You're my Kryponite [Dan, Lily]

Lily had to be the most beautiful girl in existence. He hadn't told her, of course, because he'd been struck speechless by the sight of her. For the briefest of moments he forgot that this would be one of their last nights together. All that existed was the most amazing red head before him. And for those blissful moments, everything was wonderful. They'd danced, and laughed. And it was amazing.

But then it all came crashing back down.

Adrian had thought he could handle it, taking her to the Ball, and acting as if nothing was wrong, but he couldn't. And so... after that first dance, they'd separated. By this point, Adrian found himself leaning against one of the walls, away from everyone else. Despite separating himself from Lily though, he found himself unable to ever look away. Just watching her dance with other boys, or talk to friends... She was always there, as if having cast him under some enchantment. Currently she was dancing with her father, Harry Potter. A man that Adrian had gone out of his way for years to avoid meeting. Usually the mere sight of Lily's father was enough to send Adrian in the other direction, but he was so entranced that he didn't even care anymore.

There was one person capable of breaking his trance though, and that was his cousin. As fate would have it, that was exactly who appeared, and Adrian noticed his appearance immediately. "Shouldn't you be with Irina?" He asked sharply, his gaze flickering to the corner of his eyes to glance at the other German.

Daniel had been quite the sneaky little guy the past month. As soon as he heard that Adrians mother might be moving to America, he contacted his parents and Louisa. As soon as he heart that his aunt was definitely moving, he contacted her too with his plan. It was a good one. Heaven only know why Dan was going through so much trouble with all of this. To do something incredibly decent for someone he had mostly just bickered with over the years. The truth was, he loved Adrian. He wouldn't let his heart be broken, at least not so young.

He had danced the first dance with Irina and went on a little walk with her, before remembering that he had business to attend to. He told his beautiful, amazing, stunning girlfriend that he'd be back to her soon. She knew what he was doing, and she was glad to let him take care of it on his own. He searched for Adrian, more with his abilities then with his eyes. When he felt that sinking sadness, that heartbreak, he knew to follow it. Soon, he found the fellow German leaning against the wall, alone.

He approached silently and Adrian spoke first, glancing over at him his tone sharp. "I was, but she knew I wanted to speak with you." he started.

He didn't waste any time leaning up against the wall beside his cousin, "just hear me out, okay? I've talked to Barbara," he paused, "and my parents, and Louisa," he kept his eyes firmly on Adrian, trying to stay focused and not get swallowed up in the boys emotions. "There is a room for you at my parents in Germany, Adrian. Mine. I won't be going back after school and-" he paused, "it's not big. It's not that nice," he knew that wouldn't matter to Adrian though, "my mum can't stand the idea of not seeing Aunt Barbara, so she's determined to visit America often. You with her. Your mum is on board, Ad," he said slowly, finally reaching out and placing a hand on Adrians shoulder, "you don't have to leave. Don't leave," he finished.

Adrian had glanced back at Lily as she danced with her father and for the briefest of moments, though it felt like forever, their eyes met. It was a magical, breath taking moment, and he never wanted it to end... But Lily looked away. Letting out the breath he'd been holding he turned his head to look at his cousin again, an eyebrow raised.

As Danial spoke, Adrian felt... odd. The words all seemed to blend together, and Adrian's mind seemed to stop working entirely once he realized what it all meant.

He could stay.

What... what was this feeling? Overwhelming relief? His heart and head felt light, as if a weight was suddenly lifted. "You... what?" he found himself starting to say, but the words wouldn't come out. Wouldn't even form. He looked back at Lily then, and immediately knew what it really meant.

He didn't have to leave Lily.

Swallowing hard, Adrian offered a stiff nod to his cousin. Words couldn't begin to describe what he was feeling or wanted to say. But his emotions could, and thankfully Daniel could read those.

Adrians emotions were conflicted at first, it was hard to stay focused with all those things jumbling around inside him. Once he stopped, though, Dan actually breathed a sigh of relief as Adrians emotions seemed to settle onto to something else. Something light, easy, and bright. That something, Dan guessed, was Lily.

