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.

	"Well, I would suggest that you don't stop snogging me," he replied airily. "But that is just my suggestion, although it is a wise one. And you make up for being a berk to me with your snogs. I don't really want to snog Bristow." He shuddered at the thought. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm still not sure what I get out of all of this," she told him a bit slyly. "Snogs are fine but I've been attacked by your brother, practically lost my best friend, harassed by my cousin..." Ouch. Listing it all like that made Rose frown as it all hit her at once. What was she getting out of this? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius frowned at these revelations; he knew of them, but he still found it harsh when she tossed them back into his face. "If you want to stop snogging, you can tell me," he replied, echoing her previous words. "I can deal with it."

But he couldn't deny the nagging feeling in his stomach that told him he probably couldn't deal with it for a while if this just ended... even if it was just snogs.

	"How's your brother?" It was the only thing she could think of to avoid the question. Of course she didn't want to give Scorpius up, but she'd never admit it out loud. Not until...not unless he admitted it first. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I haven't talked to him since I stopped him from nearly murdering you," he responded, looking away from her and slowly letting his hands fall from around her waist. "I'm not really planning on talking to him, either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose shrugged. "It was just payback," she told him, almost sounding carefree. "It's how the game's played." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius couldn't believe she was avoiding this question. He had proverbially thrown himself in front of a bus by nearly admitting that he didn't want to stop snogging her for a while and he was frustrated. Most girls were usually all for this kind of thing. Even though Rose wasn't like most girls, and he knew it. And he had known it. She wouldn't get emotionally attached.

"Doesn't mean that I still can't think he was completely out of line." Scorpius hesitated. "Or did you want him to kick the shit out of you?"

	"I suppose," he said reluctantly, face looking a bit pointed as he agreed with her. "Sorry again that my brother is as big of an idiot as I am." He grumbled this rather than said it aloud. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	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.
