Like No-one Else [Roxy]

[KYLE RICHARD BAXTER]

Kyle had found himself doing fairly well at work. At least by this point he was no longer an intern at any rate. He had been bumped up to a regular healer, which he was quite proud of. That had taken a lot of time and a lot of work to get to, but in the end, all the time and work were worth it. He now had a pretty decent work schedule, one that gave him more time to relax than when he was an intern. That meant he also had a chance to surprise Roxy on occasion, though he wasn't too sure he'd succeed each time he tried. This time though he had an off day on a Hogsmeade weekend, and his plan was to head to Hogsmeade and 'bump' into her there, if he could manage that anyways.

Heading to Hogsmeade, Kyle was dressed in a black long-sleeved t-shirt, blue jeans, and dark green and white sneakers, clothes he usually didn't wear when he was working at St Mungos. Arriving there, he looked around, noting that chances of just running into her were actually a bit slim. It was enough at any rate to prompt him to sit down on a bench and wait for her to hopefully walk past rather than him bumping into her. He hadn't been able to see her a whole lot, but he had managed to owl her some. The problem was keeping quiet about what his plan was for today, though at the moment he was wishing that he hadn't kept quiet about it.

Roxy was a bit bored with the castle, she had study, practiced her seeker skills and pranked that seventh year Slytherin who called her short, she was not short, she was normal height for her age. If anything he was to tall, though he was probably the same height a Kyle so maybe he wasnt to tall and just a jerk.

She was currently eating a bag of muggle M&Ms from her secret stash and walking along the streets for something to do. Perhaps buy new parchment to write letters to Kyle because she had taken notes on the parchment she had bought specifically for letters. In her defense she was running late and it was in her bag.

She looked around to make sure nobody eas around to watch her enter Zonko's which woukd be like a Blasphemy of epic proportions considering her father was why they got less business than usual. Her eyes landed on a familiar face sitting on the bench and she barely contained her squeal as she walked over. "Kyle!"

She said she sat next to him, she was glad she straighted her hair recently because she didn't want to smoother him with her har as she reached over and hugged him. "Did you have a day off, not that im not excited to see you, actually im thrilled, but I dint want you to get in trouble."

"Hey Roxy," he replied with a grin, glad she had actually noticed him there. That was a relief, as had she not spotted him, he'd have felt like he wasted his time with this little plan of his. Knowing that Operation Visit Roxy was thus far successful was pretty good feeling wise. Now he just had to wait and see what happened next as he just didn't know what Roxy might wanna do, or if she'll want him to decide what they do today. Well, the only way he'd be able to find out was to wait and see what she wanted to do. Patience was something he had thankfully mastered, as it was a skill he needed as a Healer, though that didn't mean he always showed patience with stuff, such as waiting for today when he could pull his little plan off.

"Yeah, today is an off-day, otherwise I'd be in huge trouble for not being at work," he replied with a chuckle and an amused expression. If nothing else he was glad she was concerned about whether or not he was going to be in trouble for being here to visit her. Well, she had nothing to worry about, so there wasn't much of a problem now was there? Well, there was a slight chance he might get called in if there was a ton of emergencies today, which was the worst case scenario for today. Best case was that he got his day off in its' entirety and was thus able to hang out with Roxy until they ran out of time to hang out. That of course was going to be when the students had to head back to the Castle.

"Sweet, the whole day and.you're spending it with meinstead of sleeping" Roxy was all smiles at that, as she shyly kissed him in his cheek, of course he was her first kiss and she had to admit that she was falling for the boy who was two years older than her. Sure she'd be seventeen next year instead of ths normal sixteen but she didn't truly care. She'd resigned to tue fact that her birthday came to late in the school year. It made the Gryffindor common room parties that much awesomer.

"So, how about we do something relaxing, the three broomsticks is crowded but we could always grab something to eat and chill in the countryside, theres this nice field a few mintues that way" Pointing in the direction of the dirt road. She spent her time roaming hogsmeade when she was bored and wanted to sneak out. She looked over her boyfriends and wondered how kept from lookong sk tired, if she was him she'd be tired...if only just a bit.

"Woulda been boring doing anything else really," he replied with a smile and a shrug. There really was no other way to say that, as he would have been bored out of his mind if he didn't opt to surprise Roxy. Granted this little plan of his would have worked better if coordinated with someone, such as Aaron Thompson or Matt Johanson. Problem was he had heard of Matt's clashes with Roxy from Matt himself, though he wasn't going to bring them up, as he figured he'd present a rather uncomfortable stance for Roxy about her actions if nothing else. That wasn't something he wanted to be brought on this early in a relationship, as the last thing he wanted was this to end because of any sort of conflict. Maybe that was just the caution he had reinforced some from the time he had spent as healer thus far. Well he had figured that his caution was going to be helpful to a degree. He just hoped that ultimately it didn't prove to be an Achilles heel.

