-LYSANDER-

"𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐘, 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐃𝐎𝐎𝐑" I said a bit vigilantly not being too loud or someone might hear us. I gave a quiet knock on her bedroom door in the Burrow. The wedding was a great success and now Teddy and Victoire are probably getting steamy in their bedroom at a resort. On the other hand I was waiting in winter clothes for my girlfriend to open the door.

It was 9pm, I was unsure where we were going, what we were going to do and how we're going to find a place to hangout in the middle of some valley. Like seriously didn't the Weasley's find a better place to build their house? I mean, they're not even that introverted to choose to live in isolation. Firstly I don't know how we're going to go out, the weather is cold and I don't have any winter clothes on.

Lily opened the door and she was in her pink and white striped pyjamas. I suddenly got a jump scare when I saw her without all that makeup on her face, of course she looked pretty but- she looked so normal. "Hey" she said in a low voice, smiling and waving at me as I just stood on the doorstep waiting for her to give me a reason why I had come to visit her.

"So, where do you want to go out?" She asked as she pulled me in and closed the door. I looked around Lily's bedroom, it gave off a lot of cottage core vibes with all the wood designs and warm white lights. Her bed comfortable and soft, with several pillows, I felt a bit sleepy, my social battery was drained from the social event and I felt drowsy and tired

"Scamander!" She snapped as I snapped out of my inner mind voice.

"Yeah?" I asked. "Where are we going? How?" She asked. Dude, she was the one who said, 'I'll give you a good time' and now she's asking me itself, bruh. "You decide" I said as I suddenly felt a pain in my back, probably from sitting too much in a straight posture. "Well then" she started as she paused and grabbed my gray oversized T-shirt and made a soft smile. "Let's spend a night" she completed.

I choked on my saliva and started coughing vigorously. She really knows how to deal with me. "Let's, ok, let's go out to a park or something" I said. "Great! I'll get ready" she said as she opened up her wardrobe and I saw some fancy clothes. RICH KID VIBEZ. "I'll wait out" I said as I walked out to wait for her.

Little did I know I was going to stand out for the next thirty minutes of my life waiting for her to get ready. "Dude, it's been fifteen minutes are you coming?" I asked knocking the door. "Wait!" She exclaimed, a bit annoyed. I think the sun was coming out, WHY IS SHE TAKING SO LONG? IT'S JUST CHANGING INTO NEW CLOTHES. IT CAN'T BE THAT HARD.

She opened the door 5 minutes after I continuously nagged her. "Stop nagging me like my mom" she snapped as she unveiled herself in a black sweater on the inside with a fluffy oversized white winter cloth, thick black tights, black gloves and black winter boots. She looked so pretty.

She also had light make up on her face. I felt so underdressed, I was just wearing a black winter jacket over a black shirt alongside with black pants and my black high top Converse. "Dude, you don't need makeup and all, let's just go" I said.

"Learn to compliment, let's start with, 'Oh my god Lils! You look so pretty'" she said in a mocking tone as she applied some lip gloss looking at the mirror. "You look so pretty so let's go now" I said. "Where are we going again?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Well, let's go to Dorset, I know a place near my town" I said. "Oh so you decided" she said as she quickly finished her makeup. "We're using floo right?" Lily asked as we tiptoed quietly to the fireplace. "Yeah, we have to mutter, 'Barthalow's Beach House'" I said as I smiled.

"Beach house? Oh, so we're going to have a night there?" She asked, giving a sneaky smile. "Oi, don't get the wrong idea, Mr. Barthalow is a wizard who runs that place, he was my grandfather's friend so we can floo to his fireplace" I said.

"What if he tells your grandfather that you snuck out with a girl and hung out at the beach with her?" She asked. "Well, he's a chill old man. I'll take care of that" I said as we both took a handful of floo powder. "We have to come back by 12 at least" she said as we walked towards the fireplace.

"Don't worry darling" I said as I held her hand and we walked into the fireplace. "I'll bring you back home safe and sound in one piece" I said as we dropped the powder accompanied by a burst of green flames as we walked out into a dark poorly lit room with maroon walls and oak wood flooring.

"We're here" I said as I walked out of the fireplace with Lily and opened the door of the room that we had arrived in and entered Mr.Barthalow's office room. There was a fat man smoking and coughing wheezily in his luxurious armchair made of the finest fur.

