quick to catch your eye (ryder)

[jayden rhys andrews]

jayden loved the weekends. finally being able to get out of the castle and go down to hogsmeade was one of his favorite things to do at the school. sure, classes were really fun when he could actually use magic, but the homework load always killed him. he always procrastinated it because he didn't want to do it and ended up pulling all - nighters a lot. luckily, he'd learned to live off little to no sleep . . . plus, that meant naps later! and naps were always good. sleep was good. very, very good, and just in case it wasn't obvious enough already, jayden loved him some sleep.

the slytherin left the castle on his own, not having the patience to wait for his friends to finish eating breakfast. who needed breakfast in the castle when you could fill up on butterbeer and sweets?? no one! with that kind of mentality, jayden headed straight to honeydukes, buying about as much as he could fill his pockets with. after that, he bought himself a nice, warm butterbeer and sat on the side of the pathway in front of the three broomsticks, not really caring about how he looked while sitting there alone. a few third years scurried past him, giggling, and jayden gave them a flirty wink. after they passed, the male looked up and saw a very familiar face nearby. " oi, ryder! " he waved at the boy, hoping to get his attention from the ground.

[ryder james bletchley]

ryder was not in the mood to see anyone that day. as soon as it began he had escaped the burden of public breakfast and skipped right down the train to get some sweets and maybe a drink or two. why? well he didn't want to see the bane of his existence. he didn't want to see sapphire whitby. one might have asked why he would want to dissociate himself from the woman he kissed and cuddled with publicly and privately, however that was where the issue lied. it was getting too close. they cuddled too much. they sweet talked so much more than they should've- more than ryder was even comfortable with. the school life of ryder bletchley was so defined by his player attitude. what if he didn't have that anymore? what if sapphire took that from him? it was terrifying. then what would he be to everyone else? who would he be? a sore spot was how people saw him, and he was content with being the seventh year player and that's where he wanted to stay for as long as possible.

when he heard the call ryder was walking himself, gripping a few bags of candy that he had ended up buying on his own accord. if it had anyone but his "little-brother" he would've just kept walking, but it was jayden, and jayden got special privileges that others didn't. he grinned and then trotted over to the ledge, hugging him tightly and then parting. "yo man wassup?! why aren't you at school?"

[jayden rhys andrews]

jayden opened up random packages of the sweets that he'd bought and just started eating them, not really caring for what he ate and what flavors mixed in his mouth. whenever he started to get a little cold, he would just drink a bit of his butterbeer and would be heated right up. his bag of sweets had been half - emptied by the time he had seen ryder and called him over; he was a little sad that he couldn't gorge all the food before he saw the other man, but it was worth it. sweets could wait . . . well, not really, but he could at least eat them while talking to his " big brother. " jayden smiled a little at the thought and stood up to return ryder's hug; he figured it would be awkward to have a sitting - standing hug.

" i could ask you the same thing! but i didn't feel like waiting for people to eat breakfast so i came down here to beat everyone and got some food of my own. i see you did the same thing, " he laughed lightly, motioning to the bags of candy that ryder was carrying. jayden popped some random piece of candy into his mouth before cracking his back, sighing a little. there, much better. " so, what's been up with you lately? seems like forever since i've seen ya, bro, " he questioned, a bright smile on his face. then again, when wasn't a smile on his face?