Adrian tried to get words out, seemingly unable to and nodding instead. Dan smiled softly and tightened his grip on Adrians shoulder for a moment, taking in the silence. Daniel read everything going on inside him and, like at the beginning of the year, new that Adrian was in love with that redhead. It was different now, though. Now that Adrian knew it too. "So tell her," Dan finally said, finally removing his hand.

@adrian

[Deleted]

Adrian couldn't believe it. Daniel had... had found a way for Adrian to stay. He'd arranged everything, and here he was, presenting Adrian with a way to stay. With her. He almost couldn't even feel his cousin's hand on his shoulder, the boy so consumed with that single thought.

The silence wasn't nearly as long as it felt, and once again it was Daniel that spoke first. It hadn't been an awkward silence though. Adrian had been trying to decide what it all meant, and no doubt Daniel had been tracking his emotion progress and only spoke once he felt Adrian was ready for the next step. One Adrian knew he need to take but hadn't been able to bring himself to do until now. Until he finally knew he wasn't leaving.

Adrian slowly nodded again. "Dan.... thanks." He managed to say before pushing himself away from the wall. He knew he needed to tell her. He would. But he needed some fresh air first. He moved away from his cousin and quickly, very quickly left the Great Hall and headed out to the school grounds. Like the castle, the grounds had been decorated for the festivities, but thankfully the dancing and couples hadn't started to spill outside quite yet. It'd give him at least a few minutes to himself as he slowly walked along the path.

Lily had been dancing with her father, but as soon as she saw Adrian start to leave the hall she started moving away before saying goodbye at first, but then she stopped, her hand still in her fathers, turning back to look at him. "I love you, daddy," she said softly, moving back to him to lift onto her toes and kissing his cheek. "Wish me luck," she whispered, her eyes boring into his for a moment, trying to borrow al that strength she saw in them.

She nodded, slowly letting her hand release his and, finally she turned away, taking at a quick pace through the crowd, after Adrian Greyback...

She followed him outside, losing track of him for a moment in the entrance hall crowd. Her heart was beating a million miles a minute. Who cared if he was leaving? She'd go too. She'd visit him every summer, every break, every second. She'd write a hundred letters, and Lily wasn't much of a writer. She'd send pictures and flowers and anything she could possibly get in a box to America. This dark place, this lonely place without him wasn't worth living in. It wasn't really living at all. She had to tell him that. She had to tell him that she was willing to wait.

Lily Potter. Willing to wait for something. Now that was a miracle.

Finally, she saw him ahead, out on the grounds up ahead. She jogged to catch up with him, but slowed down as she was about ten feet away, walking instead. "Hey wait," she said, her first word sounding confident, her second word sounding weak.

Adrian hadn't even heard Lily approaching. That was shocking, usually he was so in tune with that sense that told him she was near her feel her presence before she was even close. Two words. That was all she said, and Adrian stopped. Just stopped and closed his eyes as he took a long, deep breath. He hadn't expected her to follow him out here. He'd thought he'd get a few more minutes at least to build up his courage before facing her and this moment.

Well, he better do something before he chickened out, right?

Adrian turned around sharply, closing the distance between them in long quick strides. He didn't say anything yet, knowing that if he tried to speak he wouldn't get out what he needed her to know. When he reached her, he wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around the back of her neck... and kissed her.

The two had kissed plenty. Usually rough, sporadic, and spontaneous. With little emotion. This one was very different. Softer. It almost seemed to convey what he so desperately wanted her to know. What he had been oblivious to for so long. Something he wasn't ashamed of.

He was in love with Lily Potter.

He stopped, and Lily caught her breath, wondering if she'd said something wrong. She was never this insecure, but for some reason she found herself panicking. What if he didn't accept her? She stopped too, not moving any closer. She didn't know it, but she was closing her eyes and taking her own deep breath at the same time he was. Her eyes opened as he turned to face her, walking toward her. No, more like flying. Her hands where reaching for him before he even got there. His arm took her waist and her neck and her hands both wrapped up around his shoulders, one anchoring itself in his hair.

Then they kissed.

It was nothing like their other kisses that were all spontaneous, fun and aggressive. It was like a confession, a profession. She made a soft sound again this lips, something like a laugh or a cry, she wasn't sure. She knew, in that kiss, that he was thinking the same thing that she was. That he loved her, just as much as she was in love with him.

