It’s only us and the wilderness (Cepheus)

Where he had attended school overseas, the place was surrounded by acres of evergreen forest as far as the eye could see. There were mountains somewhere in the distance, but no matter how far they trudged through that forest, the mountains never seemed to get any closer. They were forced to go through there for days, depending on their own magic and survival skills. Atticus had been very afraid of it at first, but now he rather liked being around a deep, dark forest full of wonders.

He was, however, feeling a little frustrated. Now that he actually had free time, he didn’t know what to do with himself. He tried climbing a tree, but couldn’t get much further than the first branch. Now he was sat there, quite alone, cleaning his shoes with a rag.

Perhaps if he was really reminded of something he had before going away, he would go back to how he normally was.

Cephy was getting annoyed by being locked in the castle for a little while. He didn’t like being in places for long times, and not finding a thing to do. The male made his way too the Forest after contemplating what to do for a long time. He had walked on the lawns and looked at the early morning fog that came over Hogwarts, and how beautiful it was.

The only time Cepheus would point out how beautiful something could be. After a little bit he had finally arrived in the forest, and looked around until the sight of someone sitting the trees made him smirk. Walking over he crossed his arms, “Well, well look who we have here?” he said with a smirk. The prodigal son who finally returned, and didn’t own himself when it came to coming out as homosexual. “Why didn’t you kill your father, when he sent you away?” pointed out Cepheus since he’d never let Amycus send him away like some common thing all too save a family name.

@Atticus Nott

The day was dragging out. Perhaps he should try going back inside and studying or something, but the lack of routine had him feeling rather lost. He stopped cleaning and pocketed the rag, hearing someone approach.

This was something he hadn't felt for a while. A long, gut-wrenching squirm inside of his stomach at the sight of those cruel, pale eyes. Cepheus Carrow. A boy who, despite having a truly awful personality and problematic points of view, Atticus found extremely attractive. He wished he didn't. He really, really wished he didn't. Cepheus looked good. He'd grown taller, and his face had changed to a man's: a stronger jaw, and evidence of stubble that was clean shaven off.

Having stared at him breathlessly for long enough, he schooled his features into a steady expression.

"Because I'm not a murderer, and never will be." He sounded very confident in that, and was managing to look at him square in the eyes when he said it. Those beautiful, sharp eyes. "Most people do not leap to the idea of homicide when they are having issues with someone. You always seem to."

@Cepheus Carrow

Cepheus didn’t care much for the well-being of people, so this was his natural reaction since in his mind everyone was a problem except for Cepheus. He was the prodigal son in the eyes of so many, or at least in the eyes of himself.

“I’d murder anyone who were willing to question me.” he spoke dark and cruelty walking closer to Atticus. He had to admit the male had definitely become more defined which Cepheus found attractive, and he crossed his arms, “I do if the very person who abuses you about falling in love with someone they aren’t worth your time, or a breath of life.” shrugged Cepheus it was as simple as that.

@Atticus Nott

"You are sick, Cepheus."

He climbed down from the tree to meet him at eye level. Then, he was walking up close to him. He felt a pull around his stomach and a roar within him as he saw him up close. That dangerous look in his eyes. He couldn't know how sexy it was...

Atticus went on as though he wasn't thrown off by his appearance:

"Even if I was as twisted as you were, do you really think that ending someone's life is really the biggest punishment? My Father knows that I am gay. It is torture enough for him to know that I am gay. That sort of torture will continue for a lifetime, and that's just what I want for someone like him."
