Who: Braden and Zara
Where: Room of Requirement
What: Braden wants to make yesterday up to Zara
When: Monday after dinner
Rating: TBD

Braden hadn't been entirely sure what he wanted to be inside the Room of Requirement at first. Eventually, he'd decided the room probably knew what he needed more than he did, and when he entered, he found it had done quite a good job. There was a large fireplace in front of a couch, fairly similar, he realized, to the lodge they'd stayed at over the summer. Between the two was a thick plaid blanket with s'mores necessities laid atop it. Two mugs and a thermos of hot chocolate rested on the side table. It was cozy and warm. Perfect.

He hadn't been in the room long when he heard the door opening behind him. Grinning, he turned around to face the entrance.

Zara couldn't believe herself, why had she gotten so upset about a dumb love potion/spell? Because she was really falling for Braden. Could she admit that to herself? IT was getting a lot easier. Something about him, she didn't really want to think about him loving, much less even fancying another girl. She wanted to be the only girl for him. Zara wasn't used to such thoughts. She wasn't used to even thinking about that kind of stuff. Now she had to think about it, she didn't have to, but she wanted to. She wanted to be a better girlfriend for him (she was his girlfriend right?).

So after dinner she went to the Room of Requirements to find Braden looking at the door as she opened it. She smiled, a simple but nervous smile. "Hi." She said walking into the room. She paused nervous for a moment before she walked up to him and gave him a very soft kiss on his lips. Zara could feel her heart beating. It wasn't exactly like her to do something like that, she just wanted to prove something... What she wasn't totally sure she could put into words.

Okay, so he hadn't been expecting that.

That's not to say it wasn't very much appreciated, as he wrapped his arms about her slim waist and kissed her back intently. Maybe that crazy house elf knew what he was doing after all. If Zara was willing to run up and kiss him every time after being horribly frustrated with him for the past forty-eight hours or so, it might just be worth it to try again.

Pulling back from her, but keeping his arms about her, he quirked a brow at her. "Hello to you, too, love."

She was a little bit nervous, but well of course she was nervous. This wasn't exactly what she was used to. Zara wasn't even sure what she was doing. But she liked the way his arms felt around her waste, she liked being close to him. He always made her heart race, but she felt safe at the same time. If that even ever made sense. Zara wasn't completely sure.

"So." She finally said smiling softly. Why she said so was beyond her, but she had to say something? Looking up into his eyes and not saying anything was kind of weird.

Chuckling, he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. Zara had never been the most comfortable with intimacy, but he was working on that fact. It had taken him years to get her comfortable with him touching her (of course, that had been complicated seeing as he found himself getting nervous at her touch as time progressed).

"So, was your weekend nearly as exciting as mine? Any boys fall madly in love with you that I need to take care of?"

She smiled softly as she felt his lips on her forehead. With that she leaned against him, her heart was beating faster than normal, but she felt comfortable. That was all that mattered at the moment. She was happy to be standing with him, happy that things were working out okay. She needed to know that she still had him, which was silly, and sort of childish of her.

She gave a soft laugh. "It was a little bit crazy. Sebastian fell in love with me. We were sitting and talking about some plays and out of no where he started talking about how wonderful I was..." She paused. "And he kissed me. I ran away." She said looking up at him, nervous he'd be angry with her, or really even Sebastian, he never would have done that had it not been for the potion.

Now, when Braden had originally asked, he had been teasing her. The worst he had imagined was something akin to what he had been through: someone writing a sappy journal entry professing his love to her or serenading her in the corridors. But someone had kissed her? Sebastian had kissed her?

Braden visibly tensed at her confession. Would she have told him had he not asked? Had she planned on telling him at all? He frowned as he looked down at her. "Sebastian kissed you?"

"Braden?" She said softly reaching up and putting her hand on his cheek. "He wasn't really in control of his emotions, or anything." She said softly. Maybe she shouldn't have told him that. Maybe that was something she should have kept to herself? Zara wanted to tell him, she would tell her best mate, and he was her best mate... He was just a lot more too.

