A/N: Hola amigos! Thank you to everybody that's favourited this story, it means a lot ^-^ As to the last chapter, I hope it was satisfactory?
I really think you guys will like this chapter, a lot happens *wink wink* In a nutshell and without spoilers, it's about the two discussing what had happened, but I won't reveal anything for you until you've read it!
Just a little tip for you here: When I write chapters for this particular FF, I don't imagine Snape as a nasty, ugly, greasy teenager. In my imagination and in my story, I think it's more effective if you imagine Snape as slightly more good looking and attractive. You know, tall, mysterious, long hair, etc. Kind of like L from Death Note? Otherwise it might seem a bit cringey...? Don't feel that you have to though, it's just my recommendation.
Happy reading, guyz :3

Snape perched under a tree by the edge of the lake absentmindedly tossing pebbles into the dark rippling depths, just as he had been doing for the past hour. He knew that Lily wouldn't have turned up, and wondered why he himself had bothered either.
He mentally scolded himself. How could I be so stupid? I've hidden my feelings for Lily for this long, why couldn't I have just held onto them for longer? I just couldn't keep my mouth shut -or far away enough from Lily's- and carry on as usual, could I?
He slumped down against the tree trunk. He knew blown up their friendship with his actions; Lily wouldn't even talk to him, let alone consider staying friends.
Snape checked his watch. It was ten to ten, and Lily obviously wasn't coming. He sighed heavily, got up from under the tree and walked to the edge of the lake. Much to his dismay, the heavens happened to open up just as he'd got up. For a few minutes, he just stood there, letting the rain drops fall over him and fall into the lake. Within minutes, his hair and clothes became increasingly damp, and the cold began to seep in.
Then, as quickly as it had began, the rain suddenly ceased. Confused, Snape looked up, and to his surprise noticed and umbrella floating above his head. Connected to the umbrella was a long and slender arm that belonged to none other than the very person he'd been waiting to meet.

Lily didn't look up. She just stared forward at the ripples in the lake, as Snape stared at her in bewilderment.
"I thought you weren't going to come," Snape murmured.
Lily took her time to reply. "So did I, and yet… somehow I find myself standing here beside you." She still hadn't looked at him. "What did you want to talk about?"
Snape continued staring at her. "Are you serious? You don't know what I want to talk about? About... About what happened? I thought you'd want to-"
"Sev, please. I don't want to talk about what happened…" Lily interrupted loudly. "It- it wasn't meant to happen, and so, we'll just pretend it didn't, okay?"
Snape's jaw dropped. "How can you not want to talk about it? Don't you need to? I'm sorry for what I did, Lily, but I just couldn't help it… And for what I said about loving you… I do love you, just not like I meant it that night… I'm sorry Lily, I don't know what I can do to resolve it all, I just really-"

Lily had had enough. She threw the umbrella down onto the ground. "Sev! Just shut up! I don't want to talk about it, so just leave it at that! You don't know how hard you're making this for me, how hard it is to deal with everything that's going around in my head right now! I'm a wreck, Sev!" Lily was crying now, and it was difficult for Snape to tell where her tears began and the rain ended. "It's entirely your fault, if you hadn't… hadn't… kissed me, then I wouldn't be in this mess! It's all because of you that my life has turned upside down; it's all because of you that I feel this way! Why did you have to kiss me, Sev, why?"

Snape quickly processed what Lily had just screamed at him. "Feel what way, Lil? You mean that… you feel… That you…?" He stumbled on his words, hurrying to find the right ones without making himself look like a forward idiot.
Lily had calmed down and wiped away her tears, but an essence of anger still lay in her voice. "I- I don't know, Sev… I don't know how I feel. Ever since that night, my mind's just- I don't know. I think I do… I hope I don't because, that just isn't right with us but… but…"
Snape came to the conclusion that there was no subtle way to ask what he wanted to ask. "Lily, do you like me?" He felt like such an arse for asking it as Lily's eyes became wide and she began to stutter.
"I- No! I don't like… Well, I don't think I… Yes, I- Oh, I DON'T KNOW, SEV!" She burst into tears again. Snape couldn't help but step towards her and wipe away her tears, even though he could tell this was probably a bad move.
"Lily, how can you not know?" He said softly. "I mean, you either like someone, or you don't…"
Lily managed to stop sniffling and calm herself enough to reply. "I love you, Sev, as a friend. You're my best friend. But… ever since my birthday, and what- what happened… I can't help but feel a little different… But I don't want to, Sev! This shouldn't happen, we're friends! I just can't… decide… how I feel about you!"

Snape knew that the move he was about to make could either go amazingly well, or ruin their friendship forever. "Maybe this will… Will help you decide, Lil."
Before Lily could say anything else, he stepped closer to her and moved the red hair that was plastered to her face. He put his hands on her shoulders, angled his head slightly and planted his lips on hers. However, he knew what he was doing this time; it wasn't a drunken mistake, he was sober, he'd thought it out. If Lily needed to decide on her feelings, then this was the only way that he could think of.
The kiss was gentle, sweet and short. It wasn't forced and sudden as it had been on the night of Lily's birthday. He broke away from her, leaving her with her lips slightly parted and a dazed look across her face.
"Well? Anything? Did- Do you feel anything? Did it make a difference, or-"
Snape couldn't finish his sentence, because just as he'd paused for her reply, Lily had flung her arms around his neck and was kissing him with so much passion that he almost stumbled backwards. Snape couldn't help but kiss her back with great intensity; all of the stresses and tensions of his hidden feelings were relieved in these moments of passion. Lily too, hadn't realised until now how much she had actually craved her best friends' touch, his kiss…
With deep regret, Snape broke off the kiss for a second time, actually having to put pressure on Lily's shoulders in order to stop her making another advance. "I'll take that… as a yes, then?" He grinned widely.
Lily wrapped her arms around his neck again, and looked up into his dark grey eyes. "Shut up, Sev. I'll hate you forever for this."

For what felt like hours, they stood out in the rain; drops of water slid down their faces as their lips locked and their tongues danced. Lily was still unsure that this was the right decision, but could not bring herself to stop. For now, it felt right. She knew it would, as much as she hadn't wanted it to. She didn't care.
As Snape ran his fingers through her sodden hair, Lily traced lines down his back with her fingernails, stroking his cold skin through his drenched shirt, ever deepening their unforgetful kiss.

At around eleven o'clock, they finally left the school grounds, and made their way back up to the castle, fingers interlocked.
Both Lily and Snape had made peace with their feelings for eachother, and neither teenager could have felt happier than they had that night.

A/N: HUHUHUHUHUHUUUUUUUU Did you see that coming? Yeah, I guess you probably did, sorry if it was a bit predictable, but I couldn't help it. I loved writing this chapter, it was so fun, haha. From what I said at the AN up at the top about imagining Snape differently, did you try it? If you did/didn't, read it again with the opposite image of Snape, and let me know which works better.
BUT GUYS, LISTEN! I'M IN A PICKLE! I need your help with ideas for my next chapter. I have a vauge idea, but nothing monstrous. I was going to set it a couple of weeks after the events of this one... But as always, please review, and please anticipate the next chapter ^-^
