Hello hello, chapter fifteen
Chapter fifteen: Castor's POV
My hands wound around her waist as the world seemed to stop. She entwined her hands among my wild hair, each curl she touched made he shiver slightly, her hands were like a deep seated venom, flowing through my body and causing me to erupt in spasms of pure pleasure. Nothing had ever felt so magical, so right, all my fears and worries fell away as her lips graced my own. The soft cherry pink of her lips suffocated my own as my breath and heart were stolen from me in one swift moment. Her tongue guided its way through the ridges and imperfections that made up my mouth. Through the crooks and caverns and little groves, each touch was electrical, making me dizzy with happiness. I'd never imagined that anything could feel so good, all the soppy romantic comedy's that I'd watched failed to truly portray the real beauty that I found when Luna's lips braced mine. My eyes were closed and I pulled her closer, my fingers making little circles on her waist. All the daunting days ahead of me, all the past days of torment, all the derelict dreams that lay broken because they'd never come true were forgotten. All the times that my heart had been broken and broken, all the times that my dreams had been crushed flickered and faded. I'd dared to trust in my parents when I was little, in the hope that they weren't really evil, only when I finally stopped struggling against the truth did I truly burn. My heart had been cracked and broken so many times by the fact that they were killers who probably didn't love me, so much so that I thought it couldn't break again, that it was done and grinded to dust by others cruel words regarding them. By the facts that lay among the pages of the paper, by the cold hard truth.
None of that mattered anymore though because I had Luna and she was kissing me and I was kissing her back. For my first kiss it was magical, the light danced against my closed eyes, I drowned out all the idle gossip and pouring of drinks in the background.
Her fingers fell from my hair, trailing down to rest on my chest, as they dug like hooks into the fabric of my t-shirt, my eyes fluttered open and I stared into her eyes, her perfect eyes.
"Now I can truly say I'm alive," I whispered, I could almost feel the glint in my eyes grow and shine. Its light flickering as a similar light formed in Luna's own eyes.
Her fingers brushed effortlessly against the pale skin of my hands as I clasped her palms harder, not wanting to let her go. Not wanting to feel empty and alone once our flesh separated and we were no longer one entity moving as one.
Her lips lifted into a smile and then a grin as she showed me her teeth, the teeth that my tongue had just brushed over. I was severely love struck and I felt my heart pump the blood around my body as I began to fall back to reality. As the colours stopped blurring and my ears opened, hearing the noises of the pub, hearing peoples little conversations, hearing the gossip and drama of strangers.
"Alright?" My head whirled round at the familiar voice of Fred Weasly. I burned red while Luna merely giggled slightly, her hand not leaving mine as we both turned round to face the twins who were grinning at us. I could almost imagine the thoughts running through Fred and George's heads.
"Well Fred we come in for a butterbeer and what do we find?" George grinned mischievously at his brother who grinned back just as wildly. I could feel the nervousness inside me building, whatever schemes Fred and George were planning I knew that it would probably not bode well for Luna and me.
"We find these two snogging like there's no tomorrow! I must say though," Fred continued on for George, his grin grew wider as his hands messed with his flaming orange hair.
"It is rather cute," George smiled slightly but it wasn't one of their 'we're going to cause trouble' smiles, it was a more 'aww that's nice' or 'I'm happy for you' look. I was thankful for that and I felt my heart stop beating quite as quick.
"That's nice of you to say," Luna beamed as I squeezed her hand, I think it was to reassure myself more than to reassure her but at least she smiled, that meant that all was well and I felt calmed by her beautiful smile.
"Being nice is our strong point Luna," Fred grinned.
"Yeah! You should know that by now," George continued, I was sure that the pair had some kind of crazy mind link sometimes, it was insane the way that they finished each other's sentences.
"Oh I know, you two are always very nice," Luna smiled.
"I like this one George," Fred smiled at his brother, his words caused me to smile.
"Me too Fred. Well then Black, you'd best treat Miss Lovegood well or you'll have to answer to one of more nastier pranks," George nodded to me and then to his brother but the smile that lurked behind their eyes made me less worried that they would actually do anything.
They got their butterbeers, drank them and then headed out and I had no doubt that they were going off to buy cause some more mayhem.
"Well that was interesting, are you excited for going back to school?" Luna grinned.
"Yeah I guess but I'll have to fight off my urges to kill Ernie each time I see him," I growled, my thoughts quickly flickering to the annoying idiot who had been stupid enough to pass up Luna. Well, it was all for the better I supposed, at least I would never hurt her.
"You know you look rather… attractive when you're angry," she smiled, her hand fell under her chin as she rested it there, she stared at me and I felt the urge to laugh seeing her with the look in her eyes that I'd worn when I thought she wasn't looking.
"I'm like a wild tiger just waiting to pounce," I winked, she let out a loud laugh and took a sip from the butterbeer that I had bought her, her lips curled and I winked again and made a noise that somewhat resembled a cat.
"Here, let me give you my present," she smiled, reaching into her pocket as her hands fumbled about for the gift. Her fingers pulled out a small box and I smiled, whatever it was didn't matter I was just having too much fun being with her, seeing her smile, watching the light form in her eyes and then explode as something new happened.
I slowly unwrapped it and smiled at what I found inside, it was a small black box and I opened it to find a silver locket that was in the shape of a butterbeer bottle, I opened it to see a small picture of me, Luna, Colin and Fabin in our third year, we were mucking around and laughing.
"Now you'll never be alone," she smiled, poking me in the chest.
It was perfect, just like her, she twirled her long blonde hair around her fingers, putting me in some sort of trance, I only managed to break away when she giggled slightly.
"Sorry," I laughed, dizzy shaking my head.
"It's fine, you were thinking about something though weren't you? I interrupted a thought," she grinned back as I reached across the table to take her hand in mine, I watched the way that she reacted, she leaned in slightly, giving me her full undivided attention as I nodded.
"Just about how stupid Ernie is," I laughed, closing the gap between us, I took her lips in mine, drifting off into heaven as everything in the world became right again and I felt my world erupt into a flash of magical wonder.
I couldn't think of anything, my mind was going haywire with happiness and unstoppable enjoyment, I almost couldn't believe it was real, that Luna was kissing me just as happily as I was kissing her. That a girl like her would really kiss a guy like me, that she appeared to like me just as much as I liked her. What had I done in a past life to deserve the one thing that I wanted more than anything to actually come true?
We broke away as my lungs finally began to stop exploding with the desire for air, my heart was begging for more of Luna's sweet taste but I couldn't comply, I needed air.
"More like how stupid was I, all I ever wanted was standing in front of me and I was too darn scared to say anything," Luna replied, her noses were nuzzling against each other, we were so close that I could smell her distinctive flowery sent. I inhaled her fumes as though they were what I needed to survive, desperately I grabbed hold of her smell. It was so beautiful and mesmerizing, I felt complete with each breath of beauty I took.
"Me too, I was just scared that you wouldn't feel the same. I was willing to live with the fantasy that there might be a slight chance that you liked me back then to face the reality that you didn't," I whispered into her ear as my hand traced along her hairline to move a stray piece of hair behind her ear.
"It's funny isn't it? The reality is now the fantasy and the fantasy is now reality because I like you and you like me and everything's okay. I don't have to just pretend anymore. I don't have to look at you and know you're not mine," she replied. Her smile became infectious as I grinned back.
"May this reality never die," I nodded as Luna nodded back.
"You look rather attractive when you're being romantic," Luna replied.
Alright thanks guys, tell me what you think. I'm open to any suggestions you might have