"Don't be upset. I didn't want him to kiss me, I'd rather you were the one that kissed me." She said trying her best not to get nervous. It was the truth though. She would much rather have him kiss her, Sebastian had freaked her out to be honest, but that didn't change the facts.

Braden knew he wasn't in control of his emotions. He had, after all, gone through the same thing. He'd done and said some things he wasn't particularly proud of, but he wasn't about to kiss a girl who didn't want him to. Some blokes needed to learn to control themselves, potion or not.

"Did he apologize to you?" he asked. His jealousy- which was certainly rearing its ugly head right about now- had to take a backseat to Zara's well-being at the moment. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Not yet, but he's probably scared at the moment. I wasn't exactly kind to him." She said looking away from him. Why did it feel like he was mad at him? She just didn't get why he thought she didn't want to tell him. Why was he asking her that?

"Braden, I just told you. I wasn't going to tell you over a journal. It isn't as if I would have told you yesterday you would have been thinking clearly enough." She said getting a mix of hurt and confused look on her face.

Braden couldn't help but grin slightly at the idea of Zara being 'not exactly kind' to Sebastian to the point that he would have been scared. He always knew Zara had a fiery side buried underneath all her quiet.

"I would have made him apologize," Braden told her. "He should have already. And he should have had the self-control not to try and force himself on you in the first place, potion or not." He had apologized to Dora, and he certainly hadn't tried to kiss her. Though he may or may not have thought about it... a great, great deal.

A soft smile crossed her lips. "Braden, I don't think you would have been thinking clearly enough to say anything or do anything to really help. Besides it is over, and it isn't that big of a deal. I'm fine." She said softly. She was still just a little bit nervous that Braden was angry with her for not telling him. But how was she supposed to tell him when he was in love with Dora? That would have been a waste of time wouldn't it have been?

"Let's not worry about it okay?" She said, she couldn't help but wish that he wouldn't keep freaking out about it. She felt bad enough about it as it was.

Braden frown melted with her smile, a hand reaching up to carefully brush the hair from her face. The thought of her kissing another bloke made him inflamed his jealousy like nothing ever had before, but it was ridiculous to dwell on it. She hadn't enjoyed it- or at least, he hoped not since he hadn't specifically asked that question- and she run away from him. She hadn't done anything wrong; they both knew that.

"Sorry," he mumbled gruffly, his arm sliding about her slim waist. "The room made us cocoa if you want some."

"It's okay." She said softly letting her arms wrap around his neck. Zara didn't want him to be upset, it was the last thing that she wanted. She wanted him to be okay and happy. Zara leaned forward and gave him a very soft kiss.

"I think some cocoa sounds lovely." She said, although really she didn't care much if they had cocoa or not. At the moment she'd rather just spend time with him. Zara didn't like the feeling that she had to prove to him she cared.

Braden could get used to this, being closet to Zara, holding her. And certainly he didn't mind the kissing aspect. It was hard to believe he'd waited so long. How much time had he wasted with her because he'd been too afraid of ruining their friendship?

Smiling down at her, he led her toward the sofa and blanket, releasing her to remove the top of the thermos and pour two full mugs. He plopped a few large marshmallows into his. "Want some? The room made mini ones, too, if you'd rather those."

"The large ones are fine." She said sitting down. Zara was content, but nervous about it all. She just wanted to be okay. Zara wanted to be okay. She wanted them to be okay. She just wanted things to be okay. Was it crazy to worry about such things?

Zara pulled her legs up and looked down at the mug in her hands. She just couldn't figure out why this was still so awkward. She just wanted things to be okay. She just wanted for things to be okay. She was just nervous.

Braden eased down next to her with his own mug, tugging the blanket over the both of them. It reminded him of their holiday at the ski resort. He remembered one particular incident more than others: curled up in front of the fire after a long day... a series of kisses. Ah, but Braden was a gentleman and quickly pushed those thoughts from his head, pressing a kiss upon her temple.

