Open RP post! Do you want to continue a thread from bakerstreet? Start a new one? Ask me for a crazy AU? I'm open to cross-canon AUs and rp with any castmates! Have an HP OC? I'm down for that too! If you want something just go ahead and ask, and I don't have to know you to want to RP with you. I don't bite!

I didn't hear the door! I'm only saying it's not like I did it on purpose, I know you didn't either!

[oh. he doesn't think it looks ridiculous?]

Heh, yeah well, I already know green's my color, right?

[oh, he's grabbing Scorpius' hand?? and offering to do it for him???]

Uh, alright. Thanks! That'd be really nice, I think, I mean, you'll probably do a better job than what I could do on my own. [Will he ever not ramble

Albus is concentrating so hard on it, and he's still holding his hand, and Scorpius is really really glad he's not looking up because there is no hiding a blush on a face like his. He can only hope it'll have faded before Albus looks up again.]

Did Lily ever get you to do hers, or are you just as clueless as I am? I mean, you're doing a really good job! Please don't think I'm complaining or anything! I was just curious if you've had any practice. [He's very careful to keep his hand still, despite the fact that he can't seem to shut himself up.]

[whereagainst]

Mmhm. Excuses.

[ he's teasing.

it's slow going - he wants it to look nice and that means he has to be careful, which definitely isn't his thing really, but it also means scorpius is safe from getting outed for blushing for the time being. he chews on his lip, finally shaking his head at the question. ]

No, not really. I mean I've seen it done, and I know the polish goes on the nail only, but that's about it.

[ which is really more than some people can say. when he finally glances up he smiles, letting go but holding out his hand expectantly. ]

Give me your other hand.

[ oh, it's going to be both? well, okay. ]

[Merlin, but he's cute when he's focused like that. It always feels so nice to have that intense focus on him.]

I suppose that's all you really need to know, right?

[Albus finishes with the first hand and Scorpius looks over his work, grinning. It's really much better than he'd been able to do on his own, even with as inexperienced as Albus is. He's not as surprised as he might have been when Albus demands his other hand, but he's always been thorough, hasn't he?

Scorpius gives him his left hand, trying not to get flustered all over again from it.] It looks brilliant. Thank you, though now I'm going to make you do this every time I want to wear it, you know that, right?

[whereagainst]

I suppose. Makes sense.

[ he takes scorpius' other hand and starts on that one too with a low hum in the back of his throat. he doesn't mind the task despite its mundane nature: being this close to scorpius is nice, even if he's not going to say that part aloud. he lets himself grin at the compliment, shrugging as he continues. ]

I can add it to my CV. It'll look good next to potionsmaking. My two skills. [ a beat, and then: ] I don't mind. It's not like it's a big deal.

[ when he's finally done he grasps onto scorpius' hand and kisses the back of it over-dramatically before letting him go and closing the bottle, flopping back on the bed. ] There you go, your highness.

[engorgimpressed]

I don't see why you can't go on to combine the two skills. Open a nail salon and make your own proprietary magical nail polish blends. [Their usual banter helps him feel a little less flustered. At least until Albus has to be all dramatic and kiss the back of his hand and well, there goes all his effort in trying not to blush again.

At least Albus still isn't looking, flopped onto the bed as he is.

Letting out a nervous sort of giggle, he nudges Albus' side with a foot in a weak imitation of a kick.] Oi, that's Scorpion King to you, Potter.

[The hand that's dried is splayed out on the bedspread and he looks down at it, feeling himself smile wider at the sight. He really does like the way it looks, having his nails painted. And this was a simple thing, just one solid color. He'd have to get something more interesting for next time.]