He turned around to face both of us. "Lysander!" He exclaimed as he smiled and took a look at Lily. "So, is she?" he asked, nodding his head, getting a bit excited. "Uh no, she's just a friend, we're just hanging out. Thought we would give a visit to the beach. I hope my grandpa doesn't get the news" I said.

"What are you going to do with her?" He asked. "Grab some dinner, take a walk at the beach and drop her back, that's it- I promise it's nothing more than that" I said. Mr. Barthalow looked at Lily with his faded blue eyes and shaggy silver hair falling on his eyes and said, "If he does anything against your wish, I'll make sure to snitch on him. Just come and complain and I'll make sure he's done for life".

Lily giggled and said, "Lysander is not that kind of a person, I swear he jumps and gets scared every time I hold his hand or hug him. He's such a gentleman" as she looked at me with her cute green eyes piercing my heart in two.

"I know, I know, I'm just worried he might try to murder you or something because he usually doesn't hang out with GIRLS" he said. "We're childhood friends so yeah" Lily handled the situation perfectly.

"We should get going now" I said. Lily and I waved our goodbyes. Lily had exited the room and I was about to exit when Mr. Barthalow held my shoulder and whispered into my ear, "She has a pure heart and she's pretty, now go get the girl" he chuckled. I just gave a blank stare to put up my act as me and Lily walked through the corridor towards the extravagant hotel lobby.

We exited through the revolving doors to a lively street with beautiful Christmas decorations all over town. All the shops were closed and there were neon signs of pubs and bars. Many of them were returning home after many rounds of drinks whereas some of them had just started the party.

The soft snowy floor in which my shoes were sinking in. "This town is beautiful, it gives me Hogsmeade vibes" Lily said, taking a deep breath. "Correction, Hogsmeade is surrounded by forests, this town is surrounded by the ocean" I said as I held Lily's hand and we both smiled at each other as we were walking.

"I don't know what to talk about" Lily said, breaking the awkward silence. "I don't know either" I said looking at her, I just realised how cute she looked. She looked like a snowy owl with that fluffy oversized winter coat, those white earmuffs and that cute little beanie of her little redhead.

"Should we grab a bite? I'm getting my late night stomach grumble" Lily asked. "Well, I have the perfect spot for that by the beach" I said smiling. "It's funny how I've never seen the beach during winter when it's snowy" Lily asked. "You'll see, you'll see" I said as I was trying to remember the route to the beach.

We took a left turn as we saw the sign board. "The beach!" Lily said excitedly as she started running. "BE CAREFUL IT'S SLIPPERY" I said as I took big steps to walk quickly in around the speed of her run. I don't know, sometimes Lily being a bit childish usually gets her in trouble.

Then, I saw Lily slip on the sidewalk covered with snow. She lost her balance as she fell backwards, the fear on her face- My palms turned sweaty as I rushed forward to save her.

-LILY-

In the name of getting excited for stupid and lame reasons, I always end up in a mess. I slipped on the icy floor as my heart dropped and my stomach flipped. I had a sense of fear, I can't die already—

I can't get Lysander in trouble by getting hurt, why am I so irresponsible? I tried to get my balance but it was too late. Fear, anxiety, my life had started flashing before my eyes and I had a mini stroke. I should have listened to Lysander, I just wanted to show him that I was excited and grateful he brought me here, perhaps I over performed.

I closed my eyes ready to take the hit and prepare myself for the pain I was about to endure. Then I felt like I was levitating in mid air as I felt his warm hands wrapped around me. One around my waist and the other on my neck.

I opened my eyes to my over dramatic lover, he had trapped me in his arms. "I told you to be careful, I can't catch you every time my life isn't a K Drama" he said as he helped me gain back my stability and balance on my feet. "Ok, thanks" I said as I was in joy that I didn't die. We both walked to the beach and well, woah-

The soft peach sands were covered in white snow, the waves were still clashing on the shore with the same melody as it would on any normal day. It was different, but it was beautiful. The moon shining bright above the sky and the stars added much more scenery.

"Let's get some food and enjoy ourselves by the beach" Lysander said as we walked along the shore of the beach to a convenience store which was right opposite to the shore.

"Hmm, I've never been to a convenience store, it's such an American thing" I said. "Convenience stores are fun, especially the food" he said as I saw the brightly lit up store with huge glass windows. We both walked in as there was a cute bell ringing sound.

