FLIGHT OF FANCY
Chapter Two
Oh…
My…
God…
What have I done? What was I thinking? Kissing a student…and Harry, of all people!
I'm supposed to be a man with principles.
If Dumbledore ever got word of this…
James, damn you! You're the one to be blamed for this.
"Would you look at that! They're at it again. It's disgusting!," a young Severus Snape told his Slytherin friends.
"Who is?" the older student with silver blond hair, who was seated across Snape, asked.
"Who else? James Potter and that blasted Sirius Black! Just look at them, they're practically all over each other. They might as well hold up a sign that says, "HANDS OFF. PRIVATE PROPERTY."
The older student chuckled. "Is that jealousy I hear beneath that hatred?"
The younger student shook his head adamantly.
"Oh, come on now! Don't deny it. You've been ogling at that Potter boy for the longest time…,"
"I have not been ogling!"
"Okay I believe you, whatever you say. Just so you know, I've also seen Potter ogling at you quiet a few times…,"
The young Severus Snape stood up. He had enough.
"You want me to prove it to you, Lucius? Fine! I'm going to go there to the Gryffindor table right now and bring James here! And then, you could ask him personally!, " he told him. He did not like it when people test his patience. Before Lucius could reply, he marched down towards the Gryffindor table, ignoring the glares of some Gryffindor students as he passed them by.
"Potter, we have to talk,"
"Scram Snape. You're not wanted here," Sirius Black told him. He inched closer to James as if to protect him.
"I wasn't talking to you, Black. Or is you're name Potter now?" Snape hissed. He could feel his temperature rising.
"You take that back! Or else…," Sirius threatened.
"Or else what? " Snape challenged.
"STOP IT!" It was James.
"Sirius, stop threatening Snape. Snape, what is it that you want to talk about?" James asked.
Severus Snape's voice relaxed and softened.
"Can I borrow you for a minute?" The young Severus Snape noticed that James was trying hard not to laugh at what he said.
"Whatever for?"
"I just need to clear something out. This won't take awhile," Snape said. He noticed that Sirius was about to say something but James stopped him from speaking. James looked at his boyfriend waiting for his approval. When he saw him nod, he spoke to Snape.
"Fine. Just for a minute, " he said and stood up.
"This won't take long. Let's go," Snape said walking ahead. However, instead of going to the Slytherin table, he changed his mind and proceeded instead to an unused classroom just outside the Great Hall. He did not want Lucius or the rest of his housemates to hear any of this. Severus could hear faint footsteps coming from behind him. Once he saw James going around the corner, he grabbed him and pushed him inside the room.
"What was that all about?" James asked rubbing his arm.
"Have you been ogling at me?" Severus Snape asked him. It was no use to beat around the bush.
"Wha-tt?" James stuttered.
"You heard me."
"I—I don't know what you mean! In case you haven't noticed I'm with Sirius…," he told him.
"Hah! I knew it! Lucius was just pulling my leg!" Snape said to himself, forgetting that James was still in the room.
"Can I ask you a question then?" James asked him.
"What? Oh, right. What is it?" Severus asked distracted.
"Have you been ogling at me?" James asked stepping closer to Severus.
"Me? Of course not! I'm not into you know…," Snape stammered.
"Same sex relationships?" James asked him softly moving in closer now.
Snape gulped.
"Yes, if that's the way you put it," he said, taking a step back.
"How would you put it then?"
"Oh, I don't know I guess just like what you said," James was awfully close to him now. Snape took one more step back, unfortunately there was nowhere else to go except through the wall. He gulped again.
"I never answered you're question," James told him.
"But you did….," Snape said. Without warning, James pushed him in the wall none too gently and kissed him. The initial reaction of Snape was not of disgust but warmth. He responded immediately and was welcomed with the hot tongue of James exploring his own mouth. He could feel himself harden as James pressed his body into his. James must have felt it because he heard him groan.
"James…" he moaned. It was then that he felt the other man's hands reach the clasp of his robes.
"What are you doing?" Snape asked between breaths.
