For the 30 Days of Gays Challenge on HPFC. Also for the Slash/Femslash Pairing Boot Camp with the prompt: relax


Gentle fingers wander up Angelina's arms and she shivers, head leaning back against the cold tile of he Gryffindor changing rooms. The rest of the team is waiting for them. Practice was meant to start a few minutes ago. And normally Angelina would care, would be the first out on the pitch, in fact... but...

"Just relax," Katie whispers. Her fingertips linger here and there as they travel their way back down the girl's arms to her hands. She rubs swirling patterns over her shoulders, the inside of her elbows, her wrists. "It's only a game."

"I know," Angelina murmurs.

Katie has found the callouses on her hands from the years of gripping a broomstick. Angelina sighs as Katie draws them to her lips. "You really should wear gloves."

"I know," Angelina says again, squirming as she feels Katie lean in closer. She smells like strawberries and her hands are so warm and tender and they leave Angelina wanting more but now is not the time. It's never the right time. Never the right place. "Merlin, Katie, stop teasing."

Katie only smiles smugly and places a kiss on Angelina's cheek before handing over her broomstick. "You know I've never been good at pep talks, love."

"Yes, well," Angelina gathers herself, almost embarrassed that she had practically become a melted puddle on the floor. "I certainly prefer yours to Oliver's."
