This all started with a crush on Moaning Myrtle. Of all people! She was dead! For Merlin's sake, Aiden had temporarily fallen for a dead girl. The curse that Harmony put on him still surfaced now and then and in the worst of ways. He actually told Moaning Myrtle that he liked her and he ended up in the giant bathtub in the prefect bathroom, waiting for her. Naked.
When she showed up in the bathroom they talked for a bit before his senses came back and he told her to leave. He was nice about it. Tremendously nice considering he realized how precarious his situation was with his clothes hung up behind her and how easy she was to offend.
Yeah, she got very cross with him and took his clothes. Every stitch of them was probably being flushed down the toilet as he sat there in the bubbles wondering what to do next. He knew one thing for sure. If he were headed for detention or a nasty bout of teasing, he was never admitting he was lovey dovey with Moaning Myrtle. If anyone knew Harmony's curse was still affecting him he'd be shipped back to St. Mungos and that was a fate worse that finding his way back to Hufflepuff without any clothes on.
In the meantime, he sat thinking and making sure the bubbles from the bubble bath kept him well covered. Who ever walked in on him was seeing nothing and Aiden was prepared to keep this going as long as he could.

Alexis waited til an hour before curfew to sneak up to the prefects bathroom on the fifth floor. Hoping that no one had changed the password since her last visit, she seriously wanted just to sit in the hot water and think about things that had happened recently. She couldn't get any peace in the Gryffindor common room because he might be there, and the girls wouldn't leave her alone in her dorm. It was either this or walking among the grounds at night or this and with flitters of gossip mentioning a vampire in the Forest, Alexis wasn't stupid enough to do that alone. The giant bathroom was her only salvation. She didn't want to be disturbed anymore today. She wanted to be ALONE. Why no one could understand that was beyond her.
She only had her bathrobe on under her house cloak, which was dark red and silky, coming to her knees and it had a bad habit of slipping off her shoulders. If anyone would ask why she was holding the cloak so close to her body she'd just say she was cold. It covered up most of her legs anyway. Stopping in front of the door to the private bath she whispered the password, delighted when the door unlocked for her, and she pushed the door open. She had to get used to the dim light and it smelled like someone had used some of the heavier perfumed soap bubbles but she couldn't see anyone so she figured they were long gone.
Dropping her cloak she grabbed a fluffy towel out of the cabinet off to the left and turned around to drop the towel and yanked the knot loose on her robe when she the someone in the bath, staring at her. Shrieking "SHIT!" in surprise she grabbed the edges of her robe to make sure nothing was showing but it slipped off her shoulder anyway. If she had flashed Aiden, that would have been beyond awkward. "What are you doing skulking around in the baths?"

Aiden hadn't heard her come in. He probably should have been more aware of her but he was having the thought that Moaning Myrtle could come back and he ought to protect himself however one could against a ghost.
It was at that moment he looked up and saw Alexis. A lot more of Alexis than he'd seen before. He couldn't be sure how much he saw but he was positive he saw things he wasn't supposed to see. Aiden was slightly reassured that he now wasn't the only one having a positively dreadful evening. There was a Alexis to share it with.
One hand that he could afford to move out from under the bubbles flew up in front of his eyes but it was way too late not to look at her. "I'm sorry. I wasn't skulking. I was just sitting here. I'm sorry. I saw nothing. I swear. Honest."
(ooc- lol! Would she move closer to him for any reason? His lips need some warming up. lol)

Alexi's face turned almost as red as her robe. "Oh you liar!" Why didn't you say something when I came in?!" she felt like screaming and crying at the same time out of embarrassment and annoyance. "Freaking liar!" she fumed, trying to tie her sash on the robe as tight as she could but it kept sliding down her shoulder since it was too wide for her there. Crossing her arms over her chest she glared at him "Well come on, get out. I came up here for a bath, ALONE, and you're ruining my night. The bubbles are almost gone anyway."
When he didn't move she huffed slightly and walked over, grabbing his arm that was still out of the water. "Come on. GET OUT!" she tugged on his arm once and then one more time before her foot slipped on the tile and she fell forward, yelping in surprise. She barely registered that she'd fallen ON Aiden as she went headfirst into the tub. Lucky enough not to knock her head against anything, she came up sputtering and coughing up bubbles, growling. Swearing loudly she grabbed onto the edge of the tub, yanking the shoulder of her robe up once again and she pushed her hair back out of her face glaring daggers at Aiden and just daring him silent to laugh. She'd tear him a new one.
(ooc: how's that close for ya? lmao XD)

He was stunned when she tried to lift him out. He wasn't going to let her do it, not while he was completely naked under the bubbles so he attempted to fight back as best he could. He rufused to let this evening get any worse than it was. He wanted a little bit of dignity left and Alexis brutishly trying to toss him out and his bare butt.
Then she fell in on top of him and his face turned a bright red. He didn't want to see her get hurt but he was sure that parts of her were close to parts of him and somewhere in all this shuffling and splashing, they knew a lot more about each other than they had before. She came up out of the water glaring at him and he wanted to shrink away from her but there was no where to run. No where to go.
And then surprized himself by getting just as angry as she looked. "I did not lie to you." He said in a very seething tone. "I wasn't skulking here. I am, in fact, having the most ridiculously awful night of my life right now. You've just gone and made the drama so much more worse than it was. If you want a decent bath there's a lake right outside. I got here first."
He was waiting for her to leave and hoped she would. Never, ever in his life had he ever been so angry and actually expressed it. Alexis had no right to sit there so wet and angry. Her eyes... her eyes were sparkling. As Aiden glared right back at her with the same intensity she was at him, his brain starting to tingle the way it did when the love spell was relapsing.
If she had anything to say, anything at all that kept her in this bath water and in his face... he'd... he'd... he'd kiss her so much.

