></span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #00BFFF">Joshua smiled when he realized that she was loving the space and really enjoying the amazing view of the sun setting beyond the river and mountains. "It really is amazing." he said softly, knowing that she was close enough he didn't have to be too loud. What he wasn't expecting, was when she was leaning into him and using his shoulder as a pillow. He didn't know what to do and forced himself to relax so that she wouldn't notice. He had to slow down his breathing in hopes of slowing down his heart so she wouldn't notice as he very slowly moved his arm around her, enjoying this more then he thought that he ever would. "This is when I wish I could capture a sunset perfectly with colours. I'd find a way to blend the disappearing yellow of the sun to blend into the luxurious orange that mixes so beautifully with the purple as that blends into the lightly fading blue sky with light and dark clouds adding a wonderful contrast." he told her, unaware that he'd drawn her closer to his body. He hummed softly, silently watching the sunset as he held onto her, enjoying the wonderful feelings that were slowly coming over him</span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #8000FF">Looking out of the window and the amazing sunset, setting next to Joshua had to be one of Aprils favorite moments in her while time at Hogwarts so far. It was so peaceful and calming that she found herself not wanting to move from this spot at all and, to her it seemed to her that Joshua was liking this arrangement too. As she felt his arm wrapping around her lightly she smiled to herself, enjoying the warm feeling around her that his arm gave off. "Even when you say it, you make it sound so much more beautiful..." April commented as she looked up at him lightly, her head still resting on his shoulder. It was then that she realized just how much she had snuggled into him by how close there faces where to one another. not being able to hold back the blush growing in her cheeks she tilted her head back down. "I think you would be able to capture the sunset...Your an amazing artist and I don't think there isn't anything you couldn't do if you put your mind to it" She added more shyly over to him then she had wanted it to sound. Closing her eyes lightly she sat there cuddling up to Joshua and enjoyed the last of the warm suns raise as it slowly hide behind the trees and mountains. "I could stay here forever..." April said lazily as she felt herself growing sleepy. <br/></span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #00BFFF">Joshua smiled slowly as she told him that he'd be able to catch the sunset because he was an amazing artist, but he only had charcoals, that's what she didn't understand, he had no colours at all to capture the beauty that was the sunset. Even if he managed to remember this one, it would be hard getting all the colours. He tilted his head as he looked over wonderful view, the sun finally dipping beyond the mountains as it continued to set, casting the castle into shadow and mostly darkness. Hints of light was coming from behind them, from the moon. He shifted slowly, unaware that his head was finding it's way to rest on top of April's, let out this very quiet sound of contentment, not that he was even aware that he'd done it. He wasn't that used to being this close to someone, and enjoyed how close he got with April, even if he wasn't going to remember it. Joshua picked up his head when she said that she could stay there forever, and he thought about it before he was smiling slowly as he shifted to take a better look at her. "You know what, I think that I could almost stay here forever too." he told her, gently rubbing her back before he was turning at the sound of the door opening. He set a hand on her shoulder and moved away from her to look over to the door, letting out a breath he wasn't aware that he was holding in as a seventh year came wondering in. <br/><br/>"Oh... Joshua. I didn't think you'd be over here, I just came to do some studying. You two don't mind me." she told them both softly as she headed over to the opposite corner and curled up by the window with nothing but pillows and a blanket over her legs as she set an open text on her legs with some parchment as she used a pencil to start. She was trying hard not watch the younger couple. She'd never seen Joshua with anyone else, so she was thinking that they were a couple, especially with how close they were.</span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #8040FF">Although her eyes where growing heavy she was determined to stay awake and enjoy this moment that she was having with Joshua. Sun had now pass from her view and the moon was slowly taking it's place up in the sky, lightly illuminating the school grounds. April could feel Joshua becoming more comfortable next to her as she felt his head lightly resting on hers. It strange but nice how much she was enjoy being this close to Joshua. Even with Dean she didn't have moments like this, there was hardly a time where her and Dean weren't alone with his group of friends by his side all the time. But right now none of that mattered all she cared about was what was happening that every moment. <br/><br/>As April felt him shift she looked up at him with a warm beaming smile. She could feel him rubbing her back which sent a soft, welcoming tingling feeling though her body. Out of the blue she could her the door to the room open. She was quit surprised by this as she had only found out about his room today and figured that not many students used or new of this room. Following Joshua's gaze she notice a girl coming into the room. April guessed she was in her last year as she looked older and carrying a lot more homework then most students in other years did. <br/><br/>April gave a blushing smile over at the girl as she said not to mind her. Although April knew that they wasn't doing anything to blush about it still felt like they had been court out. Still with her cheeks in a light blush she looked over at Joshua before turning her gaze back over to the window. "Oh look some of the owls are in flight" April said brightly as she watched a pair of owls flying in the nigh sky. It looked more like they where dancing with how elegant they where when they flew and April found it hard to turn her gaze away from them. "I wish I could fly..." she said in a dream like state. "To feel the cool night air though my wings as I saw though the air." she added as she closed her eyes, imagining what it might feel like. Opening her eyes she started to feel a little foolish for drifting off like that. "Sorry..." she said as she looked over at him, a light blush appearing on her cheeks again. " Do you...do you want to o for a walk? Around the lake...we could come back here afterwords." April suggest with a gently smile on her lips. </span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #00FFFF">Joshua had to arch his brow at her, watching as she watched the owls with such fascination and urge to fly like that did. He'd certainly never experienced someone like her before. But then, he was an oddity too, unable to sleep in a bed like a regular person. He smiled a small smile at her when she was asking him if he wanted to go for a walk. "I'm afraid if I leave the castle, I will not be coming back inside." he told her, rubbing her back and then slowly moving away from her to lie back down on the floor upon the floor and his blanket that was there. He had moved a little slower then before because his ribs had started to hurt somewhat. <br/></span><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: #8000FF">April smiled warmly towards Joshua as he comment back to her question. I light giggle escaped her lips as she nodded towards him "Then let's stay here" she replied warmly as she felt his hand leave her back, allowing the cool air that was around them take over the space that his hand once was. Her eyes followed him as he placed himself on the floor. She loved how odd he was, that he only had a blanket for comfort. Sliding off of the window edge she slid down next to him, though she pulled over her large pillow and placed herself on it so the she could happily curl up on it and still be next to Joshua. <br/><br/>"So um how do you know her...?" April asked in a low voice as she lightly nodded over towards the seventh year that had come in. She tried to hold back the hint of jealousy in her voice as she looked over towards Joshua for his reply. It was a strange feeling for her to feel jealous, it wasn't and emotion or feeling that she felt very often. In fact this may have even been the first time she had felt it. <br/><br/> </span>
