"This is a one-time only deal, right?" Lucius Malfoy asked reluctantly. He ran his fingers through his long blond hair and fidgeted nervously with the edge of his pajama top.

"Of course. Just a 'one time to see what it's like' sort of thing." Severus Snape nodded his head vigorously; his greasy black hair flopping in random directions. The two fifteen year-olds were sitting cross-legged across from each other on Severus's bed in the Slytherin dorm.

"And other people do this, too?" Lucius was still unsure.

"Trust me, dude, everyone experiments at one point in their life."

"And you won't tell anyone? Especially Narcissa?"

"I promise, no one will find out." Severus was nervous, too, but he wished they would just get it over with, rather than circle the drain with the same questions over and over again.

"Ok, fine." Lucius closed his eyes and sat still.

Severus leaned in, cradled Lucius's face in his hand, and kissed him on the lips. It wasn't anything dramatic, and no fireworks starting going off in either one's head. Instead, when Severus sat back again, the two just stared at each other blankly, "Yeah I like girls." Both said at the same time.

Lucius swung his legs off the bed and hopped down onto the floor, "If you tell anyone, I will kill you in your sleep." He crawled into his bed and closed his eyes.

The two were silent for a long time, before Severus leaped up and screamed, "HEY NARCISSA, GUESS WHAT?" as he ran from the room. He didn't get very far before Lucius tackled him from behind and pinned him down.

"Don't. Even. THINK about it." Lucius hissed in Severus's ear.

"Get OFF me, I was just kidding!" Severus exclaimed, wriggling out from under his best friends crushing body, "You know, you're going to be married to Narcissa someday and we are going to look back on this and laugh our heads off."

"Yeah, right. The day I get married is the day you finally wash your hair." Lucius said, pulling at a lock of Severus's hair, "Narcissa's pretty hot, but I don't see it going any farther than seventh year. Sure, she's a great person and she'll make a good wife to someone someday, but not to me. I'm a lone wolf. Always have been, always will be."

"Sure. That's so false. And I will quote that to you on your wedding day." Severus got back up and walked back to the room.

Lucius stood up after him, "But seriously, dude, don't tell anyone."