Alexis was more annoyed that she had fallen in now than Aiden being in the tub in the first place. "Fine.. you didn't lie. But you still could have at least said something when I came in!" She held onto the side of the tub, her feet barely touching the bottom.
She was quiet for a moment before looking at him with a little less irritation than before "Why were you having a bad night?" she ignored his comment about taking a bath in the lake, it was both winter and the whole thing was still pretty damn dirty and gross with the Squid in it lurking about someplace.
She hadn't quite started to get out yet, wanting to hear what his dilemma was exactly about. "And where are your clothes anyway?" she asked absentmindedly, glancing around the room again before looking at him.

He shook his head. That tingly feeling was coming back. The one that made him fall in love with everyone but Harmony. These feelings never lasted long but they always made him do really dumb things. Aiden needed the engery to sort this out so he did his best to block the tinging.
"My clothes are gone. I think Peeves took them. I'm not sure." Blaming Peeves was better than the truth. Who in their right mind would try to woo Moaning Myrtle. That was insane. "But they are gone and I'm stranded. I really didn't hear you come in. Honest."
Aiden's tingling was getting worse. He couldn't help it. He wanted to be angry at her because of her accusations but Alexis looked like the muggle idea of a mermaid: Gorgeous, with cascading wet hair, the possibility of nudity. Aiden couldn't help it. His anger melted into lust and he used two hands to suddenly pull her towards him and steal a kiss from her.

"Why would Peeves be in here stealing clothes?" she wondered out loud, and semi directing the question at Aiden. She doubted it was Peeves.. she'd never heard of him being in the prefects baths of all places, but then again you never know. She pushed more hair out of her face looking at him quietly for a moment.
"All right.." she gave in finally, giving in that it was a probability that he didn't even see her if she never saw him in the first place. She sighed softly not enjoying their predicament at all so she started to lift herself up out of the tub in the floor. "I'll just..oh!" She trailed off, making a surprised noise in the back of her throat as she was yanked towards him. She barely had time to register what was happening before Aiden's lips were pressed against her own.
WHOA! This wasn't right. She had kissed him back without thinking before her brain told her to stop it. She pushed on Aiden's shoulders and leaned her upper body away from his. "Hold on, here!" she said loudly, keeping her hands on his shoulders to keep the distance. She couldn't get out of his arm lock and was still stuck against him below the chest, which was embarrassing enough but to get snogged out of the blue was just icing on the awkward cake.
Looking him in the eye she could tell that there was something wild and so unlike him she figured he probably wasn't all there. Not really at least. Maybe this was some sort of re-lapse from the love potion with Harmony? If he snogged her on his own accord then Alexis might not be so forgiving. She wasn't the kind of girl to hop into bed automatically. She raised her eyebrows at him, waiting for him to react.

He rubbed her soapy hands where they were touching him and he smiled. "Want to play marco polo? It's a muggle game. You close your eyes and feel around for me under the bubbles." Aiden got very excited about the idea of this before reality suddenly hit him like the Hogwarts Express. What had he just said? What had he done to her? How far was he about to take this with her?
He pulled his hands off of her and paled. Aiden wanted to be sick. Very, very sick. "I- I'm so sorry. I didn't mean that. I was-"
Aiden felt this meant going back to St. Mungos. Once Alexis told anyone about this, Aiden would probably get a room in the hospital right next to his dad. Maybe even with his dad. Aiden could sleep on the top bunk and they could invite Rita Skeeter over for sleepovers and front page exclusives about Aiden kissing girls in the bathtub at school while he was naked because he was hoping to do that Moaning Myrtle.
"That was a mistake. Please don't tell anyone."

She stared at him, confuse written all over her face and she tried hard not to laugh at him bringing up Marco Polo, that was pretty amusing that he'd bring that up. "I know what it is.. but, no I don't want to play." she said, sliding back away from him when he finally released her waist. Seeing his face, she bit her lip feeling horrible for him since he probably was hoping he could disappear or just disappear under the bubbles and never come back up for air.
"I know.. I know. It's fine. It's just one of those.. things" she said quickly, reaching out a hand to put on his shoulder but she stopped herself since he was looking like he might vomit. Even though she was kind of the victim here, Aiden was a bigger one because of what Harmony did to him with that ridiculous love potion. Alexis was 90% sure that this had to do with that.
"I'm not going to tell anyone, scouts honor" she held up a couple of fingers on her right hand, looking him in the eye when she said it, hoping he'd know she wasn't bluffing. "Come on..we better get out before.. well" she blushed slightly and climbed out of the tub, grabbing a huge towel and wrapping it around herself. "You should get out, Aiden.. and go get some sleep." she knew he didn't have any clothing but if he'd get out of the tub it'd make things slightly easier if he wasn't totally naked under the bubbles that were disappearing.
