Lover Boy

The woman tucks a lock of her long and shiny brown hair behind her left ear, laughing at something he had said. Slowly, she puts a light hand on his knee and he looks down with an awkward smile, his brows frowning with confusion.

Rose watches silently the scene from the door. Deciding it was time to put him out of his misery, she pushes the door wider and enters his office with a bright smile, making herself visible. Scorpius instantly lights up when he sees her and stands up, forgetting all about his gorgeous colleague sitting next to him, her long legs crossed at the ankles in a very lady-like and seductive manner.

"Hi," Scorpius says, pulling Rose close to kiss her lightly on the lips.

The redhead restrains herself from laughing when she sees the other woman frown with disgust and jealousy, and closes her eyes, savouring Scorpius' embrace.

"Hi," she finally replies when Scorpius lets her go. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes," he says before turning to the brown hair woman who tries very hard to smile lightly at him. "See you tomorrow, Emeralda."

He doesn't wait for her to respond and pulls Rose by the hand, exiting his office. As soon as they're out, Scorpius turns to his girlfriend with a wide smile, his grey eyes shinning with content, and bends down to meet her pink lips with his. Rose giggles as he sighs against her mouth.

"I hate it when you have to leave for work for too long," he mumbles, trailing light kisses along her jaw.

Rose smiles, rolling her beautiful eyes.

"I was away for less than two days, Scorpius."

"Too long," repeats Scorpius, groaning, back against her lips.

This time, Rose laughs and pushes him slightly away, shaking her head. Her eyes meet his and she touches his face with her hand. He kisses the inside of her palm, but keeps his eyes locked with hers.

Finally, he sighs, smiling sweetly at his beautiful girlfriend.

"Let's go home," he says, taking her hand in his.

Rose lets him pull her along the corridor of the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic until they reach the elevator. They only have wait for it few seconds before it arrives, Scorpius never letting Rose's hand go.

"She was hitting on you, you know," remarks Rose, smiling at him when they enter the elevator.

"Who?" Asks Scorpius, his brows shot in confusion.

Rose rolls her eyes but laughs at her boyfriend's obliviousness.

"Emeralda."

"I don't think she was hit– oh", he says, realisation striking him.

Rose laughs again.

"I thought men were supposed to know when a woman had an interest in them? So, either you are a brilliant actor, or you are the most adorable human being ever…"

Scorpius pulls a face.

"Adorable?" he asks. "I think I prefer you to think I'm cheating on you."

Rose's laugh echoes in the elevator and Scorpius can't help but look at her with adoration, her vivid blue eyes closing slightly as she laughs, her long hair bouncing around her face, her freckles deliciously covering her cheeks.

Merlin, he missed her. Two days were too long, no matter what she says.

"Yeah, that's what I thought," she finally says, shaking her head at him, "you are the most adorable boyfriend ever, Lover Boy".

She stands on her tiptoes and crushes her smile against his, loving with all her heart the young man she fell in love with a long time ago, when he told her she was pretty with that blue ribbon in her hair before blushing furiously and running away with her cousin, leaving her standing in shock in the middle of the common room.

Yeah. Maybe he was right. Two days without him were too long.
