Meet::my::other::side[the::soft::side]--{{Kia}}

[Tucker Pierce]

Tucker walked quickly through the crowd, pushing many out of his way. He ignored the pleads that his friends gave him, to go hang. He couldn't 'hang' at that precise moment. His little two year old sister, Claire, was being baby sat by his roommate at the very moment. He had been at a DE meeting, and he couldn't just take Claire with him, or even leave her alone. He wasn't THAT bad at taking care of her. Or at least he didn't think he was that bad... he hadn't been told he was a bad older brother, raising Claire all by himself. Of course with the accept-ion of his friends helping him on occasion. He loved his friends dearly. Especially Corliss, and Kia.

Finally, Tuck entered the Slytherin Common Room after he had whispered the password quietly. He ran up to his dorm, cracking the door open quietly in case Claire was asleep. Luckily she wasn't, so he entered quickly closing the door behind him softly. He walked up to his roommate who was, Keaton Hungerbear. "Thanks man, you can go now if you need to." He talked quietly, just as Claire looked at him, her dark brown eyes growing wide. She raised her hands up to him, begging to be held by Tuck. "Bubba..." Her voice was cute and quiet, as she instantly got what she wanted.

Tucker grabbed Claire softly, cradling her in his arms. He sat on the bed, reaching in his back pocket for the ten dollars. He handed it to Keaton, as he scampered off quickly. Tuck looked softly, and tenderly at Claire as she chewed on her toy. His strong, scary expression turned immediately soft, and his eyes grew warm and loving. This was the other side of Tucker Rye Pierce. He no longer looked scary, but instead actually approachable. He laid down on his bed, cradling the tiny child to his buff chest. He smiled at her as he began playing a game of 'peek-a-boo!' with her. She giggled uncontrollably at him, a beautiful glint in her eyes.

[Kianthra Lestrange]

The crowds parted as a blond haired Slytherin walked by, by the name of Kianthra. Kianthra, a name which envoked fear into the hearts of little first years unfortunate enough to cross her path. The meeting had wrapped it quickly, but she had stayed behind to discuss a few details with Charlotte, seeing as though Scorpius seemed to be taking a more back seat role. Charlotte's right hand girl had a lot on her plate at the moment, with a new plan to begin only a few days later, she was slightly under pressure. She entered the common room, receiving nods from a few of her fellow DE members who had already made it back from the meeting. There was no sign of Corliss or Nikita, they must have gone somewhere else.

Resisting the urge to just flop on the sofas, she walked quietly along to the girls dormatories, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone. Truth be told, she was drained, on the verge of breaking, split between three guys, unsure which way to turn. She pulled on some black joggers. her favourite pair of purple socks and a simple white hoody with her initials on the back. Instantly she felt more calm, calm enough to return to the common room. She grabbed the dark green blanket from her bed and set off back to the common room.

She lay down on the sofa nearest the fire, the soft green blanket covering all of her except her face and blonde hair. She smiled as she stared at the flames, trying to relax. The common room had gone quiet, everyone obviously knew that now was not the time to start a raucous game of wizard's chess. She sighed contentedly and her eyes flicked closed.

[Tucker Pierce]

Tucker laughed along with Claire, thinking nothing about Kia. He had a crush on her, but was afraid that she didn't feel the same. He laid his little sister down next to him, sitting up as she chewed on her chew toy, roughly. He leaned back against the wall, sighing softly. He jumped off of the bed suddenly as Claire began to cry. He grabbed her in one strong arm, cradling her against his bicep. He bent down in front of his mini fridge that worked on a battery. Very weird indeed, but his roommate had found it for him. He opened it quickly, grabbing the milk, and the baby bottle on top of the fridge. He found baby formula, also in the fridge, and began pouring the ingredients together. He closed the lid shaking it roughly in one hand.

After the contents in the bottle were mixed thoroughly he stuck the bottle to Claire's mouth, and she gulped it down quickly. He held her head up, while also holding the bottle to where she wouldn't gag herself. He patted her back after she finished the liquid. He laid back down on his bed, cradling her next to him. She fell asleep instantly, and he pushed himself off of the bed quickly, going to the bathroom to wash out the baby bottle. Tucker peeked outside of the room, grabbing his friend Jason, whom he knew very well. He pulled him inside of the room, whispering quietly, "Hey, Jas... do you mind watching Claire while I go down to the Common Room for a second... I need to find someone." He asked kindly, as Jason nodded his head ever-so gently.

