Loving Rose (A Scorpose fanfic)

Chapter 15 --- Group Project

[Scorpius's POV]

Ever since our talk after the DADA lesson, Rose had came back to sleep at the prefect dormitory and we talked like usual friends.

Rose is now in the bathroom taking her shower after mine, I lay on the soft bed, and the door behind me creaked open, revealing Rose with a pink towel hung on her neck.

"Why are you staring at me?" She asked with a frown.

"I can't help it, you're too beautiful." I said with a smirk.

"Stop joking around," She emphasised, her cheeks turning red as she said it. "Its still early, should we start on the Transfiguration Project? It is due, I think, next Monday? We haven't even started on it."

I would have said no, but no matter what I say, she always gets her way, so I shrugged.

She sat on the floor and took out some parchments and books. We have to do a poster about ways to transform and its disadvantages and advantages. Rose motioned me to sit down besides her, so I did.

She picked up a book to read, so I started writing the title.

While Rose read the books aloud, I copied them down to the paper. I noticed that Rose yawned quite a number of times, so I said, "Are you tired? Its quite late, you should go to sleep."

"Nah, I am all right." She forced a smile.

"Just sleep first, you can barely open your eyes." I insisted. She nodded and walked to my bed, the nearest bed. I guess she was too tired to even walk to her own bed.

I yawned, and looked at Rose. Who is now sleeping very soundly. I walked over to my bed and sat on it, hesitating, I lied down. Facing her.

Her pouty lips and freckles make her look so adorable, I can't help it but slowly lean towards her. I was a centimetre away, when she suddenly opened her mouth and whispered, "Don't you dare to kiss me when I am asleep."

"I was not about to do that, I was just, um..." For the first time, I was lost for words. I could feel myself turning a deep shade of red.

Rose laughed. Soon, I saw her eyes flutter close, her breathing steadied. Despite Rose's objection, I nudged closer to her and planted a kiss on her lips. I forced myself to resit the urge to continue and backed away. It might be an illusion, but I saw the corner of Rose's lips turn up.

I allowed myself to fall asleep.
