"I remember thinking it was so on the nose, which is why I was listening to them talk about it," Bishop admitted, rubbing the back of his head with a smirk, though that laugh of hers was a call straight to his heart. When she called it perfect, he eased up a bit more, like he'd been nervo...

Bishop chuckled softly at her talking about her notebook, "I wish you could find it, I would love to read all the places you wanted to go," he smiled at her lightly, "We could make it a goal to try and go to each one. And make memories along the way that we can think back on when we'r...

Hearing her response to seeing the city made him that much more glad he'd decided to take them via the train. He wanted her to experience the world in its entirety. "I'm glad you're enjoying it so far," he smiled softly at her. Then he chuckled at how quickly she said walk. "Alright,&...

Bishop smiled at her agreeing with him, "Funny how things work out that way," he murmured, "But I'm glad it does. That things can't be bad forever," he murmured. He was fine with just riding with her like this, enjoying the warmth and the feel of her, the smell of her that permea...

"I guess?" Bishop said, sounding unsure, "I don't know, I just knew I needed to come back here," he murmured. He looked at her as she said it was for similar reasons, listening to her story with rapt attention. He gave a hum then smirked, "Maybe the world decided to make am...

"I'm glad you like that idea too," Bishop smiled as she tested out the words, "And no, as much as I want to show you off to the world, I know that you would greatly dislike that and also, I'm not a gossip, especially not about things that aren't people's business to know," he mu...

Bishop gave a somewhat self-deprecatory smirk at him having "earned" an ego, but chuckled at her saying they'd be worse than the students. "Ah, well," he murmured, "I don't mind hearing about it," he smirked again. He leaned into her touch a little, drinking in the feel...

Bishop smirked at her calling him impossible, "Well, this is only the start," he murmured, "I won't wear it out, but you'll see," he smiled, a sort of promise that there was always going to be more. That this wasn't a one-time or a few-time thing. "Oh, they were teasing me, ...

When she responded in kind to the kiss, he almost seemed to sigh, like she just quelled something in him that was never quite quiet. Feeling her shiver at his touch, gods, she could have demanded anything from him in that moment. Just those little reactions were enough to drive him a bit mad. Perhap...

Bishop smiled at her saying it was nice that it was just the two of them, nodding in understanding. He didn't mind either way, because, similar to her statements, he'd be happy with her anywhere, even if they were just sitting together in the Great Hall, though that did mean they had to be a bit mor...

Her reaction to him drawing her close made something more stir in him, but he focused more on the conversation, "I'm glad we're on the same page," he smirked at her teasing, leaning his head forward a bit as she ran her fingers through his hair, as if to make it easier for her, though it b...

Bishop let go of her hand long enough for her to get her jacket on properly before reclaiming it, kissing her knuckles once more. It seemed to be his favorite little act of affection. Seeing her own affection reflected in her eyes left him unable to do anything but smile in response. Hearing, though...

Bishop cleared his throat a little as she pointed out exactly what he'd said, his cheeks burning a bit more, but she wasn't pulling away, nor seeming like she wanted him to, especially feeling her thumb on his knuckles. The gentle touch left him just with the slight embarrassment of being as forthco...

Bishop was looking around while he waited for her, calling back "Take your time" to keep her from worrying too much about it, especially as he heard the tremble. He felt kind of bad for making her so nervous, but he hoped that this would go so well that she wouldn't be so nervous the next ...

"I, uh, I bought the necklace when I saw it cause I immediately thought of you, but when I brought it back here, I worked on it to get it to have that effect on touch," he murmured, "Especially after some of our early conversations this year." Her reaction told him he'd been spo...

It was late afternoon when Bishop found his way to where Tati had said her home was. He'd asked her if he could take her somewhere during the break, wanting to be able to spend some time with her away from this place. He'd even gotten them a reservation somewhere. It was a restaurant he'd learned of...

Bishop tilted his head side to side in a "fair" gesture. "My odds have increased since school days when it comes to that, though, trying to do that when preparing for projects and tests was not a wise choice," he chuckled slightly. The amount of stress he caused himself was truly...

He looked a little confused when she tugged him back, but smiled softly as she kissed his cheek. He watched her eyes, her face as she spoke, drinking in her expression. He missed seeing her happy like this, and a thought in his mind was that he never wanted to be the cause of taking this happiness f...

Bishop chuckled at her almost immediate protest, "I have a feeling we won't be out here long enough for me to get actually cold," he assured her, "but you're far more exposed, I at least have sleeves," he smirked, holding his good arm out as an example. "When we were kids, I...

He wasn't terribly surprised to hear she had been planning to stay far away from it, "I know," he murmured softly, "I truly am sorry... I didn't think far enough ahead on that one," he shook his head at himself. Hearing her say she'd at least think about it brought a ghost of a s...

Bishop couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction to his actions before nodding his head side to side, "It was what I was trying to do, yes," he smirked before leaning in and asking in a whisper, "Is it working?" But then she was kissing him again, so he could take that as a yes. ...

Bishop stepped back as she woke up, figuring she'd still be rightfully upset with him. When she pointed out he should be in bed, followed by questions, he took an easy breath, not breathing too deep to avoid pushing his luck, "I only just got up," he said, "And so far everything seems...

When Bishop woke the next morning, he grimaced a bit at the reminder of his state the second he went to sit up, then rolled to the side instead, thankfully remembering which way to go. He squinted a bit, his world straightening itself out after sleeping so hard. His body ached as a firm reminder of ...

Bishop gave a sheepish grin at her disbelief, nodding, "When the rumors started, it felt like you were avoiding me, so I thought you didn't want that kind of thing being said, so I assumed you didn't feel that way," he admitted, ducking his head a little. When she switched tone, and he hea...

He looked at the pages as she showed them to him, but if his exhaustion wasn't showing earlier, it was sagging on him now. The adrenaline was down, he was feeling a bit like a piece of shit, and well. He hadn't exactly slept well while stuck in there. It wasn't like he hadn't taken precautions in th...