"That sounds like an amazing plan. Lead the way, love," he replied with a smile. It would be relaxing and at least keep them away from the main hustle and bustle of the Hogsmeade weekend. He wasn't sure how long he'd be able to hold up with a crowd around, as he noticed that crowds tended to drain more energy from a person than a small group or even just one person. That and the fact that Roxy had presented things in the form of a picnic made him really excited about it. Cause that was probably one of the most relaxing things he could think of doing if not for being next to a lake and relaxing that way. He had several ways to relax, but he preferred being by the lake, or being around Roxy, the latter being his favorite.

Roxy smiled and nodded "No doubt, everyones life is boring without me in it, its because im so awesome" she said smirking at the last part. She was only joking of course, not saying that she wasn't awesome because she was, it was just she didn't want to seem conceited. She was glad however that he didn't bring up seeing his friends. Its not that she didn't like them Aaron was cool, Mel had awesome prank spirit...a bit malicious but fun none the less, Matt however...yeah. She pushed the thoughts away and grabbed Kyle's hand and tugged gently.

"Sweet, it'll be fun, Nina's still on cloud nine from Austin's visit and now I have a better story" she said snickering, her a Nina gossiped about the "yumminess" for their boyfriends nonstop. Considering she was a sixteen, she felt like sleeping in the seventh years dorms for fun, that and her roommates had the habit of gossiping about her cousins, that was gross. No one wanted to hear about freddini's, Jame's or Albus's chest...gross.

"So hows work? I've been focusing more on my classes but history of magic is gonna kill me come OWLs."

"Oh I wouldn't go that far, love," he replied with a chuckle and a shake of his head. Granted he really didn't disagree that she was awesome, just a matter of figuring that not everyone saw it that way. Most people really had more of an inward focus on themselves and thought they were more awesome. Well, it was a matter of self-opinion and he figured that a good one was definitely healthier than a bad self-opinion. Trust him to think medically when he wasn't working that day. Well it could have been worse he supposed, as someone could have easily needed medical attention right then and there, which was still possible, but preferably highly unlikely. Kyle would much rather not have to work on his day off as then he'd be driven rather quickly towards madness and he did not want to go that route.

"Ah, I see. Bet that's all sorts of fun to chat about between the two of you," he replied with a chuckle and a shake of his head. He could almost say he didn't really understand that talking about guys thing girls did, but he remembered a number of times guys in his dorm were comparing different girls to each other and which one was probably the hottest and what not. Granted that had been over a year ago or so, but it was still fresh enough on his memory that he recalled it rather easily. Maybe he was eager to clear it from his memory, though he could hardly say for sure. Well, best not to worry about that for now. He'd end up going towards madness from that thought source as well.

"Work's good. Thankfully uneventful at times, but good. And it's good to hear you're doing well class wise, just try memorizing the history stuff. It's easier once you patiently read it and commit what you read to memory," he replied. Class work was only hard without studying.

Roxy raised her eyebrow and smirked "Oh? How far would you go?" the words slipped past her lips before she took interested in the color of her nails. She hadn't meant for the suggestive question to slip past her lips but Roxy wasn't exactly the most uptight person. She was extremely open and even if Kyle was her first kiss. She mentally screamed at herself for not being careful about what said. It hadn't yet occured to her that the reason for the slip up was she was more comfortable around him.

"Yeah, im planning their wedding when Austin askes her and im pretty sure they're gonna move in together, they're too cute together." Of course she had confided in the older girl that she was thinking about by getting serious with her potion skillls and getting a nine to five. Which was kind of scary considering when was the queen of pranking. She hadn't talked to anybody besides Nina about because she wasnt exactly sure.

"I have to stay awake during to studying, its hard, im pretty sure the books are spelled to suck the energy out of you" She bite her tongue at yet another thing that she could make a dirty comment about. She really needed to get her mind on track, work...school...foood. Those were the things she needed to think about, maybe snogging because it wasn't fair that Nina had all the good snogging stories.

"You know, that's a very suggestive question love. It could be taken as anything, but I suppose that depends on how you're asking it," he replied with an arched eyebrow and a grin. He wondered if Roxy actually knew about how her words could have been received, or if she had intended for him to catch just how suggestive her words really were. It was amusing to say the least, but he had to wait and see if she really had intended for it to be suggestive if he was going to know for sure on what she was going for. If he assumed he just invited trouble.