"Are you okay?"

Zara leaned against him as he sat down. She didn't know why she was still nervous, she knew that he cared about her. She knew that he was still her best friend. Just she... Zara pushed the nervous thoughts out of her head as she heard him speak. It took her a second to answer.

"Of course." She said turning to look up at him. "I just don't want any more love potions, or any other surprising news." It wasn't the fact that she was still nervous with how their relationship was, but it was the truth. She did think about it a lot, she thought about it all the time actually. The news that had caused two families to break apart. How it seemed her younger brother was a mess, how her step brother never looked happy.

He draped an arm over her shoulder, looking down at her to watch the firelight flicker across her face. Sometimes her beauty still managed to catch him offguard, and he had to wonder what on Earth she was doing with him. She was beautiful, intelligent, classic. He was... well, not so much.

"Surprising news?" His fingers idly brushed back and forth against her shoulder. "Your family, you mean?" he asked gently, knowing it was a touchy subject.

"My family, anything to do with any of them. Just anything surprising in general. I'd rather things just calm down a little." Although at the moment Zara felt extremely comfortable. She couldn't help but feel safe for that moment. She shut her eyes as she felt his fingers on her shoulder.

She turned her head looking back at him softly. She kissed him softly for a second, it made her a little bit nervous, but she wanted to do that. She wanted to kiss him, she liked kissing him. Kissing him was a good feeling.

He was about to murmur something reassuring to her, when she turned and kissed him. Merlin, he could definitely get used to this whole kissing-Zara-as-often-as-I-darn-well-please thing. She was intoxicating.

As her lips met his, Braden turned his body toward hers, his free hand lifting to cup her cheek. She tasted like chocolate, and he felt himself smiling through the kiss with the taste.

Zara wasn't exactly sure why she always seemed to be turning around slightly to kiss him while sitting on a couch. It was starting to become a normal thing for her. She just enjoyed it. It was the best way for her to show that she was comfortable with him, that she really did fancy him, that she knew perfectly well he was there... Not to mention kissing him was rather fun. She'd never been the type to want to kiss a boy this much, but ever since that first kiss at the ball, she just couldn't resist it. It was a good thing that Braden didn't seem to mind what so ever.

She made sure she got her cup down safely as she turned to face him more fully. The way she'd been didn't really feel very good on her back, moving slightly was all she needed to be in a more comfortable spot to kiss him.

Having Zara turn toward him in their kiss was very encouraging for a boy of sixteen, even one quite so well-mannered as Braden. Remembering their kiss back at the skilodge, Braden attempted to deepen it in a similar fashion, running his tongue across her lower lip, asking for her permission. He had never thought to ask Zara if he was her first kiss. It would certainly make him happy to have been. In fact, Braden would be thrilled to be her first everything, particularly in the physicallity department, but he was quick to push those thoughts from his head. He'd not insult Zara by thinking of such things while he was with her.

Opening her mouth slowly, she let her tongue tentatively come out to meet his, she didn't really understand why she loved the feeling so much. She moved slightly as she let herself forget the nerves and just let her instincts take over. This was Braden, this was the guy that she'd always felt safe around.

Zara let her hands find his sides, resting softly against him, she liked the feel of his body, not that she'd really admit that even to herself fully yet. She wasn't as soft with the kiss. If he ever did ask her, if he was her first kiss, she'd have no choice but to answer honestly. He was her first kiss, he was the first guy she let get close enough to her to even sit with, much less kiss like this.

Braden would have been pleased as punch to hear his hopes confirmed, but as he had never been one to read minds, he would have to settle with his assumption of such. Letting his tongue brush gently over hers, Braden was surprised to feel her dainty hands upon him. Even with how long they'd been friends, she had only recently started genuinely touching him, hugging him and the like.

Her touch was electric, and Braden silently wished she would let her hands explore much more than they were now, but he certainly made no move to push her to do so.

