Nanali now stood up in the tower alone and was in deep thought. However, she didn't expect to be along for very long as she had invited someone to join her. The thoughts were in fact about this person, a girl that had recently come into her life and had already meant so much to it in the short time they had been around one another.
From the day she had met Peyton Selwyn, the girl had not left her mind. She was so beautiful and sweet, and the two had so much in common with one another. They had spent as much time together as possible, which was difficult given Nanali's Prefect duties and the fact that the two lives in separate Houses. But she made the most of the time they could spend together, and looked forward to her coming to visit over the summer.
But today Nanali had thought deeply about their relationship. The two had gone from being friends to best friends... but Nanali felt there was something more to it. That her love for Peyton was stronger. And this confused her. While she would never pass judgement on any girl who would think such thoughts about another girl, she herself never expected to feel them.
And now she also wondered what Peyton felt. She had to know, and she had to tell Peyton would she felt. Otherwise, it was going to eat her up inside.

As Peyton climbed the stairs to the tower Nanali had invited to meet her, she thought about their new friendship. It didn't seem that long ago that the two of them had become acquainted, out on the Hogwarts grounds. Peyton had never become such fast friends with anyone; but then, she didn't really become friends with many people, period. Peyton was somewhat socially inept, which she had her father to blame for. Still, she felt so close to Nanali, she thought she might feel that she could finally tell Nanali everything about her. Everything about her father and grandfather, and the way they treated her. They had already shared so much; she and Nanali got along so well. She smiled as she continued to climb, feeling a nice warmth spread through her. It was so lovely to have someone to be close with. There was no one else she was this close with, and there hadn't been anyone like this ever before. She knew she wanted to tell Nanali how much she appreciated her. Everything was new to her, but Peyton was doing remarkably well. She hadn't pulled back once yet, like she had in other friendships, when she felt they had gotten too personal. The fact that she had let Nanali in to begin with was, in itself, remarkable.
She made it to the top of the stairs, and immediately her eyes rested on Nanali. She smiled brightly, "I hope I haven't kept you waiting long." She sat down on the bench closest to Nanali, and pulled some Honeydukes candy out of her pocket. "I brought us something to chew on. I woke up with a sweet tooth today." On the bench she had laid out some Chocolate Frogs, Cauldron Cakes, Licorice Floss (her favorite), and some Sugared Butterfly Wings.

Nanali smiled as Peyton arrived with the sweets. They all looked wonderful.
"Thank you, Peyton," she said. "That is most kind of you to bring them. And I haven't waited long at all." She then looked up and found her eyes locked on Peyton's. Peyton had the most beautiful eyes. Nanali smiled again. "It's lovely to see you again, Peyton."
This might have sounded silly as Nanali had seen her earlier in the day. She really hoped it didn't sound silly to Peyton though given what she had to talk about was very serious. She took a Cauldron Cake and sat on another bench. She politely motioned for Peyton to sit beside her.
"I have something rather... I suppose I could say difficult to tell you and I don't know where to begin," she said. She then gave a short, nervous laugh. "It's nothing bad, I promise you. It's just... well... hard to get out."
Should she be direct or build up to it and find herself rambling or what? Nanali sighed and just began with seeking a little confirmation.
"Peyton, you would agree with me that you and I have become quite close in a short time, wouldn't you?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm glad," Peyton said, smiling at Nanali as she sat down next to her. She was unaware of their knees touching, because she was too focused on the wrapper of the Licorice Floss. She popped it into her mouth, and as she chewed, it weaved between her teeth. She gave a small giggle, being tickled by it. She started fidgeting with the wrapper in her fingers - she always needed to have something to do with her hands.
She looked up at Nanali in brief alarm, until she was assured nothing was wrong. She tilted her head curiously, wondering what it was that had gotten Nanali so out of sorts. Nanali always had her wits about her, and it was odd to see her so out of character. "You know you can tell me anything, Nala." Peyton had soon given her best friend the nickname after she had been informed about the muggle movie, The Lion King, and because Nanali's house mascot was a lion. "Actually," Peyton started, looking down at the wrapper in her hands, "I had been wanting to tell you something, as well." She had decided it was time to confess her family background, something she had always kept a secret to herself. She was nervous that Nanali might not want to deal with her emotional baggage, or worse, stop talking to her because of her family members.

