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.

	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)

	"Yes," Rose blushed into his chest. "I heard you." (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)

	Rose peeled her face off of his warm chest and looked up at him, biting her lip to keep her from saying any confessions she'd regret. (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)

	"Not a good enough answer," he grinned back, looking down at her. Scorpius ran his hands down her arms slowly, and let them come to rest on her hips. "But it will suffice for now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose's forehead fell forward onto his chest and she sighed. "This is bad news," she mumbled, although it was mostly to herself. What was she going to do now? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He heard her mumbling and frowned, wondering why she was so upset over it. "Shouldn't you be all girly now and happy because a boy admitted he fancies you rather than saying it's bad news?" Scorpius knew good and well that it was bad news--it was what all his thinking had been about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She looked up at gave him a skeptical look. "You wouldn't fancy me if I was the type to get all girly over this," she told him. "And it is bad news." She added morosely, "You remember James's reaction to a simple snog." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Scorpius nodded. "True, I'd think you were a flighty tart if you did," he replied. "But we could be open instead of hiding it, like Lily and Polaris," he said, knowing that it was futile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Or we can just be better at hiding it," she offered as a suggestion. Not that she was embarrassed by Scorpius, but she was afraid of what her family would think: snogs were one thing, but commitments were something entirely different. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It could work," he replied, his hands sliding around her waist to rest on the small of her back. "Only if you want to," said Scorpius hastily. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What do you want?" Rose asked. She'd only just realized that he seemed to be putting her feelings before her own, which completely threw her off guard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looked down at her. "You," he said simply. Realizing that this might have seemed a bit serious, he added, "To be able to spend time with you that isn't just random snogs in the Courtyard or behind Hagrid's Hut. It gets smelly back there, really. Random snogs in the castle are much better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose shoved him a little playfully, but nodded. "It would be nice for us to not have to dive behind a pillar or a hut," she thought out loud. Biting her lip, she shook her head. "What would your dad say, though? What would my dad say? Merlin, isn't there some play about this sort of thing? I think it ended badly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He laughed a bit. "Merlin, Rose, it's not like we're betrothed and planning the names of our children," he said jokingly. "What our parents don't know won't hurt them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She pushed him again and stuck out her tongue. "Don't tease me, I'm all owed to worry about whether or not my family is going to murder you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They won't. I'm a Malfoy, I'm far too important for anyone to let me be murdered." Scorpius paused for a moment. "I know! I'll get a bodyguard. How does that sound?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