Tucker ran out of his room, walking quickly down the stairs, to find none other than Kianthra Lestrange. He sat down by her feet, tickling them softly. "Hey... wanna come help me with Claire? She'll be waking up soon anyways. She never takes long naps. Give her about five minutes and she'll be ready to go." He smiled at Kia softly. He then jumped up suddenly, grabbing her by the waist. He draped her over his shoulder, and began walking back to his room. He opened the door quietly, sitting Kia down on the bed. He thanked Jason, looking back at Kia with a wide grin spread across his tanned face.

[Kianthra Lestrange]

Kia was soon asleep, the warmth of the fire having quickly sped her into deep sleep. She saw three figures standing before her, all dressed emerald green robes. As the dream-Kia took a step closer, the faces of the three figures became illuminated in the glow of the moon, which was shining high above them. She was standing by the Lake, her three weaknesses stood before her. Aiden, Rowen and Tucker. "Hey," said the dream-Kia to her friends, none of whom replied or even moved a muscle. In fact, now as she looked closer, she noticed that all three were stood as if they were about to duel one another and the dream-Kia suddenly found herself in the middle of them. She looked between them knowing that she would have to choose one, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. The wind suddenly blew through the grass below dream-Kia's feet, tickling her as she did so. As the dream began to fade, the tickling remained, and was still present when she opened her eyes and saw the familiar eyes of boy number three, Tucker Pierce.

She heard him mutter something about Claire. Just as Kia opened her mouth to reply, boy number three had picked her up and swung her over his shoulder. She laughed as Tucker carried her to the dormatory, only stopping when he had put her down on the bed. "Erm thanks for the warning," she smiled as she said this, knowing full well that the wake-up call could have been much worse, like a bucket of ice cold water over the head.

[Tucker Pierce]

Tucker laughed along with Kia, as he shut the door behind Jason. He smiled at Kia, walking over to her. "Kia, you know Claire... Claire, you know Kia." He said pointing at each of them after Claire had woken up. Claire was actually pretty found of Kia, though she wasn't found of many others. She was very found of Corliss though. Tucker's best friend, well next to Kianthra. Suddenly Claire, crawled over to Kia, laying down next to her, holding on to her tightly as if for dear life. He laughed softly at her, rolling his eyes at her vaguely.

Tucker sat down on the bed next to the two out of three girls that meant every thing to him, with the acception of Corliss not being there. He smiled tickling Claire's stomach before blowing on it with his lips fluttering making a loud noise. She giggled uncontrollably, a huge smile covering her face. Her dirty blond hair was pulled back into a messy bun, that hung low in her neck. She had on a pair of shorts, with an emerald green top on that said, DE. On the back it had all the names of DE members with their alliance in the membership.

[Kianthra Lestrange]

Kia laughed as Claire held tightly on to her arm. "Yes I know Claire, the one who always tries to steal my arm. You do have two of your own you know," she said quietly tickling Claire lightly so that she loosened her grip on Kia's arm. She smiled again as she watched Tucker interact with his sister. The side that not many people ever got to see. "Stop," she said quietly, taking a playful swipe at Tucker, "she'll go into hysterics if you keep going like that."

[Tucker Pierce]

Tucker shook his head lightly at what Kianthra said about Claire going into hysterics. "Naww... she's tough, just like her big brother." He laughed lightly, then continued on slowly, and solemnly, "Except sometimes I think she's stronger than me emotionally. She never cries... well at least not when I'm around..." His smile faded as he stared at the giggling Claire, and then at the simply beautiful Kianthra. Oh what he would give to just go on one date with her. The girl then enfelleped his dreams most of the time. They would either revolve around Claire, his dad, his mom, Corliss, Kia, or the tragic night. Possibly even some good memories, but that wasn't consistent.

Tucker decided to lighten the mood, feeling the awkward silence start to get to the restless Claire. He sighed, rolling over to her. He grabbed her by the waist, throwing her up in the air lightly. He caught her easily, like any other day that he would do this with her. He laughed his manly laugh in union with Claire's baby girly laugh. He rolled his eyes, laying her next to Kianthra again. "You know sometimes I even try to steal your arm. You just have this attraction to the Pierce family." He shrugged, his eyes showing love. Oh, how he adored Kia. He would do anything for her, no questions asked. He loved her. Just as he did Corliss, except his feelings for Kianthra were different. Corliss and him were just best friends.