There were a few night shift workers buying themselves a meal and some snacks for the night. Many of them were also standing outside and smoking some cigarettes. I followed Lysander as he walked into an aisle full of instant noodles, cup noodles of a hundred different flavours and quantities. I suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Cool right?" She said as he started scanning through the shelves. "How'd you even decide on which one to buy when there is so much to explore?" I asked, looking at some boxes having random Japanese, Korean and Chinese letters.

"It's really not that hard, firstly don't pressure yourself too much, it's not a test, just get whichever seems the most appetising" he said cooly. Good for him, he knows everything. This is my first time! What if I get something which sucks?

"Give me some recommendations" I said as I scanned the section. "I recommend that brand, the pink one is good but I always go for the black one which is beautiful. It's the spiciest" he said. Wait- LYSANDER LIKES SPICY FOOD? How come I never knew that.

"Do you like spicy food?" I asked, getting a bit excited and hyped. "I would rather live off eating chillies over chocolate" he said. "Oh my goddddd" I said in a squeaky voice getting excited. "What happened?" He asked. "Everyone in my family hates spicy food and everyone I know has negative spice tolerance, I always wanted to have a spicy food buddy" I said smiling in joy.

"Really?" He asked. I don't know why I'm such an excitable person, it just seems so immature and silly. "The feeling of eating spicy food on a cold day is just so good, itself the best feeling in the world" I said. "I know right! Spicy food is also for like the fucked up days" he said. "THAT'S SO RELATABLE, I feel like I just found my soulmate. Like Scamander we're made for each other" I said in an excited voice.

"Well I guess I'll buy two of these" he said taking the black coloured packaged korean noodles. "We need a cold drink no matter what" I said as I walked towards the refrigerators. "I recommend you a milkshake or something- it helps to fight the spice" Lysander said.

"Fighting tears while eating spicy food is also a different feeling" I said as I grabbed a cold coffee and handed it to Lysander. "I'm going to get some hot tea" he said. IS HE A PSYCHOPATH? WHO THE FUCK DRINKS TEA WITH SPICY FOOD, THAT'S LIKE ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to die or something? If you do wanna die do it tomorrow not now" I said, opposing his wish of buying a hot tea. "Don't worry I'll be fine plus it's pretty cold outside so it'll balance out" he said as he grabbed two sausage sticks and something called string cheese and we walked towards the billing counter where I was invited by different varieties of colourful candies.

I was eyeing some, they might look good but nothing can ever beat the candies at Honeydukes plus these chocolates are probably too basic for my liking. "Want any?" Lysander asked as he saw me looking. "No not really" I said as Lysander picked out a matcha flavoured chocolate. Ok maybe I should have got one- It's too late already Lysander had already finished paying. We peeled open out noodle cups and filled it with hot water

Then I heard the cute bell ring again, I involuntarily turned to see who had entered and it was two girls and a guy, they seemed like friends. I saw Lysander looking at them as his calm and stable expression changed and he was alarmed. "Do you-" I started when he held my hand and dragged me out of the store. "You know those kids?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well, let's say we have history" he said, looking through the window, spying on them. "Are they like you muggle school classmates?" I asked. "Correction, muggle school bullies" he said. BULLIES? LYSANDER GOT BULLIED? LYSANDER- HOW THE HELL DID LYSANDER GET BULLIED? IS THAT TRAUMA THE REASON HE IS LIKE THIS?

"Did they bully you?" I asked. "Let's be honest, people get jealous of people who are too good and try to bring them down" he answered in a twisted way. "Should I beat them up?" I asked, agitated. How dare they bully? That too my Lysander- Past is past is just bullshit, just give them what they deserve.

"Don't be stupid, they probably don't even remember me. Puberty made me a whole different person, I doubt they'll even recognise me" he said rolling his eyes as he looked at me, I was still fuming in the anger of him getting bullied in his childhood and doing nothing about it. "Tell me you hit them back once in your life" I said.

"Stop hanging on to the past, let's go eat. You were hungry, remember? Let's chill out for a while. Food will help and the noodles might get soggy" Lysander said playing with the pom pom on the top of my beanie and kissing my head. We both walked to a stone bench with a table near a barbecue pit by the beach.