Nanali smiled when Peyton told her she could tell her friend anything. She also smiled because of the little nickname the girl gave her. The name was adorable. Nanali usually wasn't one to give nicknames, but she would have to think of something nice for Peyton as well.
Now it was time for Nanali to begin. She closed her eyes and sighed a bit, then opened then back up and did so.
"Peyton, you are the most wonderful person I have met at Hogwarts," she said. "You are already my best friend and someone I love being around as often as possible. However, there is also this feeling inside me when I am around you. I think it is the feeling many girls would have for a boy they fancied. I have never expected to feel such a love for another girl..." She then placed one of Peyton's hands into one of hers. "But that feeling is there... and I am glad it is there."
Another thing about Nanali was that she was normally not one for physical affection. But with Peyton, she had wanted to take the girl in her arms so often since they had met. They in itself told Nanali a great deal.

Peyton listened patiently to what Nala had to say, with her legs crossed towards her. Her heart started to pick up its pace, and when Nala finally made her confession, Peyton's heart literally skipped a beat. She froze, unsure of what to say. She'd never even considered this as something that could happen with their friendship. Peyton had never even had a boyfriend, and now a girl was telling her she loved her? It was all so fast. It was in the wrong order. She stared at Nanali as she tried to process all of her thoughts, but in the end all she could say was, "What?" It was obvious Nala was a Gryffindor, because Peyton never would have been brave enough to make a confession like that, so out of the blue. Peyton didn't move her hand out from underneath Nala's. She couldn't move at all, actually. She was so shocked, all she could do was gape and stare at Nala.

When Peyton gave the reaction that she did, Nanali closed her eyes. For the first time in a long time, she felt foolish and embarrassed. Why had she just come out like that? Why couldn't she just let things play out and see where they went? Now, she could very well lose Peyton all together because there would be that awkwardness between them. Right now, all she could do was apologize.
"I'm sorry, Peyton," she said, a tear pouring down her right eye. "I'm afraid I let so much get bottled up inside me that it all just came out at once. And to be honest, I don't know how to handle these feelings. Part of me is glad they are there, but another part of me doesn't want them. I especially don't want to feel that way about you if you do not feel the same in return. And I am not expecting you to, Peyton. Believe me, I would never try to place such a burden on you."
Nanali sighed and tried to fight back the tears in her eyes. She could not remember the last time she wept.
"I hope you and I can still be friends at least," she said. "I have truly never met someone I have enjoyed being around so much."

Peyton wasn't sure how to respond. She had no previous experience with anything like this. But she did know that she didn't want to lose Nala - she was the only person Peyton felt completely comfortable with. Well, generally speaking. At the moment, she felt a bit out of her comfort zone. Finally she managed to say, "I don't want you to ever have to apologize for how you feel." She looked down at her hands, feeling suddenly guilty for the tear that was running down Nala's cheek. She wanted to wipe it away for her, but she didn't want to send the wrong message either. She didn't even know what the right message was yet. She sighed deeply. "I don't know what to say," she said, solemnly. She was having a hard time keeping eye contact at the moment. She didn't feel entirely awkward, just out of sorts. "I need to think about this, Nanali. This is completely unexpected." She spoke quietly, and comfortingly. She didn't want to upset Nala any more than she already had. Peyton was feeling a tug on her heart, and was feeling indeed burdened, but not for the reason Nala had supposed. Peyton was already struggling with being a disappointment to her father and grandfather, she couldn't bear being a disappointment to Nanali, too. She bit her lip, and blinked back the sudden moistness in her eyes.

It was nice of Peyton to tell Nanali not to apologize for how she felt, but it didn't comfort her as much as Peyton might have wanted it to. Nanali felt herself a fool. She felt like she let her emotions overcome her and that she had made am impulsive decision. And now the person she cared about so much had to deal with this awkwardness because of her. Peyton did not deserve that. The more Nanali thought about this, the more she wept. She couldn't fight it. What would her dear godmother think of her now? She did not teach Nanali to be this way.
Now Peyton asked her to give her time to think about it all. That was the very least Nanali could do for her. Give her time... and give her space. She looked at her friend and nodded.
"Take all the time you need, Peyton," she said. "And whatever you decided, I will accept it." She then rose and stepped away, allowing Peyton to be alone with her thoughts for however long she needed. Ayo, who had been exploring the tower, approached her and leaped into her arms once she moved away. She held the cat and pet her for comfort.

