Chapter Sixteen: Favourites"Other men said they have seen angels,
But I have seen thee
And thou art enough."
-G. Moore
"Hmmm. Favourite colour?"
Sirius though for a moment. "Red. Sunrise or sunset?"
"Sunset. It's prettier. Mountains or beaches?"
"Mountains, they remind me of Hogwarts."
She smiled, taking another mouthful of her chocolate ice cream. They had been playing this game nearly all morning. Now, tiny rays of sunlight were slithering across the bed where Sirius lay and Anna sat, dappling and dancing in her dazzling hair. At some point in the last fifteen minutes Anna had declared she was craving chocolate ice cream, whipped out her wand and conjured the small tub out of nowhere, along with two silver spoons.
"Your turn," she reminded him.
"Um..." he pondered for a moment. "Birthdays or Christmas?
"Christmas. Everyone gets presents. Cold or hot?"
"Cold. It's a good excuse."
"For what?"
"For you to snuggle up to me."
She laughed, throwing a pillow at him.
"Thanks," he said, catching the pillow and placing it comfortably under his head. "Rain or shine?"
"Rain. Blonde or brown?"
"What colour is your hair?"
"Reddish brown."
"Then I like reddish brown. Making love or having sex?"
She snorted. "Trust you to come up with the sexually-orientated questions. Someone's got a one-tracked mind."
"Hey, you were asking some pretty provocative questions before."
"Like what?" she scoffed.
"'Chocolate or ice cream?'"
"Sirius, that's food."
"'Slow or fast?'"
"Hey! There were plenty of different ways that you could've taken that question! Just because-"
"Answer the question, Anna," he snickered.
She blushed. "Making love, I guess."
"Sweet and shy or dark and mysterious?" she said, hastily changing the subject before Sirius could make some smart-arse comment.
"Sweet and mysterious."
"Sirius, that's not an option."
"Oh well. Morning or night?"
"Morning. Talking or whispering?"
"Whispering. Love or lust?"
"A combination of both."
"That's not an option, Anna."
"Shut up. If you could be any superhero who would you be?"
He thought for a minute. "Spiderman. You?"
"Well, it's either Catwoman or Wonderwoman. So I guess I'll go with Catwoman. But cats eat birds, so I suppose that wouldn't work..." she trailed off.
"You have ice-cream on your face."
"Sirius, you've tried this before."
"Oh, but you really do."
She grinned coyly and licked her lips. "Is it gone?"
He advanced slowly towards her. "Yes."
"Then why are you coming over here?"
He quickly Vanished the ice cream with his wand. "I wanna see if you taste like ice cream."
She laughed. "Sirius, that was the worst line ever."
He shrugged, inches from her face. "I know, but I had nothing else."
He extended his hand, placing a soft finger under her chin, tilting it upwards towards his face. Wrapping his other arm around her waist he arched her back to him, giving her a burning, passionate kiss on her delectable lips, delving deep into her mouth and exploring the caverns within. He ran his hands through her hair and down to the small of her back. She pressed her body against his, her hands sliding up the inside of his shirt on his back. He broke away, leaving her panting and flushed.
"Well?" she said huskily.
"'Well' what?" he asked as he lowered her back onto the pillows, running his fingertips down her collarbone. Predictably, she shivered. She's like putty in my hands, he smiled.
"Do I taste like ice cream?"
He grinned wickedly. "Oops. I forgot. I'll have to taste again."
A/N: Aahhh... pointless fluff. Well, you asked for it. Dunno if it was good fluff, but I didn't want it to be completely pointless, so it's fluff under the pretext of them getting to know each other better. Heh. Anyway, hope you liked it. You know what's coming... REVIEW!!!!