We sat next to each other as we drained the water and added our sauces. "Add some sausage and let me add this string cheese for you" Lysander said as he plopped a sausage into my cup and started peeling the cheese stick and he put the small shards into the noodles as they started melting.

I took a sip of my cold coffee and prepared myself to eat the spicy noodles. "Where's the fork?" I asked. "Fork? Only a psychopath would use a fork, here you go chopsticks" he said handing me a pair of cheap one time wooden chopsticks. I'm a psychopath, I didn't know how to use chopsticks, I never saw the need for chopsticks when forks existed, like bro why make life so complicated for absolutely no reason.

I saw Lysander casually slurping down the noodles without even breaking a sweat or catching a breath. I opened the packet chopsticks confidently, come on Lily, you got top marks in your O.W.L.s it can't be that hard, it's just chopsticks. I held the chopsticks, one in my right hand and one in my right hand. I saw Lysander give me a death glare, I immediately smiled and tried copying how Lysander was holding his chopsticks.

I carefully observed him and picked up the noodles from the cup. IT WORKED! I was delighted to get it on my first try, right when I was going to place it in my mouth the noodles slid back into the bowl. I kept trying again and again, I just couldn't get a grip of the tiny orange snakes.

"You need help?" Lysander asked. "No! I can do this!" I said confidently as I was totally dedicated to mastering the art of 'chopsticking' today. I had several more failed attempts but I wasn't going to give up any soon. My stomach grumbled, perhaps I should just eat with my hands, but I didn't wash them-

As I went for another attempt, FOCUS! Come on Lily! FOCUS! IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE CHOPSTICKS! HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LEARN APPARITION NEXT MONTH! I adjusted my fingers and gripped my chopsticks hard. Then I felt Lysander's warm hands run over mine. I turned pink as I was caught off guard. "Adjust your fingers" he said as he corrected my fingers.

I looked at his eyes focused on my hands, his blonde hair falling off his forehead. I just realised that I had never seen him without his gorgeous bangs. Then our eyes met and we looked away from each other in embarrassment. His fingers are still massaging my hands and ticking my palms. "Now try" he said a bit flustered. I lifted up my chopsticks with the noodles and YES! IT WORKED!

I placed it on my mouth and devoured it. IT WAS SO GOOD! My cheeks turned red in delight as I smiled. Getting pleasure from food is one kind of unlisted happiness. My lips burned after a few bites and I started gasping for air. Lysander had already finished his meal and was munching on his chocolate bar. AH! THIS WAS SPICY! I gulped some of my coffee and then I snatched the chocolate bar from Lysander's hand and munched on it.

"OI!" Lysander exclaimed. "I'm Fanum taxing you my rizzling sigma bitch" I said flexing my brain rot skills. He rolled his eyes. No jokes, but he just looks so adorable when seems so done with me, I just love making his eyes roll.

Then Lysander bent close to me, the chocolate bar was still near my lips as I was ready to take another bite he came awfully close to me and took a bite from where I took the chocolate bite as he gave a wink. MY HEART-

I felt a sudden excitement and nervousness as he glanced over me with his seductive glare and that smirk on his face. I was bending backwards to such an extent I was going to fall back any second. Lysander moved closer to me with an irresistible romantic gaze in his eyes, his eyes twinkling brighter than any star in the sky. I got chills as I felt his hands creep to my back to pull me closer to him. My lips were too dry- I can't kiss him right now-

"Love you" he muttered in his deep voice softly. My heart was beating so loud and my body seemed to be frozen, my brain was buffering so badly I couldn't even reply- The purity in the words and the truth in them- "I- I love you too" I said in a startled manner as I turned away to face the other side. He placed his hand on my cheek and kissed my neck. This was such an awkward position, no jokes- I feel like I just might fall off the bench.

He pulled back as I adjusted my sitting position. "Chocolate?" I said offering his own chocolate to him. "It's fine" he said, looking at me. I went back to eating as we started talking about the whole 'Val and Diana Situation'.

-LYSANDER-

Walking on the snow covered beach with a girl I can truly love was something I never expected every time I walked in the sands of this beach leaving perishable footprints. Me and Lily were holding hands, our fingers intertwined, her head resting on my arm, one Airpod on my left ear and the other on her right ear as we listened to 'Champagne Problems' by Taylor Swift.