Peyton felt terrible watching Nala crying like this. She couldn't stop herself from taking her thumb and wiping the tears from her cheeks. "Please don't cry. No matter what happens, I promise I'll still be here for you," Peyton reassured her. She watched as Nala got up and walked away, so that Peyton could be alone to think. She didn't know what to think. It was all too much to process.
She sighed, and rubbed her hands together, trying to collect her feelings. She supposed she mostly felt overwhelmed, she was taken aback, surprised, but she knew she still loved Nanali. She just didn't know if it was that kind of love... She'd never had an experience with anyone else to know the difference. Peyton sat and thought through her feelings for over twenty minutes, before she decided to find Nanali to discuss them.
She quickly jogged down the stairs of the tower, and luckily found her at the base of them. "Nala," she said, happy to have found her. She took one of her hands in her own. "I want you to know that I care about you more than anyone else in the world. I have to confess I've never been in a relationship before, I-I've never even been k-kissed." She was so nervous she was beginning to stutter. "I wouldn't know what to do. But... I care about you t-too much not to give it a try. I have a lot of feelings for you, and though I can't seem to translate them now, maybe you can teach me what they mean."

When Peyton came after her, there was already a part of Nanali that felt better. She had a feeling that what Peyton would have to say would be wonderful. She help Peyton's hand and listened to her, looking into her beautiful eyes and barely blinking. She understood why Peyton reacted as she did now. What she couldn't understand was how no one had never tried to win Peyton's heart. The girl was beautiful and wonderful and true magic was there when Nanali was around. What person could turn that down? At the same time, Nanali felt fortunate that she could be the first and perhaps the last.
When Peyton said that she had never been kissed, Nanali decided to take another risk, at least a small one. Leaning it, she gave Peyton a kiss on the lips. It was a quick one as Nanali was the last person in the world to force herself on a person. But though quick, there was a great deal of love behind it. She then stepped back again and smiled.
"Peyton, I will be most honored to help you with your feelings," she said. "And come what may, we will always be friends. I love you, Peyton." She then went to embrace her friend.

Peyton was so built up with emotions that she could feel her heart throbbing, and adrenaline was racing through her. As soon as she had told Nala how she felt, she had been worried that she would be rejected, or that she would lose her. But instead, before Peyton could prepare herself, Nala had leaned forward and kissed her. Peyton hadn't even had time to close her eyes, she was so surprised. She marveled at how soft Nala's lips felt on hers. She even noticed how lovely her eyelashes looked closed, and so close up. But it was over all too soon, and Peyton stood speechless. Her heart had surely skipped a beat, and then picked up again, beating twice as fast as it had been before. She felt breathless, but mostly she felt an unexpected surge of affection towards Nala. Nala didn't know it, but Peyton would never forget that kiss. It was her first, and it meant a lot to her. She was certain that she would remember it forever.
She stood silent, and shocked, until Nala stepped forward and pulled her into an embrace. Peyton's limbs seemed to relax, and she returned the hug, tucking her head into the crook of Nala's neck. It felt safe there, and Nala felt so warm and comforting. Peyton breathed in the smell of her, calming her senses. "I love you, too, Nala," she murmured, and then she pulled her head back. Shakily she moved her lips closer to Nala's until they were pressed against them. It lasted a few moments longer than their first one had, but this time Peyton could process how she was feeling. To her, it felt right. She pulled away and gave Nala a small smile, unsure of what to say. She gave her another quick hug before pulling back and holding both of Nala's hands in hers.

There were not many days that Nanali felt like the sun had decided to shine on her and her alone. This was not one of those days either. For today, the sun had reserved its light for both Nanali and Peyton. Peyton's touch kiss were the too most amazing things Nanali had ever felt. Her whole body was in a state of bliss. And when Peyton said she loved Nanali too, that made things even more amazing. Nanali now cried again, but with joy.
"You don't know how happy I am right now," she said. "I have never been so happy, not in all of my life. I love you so much."
Nanali then thought of something... or rather two people.
"You know, my friends Noel and Dean, they are a couple," she said. "I see them together, and I see how some react to their relationship, and for some time I wonder what makes them endure the negative feelings from others and go on happy in each others' company. Now I know what makes them go on. I know others will react poorly to you and I now, but I say let them. With you, I will always be happy."
She then embraced Peyton again and kissed her on the cheek.

"All I want to do is make you happy, Nala," Peyton told her, wiping the tears from Nala's cheeks. "I know we can do this. Please, just have patience with me." She let Nala envelope her back into a hug, and Peyton stayed there, loving the way it felt. Before she knew what had come over her, she could feel tears falling down her cheeks, and she was crying. There were few times that she cried, and it was only done in private. She held on to Nala, as she cried openly, feeling so many emotions crash over her at once. But mostly, she was just happy to have someone finally accept her and love her for who she was, something she hadn't experienced before.
