I'd imagine. You're a walking invasion of privacy. That has to have some uncomfortable feelings. Especially if you stumble upon someone's wet daydream about a teacher during class.
[ he raises his eyebrows and grins at ryan while stating that. eh eh? how funny would that be? he thinks it would be hilarious. ryan's sinking into the couch in comfort and harry's definitely more awake than he had been. ]
Thought so. I like to consider myself clever.

I'm not sure anyone would come back after the first session.
[Don't get him started on his sword nerding okay.]
[Don't get him started on his sword nerding okay.]
It's not - [Oh, for fuck's sake.] - there is no relationship. Of any kind. Just get that much straight, alright?
The point is, I'm not making contact with any guys until he gets his fucking panties out of a twist. So stop trying to touch me.

Okay, he's just your creepy stalker. No relationship. I had no idea that's what complicated was.
[ he DEFINITELY doesn't do complicated then. there's a pause then he moves one of his hands near john again - but he's not trying to touch him though. he's aiming to put it next to him and see how close he can get before john recoils. he rolls his eyes ]
That's so unfair to me. You're like a walking battery. C'mon man.

What did I just say. [Twitching away, since the movement is so slow.] You're not getting past it. Might as well have a forcefield.
And you think I haven't tried talking him out of it? I spent the whole night trying to talk him out of it. Go to him if it's so unfair to you, maybe he'll listen to you.

Okay but ...what if I tackled you? Like you can't avoid that. Or you were sleeping and I went to do it? Would you wake up? Is it only skin contact or can I touch your shirt? What if I was holding a stick and poked you with it? Does that count as touching you if it's an extension of my arm? What if a trans person goes to touch you? Do you react based on their biology or on their self-identity? Or would it be your first impression of them? What if I had a prosthetic and touched you with it? What if I shape shifted? Can a male animal touch you or does it have to be a human?

[He listens to all of this with a long-suffering, irritable expression.]
It's not my mutation. How the hell would I know? But if you tackle me, you'll be ashes before we hit the ground, so don't even try it. [Empty threat - he's got no lighter. That fact makes his hand flex with renewed frustration.] I - assume it's all about my perception. It's a kind of telepathic suggestion, what he does.

Yeah, right. [ that threat is empty. so much so harry just shakes his head at it. he doubts even if he had fire to burn him with, he wouldn't do it. he'd be too relieved harry managed to find a loophole to a command, most likely ]
You know the solution to this is just go sleep with some girls.
You know the solution to this is just go sleep with some girls.
How does that help anything? [He leans against the nearest shelf, eyebrow up.] Yeah, it's fun, but Petre doesn't care about that. Otherwise he would've said don't touch anyone. He's specifically keeping me away from dudes, and you're proving really well how annoying that's gonna get after awhile.
Because he thinks dudes are a threat. He thinks you like them more. Or... a certain one more. So go get a girl and prove him wrong. [ he makes a gesture at him. do the thing ]
Or proposition him for a threesome with another guy and he has to take it off for proper enjoyment.

Anything that involves screwing him is off the table. [Quick, flat, and definite. Threesome is a no.
He narrows his eyes at the first suggestion, though.] Yeah, prove him wrong or make him really go off the deep end and make sure I can't touch anyone. I'll try it, but if this backfires, it's on you.
[There's also the fact that... well, no one in the school really likes him all that much, and he's had singularly bad luck with girls since arriving. They're not so quick to agree to something as casual as he wants. But he'll give it a try.]

Who says I wanna mess with you?
[He glances over at the bush of charred flowers.]
Okay, the flowers were messing with you. But that was before I knew how charming you were. [His smile is ironic, but not mean-spirited.]

Oh, god-- I haven't heard anything like that, thankfully. I don't know if I could look at them the same way ever again.
[His nose wrinkles at the thought of it, then he shakes his head as if trying to get that idea out of it. No mental images, please.]
...you really weren't kidding about picking up other people's moods, huh?
[It's a little out of nowhere, but Ryan hasn't missed the way Harry's so much perkier.]