I know, it's not the most perfect song for couples but me and Lily were pretty much enjoying listening to my breakup songs playlist. Let's be honest, breakup songs are basically the best. I looked at her, she seemed to be at peace, her voice humming the melody of the song, her eyes closed with glittering tears on the corner of her sharp cat eyes. It was evident both of us were lost in a different world.

The cold breeze, our traipse walk, the temporary euphoria and peace, the clashing of waves and the fluffy snow on the beach. "Lysander" Lily mumbled. I snapped out of my thoughts and asked, "What?" in a soft voice. "Tonight feels impossible. You wanting me is impossible and was always a fiction of my imagination. I feel like I'm dreaming" she said.

"I wish I could say 'forever' but I'm just afraid to jinx it. I don't even dare to say it." I said looking at her calm resting face. Her lips slowly curled into a small smile and said, "No jokes but that statement was just so irrelevant to what I said" she giggled tugging on my arm.

I looked up at the sky and said, "The moon is beautiful isn't it?" I asked as I looked down at her skin glowing in the moonlight. She looked up at the moon and smiled. "It is indeed" she replied. "That's Earth's moon, I was talking about my moon" I said and Lily gave me that eye squint, "I meant you, my moon, my Lily LUNA" I said and Lily gave me a side eye and said, "Stop cringing boy!"

I giggled. We looked above at the sky and a streak of starlight from a shooting star. Lily gasped and said "Make a wish". I made my wish, 'I hope I get filthy rich'. "What did you wish for?" she asked. "Never tell anyone your wishes or it'll never happen" I said. "I wished we would break up, now that I told you it won't happen" she said. I don't know here to classify this- clever or dumb as fuck.

I patted her head as if she was an orange kitty, I don't know why but she's such a pettable little cute, kitty, human. "It's still quite early to go back, do you want to go to the karaoke? I'll buy you beer" I said. "Did you say beer?" she said as Lily's calm expression turned into a grinning devil.

-TIME SKIP-

We found ourselves in a fancy private room at the karaoke which was owned by Mr. Barthalow so of course we got a free upgrade for a VIP room. "So this is for singing right?" Lily asked. "Yes, you just gotta select the song and the music will play and the lyrics will appear on the screen" I said. "I need beer, I need a kick to start going crazy" she said.

"We just ordered, it will take some time" I said, sighing as I checked the song list. "Are there any wizarding songs? Maybe some Celestina Warbeck?" Lily asked, peeking into the screen. "Yup Mr.Barthalow uses this cabin especially for wizarding customers so it has some songs" I said checking through the collections.

"Why don't you sing first, I'll sing after I get the beer" Lily said. I got nervous, I wasn't usually the kind of person to sing around anyone, it's more of a very private thing- The only people who have to hear my banshee screams and high notes are my family members no one else. I'm just super insecure of people judging me for my voice.

"Let's do it together, I just need some confidence boost. Anyways meanwhile, let's dedicate a song to each other" I said. "Dedicate?" she said as she went through the screen and I was looking whether she was going to pick a Taylor Swift song. "HEY! Go sit down, I'll find one and play it. It will be a surprise" she ordered as I followed it and sat down on the comfy couch. Lily was still searching for a song. It better be something good- Maybe Ed Sheeran?

"Ok found it!" she said as she played the song and the music started, I recognised it immediately. I waited for the lyrics to start as a smile grew on my face as I heard the lines, "My castle crumbled overnight, I brought a knife to a gun fight". Lily smiled at me, I don't know why but I just felt guilty to smile back.

All this happiness, love, smiles, they're like drugs. Once you have it you keep wanting them and if you get ripped away you go insane, you lose yourself and I'm scared that I might walk into the path of insanity. I'm scared of getting attached to her, falling in love is so easy but maintaining it and not bleeding when you get stabbed is hard. Maybe this was a mistake-

I was never good enough for her, I know I am going to hurt her eventually, it's just the way of life, getting hurt over and over again until you can't feel the pain anymore or bear the burden of life. This relationship just seems a little too much for a person like me. Sometimes I feel like levitating but at the end of the day it's also overwhelming. Everything in my life is so perfect that I fear it's all going to go crashing down.

"You ok?" she asked as she jumped onto the couch next to me. I nodded my head with a weak fake smile. "I changed my question, what's wrong?" she asked. "I don't know, everything just seems too much" I said. "Can you stop being a depressed kid?" she said, frowning as she hit my head. "I'm not depressed" I said in my null voice.

