Author's Notes: Written for nearlyconscious's Sapphic Stocking at hpsapphicappeal. The request that I filled was Padma/Pansy, snark, banter, power struggles, librarian!Padma
)O(
Pansy found Padma in the library where she worked. Well, perhaps 'found' wasn't exactly the right word. 'Sought out for the third day in a row because Padma was spending too damn much time there and not enough with her' was a better way of putting it.
Padma glanced only casually at Pansy when she caught here on the top floor, organizing a row of dry-looking books in matching black covers.
"Go away, Pansy. I'm busy."
"Busy? That looks boring," Pansy said, leaning against the shelf. "Why not leave early? Come home with me. I'm a lot more fun than book shelving is."
Padma whacked Pansy smartly across the backside with the book she was holding. "You need to learn when you should keep your mouth shut."
"You say that a lot," Pansy said, rubbing herself where Padma had hit her. "And then you go right ahead and reward me for being insolent."
"I don't reward you," Padma told her, going back to shelving the books, though with significantly darker cheeks.
"Oh, really? When have you ever told me to shut up and then followed that up by not fucking me raw?" Pansy's lip curled and she crossed her arms defiantly across her chest. "Name just one time. I'll bet that you can't. And getting fucked isn't a punishment, not even if you tie me up or spank me or gag me before it starts."
Padma set down her book and sucked in a long breath through her teeth. She closed her eyes and let it out slowly, then opened her eyes and gave Pansy a sickeningly bright smile.
"You're right, Pansy," she said.
Pansy was a little thrown off by how easily Padma had been swayed, but it just bolstered her confidence, and she plucked at the front of her blouse.
"That's right. You can't resist me, can you?"
"Oh, I can." Padma's smile didn't falter, but she turned away and started shelving books again. "Thank you for pointing out my error."
"Your...?"
"I'll make sure that from now on, when you annoy me, I'll avoid fucking you. Maybe that'll break you of the habit of being such an absolute pain in the arse."
