Pairing: GinnyDraco

Prompt: Right

His breath ghosts across her skin and it feels like heaven. All of this - them standing so close and the darkness shrouding them – is just, well, perfect. Everything just fits.

Except for the fact that they should not be standing this close, his eyes shouldn't be fixated on hers so intently, and shivers shouldn't be running down her spine. That is the unspoken rule. He has standards and she has a boyfriend, for crying out loud.

"We shouldn't be here," she says tentatively, breaking the silence.

"But we are," he breaths, causing another shiver.

"I-I don't think... This isn't a good idea."

"Give one reason why. And not a stupid, cliché reason. A real one."

"This is against the rules."

"Rules are meant to be broken."

"Not this one. Morals, ethics, standards-"

"Since when have you cared? Since when have we cared?"

"I...we...never."

"Exactly."

And with that he bends down and presses his lips effortlessly onto hers. Shivers run up and down her spine and he smiles into the kiss. It, this, them feels so right she almost can't stand it. She responds to his sweet kiss before she can think twice. Until she stops.

Because she has a boyfriend and he has standards, don't you remember?

"I can't do this. This isn't right, the rules..."

"Ginny. Stop. Rules are meant to be broken; we've covered this."

"No, we can't do this. I'm sorry..."

Pulling her cloak closer, she runs away, slipping out of his sight and into the night, as suddenly as she came. He knows he should go after her, knows he should go after her, knows he should convince her what he already knows: that what just happened was everything he's ever wanted. But he doesn't because he's afraid and a coward and maybe this rule really wasn't meant to be broken.
