Nora’s smile seemed to brighten the entire world around them, and Galen couldn’t help but smile. Her hand brushed against his, and where they touched turned pink, mirroring the blush of his smile. Nora piped up, commenting that it had been a pretty good practice.
“Definitely! Maybe, but it’s always inspiring how quickly people can pick up the game. And they’ll have plenty of time to get better.” He tried thinking about Mason and Charlotte, and some errant neuron in his head wondered if easy to pick up and hard to master was some fundamental law of the universe that even aliens adhered to, but no coherent thoughts formed today. Tonight, his thoughts just drifted back to Nora. Nora, walking slowly at his side. Nora, haloed by the sun. Nora, whose presence next to him made the whole world steady.
Yeah, I should…probably say something already. It..it’ll be okay right?
Galen didn’t really have a plan per se. If he had, he might not have picked when they were hanging out with the rest of the team and due to join back up soon. He had…a vague idea of what he was going to say, but he also figured he’d just let words happen when they would.
”Hey Nora? I…have a feeling I’d like to express.” he paused and turned to face her, but then looked down, fidgeting with his broom. ”We..We’re…I know we’re friends. What I mean is…Could you…would…so I really, really like you.”
It wasn’t like they hadn’t gone on dates before–fun, casual weekends to Hogsmeade, silly evenings in character, late evenings on the pitch–but this felt different. They’d flirt, but Galen wasn’t even sure if that was just flirting or silly banter. What if he was the only one that thought of it as romantic? There was no way she didn’t know how he felt– his emotions were usually telegraphed all over him for crying out loud–so what if she was just sparing him a rejection. What if–
Galen looked up, and seeing Nora–looking at her changed the words as he said them.
“Nora, You’re incredible. You don’t need me to tell you, but it can’t be said enough– you’re a literal ray of sunshine, as kind to humans as creatures, the funniest gal I know, and you always inspire everyone around you– to be…well, to try to be better. And... I love you–I love the small moments between us, and I love how much fun we get up to. No matter what, that’ll keep happening. But I wondering–hoping–would you be my girlfriend?”
Whatever happened, they were friends first. Even if she didn’t feel the same romantically, the truth was, he still loved her. So no matter what, they’d be okay.

If sunlight bothers you in the path then
I'll spread the shade
If darkness scares you then
On the horizon I'll decorate the moon
If you're sad, then I'll crack jokes
And make you laugh
Laughing and singing this way
I'll walk four steps with you.