"Ok wait" Lily said focusing on the song and the lyrics, 'I want to wear his initial on a chain 'round my neck, chain 'round my neck, not because he owns me, but 'cause he really knows me' started playing and Lily said, "That's the exact lyric I wanted to dedicate to you" she smiled as she put her head on my shoulder and tied our fingers together as our feet were playing footsies.

"We both share the same initial" I said. "Even 'Love' shares the same initial as our names" Lily said. I saw my silver 'L' letter pendant chain around my neck. I slowly removed it. I looked at Lily and called her out, "Lils" as he raised her head from my shoulder and I went closer and put my necklace around her neck.

"Aww, Lys" she said as her hand rose up to touch my cheeks. I caught her hand as I slowly interlocked our fingers as she blushed and smiled in delight and I said, "Remember we used to get married with paper rings?"

"Those were times, playing pretend marriages" she sighed in nostalgia as she pulled closer to me for a cuddle. We were really getting into a stable romantic mode when someone knocked the door. Lily pushed me away in excitement at the arrival of her beers as she went to collect it. It would be nice if she cared 1% more about me than those beers.

I feel hopeless, I'm jealous of non-living things like her favourite food which gets to touch her lips, her clothes which wraps her body and of course the mirror which gets pretty every time she is in front of it. Lily popped open the beer bottle and gulped some down. "OK BABES! LET'S DANCE! WOOO!!!" she said as she started playing some party starter songs with good beats.

I toxicated myself with lemon juice as I watched Lily dance around and laughed at her hilarious dance moves. Till date I didn't know Lily was much of a dancer. But the hula dance she did was right on spot for a good joke, she was definitely more professional than Micheal Jackson himself. NOTE THE SARCASM.

When 'Fein' started playing, I couldn't even control myself. I joined Lily in hopping up and down on the floor with the mirror ball adding the perfect lighting for the song. "THIS WOULD BE CRAZY ASS DOPE IF OUR FRIENDS WERE HERE" Lily said smiling and screaming so I could hear her even in the loud music. "FIRST THING WE DO AFTER GRADUATING AND CONFESSING THE WHOLE WORLD MY LOVE FOR YOU IS KARAOKE WITH OUR HOMIES" I said.

We had a hell of a time as we started singing many songs and every time there was a high note we would scream our lungs out until our vocal chords tore into two. I don't think I've ever felt so complete while singing, even though my voice sounded like shit I had someone to hang out with and put up with shit so overall I see this as a win.

The best part was when we sang, 'I knew you were trouble' when the 'ahhh' part came. Even the song, 'Please Please Please' was goated, especially the best line, 'Heartbreak is one thing my ego's another. I beg you don't embarass me motherfucker-' I swear we screamed out that line so loud we definitely broke records.

Usually I'm so dedicated to making my voice perfect while singing but right now all I want to do is enjoy the moment with my love. I can't believe I finally had the confidence to sing in front of someone without feeling awkward and frightened on whether they would judge me cause I don't like when people judge my voice. I trust her so much- I hope she doesn't disappoint me.

After around an hour of singing ahem, let me correct that, screaming our lungs out to a point I can't even talk without sounding like an old grandpa we decided to pack up and go back to the burrow for the night. We thanked Mr. Barthalow and made our way to the fireplace.

-LILY-

Today was officially insane. I loved it! My ears were ringing because of the silence. I felt dizzy because of the sudden silence in the environment after listening to loud music and the beers were really getting into me, they were so pure and had a rich taste. Lysander and I really had a great time.

Now it was time to go back, me and him stepped onto the fireplace as we bid our farewell to Mr. Barthalow as we both muttered "The Burrow". An eruption of green flames as we found ourselves back at home. "Shh, silently. There is a high chance my dad or mum are out of bed for a bathroom break" I said as we tip-toed like cat burglars.

We reached my room entrance and I looked at him. "I guess I'll go to my room, bye Lils, good night. I had a great time" Lysander said as he put his hand behind his neck and was ready to turn away and to get going.

"Well-" I said as I opened the door and pulled him inside my room. Of course I had other plans, I wanted to get a feel of his whole devotional love towards me. I slammed the door close as Lysander just gave me an exhausted look. "Bro look, I have to catch some Zs or tomorrow I'll be a whole different person, it's already midnight" he said.

