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.

"Whatever is happening between you and I," he said, still not looking at her. That tree was really interesting. He wondered if it was good for wand harvesting.

"I shouldn't be concerned, really, I should be thinking about Pellyn, or what's going on in the world in general, and I can't help but think this is turning into something more than random snogs." He couldn't believe he had just admitted it. "I shouldn't care, not with everything else that is happening."

	In classic Rose fashion, she completely misunderstood whatever it was he was saying to her. "If you want to stop snogging, just say so," she told him. She hoped she sound nonchalant when really, her stomach was getting tight and painful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"See, that's the thing," he said, turning back to her; he looked electrified as he spoke, frantic almost. "I don't want to stop snogging you, Rose. I want to snog you more but I can't. I can't, because of a million different reasons." He looked almost pained at having revealed this to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roses's brows furrowed a little, but she pulled herself off the floor of the bridge and stood in front of Scorpius. "You can snog me all you want. As long as I want you to, that is." The tugging in the corner of her mouth wouldn't go away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Scorpius noticed the corners of her mouth twitching and it only managed to infuriate him. "You don't get it, Rose," he said, overcoming the urge to grab her by the shoulders and shake her. "And it drives me insane."

He grabbed her around the waist roughly and pulled her to him, not hesitating to take her lips with his, a kiss with as much passion as he had been speaking with. A kiss with which he was trying to portray every feeling he had in his mind--lust, confusion, anger, and a hint of those stupid butterflies in his stomach.

She opened her mouth to continue the conversation, but instead he had grabbed her. The kiss was unlike any they had shared before, and Rose felt warm from head to toe, which had nothing to do with her charmed cloak. Immediately her hands reached up and cupped the sides of his face gently, rather than possessively like in the past. Rose softly groaned into the kiss, forgetting for the time being about Derek and whatever else was going wrong.

At the moment, Scorpius wouldn't care if his father, brother, and the entire Weasley clan promenaded across the bridge and saw what was happening now. It wouldn't matter to him--because secretly, that is what he wanted. If Polaris could have it, why couldn't he?

Her touch on his face made him calm down a bit, and instead of being rough, he kissed her deeply, one of his hands tangling in her hair while the other rested on the small of her back to keep her pressed against him. Her groan sent a wave of warmth through his body. Hearing Rose make sounds like that did not put innocent thoughts into his head. On the contrary, it made him want to be somewhere, inside, where no one could find them. He bit on her lower lip softly, dragging it through his teeth as his hand that was in her hair went to her waist.

	As Scorpius's hands wandered, Rose put her arms around Scorpius's neck and settled against him, finding an odd comfort with him holding her. Still feeling curious, she gently pulled away, and while on her toes to reach him, she asked, "So what do you actually want?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He nearly protested her pulling away, and flushed ever-so-slightly at her comment, not knowing what to say. "Well, I don't quite know," he said honestly, resting his forehead against the top of her head. "I want a lot of things, really.. like I want to piss Bristow off, and then again I don't, because I don't want you to be mad at me.." He smirked at the idea of Basil's reaction to the fact that he and Rose continued to snog.

	The mention of Basil made Rose hesitate and look away for a moment. She felt suddenly guilty, as if she were caught doing something very much against the rules. "Why do you have to do that," she groaned. "What did he ever do to you? Besides stupid, childish name calling, what did he ever do to you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He had known that it was the wrong thing to say, and her reaction just solidified the feeling of stupidity that was washing over him. Scorpius reached up and turned her head back to his, trying to be more brave than he was. Channeling some of Rose's Gryffindor courage, maybe.

"He is just as much of a berk to me as I am to him, Rose," he said, trying to make her see clearer. "He keeps you from me most of the time." Maybe that line would work. He knew it was cliche. Which made him laugh on the inside.

	Rose rolled her eyes. "Please," she sighed. "And I'm a berk to you as well, and yet you can't resist me." The smile on her face flashed on, then off. "And he doesn't keep me from you, don't be daft. He's not speaking to me, you know. Because you and I snog. I could stop snogging you and resume talking to him anytime, but I'm not finished with you yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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.

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)

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)
