There was no describing what I felt when I looked into his twinkling blue eyes. Did he know? Had he seen my blush, heard my breath quicken, felt my heart hammer as he embraced me? We apparated and parted. He gave no indication that anything was out of the ordinary to him, but... Was that a smile? A wink? My eyes widened while my mind wondered.
"Albus!"
Minerva ran up to us and proceeded to tell him how irresposible it was to leave his post unattended for so long. Anything that was on my mind previous was pushed aside as they both excused themselves from my company. Why was I there anyway? I strolled through the gates, across the grounds and into the entrance hall. I decided to retire, if I was needed elsewhere they would call on me.
I woke, someone was knocking on my door. Getting vertical made me dizzy, but I ignored it. Wand in hand, I walked out of the bedroom and went to open the door to my quarters. Blue eyes met mine, I stepped aside to let him in and closed the door after.
"Some tea?"
He replied in the affirmative and for a moment I stood there, dumbly looking at him. When my sleep addled brain started working again I rushed to get some tea.
He had sat down on the couch, I placed the tea and biscuits on the small table before moving to sit down as well. Albus coughed and waved his wand. I felt his magic brush against me and looked down to see I was now wearing a purple shirt with my night pants. Blushingly I realized I'd forgotten to put on a shirt before opening the door.
I stared into the fire as we drank our tea, he must've started it while I was gone. Why was he here? I chanced a glance and found he was staring at me in a peculiar way. It burned me, pleasantly so.
He was so close, my heart sped up. My eyes were locked with his. That twinkle. It beckoned me closer. He smiled. I frowned. Why? I blinked, I'd been the one moving closer to him.
Surprise.
His lips were... Soft. Slowly, gently, the kiss deepened and I pressed closer. His hands around me, our mouths connected. We connected. His lips released me and we breathed deeply. Hands still holding me, heads still touching, smell of lemon surrounding me. I gazed at him, dazed.
He stared back.
Twinkling.
