He was grateful she seemed forgiving about what he did and nearly did to her but maybe she was just feeling stunned by the events that just occured. She could get up in the morning and go straight to McGonagall with it. She wouldn't have to prove it really happened. At this point, he'd feel sorry enough to admit to it. But he wasn't going to St. Mungos. No matter what.
He looked around for clothes. It wasn't to cover himself from her. By now he was positive she'd gotten a good look at everything. Obviously the only clothes around were hers. Maybe she'd spare something. He'd take anything she was willing to give him. He was perfectly willing to get to bed but he'd have to make his wayt through the halls to get to Hufflepuff first.
But before he asked for her to spare something, he felt he needed to further explain what happened. "I'm getting better." He kept his eyes on the fading bubbles and spoke sullenly. ""This was nothing. Really. I stopped myself from being really awful to you." His eyes lifted sadly up to her. "That's the truth."

Lex listened quietly to his explanation and she smiled slightly, grabbing another towel and she set it down near him so he could get out of the tub at least. "Thanks for not completely ravishing me then, I might of had to hex you into next week." she said in a teasing tone but as soon as she said it, she felt a little bad since her joke would probably fall on deaf and embarrassed ears. Besides, her wand would have been across the room, most likely she'd have to resort to being physical to make him stop if he went any further.
She went over to where she'd brought a few pieces of clothing and was glad that she'd brought a pair of flannel pj bottoms that were really mens since she liked them better than any of the ones at the store that day. "I think these might fit you.." she said holding them up and glancing at Aiden again to see what he thought.
"That's all I have that would fit you, I think." she murmured, picking up her little tank top she'd wear to bed since that was the only other piece of clothing besides her cloak she'd brought with her. She figured she'd just dry off her robe the best she could with a drying spell before heading back to Gryffindor tower.

"Thanks. I appreciate this." He took the flannel pajama bottoms and looked them over a little. Insult to injury, they were a bit girly. Then again, how was he entitled to be in any way picky? He was lucky she wasn't screaming and bringing half the school in here. "You've no idea how much I appreciate this."
Aiden sat in the tub for a second, just thinking. He trusted Alexis. So far she wasn't running from him. She made jokes about his circumstances and he felt reasonably confident they weren't mean jokes or pity. She was so understanding. He hadn't really encountered anyone yet who was this understanding. It had to mean something. He had to hold onto that, right? A real friend would be nice.
"Sorry to ruin your plans. Looks like you had some really fun and relaxing plans. I thought I did too." Sort of. More like plans that involved something hideous with a dead girl. "It's kind of you to let me wear these and you won't tell anyone about what a fool I was to you."
Aiden glanced up at the cieling. Why was he rambling and not running? He liked her. That was it. In the short time he'd known her, she was a very sweet girl and he liked her. And not the relapsing "like." Real like.
"You know, I can go, if you want me too. I'll get dressed and leave and then you can salvage some part of your evening."
(ooc- I think I have an idea here if you're up for it.)

"It's no problem, really" she said, watching him look over the pj bottoms for a moment before she picked up her wand, murmuring the drying spell to start drying her robe off. The last thing she wanted was to catch a cold trying to go through Hogwarts in wet clothes in the drafty hallways. Nor did she want Peeves to interrogate her if she happened to run across him on her way back to the dorms. That would just be one more disaster to add to the list of them tonight.
"Relaxing yes, fun, not really" she said, glancing over at him again while still bent over a little to dry her clothes. "I was just going to sit in a bath and think, so it wouldn't be too much fun, but you didn't ruin anything. I can turn into a prune any day of the week really." she smiled, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. She was really glad that Aiden was sorry for jumping her, and she was surprised with herself for being this understanding. She was quick to jump to conclusions sometimes about peoples intentions but she'd been working on that and with Aiden's back story she'd taken the high road to let him explain himself. She wasn't quite sure why that was happening, seems like there's just one more thing to think about another time.
Shaking her head a bit to make her thoughts stop since she heard him talking again she looked at him and straightened back up. "No, it's okay. I'll just come back another evening or just take a shower normally" she said grinning a little and biting her lip. "I can walk with you down to Hufflepuff's common room if you want me to. Just incase Peeves comes around or something." she added the latter as almost an after thought, but if he wanted her to come with him she wouldn't mind.
(ooc: sure :] PM me if you want)

He felt bad for ruining her plans. It wasn't fair to her. She was so kind. He could make it up to her in some way. There had to be something he could do to thank her for her kindness and something that wouldn't put her off in way shape or form.
"Okay. Sure. In case Peeves returns." Aiden nodded. He'd almost forgotten about his lie. In all the kissing, he'd nearly forgotten lots of things but he had to pull himself together again. "Thanks. Walking me back to Hufflepuff would be very gracious of you." She was so nicer. Nicer than she ought to be after all this.
"Um, if you could turn around a moment, I'll put the pajama bottoms on." He cleared his throat and waited for her to watch the opposite wall.
(ooc- Sorry for being so short. I think I need to adjust my idea before I present it. LOL. I hit a snag.)

