Gwen and Bobby
Gwen knocked on Bobby's door. He opened it, blinking the sleep from his eyes.
"I've just... you know."
Bobby nodded. "You're going."
"Yeah." Gwen's eyes filled with tears and Bobby wrapped her in a hug.
"Hey, we'll still see each other?" he whispered.
"Of course we will..." Gwen hugged him tightly then kissed his cheek. "I better..."
"Yeah, I'll call you, ok?" Bobby kissed her head and reluctantly let her go.
"Be in touch. See ya, Bobby." Gwen gave a final wave and headed to Mordred's room.
"Ok... you can do this." Gwen knocked tentatively on Mordred's door and held her breath while waiting for him to open it.
Mordred
Mordred rolled out of bed and rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he staggered towards the door. "J'st a minute," he said, and then dripped over a heap pf clothes Octavian had left out. "OW! Octavian, I swear to God, I will kill you later." Octavian just raised his hand from his bed. Mordred opened the door, swearing under his breath. "Gwen!" He didn't say anohter word while he hugged her to his chest. "I'm gonna miss ya like mad..."
Gwen
Gwen wrapped her arms tightly around Mordred's waist.
"It'll be ok... we'll see each other all the time," Gwen sniffed, trying to be brave about it. She leaned up and kissed him.
"I love you."
Mordred
"I love you too, my darling beautiful one..." Mordred mumured into her ear. "And isn't it handy that I can 'port, hmmm?"
Gwen
"It is... you up to porting me home?" Gwen asked sadly. She hugged him again, taking in the feel of his body and his smell.
Mordred
"Yeah, but I don't want to. Want to keep you here forever where I can see you every day." Mordred kissed her neck. "But the prof has given you your marching orders."
Gwen
"Yep... so this is it." Gwen frowned and bent to pick her bag up, then kissed Mordred again. "But we'll survive... we have so far."
Mordred
"Yeah, good point." Mordred rubbed his forehead, willing the tears back out of his eyes. "So, where do you want to go? Your house, or the Hotel?"
Gwen
"My house. Thanks." Gwen choked back a sob and held tightly onto Mordred's hand.
Mordred
Mordred nodded, not trusting his voice and 'ported to her bedroom. "I s'pose this is goodbye then for a bit..." He swallowed tightly.
Gwen
"I guess it's like a bandaid. You know, do it quickly, or you're never going to do it."
Gwen put her bag down on her bed and kissed him again.
"So... um... oh god, this is hard..."
Mordred
Mordred kisssed her again, hard and desperate. "I love you so much it tears me apart." His hands settled on her hips, careful not to grip hard enough to bruise. "I don't want to go. Don't want to leave you here. Screw Xavier."
Gwen
"Come on, baby, we knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Of course, I was hoping it would be later rather than sooner... but..."
Gwen wrapped her arms around him. "I spose... will it make it harder if I asked you to stay the day with me?"
Mordred
"God, how I want to...but I better go. I love you." Mordred kissed her again. "I don't think I could ever leave if I thought about it too much."
Gwen
Gwen nodded and kissed him.
"I know... but I'll see you soon. I love you."
Mordred
"Love you, my beautiful angel." Mordred breathed in her scent, then stepped back and 'ported back to his bedroom. His stance told Octavian not to say a word.