It took her time to really feel comfortable, but the more and more time she spent time with Braden like this. Zara moved her hands up some as she moved closer to him. She just sort of felt like it could be more comfortable, or well more fun. She wasn't thinking as much as she should... Had she not been working on letting her nerves take over, she wouldn't do what she was about to do.

She moved slowly as she crawled onto his lap, straddling his lap she continued to kiss him , her hands slowly moving up and down his sides.

At first, Braden thought she was trying to pull away. He was worried he'd scared her off, but when she shifted, he found that she wasn't moving further away but closer.. much closer. Before he had time to even process what had just happened to him, Zara was straddling him. He was tempted to pinch himself then; this was beginning to seem a lot more like one of his not so gentlemanly dreams than reality, but as her hands trailed teasingly up and down his sides, he began to realize just how real it was.

His hands drifted down to rest on her hips, his thumb daring to sneak under the bottom of her shirt to brush against the skin over her hip bone. It was forbidden territory, and he supposed that was what made it feel so unbelievable soft and silky. He resisted the urge to pull her closer and instead willed his lips away from hers. It was only a short break for air, however, as he opted to test the waters once more. He pressed a kiss to the crook of her neck, hesitating afterward to make sure he hadn't done anything to upset her. He imagined it had taken a lot of will for her to be bold enough to move over him like she had, and he really, really didn't want her to shy away from him now.

Her mind was racing around in circles, she couldn't for the life of her figure out what she was doing, why she was on his lap like this. Why she was okay with his hand on her skin. She never thought she'd ever let someone get that close to her. Instead she pushed all the thoughts from her head. She let her hands run on his chest, she couldn't help it, she really liked the way his shirt felt as a buffer between her hands and his skin.. Although she was rather curious about how it would feel if he were actually touching his skin. A thought the youngest Flint girl never even imagined would be crossing her mind.

Zara's hands moved back down finding the end of his shirt as her fingers stared to feel his skin, it felt warm. To her Braden always felt warm, warm and safe. He also felt comfortable to her. She didn't stop kissing him though, they were starting to become more and more of what she really wanted.

Braden watched her expression as her hands moved to his chest. He knew this was something new to her, and it was amazing to watch her take in everything for the first time. Of course, as those innocent fingers paraded downward, his breath hitched slightly. As their lips met once more, he couldn't help but let out a soft groan, his muscles tensing under her feather-light touch.

It was true that Zara wasn't the first girl Braden had ever snogged, but he certainly hadn't remembered it feeling nearly this good. She was driving him crazy with simple touches, and he had to remind himself to tread carefully with her despite the sensations. His hands slipped under the back of Zara's shirt, gliding over the smoothe skin. His fingers brushed over the back of her bra, but he made no move to remove it and simply let his hands drift back down.

The feelings in her her heart, her body. They weren't things she'd ever felt before. She'd never let herself free enough to feel anything like this. She wasn't used to the level of desire she was feeling in that moment. She was shocked at how good his hands felt on her back, his hands near her bra didn't even make her nervous. She instead let her hands drift around to his back while still under his shirt. She didn't think, her body was taking more control than she really realized. She let herself push against him, down on his lap, her chest pushing against him as she let her tongue reach out for his.

Zara Flint wasn't aware of anything outside of Braden and herself, nothing else mattered. She wasn't even aware of what she was doing could really drive him crazy at all. All she knew was that it felt good, she didn't want to hold herself back the way she always had. At least not when she was realizing how good this all felt.

Braden's heart was beating so fast he was beginning to think it might explode. Where had this side of Zara come from? She was pushing up against him, letting her hands explore him, and she wasn't even squeamish at the idea of him touching her skin-on-skin. It was like a completely different girl, and he had to wonder if the room of requirement had put something special into the hot chocolate in her mug.

Holding her close to him, he let his lips break away from hers, letting them trail down to her neck where he nipped gently, sucking lightly on her skin.

