"Because," he answered simply, "you would have had an awfully difficult time hooking me up with her. I think... that you would have been tormented by some ethical issues."

Finally, he turned to glance at her, his smile soft and relaxed.[/size]

[size=1]Glenn's eyebrows shot up. "Ethical issues?" she asked. "What, is she a minor or something, Merlin, Tree, I didn't realize you were like that?"

But all of a sudden she smiled - because she had this faint inkling of an idea of who he was talking about. And that made her shiver - as did the way he looked at her. [/size]

In that moment, Tree threw caution to the wind. He was sick of being quiet and alone and always on the outside and... just once, he wanted to be reckless. Do something that he might regret if he wasn't careful.

He gently put a hand on Glenn's cheek and touched his lips to hers- barely a kiss, really, but... it was a big step for him.

"Ethical issues," he repeated gently, slipping his hand away. [/size]

[size=1]She just blinked. Had he really...just kissed her? It was light, so soft that if she wasn't so sure of what he'd done, she would have doubted it.

"Tree..." she said, softly. "I'm eighteen." But she didn't want to say that - she wished she hadn't, and instead of letting it bother her, she reached out to take the hand he'd pulled away from her cheek.

"I can see what you mean..."[/size]

"Tell me not to," he answered, slowly rubbing the back of her hand with his thumb. "Tell me not to kiss you and I won't. Tell me to leave- I will in an instant. This is your choice, Glenn, okay?"[/size]

[size=1]She was quiet a moment, thinking about everything that'd gone on between them in the past several days. She could say no - and lose him, probably, which she didn't want. She looked at him, glanced down at his hand holding hers, and then knew.

"But I want you to," she said quietly. "I'm not going to say no to something I want..." She moved a fraction of an inch closer to him. [/size]

He took this as a sign to slowly kiss her again, though for rather a lot longer this time. He drew away sharply, though, and asked, "Is this okay? I'm too old for you.. But is this okay with you?"[/size]

[size=1]She was enjoying kissing him again, and was slightly annoyed when he pulled away to question her decision. "Yes, I'm okay with it," she said firmly, and kissed him again, more fiercely than before, standing up and pulling him with her.

"Are you okay with it?" she whispered. [/size]

He grinned sheepishly. "This is the most... okay... thing that's happened to me in a long, long time, Glenn," he said simply, returning her kiss and smiling slightly against her lips.

This isn't a good idea, a nagging little voice from his conscience whispered- but he ignored it.[/size]

[size=1]Glenn nodded. "Alright, we agree," she said, leaning in against him and slipping her fingers underneath the edges of his shirt. "Now what?" She didn't feel like behaving, honestly - she just wanted to do what she felt like.

"We could always go upstairs..." She could hardly believe she was suggesting it, in a hushed voice. [/size]

He winced. "Glenn, that can't be a good ide-"

And then he stopped himself. They both obviously wanted to... go upstairs, so perhaps it wasn't the worst possible thing they could do. She was eighteen, at least, so it wasn't illegal...

... but she was eighteen...!

He pushed the thought from his mind and nodded, slowly beginning to slide the strap of her nightgown off one shoulder. "That sounds good," he said quietly, smiling slightly.[/size]

[size=1]She didn't even stop to consider the fact that he was older than her. It felt right, she wanted to, and she trusted him - she knew he wasn't going to intentionally hurt her. So she was okay with what she was doing.

"Settled," she said, reaching a hand up to undo the top several buttons of his shirt, moving them both towards the stairs. "And so we go..." [/size]

He kissed her more fiercely, and much more passionately than before, putting one hand on the back of her head as they paused.

At some point, he simply stopped thinking. It was easier that way, when all he wanted was to give up- to surrender to himself and to her.[/size]

[size=1]Glenn stopped trying to do anything and just did. All she knew was that somehow, they made it up the stairs and down the hall to Tree's bedroom, and then in the doorway and into the bed. She knew her nightgown was tossed haphazardly over his chair, and his pants were on the floor. She just kept kissing him and surrendered to the total daze of being with him.

Tree woke up suddenly, feeling Glenn's warm little body curled up against him. For a moment, he simply smiled, but then realized...

He had slept with Glenn. Slept. With. Glenn.

She was eighteen. What was he becoming, some sort of desperate pervert? You're not supposed to sleep with people nine years younger than you- he definitely knew that. Quietly, he slipped out of bed and dressed, silently leaving his flat.

He didn't know what to do, or where to go... but after a moment, he settled on going to see his sister. She could help him set himself straight, couldn't she?

[size=1]When Glenn opened her eyes, she was alone. At first, even though her surroundings were unfamiliar, the fact that she was by herself led her to believe it'd all been a dream – Tree, everything. But then, as she blinked, and looked around her, she realized that this was Tree's bedroom – it was definitely not hers. She sat up, pulling the quilt up with her, looking around to see if he was in the room. He was not.

She got out of bed, dragging a blanket with her, and slipped her nightgown back on. He didn't have a hairbrush anywhere – which was just perfect. She managed to find her wand, though, half-rolled under the bed. Then, making herself presentable, she stepped into her slippers and headed down the hall and down the stairs. “Tree?” she asked.

A sinking feeling filled her stomach, replacing the warmth she'd felt upon waking up – he wasn't there, a search quickly proved it. That meant he'd left – which meant he had a problem with something. Most likely her age. She hadn't really thought about it up to that point, and then she just sort of stood, in the middle of his living room.

She'd slept with someone ridiculously older than her – enough older that he hadn't even been in Hogwarts when she started. And then he'd left her, without any sort of an explanation. It was awful, the way that made her feel – rejected, vulnerable. Had he planned it all along? She hadn't even known him more than a week, why had she jumped to trust him?

Blinking back angry tears, she apparated back to her house without another word. [/size]

Tree apparated into his flat, flicking on the lights tiredly. He was worried- about Blu and also about Glenn, for some reason.

"Well," he began, but trailed off. He didn't really know what he had intended to say, anyways.[/size]

[size=1]She wanted to say something, anything at all. But the minute she was in his flat again...she was thinking. It'd all happened here, and she was scared. The certainty she'd felt in Mungo's was gone.

"Well what?" she asked, quietly, staying where she was, staring at - focusing on - one spot on the floor. She didn't know what to say to him. [/size]

"Are you okay?" he asked, pulling her into his arms. "You look... you look scared, Glenn. I would never hurt you, Glenn."[/size]

[size=1]She shook her head, and hid her face in his chest. "You already did," she said, letting herself cry - she hadn't realized she had any tears left.

"I know you explained everyting to me but I still don't...you can't erase how I felt, how I feel..." It was so hard, to wonder what was going through his mind. [/size]
