Author's Note: The Muse Bunny strikes again! I've been thinking about the Asphyxiation prompt for a while, but I wasn't quite ready to get a start on it, because I had a hard time coming up with what I was going to do. Considering my age, I'm not going to take the obvious route . . . but I will write a romance. Watch where it takes me.
Prompt: "Oh, well, as long as it was a good suffocation."
Lily Evans never expected it. She never thought that she could be minding her own business, on her way to class, and suddenly find that feeling, the starry-eyed, dizzy sensation that came with a pounding heart and the press against her lips . . .
She never expected that no one would be able to hear her scream as the hand, strong and familiar, slammed over her mouth and she was dragged by the hair into a cramped, unlit broom closet.
It occurred to her at this point that she couldn't actually breathe. White spots dotted her vision, and the more she struggled, the more the hand tightened about her jaw. Then, suddenly, she was released. Before she could take a breath, the fingers were replaced with something else.
She nearly passed out in his mouth.
"God, Sirius," she managed when he finally pulled away. "That was practically abusive."
"Oh, well, as long as it was a good suffocation."
He strode casually out to the corridor, as though he spent time in small, darkened spaces all the time. Which was probably true.
Meanwhile, Lily stayed in the closet and wept on behalf of the boy who wouldn't let his best friend have a chance.
