Current mood:

pensive

Scorpius definitely wasn't one to dwell on things, never. He rarely ever thought about something twice. He didn't care, remember? But this time, with Rose, it was different.

Seeing her face, vulnerable, as he stopped Polaris from attacking her cut to his heart in a way he most certainly didn't appreciate. He wasn't allowed to fall for Rose Weasley, not after he had told his brother that he wasn't allowed to date Lily Potter. He wasn't allowed to think that her eyes were particularly pretty, or that her hair was so very red against the white backdrop of Hogsmeade, or that she smelled nice. Or that her hands were soft when he healed her fingers.

He wasn't usually one to take walks in the cold, either, but he was thinking. And the cold helped him think. He stopped on the bridge, drawing his cloak tightly around him and adjusting his scarf and hat. He needed to cut Rose out of his life before he began to actually develop real feelings for her, because real Malfoys don't fall in love. (Polaris doesn't count.) They fall in convenience, and if love comes, it's always bought, not earned.

	That made Rose frown and look at him again. "Did...did you just call yourself an idiot?" A small smile started to peek through on her lips. "Want to elaborate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He could tell she was beginning to smile by the tone of her voice when she asked him to elaborate. "Not really, no." Because elaborating would mean telling her that he had feelings for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Noooooo," Rose cooed, dragging out the vowel and smiling more widely. "You have to tell now." Her hands played with the buttons of his cloak. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"According to who?" He tried so hard to ignore her playing with his buttons. He would not fall prey to her womanly wiles right now. "I don't have to tell you anything. You just want me to tell you something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course I do," she fully admitted. "And you want to tell me, or you wouldn't have so passive-aggressively brought it up. Now out with it, Scorpius." There, she used his name. She didn't call him Malfoy. That had to count for something, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What? Rose Weasley just admitted something? Someone owl St. Mungo's, she's gone mental." He half-smirked, half-grinned at her. "Make me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She was unphased. "Never mind, then." Rose untangled herself from him and took a few steps back. "I should be getting back to study, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grabbed her hands and pulled her back to him. "No," he said simply, and kissed her again. This time, it was one of the softest kisses he had ever given her, and he was trying to tell her through it that he wanted her around, and not in a 'let's-just-be-friends-with-benefits' way.

	She smiled the entire time as he kissed her. The soft, polite kiss made her blush harder than any of their most lust-filled kisses ever had. "Scorpius," she whispered close to him, "tell me." Tell her he wanted her. Tell her he fancied her. Tell her this wasn't what it used to be. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He wanted to believe that she wanted to know. That she wanted him as much as he wanted her. "I'll sound like a ponce," he whispered against her lips, the brush of the two sets sending gooseflesh down his spine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Darling," she started sarcastically (although maybe not so sarcastically), "you already sound like a ponce all the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm so mad at you," she laughed after the kiss. Pursing her lips, Rose reached up and moved a piece of hair out of his face and smiled. "You're actually quite handsome when you're not acting like a right bastard," she confessed to him quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can't be mad at me, I'm too handsome for that," he replied, grinning. "But really. You're actually quite beautiful even when you're being a ponce and a half." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her cheeks burned as red as her hair. No one had ever called her beautiful before. Ever. Rose put her head against his chest, closed her eyes, and held him tight. This was terrible. Why was he making her feel so good? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He placed a hand to the back of her head and stroked her hair, not knowing what else to do. She was so short. After Hogsmeade, he felt ultimately more protective over her, and he couldn't help but feel a rush of butterflies as she held him tight. "I think I fancy you, Rose," he said hesitantly, softly.

	Rose did not look up at him. She would not look up at him. Instead she squeezed both him and her eyes tighter as her smile reached her ears. She really hoped he didn't notice. Really, really hoped. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scorpius took her squeezing him as an affirmation that she had heard him. He pressed his lips to the top of her head. "So you heard me?" he asked softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scorpius paused, waiting to hear something else. Anything else. Hopefully a declaration of feelings too. After an agonizing minute, he said, "And?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scorpius looked down at her face, trying to calculate her expression. "Nothing?" he said, feeling as though he had been shot in the stomach. With that, he pulled his arms from around her and took a few steps back. "All right, then." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No!" Rose flew forward and kissed him, her arms wrapping around his neck. Her kiss was deep and said the things she was too proud to say outloud. She could only hope that Scorpius accepted it as good enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He was a bit taken aback when she flung herself at him, not kissing back out of surprise for a few seconds. He kissed her back, with nearly as much conviction as she had. He pulled away after a good minute or two. "Does this mean you fancy me, too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohrosie 2009-09-16 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe," she grinned guiltily, still too embarrassed to say it out loud. She fiddled with his buttons and only took little glances at him quickly, shy and nervous to give him a good look. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
