~Number 4~
~Orange Coconut~
~pairing: lily/scorpius~
~extra prompts: swirl, envelope, glamour~
With a swirl of orange silk, she envelopes him in a hug of the bone-crushing sort that he's only ever had from Lily. She smells of the coconut-scented oil she uses to take the greasepaint off.
"Scorpius! You came!"
He grins, although somewhat sheepishly, since he knows that he's been terrible at keeping in touch. Since his break-up with Rose, he has avoided all of her family, even Lily. He'd hoped that nobody had noticed; that the glamour of Lily's new world would have kept her distracted; but judging by her expression of surprised delight, she has noticed all right.
"Course I did!" is all he says, "It's your first time as the leading lady! I wouldn't miss it…"
The smile she rewards him with makes him glad he made the effort (because he almost chickened out) and it also makes his heart beat in a way he isn't sure he understands. Because this isn't Rose, it's Lily, his best friend.
He watches the show, and it is good. Lily is dazzling, and the audience go wild.
His eyes dwell only on her, and he knows that something has changed forever.