"Stay for a while and maybe- you know help me CHANGE" I said with a smirk. Lysander returned that smirk with his cunning smile and his ambitious glowing eyes. "Ok, I'll help" he said as he pinned me against the wall with that smug smile on his face. He adjusted his blonde hair and loosened his collar as my heart rate increased and I started recalling things we never did.

Is he actually going to do it? No way, I suddenly felt a bit of excitement and fear as his bedroom eyes of remedy removed my white coat. His left hand on my neck and the other on my waist, my face turned burning red. His hands slid under my top and my heart was on the verge of exploding. I tightly closed my eyes.

"DONE!" he said as I jumped, he pulled away from me and I found myself standing in my pink and white striped pyjamas and he was in his velvet black PJs. "Wandless magic" I muttered rolling my eyes, seriously though what did I expect? Lysander just gave a smile of pride. I blew the tendril of my bangs falling on my face and was playing with it by trying to make it float.

Lysander once again came closer to me as he cornered me to the wall. "Good night kiss?" he asked. I smiled, "It has to be so good, it puts me to sleep for a thousand years" I said as I yawned. "No way, I don't want some other dude kissing you to wake you up after a thousand years. I'll give one which will drug you to sleep till the morning" he said as he placed a soft kiss on my lips which lasted a few seconds.

"I'm still awake" I complained. "Want another?" he asked. "Fine but if the next one doesn't work out, you're staying for the night" I said grinning as I bit my lips in confidence that he was going to give me company tonight. "I'll succeed this time" he said as if kissing me to sleep was some kind of a quest he had to complete.

His soft lips against mine, he smelt so good and the fabric his pyjamas were made up of really set the mood in me, I kissed him back hard trying to get the best out of him as he gave a hard kiss which matched my fiery love. I grabbed his shoulder as I kissed him passionately as we lost control of ourselves. His hair was so soft to touch and his skin was flawless and smooth-

The only problem was his height, he was just a bit too tall for me. I had to tip toe and lift my head to a 70-80 degree angle just to get a good taste of him. All this would be so much easier if we were in bed. I gave a soft smirk.

Our lips parted for a while from one another as I mumbled, "Let's get more comfortable shall we?" I asked as my sneaky seductive eyes looked at his clouded ones. I pushed him backwards into my bed as I made myself comfortable lying on top of him kissing him in a way more comfortable position which didn't involve my back hurting like hell.

Lysander's face was flustered, hues of pink and red all over his skin. "Lily this is-" he started as I mumbled. I said in a low seductive voice, "It'll all be fine, don't worry". At this point I just wanted to taunt with his imagination, I bet he is thinking about us, a bed, lights off and clothes off. I love scaring the innocent guys who act all mighty and cool but fear upon one thing I could use to enjoy their weakness.

"It'll be fine when the lights turn off" I said, trying so hard not to laugh. I was trolling him so hard right now my poor acting skills might actually ruin this troll. My fingers crept on his body to his collarbones as I placed a soft kiss, his heart was beating so hard it was going to pop off his chest. Then I felt his arms wrap around me. "Well, no takesie backsies so turn off the lights" he said with a small chuckle.

My heart almost stopped. I felt his heartbeat had also paced down. NAH NO WAY, YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW- No, no he's Lysander, he's definitely putting up a convincing act. "Do you want to or should I?" I asked, going along with the scenario as I bit my lips.

"Uhm? You mean turning off the lights?" he asked. "No idiot!" I snapped as I unbuttoned his first button to take a good look at his sexy collarbones and kissed them, he was already sweating in fear. Come on Ly, we didn't even get steamy yet. "I meant taking off my clothes" I whispered into his ears as we both switched positions and he was on top of me now.

"I'll do it, you don't need to put so much effort" he said, ok I think this joke is getting out of hand, what's the possibility we keep up with this joke until we actually do 'IT'. I tried so hard to put up a pleasured face even though fear slowly crept into me by the look in his eyes.

My heart started racing, Lysander said with a smug, "You scared?" he asked, playing with my hair as his chest pressed against mine. "I'm just preparing myself" I lied as I choked on my words. Gosh, he looked so much like a pervert right now- Jokes on me for making up this joke. Well at least I get to see him shirtless- I mean I've seen even Lorcan shirtless but not Lysander, my own freaking boyfriend.