"Well that sounds like fun. Maybe consider wedding planner as a possible alternate career path?" he said with a snicker. He knew she wanted to do something with potions, yet you had to admit the idea of her being a wedding planner was amusing. Would she try and plan out her own wedding when that came around or would she willingly hand it off to someone else? Hard to really say for sure on that one though. He would have to see what happened when that time came around.

"Maybe so, but it's better to get through school rather than get side-tracked and thus stuck in school a lot longer than you'd really want to," he replied with a shrug. He hadn't caught any suggestiveness or dirty connotations in that one, but then again he wasn't really looking for any that time around. He was sure she wouldn't pile on innuendos and what not that many times if she was actually planning it, unless she was really being that way without meaning to. That would mean that she was comfortable enough to not have a filter, and he wondered briefly what that meant for the future.

Roxy was pretty sure her face was Weasley red as she looked at Kyle with wide eyes. If she hadn't meant it to be suggestive than she would've laughed it off. Years of having older cousins with hormones had cured her of any awkwardness. The problem was that she had meant it suggestively and he had called her out in and used word love, which now that she thought about it gave her butterflies. "Well it kind of was supposed to sound that way" how she manged to return her face to normal and smile innocently up at him was a mystery. Though the edges of her smile were awfully smirk like in nature her eyes danced with mischief.

" It'll probably be a side job, im thinking about getting an actual nine to five job as a potions mistress." She said with a shrug. She didn't want to tell him about looking into the St.mungos potions apprenticeship just yet. She didn't want him to think it was because of him, maybe it was..

"True, im droping it next year anyways, its just one more year" she said with a since of acceptance. She'd agreed as far as the being stuck at school, she couldnt wait to finally he a graduate and get her own flat. Of course she'd miss her childhood and what not but she wanted to be independent and free to do what she wanted.

"Oh of course it was supposed to sound that way, how else could it have sounded?" he replied with a humorously sarcastic tone and an impish grin on his face. He couldn't help but tease her on that for some reason. Maybe it was the fact that she almost seemed to suggest that she was interested in going far, where as he wasn't so sure he was wanting to until after he was married. Maybe it was a morality issue, or maybe it was because he didn't feel like he had the finances at the moment to risk a family.

"Locked in on that potions mistress thing eh? Where would you be setting up shop at?" he replied, curious. He was interested in finding out where she would be working, as there was a chance she'd be at St Mungos. That would be somewhat interesting, and he'd have to wonder if she was working there because of him, or if she was there because it was just the best place to be working at, which was likely. Well, both were equally likely, he just had to make sure what her reasoning was if she was going to try and work at St Mungos.

"Dropping school, eh? Are you sure that's what you want to do? You'd be the fourth Weasley to drop out just before finishing school. Well, fourth that I would know of anyways," he replied with a shrug. It was Roxy's call, and Kyle knew he couldn't try and force her to stay in school. If she felt like she wouldn't benefit from learning more about potions while still in school, that was her choice. He just hoped she knew that risk and was willing to work around it as would be necessary.

Roxy blushed and nudged him softly "Oh hush, it wasn't that bad" She said laughing as her face turned red yet again. It wasn't her fault that it had slipped out, she had to admit that her mind went there a bit more often then she would admit. Then again she was almost sixteen and things were different now then they were last year, as if she was going to slowly die from overload of emotions. Still what was implied was more than a bit scary not because of the risk but because she had heard a lot of stories of guys sleeping with a girl and then breaking up with them because they got what they wanted. It's not that she didn't trust him or anything, she was just a little worried because he was older than her by like three years.

"Well...i may or may not be looking at St.Mungos, I know they have a lot of openings because not a lot of people have the patience to become a potions masters. Plus i'd have to apprentice for a year or two. I'm figuring a summer internship every summer until i graduate from school should do the trick." She didn't want him to know why she was thinking about taking up a residency at St.Mungos because she wasn't incredibly sure. Even if they broke up it wouldn't be awkward because the likely hood they wqould be in the same ward was very small. Her eyes went wide at his next statement and she shook her head.

"No my mother would kill me, i simply meant that i'm Dropping history of magic next year, I don't want to be a historian or anything equally as boring and my dad's shop isn't really calling to me these days." She laughed and shook her head. She was pretty sure her mother would skin her alive for even thinking about dropping out. Her father mght be scarily okay with that but then again everyone figured she'd either be a Quidditch Player or work in the shop creating things with her father. She just kind of wanted to be her own person but she didn't have anybody she trusted enough to talk about it. She was still one of the best pranksters at Hogwarts and she took pride in that on the othr hand there was so much more to her than pranks, gossip and cute boys.