It wasn't so much that she was a different girl, she as still Zara, she would still probably be extremely nervous when all of this ended, but at the moment she was just enjoying herself, enjoying the feeling. She hadn't felt anything like this before, it was almost like a drug. Zara bent back her head as he started to kiss down her neck. She didn't know why something like that sounded so good. It felt like it was a dream. She shouldn't be acting like this, she wasn't used to acting like this. Either way, it was hard to stop when it felt so good.

Zara let a soft moan cross her lips, his name came out in a soft whisper. "Braden." It wasn't her asking him to stop, it was a soft, wanting sound that left her lips. She pushed down on his lap a little bit more, not out of anything other than what her body wanted to do.

Oh, dear sweet Merlin.

He had just heard his name fall in soft groan from Zara's lips. It was quite possibly the most wonderful sound he had ever heard in his eighteen years of life, and he was suddenly determined to hear it again.

With her encouragement, his lips continued their gentle assault on her neck, his hands finally daring to slip around to her stomach, across her ribes and finally up to cup her chest over her bra. A soft noise of pleasure escaped him at the pressure she applied to his lap, his hips twitching upward slightly. He was beginning to really like this new side to Zara.

She felt herself tense slightly as his hands went to her stomach, she relaxed a moment later though. She just hadn't been expecting it. She should have, the way this was going, but Zara didn't know how things like this normally went. What happened when you were past just the simple kisses that she'd become used to. There wasn't anyone else in the world she'd let touch her like this, and although she could feel the nervous, the pleasure of it was more important to her, the feeling he was sending through her wasn't one she new what to do with, it was strong, passionate, it made her want more.

She was stunned at how her body wanted her bra to come off of her, she was impressed with how good it felt that his hands were merely cupping her breasts. She felt a little strange as she let her hands come back around to his front, running up under his shirt to his shoulders. She loved the way his skin felt on her hands, she couldn't stop the moan that left her lips. It was very soft, and he could probably only hear it because he was so close to her. His lips on her skin didn't exactly feel real, she just wanted... well she just wanted more, and that almost scared her.

With her hands on his shoulders, Braden removed his lips from her neck, marveling for a brief moment at the small red mark he'd left at the bottom of her neck. He had left a mark on her, and he couldn't help but let his mind wander to think of how she might look at it later and remember what it had felt like with his lips against her neck.

He looked up at her, murmuring gently, "You can take it off if you want to." He wasn't going to force her to do anything, or take it off himself for fear of making her uncomfortable, but a little suggestion now and then never hurt anything.

She looked at him slightly puzzled for a moment, did she want to take his shirt off? Was she really ready for him to be shirtless? The answer was complicated, half of her was screaming to get the shirt off, the other half of her found that a very strange thing to want. He was her boyfriend though right? Why would it be bad to take his shirt off. Zara nodded as she lifted his shirt slowly to get it off of him. It was clear she was nervous, she couldn't hide that, but she wasn't overly nervous. She at least knew with him she was safe. That was probably the only reason she was even daring to take his shirt off.

Braden noted her hesitation, and was about to tell her she didn't have to if she didn't want to when he felt the fabric of his shirt lifting. He raised his arms to help her in her endeavor. It was by far the least amount of clothing Zara had ever seen him in, and he watched her closely, wondering if she liked what she saw.

"Okay?" he asked, his hands moving back to rub her back lightly. He hoped he wasn't overwhleming her, though she was certainly overwhelming him.

Zara was overwhelmed when she realized she was sitting on his lap while he was shirtless. She'd never in her life been in a situation like that. She was shocked at just how good he looked without a shirt on. She looked up at his eyes when she felt his hands on her back and heard his voice. Zara didn't know how to answer, she was okay, but she was nervous.

Instead of speaking she just captured his lips with hers as a sort of answer. Yes, things were okay, yes she was nervous, but she really was enjoying this, and she really didn't want to stop.. At least not yet.
