Sirius/Severus

[kinky-kneazle.livejournal.com]

Severus stood on the rock, jutting out over the water. He wasn't sure how he came to be here, especially since he'd never done particularly well with heights. While it wasn't his life that flashed before his eyes, the last month certainly did.

There was young Regulus Black graduating a year behind him and desperate for a holiday away from the stifling love of his mother. She wanted him to have a companion and Severus had found he couldn't say no, especially with the opportunity to pick Thessalonikian Turtleweed fresh from the Grecian seaside.

There was Severus Black, the bane of his existence, waiting in the shadows by the Black holiday home. It was all planned, apparently; an opportunity to for the brothers to spend some time together for the first time in three years. Regulus had been forbidden to speak to his brother on pain of disinheritance.

There was Severus, uncomfortable in the house with his schoolyard bully also in residence. He spent his time foraging for ingredients, a large black stray padding along with him. Somehow the dog became company and he found himself chatting to it, breaking the habit of silence formed over a lifetime.

Then came an apology. A forehead resting against his own as Sirius Black admitted he was a total berk, but that the Shack thing was completely idiotic and he should have been sent down for it. A thumb brushing across his fingers as Sirius Black said thank you for keeping the secret; that Remus didn't deserve to be punished for Sirius' idiocy. Then there was that confession, the reason why Sirius tormented him, followed by a shy kiss.

Severus stood looking down at the water. Regulus Black was down there – his best friend for years. So was Sirius, a man who wanted so much more than friendship. In the water was his future, and for the first time ever Severus wanted to see where it lead.

He leaped.

Title Dare Scorpius
Summary Sometimes you just need to dare Score into things
Pairing Albus/Scorpius
Word count 200

“Al!” Score shouted at him as he jumped off the cliff.

Albus felt so free falling down, and it got even better when he landed in the water. When he resurfaced, he called to Score, “You have to do it! It’s so awesome. You’ll feel so good, I promise.”

Score still looked dubious, and so lost in thought about the whole thing, that he almost fell when James rushed past him, jumping off the cliff after his brother. Albus suppressed a laugh, as he knew that would not help his boyfriends courage.

“Score, come on, get that shirt off and jump off. If you are the -0.1% that gets killed doing it, you can come back to haunt my arse.” Albus said, hoping Score wouldn’t take all day. Albus kind of wanted to go again.

“Come on you pussy! Just jump, since when are you one to let Gryffindors beat you?!”

Albus almost turned to defend his boyfriend, and maybe kill his brother, before he realised this was probably just the push Score needed.

Albus saw he was right, when he saw, and felt, Score land in the water.

Sometimes you just needed to dare Score into doing things.
