Severus sighed. It had been a whole week since his encounter with Lucius Malfoy and Severus was irritated. Very irritated. He still couldn't figure out what Lucius had meant when he had told him to 'figure it out himself'. Lucius Malfoy was an enigma. One minute, he acted as though he had never even seen Severus before and the next he smirked at him in a very irritating way that screamed 'I know something that you don't!'

So, it was with a thumping heart and a determined face that Severus went to talk to Lucius just as he was coming out of his last class of the day, surrounded by his so-called friends that made Severus feel nauseous.

"Malfoy." He said loudly, as to be heard above the chattering and loud voices of the other students. Hearing his voice, Lucius turned to him, "I wondered how long it would take for you to approach me. Seems I didn't have to wait long." He then turned to his followers and, motioning them to leave, he came near Severus and led him into an empty corridor nearby.

"So, Severus," Lucius purred in a way that made Severus blush, the reason for that blush unfathomable to Severus himself, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"L-last week," Severus stuttered, cursing himself for doing so, "What… what did you mean?" He looked up at Lucius with an adorably determined face, waiting for his answer.

"I told you to figure it out yourself, didn't I?" Lucius replied, inwardly chuckling at the cute look on Severus' face.

"Yes, but…" He started, diverting his eyes from Lucius', and then sighed, as if he were fighting an internal battle with himself, "Why do you have to be so…so…frustrating? Why can't you just tell me what you mean?"

"You really wanna know?" Severus' looked up at Lucius, and immediately regretted it as he saw a devious smirk in Lucius' face. Somewhat hesitantly, Severus nodded and his eyes widened with shock as Lucius swept down and pressed his lips to Severus'. The taste of cinnamon engulfed him as Lucius easily slipped his tongue into Severus' mouth, marveling at Severus' flavor of bitter coffee.

Pulling back, Lucius looked at Severus, who was still trying to process what had happened, with an accomplished smirk on his face, leaned near Severus' ear and whispered,

"You're cute."