[It's a little out of nowhere, but Ryan hasn't missed the way Harry's so much perkier.]
[That bit of hurt gets guilt in return, in his face and in his thoughts.]
-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have... I just- I overreacted, I guess.
[Ryan rubs at the back of his neck, not quite looking at him.]
Wasn't sure where we stood after- what we did, and then with that happening--
I'm sorry, John.
-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have... I just- I overreacted, I guess.
[Ryan rubs at the back of his neck, not quite looking at him.]
Wasn't sure where we stood after- what we did, and then with that happening--
I'm sorry, John.
[He's sorry. Really, genuinely sorry. John almost wants to kiss him for that - in the library, outside of their extra-curricular activities, he just wants to get up on tiptoe and kiss him because John got into a sulk and Ryan is sorry for causing it rather than scathing, amused or dismissive. That's a shockingly rare event in his life.
But of course, he can't. And it's almost funny to him, how Petre is heading off what he'd perceive as a threat, but he'd never guess who it actually is. But it's mostly infuriating.]
Forget it. Must've looked weird as hell, huh. [John grins, one of his quieter, more intimate grins, and starts shelving again.] But no, it was - good. I wouldn't wanna stop that.
[He laughs, a bit unsteadily.] It was really fucking good.

Someone was watching my searches. I should have expected it, but...
[He shrugs. What are you gonna do? Proxies are kind of useless when your brother's friend is a nosy tech bastard.]
[He shrugs. What are you gonna do? Proxies are kind of useless when your brother's friend is a nosy tech bastard.]
So everything going to shit when you showed up is coincidence, huh?
[Yeah, John's a huge brat. Welcome to that side of his personality. Which he reinforces by pulling a face right back.]
Maybe you didn't do it on purpose, but it's your fault. You and your stupid fucking face.

[He laughs coolly.] Life gave me a degree in that way before I came here. Alright, let's see if you can pull it off.
[ he scoffs. wow john fuck you ]
Excuse me for existing and bringing a dark cloud of doom and gloom with me everywhere.
[ waves his hands next to his head and laughs dryly. he drops his hands right after then turns around, sighing ]
Ugh. Forget it. Changed my mind about being helpful. I'll go stick a bag over my head so you don't have to see my face and maybe I'll suffocate myself with it for kicks.
[ he's walking off to go sit near his study group again but they left, figuring he was done with them for the day. welp. ]

[Oh. Oh shit, that was stupid.]
Harry. [And in full voice when he doesn't stop.] Harry.
[Allerdyce, could you and your friend at least take your discussion outside of the library? It's effectively being let off early, but sometimes teachers just get frustrated to the point where they don't particularly want to be there for the punishment either. He collects his lighter, then approaches Harry again and nods his head toward the door. He won't say any more here for fear of bringing down a new punishment, but the gesture is obviously asking if they can continue the conversation.
And to his credit, he looks a bit contrite.]

[ harry's arms are folded and his expression completely dull. tired. he's just sluggishly collecting his things, slinging a his bag over his shoulder he left hanging on the chair he was in. he does blink at john a few times though, spares the teacher a glance before shaking his head but following john out after getting the nod.
sure. they can continue. it really isn't like he has anything better to do. ]
This better be you taking back the comment about my face being stupid.

You are both the vainest pricks - [He throws his arms out at his sides in irritable disbelief, then just shrugs.]
- yeah, okay, your face isn't stupid. You're actually both very fucking pretty and it pisses me off. What I was going to say is that I know Petre's not your fault. Most people just don't listen to my shit for long enough to call me on it.
[With a sidelong glance toward Harry, he angles for the front door.]
C'mon. I need to blow off some steam, and you'll like it.

[ harry's look gets duller at him, a little more annoyed when he starts talking but then it eases up. he smiles at being called pretty for a second ]
Duh. Obviously it's not my fault. I've been saying it the entire time. [ he moves a hair out of his face and shrugs again ] They should listen like I do otherwise you're not going to realize how big of a dick you are.
[ he's still following closely ]
Okay, what are we doing?
