Severus stared at his opponent, eyes narrowed. Sneering, he crossed his arms and settled back in his seat, daring the chit to say a word. Just one word.
His opponent stared back, reaching up a hand to brush silky blue hair away from her face. Her eyes narrowed in mockery of him, and she leaned forward tauntingly. A slim blue brow arched as she looked down at the board between them, and picked up one of her generals. Bringing the metal figure up close to her lips, she whispered something in his ear, and sat him back down. Immediately the general began issuing orders and Tonks smiled as she tossed the figurative ball back into his court.
He growled silently, and reach down, prodding one diminutive figure with his finger. Immediately it withdrew its sword and sliced at him, and Snape snatched his finger back, glaring at the bright drop of blood that welled to the surface. "This is not fair. These bloody pieces are prejudiced." He spat, before sticking the wounded digit in his mouth before he realised what he was doing. At that time, he whipped out his wand and healed the light cut, then lifted a hand to rub between his brows in frustration.
The woman opposing him smirked lazily and gently patted a few of her troops on the head."Or maybe..." She grinned, "you're just a git and they don't like that."
"They could not possibly know the meaning of the word git! All they have to do is obey my commands, and promptly."
"Severus, these pieces are well on their way to a hundred years old. They perfectly well know a git from a sweet player, like moi."
"Sweet my ar-"
"Ah-ah. Language, Severus." Tonks couldn't resist the urge to laugh as she turned the tables on him from that night so seemingly long ago.
"Mind your betters, woman."
"I will when I meet them, man." This was the last straw for the frustrated Potions master, who shot to his feet and glared at the metamorphmagus.
"You are the most infuriating, irritating chit that I have ever had the displeasure of spending time around. This is not an ongoing conte-" He stopped for Tonks had risen to her feet and stepped around the board until she was a mere hands-breadth from him. "contest..." Her eyes were hot, a liquid gold that froze him in his spot.
"Yes, Severus?" She asked, her voice oozing like slytherin silk. Her cheeks were flushed, with what he didnt exactly know, and her lips glimmered with the gloss he knew she was fond of. "Continue..." Nymphadora breathed, sounding positively deadly, daring him to continue to insult her, so that she could react.
He swallowed hard. "contest to see who can one up the..." He froze again as her hand came up to rest on his cheek. It trailed down to his lips and her fingers paused there, lightly touching him.
"You want to know why I do that?" She said as he fell silent again, only to nod in response to her, his black eyes shining. "Because Severus..." She stood on the tips of her toes to bring her mouth closer on level to his, and slid her hands up to his shoulders. "arguing with you gives me a rush like you wouldn't believe. Now shut it, you old bat." and with that, she leaned forward, closing the remaining few inches and pressed her mouth to his.
Her lips were slightly open, as his were, and she caught his lower lip in her mouth, drawing it in and sucking on it lightly before releasing it and twining her fingers through his cleaner than usual hair as she angled her lips to take his mouth fully.
Almost instantly he reacted, his hands coming to her waist, and sliding to her lower back as he brought her close, absently noting that his hands could span her back easily. As he pulled her full against him, he smiled against her lips as her breath caught, and then he began to kiss her back. Severus didn't kiss her gently, no romance was involved. Instead he rotated his hips forward as his tongue darted out, touching her lower lip and then slipping inside her mouth. One hand came up from her lower back, trailing up her spine until he felt the thick mass of her hair, and then he grabbed a handful and tugged her head back abruptly.
She gave a small cry of shock and a little pain, and the Potions master grinned ferally at her before taking her lips again in a storm of movement that broke the tension in the air and left her weak in the knees as she met his lips eagerly. They kissed until the need for air became too much, and then broke away from eachother, Tonks stumbling backwards until she regained her balance, and Snape running his fingers through his disheveled hair as he stared at her again.
They were both breathing heavily, eyes regretful at the parting, and amazed at the kiss itself. He watched hungrily as she brought her fingertips up to her lips, pressing gently against the bruised and slightly swollen flesh. He wanted to kiss her again. He could taste her still and it was all he could do not to storm her again.
She drew in a deep breath, swallowed hard, and looked down at the floor before her eyes met his again. Nymphadora's mouth opened, but no sound came out. Her eyes went back down to the floor and she licked her lower lip tentatively, tasting him still on her.
Seeing how disoriented she was, Snape felt amusement bubbling up inside him, and a chuckle broke the silence finally before he said. "Still think I'm an old bat?"
Tonks grabbed one of the soft throw pillows off of the chair behind her and threw it at him.
That just made the potions master laugh even more.

A/N: i know this was short but i wanted to get something out, and thought their first kiss deserved a page alone.
Thanks to my beta, teentypist, chickadee, and ella palladino for reviewing.
Ps. I had SO many problems writing this. I've never been kissed like that, so please please please tell me if something wasn't right in it.
Love, Genari
