this is for the @hprarepairnet hogwarts challenge!
it started with sarcastic conversations in the slytherin common room.
blaise hated incompetence, which meant he hardly liked to talk to anyone he ever came across.
and theo hated people, it was as simple as that. it was a relationship that worked rather well. especially in secret.
“can you believe the answer weasley gave to mcgonagall’s question today?” blaise snorted, “it was ridiculous. i’m pretty sure i lost brain cells listening to him ramble.”
“you’re telling me,” theo muttered under his breath, “i can’t believe he has gotten as far as he has.”
“well, you must know why.”
pansy’s voice interrupted them, which immediately made theo uncomfortable. he shifted on the couch to make sure he wasn’t seen touching blaise’s leg “accidentally.”
blaise flashed him a look, but theo ignored it.
blaise wouldn’t admit he was hurt.
“and why is that, pans?” blaise decided to ask.
he knew the answer, he was bored of this conversation already. especially since it was no longer only between him and theo. pansy noticed.
“because he’s the chosen one’s best friend of course, but you already knew that. onto more important things. was i, uh, interrupting something?”
pansy was smirking and darting her eyes back and forth between the two of them.
theo ignored her and turned a page of his novel, and blaise glared.
“we were just having an intellectual conversation,” he said rather smoothly, “i can only have them with him.”
pansy rolled her eyes, “i’m plenty intelligent, thank you very much.”
“yeah, inside your own head,” theo muttered.
blaise spit out his firewhiskey from laughter, and pansy glared at both of them.
“you both think you’re so funny. just go back to eye-fucking on the couch. it’s not like we don’t all know.”
theo gulped and blaise looked away, and they listened as her heels clicked away.
“blaise-” theo started, but blaise stopped him by scooting over to his side of the couch and planting his lips on his.
theo was shocked, but he didn’t pull away.
“i’m tired of hiding,” blaise whispered against his lips, “why does it matter if everyone knows?”
theo smirked, “it only matters if they know because they will be intimidated by our combined IQ, of course.”
blaise exhaled from relief, and hungrily, theo kissed him again.
they were interrupted by someone clearing their throat, and they saw pansy and draco standing in front of them.
“fuck pansy,” draco complained, “you were right.”
smirking, pansy held out her hand, “pay up, draco.”
draco rolled her eyes and handed her a large amount of galleons.
blaise perked his brow, and theo was blushing, but pansy jutted her head out and said, “did i ask you guys to stop? it was quite a show. i didn’t know theo was a lip biter.”
draco smirked at her words, but so did blaise.
before theo could continue to die from anymore embarrassment, blaise captured his lips once more.
blaise couldn’t hear anything other than pansy whispering to draco, “damn, that’s hot.”