Alexis didn't feel like her plans were ruined at all, a complete turn of events happened but they weren't exactly horrible by any means. Even though she kept saying it was okay, Aiden obviously thought otherwise and that made her feel bad for him and a little responsible for tonights events. She should have just gone when she realized he was in the bath, but then he would have been stranded without any clothes and even though he'd snogged her out of his habit from the love potion remnants, at least he had some kind of clothing now.
She laughed softly when he asked her to turn around, thinking it was amusing since she had pretty much seen him and he'd seen most of her. "Yeah, okay" she said smiling and she turned her back on him even closing her eyes incase Aiden peeked at her face.
(ooc: aw okies.. :])

After she turned her back, Aiden finally left the bubbly water and at a good time too. The bubbles were fading. Another 10 minutes and he could be sure he was exposed. He put on the pajama bottoms and could finally, sort of, face the world again. Of course, this had the possibility of looking like they were up to something. If anyone caught them in the halls together, rumors could start to fly. If Moaning Myrtle heard these rumors, he was as dead as she was.
With her back turned, he thought about thanking her again but he caught sight of her wet, blonde hair. She had such nice hair. He'd amost, maybe, sort of seen her naked. His brain was starting to tingle again. No. Not now!!! Too late.
His barefeet made no sound as he came up behind her, the taste of her lips still on his. He reached out and touched her hair. "What were you going to wash your hair with? Rose scented shampoo is my favorite."

As she waited she started to quietly hum to herself, running her fingers through the front part of her hair to try and get some of the tangles out. She could hear Aiden get out of the tub and shuffling around for a few minutes until he was dressed in the pajama bottoms. She almost glanced back to make sure he hadn't escaped just yet but then she felt fingers in her hair and heard his voice.
Biting her bottom lip from surprise she barely jumped, looking over her shoulder at him. "I like the rose scented too, but I just have this passion fruit kind today." she said pointing to where the bottle was sitting on the bench next to her towel she'd tossed there after using it. Still having her wand in hand she tapped the end of it lightly against her lips like she was thinking while she looked at him, he started to have that slightly odd look in his face again like he did before kissing her. "Aiden.." she started softly, slowly stepping away from him to put space between them, not like she wanted him to leave her alone, but she had an idea of how to help him get over this little relapse from the spell. "I think we should just get you back to the common room" she said it while smiling a little, not wanting Aiden to think like she just wanted to get rid of him.
On the contrary, for whatever reason(part being she liked him a little) she wanted to help him with this even if the sudden attention was flattering she still felt bad that he was doing it out of impulse and not out of his own feelings that he could control. She reached to touch his forearm lightly, looking over at the door "Come on.." she picked up her shampoo and found her little slipper-like shoes to pull on since she was ready to leave to make sure Aiden got back to his room safely.

Was she playing with him? Aiden liked these games. He pulled her closer and a new smile crossed his lips. Not the flashy one. A mischevious one. Only this spell brought out this side of him. Otherwise he was too nervous to to do something wrong. Aiden was attempting all sorts of wrong right now.
"Kiss me again. You did kiss me back. I felt it. I felt your heartbeat. I feel it now. It beats faster for me." He had seen those lines in a muggle movie and in his right mind they would have been completely cheesy but in this state he meant them.
"You've never known true love before. I can feel that too. That's painful to me. Let me show you what love is."

Oh Merlin.. Alexis bit her lips hard to bite back the laugh that wanted to come out. She might as well toss him off a cliff if she laughed. So instead she just grinned a little at the cheesy muggle line. It sounded like some old movie that her dad would watch. One of those old love story movies with Marlon Brando or something. ”Aiden.. come on..” she wasn’t going to let him kiss her again right now and she gently pushed on his chest to keep some distance between them.
Alexis blushed slightly when he said he knew she’d kissed him back. She had been hoping that maybe he didn’t notice that in his state of mind. He was right at least on one account.. she didn’t know what true love was. She thought maybe she had it before but she wasn’t able to explore that enough to really understand what it was. Plus she was only fourteen.. what girl of fourteen knows what love is? She shook her head a little, reaching behind her to pull on Aiden’s wrists to get out of his arms. ”Let’s just get you back to Hufflepuff, okay?” she said looking at him not wanting to freak him out if he snapped out of this suddenly. It wasn’t his fault. Damn that Harmony girl, she was such a pain then and even worse now with Aiden’s emotions gone awry.