I confidently went to undo his buttons as Lysander freaked out and fell backwards and rolled off me and fell on the floor hitting his head on the tea table. I started laughing so badly as I saw him on the floor frightened and ghost struck. "I really got you this time" I laughed as he got up and took a pillow and tried suffocating me.

"DIE, DIE, DIE" he chanted and I was just giggling uncontrollably while I was dying due to shortness of breath. He let go of me as I looked at his straight face and started laughing once as I patted my cute little grumpy golden retriever. "Let's watch a movie till we fall asleep" I suggested as I took Lysander's phone from his pocket and typed my birthday as his password and well- IT WORKED! I went inside Disney+ and started searching for this movie named Ratatouille which Michelle had recommended to me.

"How'd you know my password?" he asked. "It's so obvious, bro" I said as I played the movie. We both cuddled up in my bed and tucked ourselves into my bed sheet as we started watching the movie. "You're crazy, imagine not knowing ratatouille" he said. "Well, I wasn't into muggle things before" I defended as we started watching.

Mid movie I snuck to the kitchen to get some snacks. I got a tub of cookies and cream ice cream and a packet of Fritos and went back to rubbing and cuddling in the bed with my cutie patootie golden retriever hottie boy. We were munching on the snack constantly, I realised Lysander didn't even touch the ice cream so I took a scoop in my spoon and hovered it near his mouth indicating him to have a taste.

"I can eat it myself, you don't need to feed me" he said insensitively. HOW RUDE! I don't know why, I was already half sleepy and was kind of cranky and he wasn't making things any better. "You're rude" I said as I fumed and ate the spoonful of ice cream that I scooped for him. "Ok, now love, can you feed me? My hands are tired" he said trying to redeem himself for his rude behaviour.

Sorry Scamander, your tricks won't work on me. "No, you can eat all you want by YOURSELF" I said, still chewing on the cold ice cream with my mouth full. Lysander then climbed on me and kissed me super randomly and I got agitated. "Oi!" I snapped as he just kissed me. Your kisses can't flatter me Mr. LyLy.

"Sorry" he said. "GET OFF ME!" I screamed. "Shh, it's midnight, stop screaming" he muttered as he pushed me onto my bed to prevent me from running away from him. "Get off me you fucking bitch, this is sexual harassment" I said trying to push him away. "I want ice cream" he whined like a kid. "Go eat by yourself like how you want to" I said stubbornly. "Stop being so cold to me my love" he said trying to flatter me again, but it ain't gonna work.

I turned my head away as he crashed his lips onto mine and he licked my lips as his tongue made it's way to the inside of my mouth and he licked the melted essence of the ice cream I had in my mouth. MR. SCAMANDER THAT'S JUST SO DISGUSTING, IS HE POSSESSED WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

I pulled his hair and pushed him away and he just smiled like a psycho, "I ate a little bit of the ice cream you offered me and it had a special ingredient mixed with it" he said. HE'S JUST SO STUPID. HOW THE FUCK IS SALIVA AN INGREDIENT, THIS IS JUST DISGUSTING.

"You're so moody cause you're sleepy" he said as he pulled me into his arms as I rested my head on his shoulders. I closed my eyes just for a second to take a 2 second power nap.

-BLANK-

I felt someone's leg over mine, I went up as my back felt quite cramped and I opened my eyes to find myself hugging my Lysander's chest. I lifted my head up to look at his calm resting face, he looked like he had finally been accepted as the king of the devils with the sense of satisfaction and peace in his bitch resting face.

He was still asleep and looked so cute. I pulled myself up to his face and looked at the calmness and I got the sudden urge to kiss his soft delicate lips which were all loosened up. I moved forward and kissed his lips softly.

He immediately opened his eyes and pulled away from me and widened his eyes, freaking out, "Did we sleep together?" he moaned in a sleepy voice trying to wake his brain up. "Technically, but nothing happened" I said.

"OH GOSH WHAT IF LORCAN FOUND OUT I WAS GONE THE WHOLE NIGHT? SHIT" he said as he opened his eyes wide awake. "How the hell can you just wake up and your brain can process so quickly?" I asked as I leaned in for a kiss again.

"I didn't brush, my breath is bad, no kissing"
