The taste of Blaise's lips and the memory of Theo's lips battled for real estate in Lyra's mind all morning. She thought by now she would be used to Blaise's surprise kisses, but this time still shook her to her core as much as the first.

Blaise darting off after kissing her was expected of course.

Even though she had been the one to pull away first, there was no denying that she had wanted more. Her relationship with Theo had crossed the line from pretend to real, and she respected him too much to continue kissing his mate. But it didn't make her want either wizard any less.

Lyra met with Kaia and Astor in the quidditch stands. The game in front of her was a distant thought in her mind as her attention sprung back and forth between Theo and Blaise.

Theo was easy to love. Being around him felt like sitting next to a crackling fire, he was beautiful to look at and he warmed her body inside out. His passion burned like no other, each incandescent flame danced around Lyra's heart, daring it to be set ablaze with his. But with any fire there was chance of danger, with a single spark the fire could spread and it would no longer flicker just for Lyra. Theo was known for flittering from witch to witch, leaving a trail of charred hearts in his wake.

Blaise on the other hand was a swirling storm- unexpected, unpredictable, uncontrollable. He was calm and chaos all at once, a simple drizzle darting between gusting winds. But like a field after a drought, Lyra's soul soaked him in every time he came around. It felt as though she needed him to continue living. She didn't care about the thunder or lightning, as long as the rain still fell. But the storm doesn't come when it's called, no matter how desperately it's needed. And when it did come, it always ended, never failing to leave a chill within Lyra's bones each time.

Despite the countless uncertainty the boys filled Lyra with, she was certain about one thing- she wanted them both. It was greedy and selfish but at the same time it felt like perfect sense. Each boy was so different from the other, but their differences complimented the other so perfectly.

It seemed greedy to her, to want both Blaise and Theo all to herself, but at the same time it made perfect sense. Each boy was so different from the other but their differences complimented the other so perfectly. They were the perfect pair. Unfortunately, boyfriends didn't come in pairs. She had to decide who she wanted more.

Theo knew something was wrong with Blaise when he missed three easy interceptions and threw the quaffle directly into the Ravenclaw keeper's arms while attempting to score. Blaise Zabini was a lot of things, but unfocused was not one of them. Theo had seen Blaise come to the quidditch pitch on some of his worst days and shut everything else as if quidditch was the only thing that existed in that moment.

Something had finally taken effect on the infamously unaffectable wizards and it didn't take a seer to see what- or who- it was.

Lyra Malfoy.

Every spare chance he got Theo would glance over to the Slytherin stands to catch a glimpse of the beautiful blonde witch. Sometimes their eyes would lock and they would share a small smile, other times her attention was elsewhere. He didn't need to trace her line of sight to know it was Blaise she was looking at.

Theo wasn't a fool, he knew that her feelings for Blaise still remained, regardless of what had happened that morning. It would take more than a single orgasm to erase Blaise from Lyra's mind, and Theo had no problem attempting to see how many it would take. But first he had to end Pansy's silly game, he had to make Lyra his real girlfriend and part of that meant dealing with her overbearing, slightly psychotic big brother.