"Hush. Just something that I think you would enjoy." James got down on his knees. Severus Snape could not believe that this was happening.
"You're going to….?" Snape asked bewildered.
"Oh, come on now! Don't tell me you hadn't had a blowjob before!" James exclaimed.
Snape shook his head.
"Well, well, well that's a surprise! Oh well, in that case, I think we should get started, huh? " James said. Before Snape could react. James unclasped his robes revealing his now hard erection. He took it in his hand and slowly stroked it.
Snape moaned.
"Have I told you that you look beautiful when you're in ecstasy?" James said, squeezing.
"Oh, do shut up! Just….just get on with it!" Snape said huskily. He felt James hand move up and down his erection faster and faster…
He felt that he was going to explode. Without any warning, James took him in his mouth. He felt him sucking and licking him in every part as he could possibly could. James' mouth swallowed him up deeper and deeper, his hands twisting with rhythm.
He screamed out James' name when he could not take it anymore. He exploded into James mouth and he in turn willingly swallowed every last drop of his cum. James stood up and gave him a sweet and deep kiss on his mouth.
"Feel like changing your mind now?" James whispered in his ear.
"It's over?" Snape said out of breath.
"Why? Do you want more?" James asked him giving him a wicked smile.
"Does Black know that you do this?" Snape asked him. He was still a bit out of breath.
James turned solemn.
"It won't matter anyway," he said.
"Why ever not?" The young Severus Snape asked. It took a few seconds for James to respond.
"Because he's in love with someone else," he told him.
"Ahh…and how do you know that?" I shouldn't be prying, I shouldn't be prying… The young Snape thought to himself like a mantra.
James leaned back on the wall and avoided Snape's calculating gaze.
"Something's changed. He does not look at me like the way he had looked at me before. I could just feel it. We're not as close as we were once before. I think he moved on to someone else…,"
His voice trailed off. Snape was taken aback. He did not expect this from him.
"So," Snape said darkly, "you decided to make yourself feel better by doing this to me?" He asked, feeling the anger rise again.
"No! It's not like that…"
"Then what?" Snape prompted.
James sighed.
"You're not going to like what I am about to say," James said.
"Try me."
"You're sure?"
"Yes, yes. Just get it out of your system. I think we've spent too much time in here already," Snape told him. He could hear the footsteps and chatter of the student body retreating to their respective houses. Damn, I missed dessert!
"Sirius has and will always be my closest friend. I never wanted anything more or less than that.
Things just got out of hand last year and Sirius took it the wrong way. I think that what we did wrong was that we did not want to hurt each other's feelings, so up until now we've been pretending that everything's okay. I realized just recently that we were wrong. "
"When are you going to tell him?" Snape blurted out before he could stop himself. This was a personal issue for James but he couldn't help asking. James on the other hand, did not seem to mind.
"Tonight. It's better sooner than later. "
Snape merely nodded.
"Well, I better go now. Sirius would probably kill you if I'm not there in one minute," James said. He gave Snape a peck in his cheek before turning towards the door.
"Wait!" Snape called out to him. James turned around to face him.
"I…er…why exactly did you kiss me and ermm…you know…? Oh, Severus that was really eloquent!
James gave him a knowing smile.
"Do you really want to know?"
"I wouldn't be asking you if I didn't."
"Because, beneath all that sarcasm and insults, there is something inside you that is willing to love. And also, I've had a crush on you since second year. Not to mention I find you to be a handsome fellow, if you wash your hair often. And…,"
"Yes, okay. I think I get the picture here. I….Wait! Did you just say you have a crush on me?"
The young Snape asked.
"Since second year. Do you have a problem with that?" James asked smiling now.
"Yes! I mean no…I find that flattering. I have a confession to make also actually," he said.
"I'm all ears."
"I've had a crush on you since my second year too."
"You don't know how odd that sounds coming from you. I don't mean it as an insult okay? I'm not used to seeing this version of Snape, proclaiming his love for me. "
"Don't push it. "