She broke the kiss gently, moving her hands to either side of his neck, just under his ears. She looked into those eyes, those familiar eyes that suddenly seemed different... and yet even more familiar than ever. "I..." she paused.

Adrian heart felt like it had both stopped and was beating a thousand times a minute at the same time. How was that possible? Or how was it possible that he felt like he was drowning and also so light he could fly? It was an odd, confusion contradiction. But he didn't care, because she'd kissed him back. Neither of them needed to say a word, because he knew she felt the same as he did. And that was without a doubt the most amazing and terrifying feeling.

He refused to move when she pulled back, but he did permit her to break the kiss. In any thing his arm tightened around her waist, afraid she might disappear if he let go. Lily tried to speak, but only managed to get out a single word. I.

"Love you." Adrian found himself finishing her sentence and making it his own. It came out louder then he'd wanted, and hearing his own voice startled him, because he hadn't expected the words to come out so smoothly. "I love you." he repeated softer, his voice only a breath of a whisper as he gaze down into the eyes of the girl that had stolen his heart with out him even realizing it.

His arms seemed to tighten around her when she pulled back, and that was fine by her. She wasn't planning on going anywhere. Never again, if she could help it.

He finished her sentence and her eyes slightly widened, her heart beating wildly. She was sure he could feel it against him, since they were pulled together so close. Then, he spoke the words again. All three, for himself. His voice was soft, but it felt so loud in her ears.

"I love you," she repeated back, her eyes glistening. "Think I always did," she added, even softer. Everything in the world seemed brighter, the colors more vibrant, the taste of the air more sweet. It was like her senses where heightened, and Lily had thought she had pretty heightened senses already.

She kissed him again, still soft and gentle, but maybe with a hint of the typical wild Lily. Then the realization came to her and she pulled back a tiny bit, not able to move much, and finally took her eyes from his to look to the side. "I'll write you," she said, her voice quivering.

Adrian had never thought three little words could make his heart soar. But they did. Three little words had the power to change everything. Lily loved him. She loved him. He felt his insides grow warm, then hot, and there was a strange moistness in his eyes. He wouldn't try, but for the briefest of moments they'd watered, overcome by her repeating those three little but powerful words. And then he laughed as she spoke again, that she thought she always did love him. Adrian honestly didn't know. This whole love thing was so foreign and strange. He was still trying to understand what it meant to love someone, let alone how long! His laugh was cut off by her kissing him again.

When she broke that kiss she looked away and said she would write him. Oh. Immediately Adrian pulled her close once more, his hand around the back of her neck moving to wrap around her waist with his other arm. "I don't have to go." he whispered into her ear. "Dan. He.. he worked things out with his parents and my mom. I'm not leaving you."

He laughed, and she wanted to completely evaporate into that sound. She ignored the terryfing aspect of all this for now, she didn't have the heart to let it taint the moment. She briefly wondered if they'd always say that now, what they would do, what they would tell people, but she pushed those thoughts aside. Little details. Didn't matter right now.

Then, after she looked away and spoke about writing, he pulled her closer and she leaned her head onto his shoulder, biting down hard on her lip. She moved her hands from his neck in order to wrap around his shoulders in the embrace. Then his whisper came again. "I don't have to go." He went on to say that Dan worked something out. "I'm not leaving you.".

Not leaving. Not leaving her.

She released a happy sound, that was sort of a sob as well. She squeezed him tightly, and didn't realize she was crying until her shoulders started shaking with it.

(don't worry she'll speak in her next post hahaha)

[Deleted]

Well.... Adrian hadn't expected Lily to cry. He could count on one hand how many times he'd actually seen Lily cry, it was so infrequent. He was momentarily confused as hell. Why was she crying?! This was good news! He could stay! She didn't need to cry about it! Then, logic seemed to return and he realize that she wasn't crying because she was upset. She was happy. Which only managed to confuse him more, because why did people have to cry when they were happy?!

Despite his extreme confusion over the way Lily was reacting, he tightened his arms around her and just let her cry as he rested his chin on the top of her head.

She didn't cry for long, as soon her tears turned into laughter and she tightened her grip even more. After another moment of that she pulled back, her hands finding either side of his face. She kissed his neck, his jawline, his cheeks, his nose, his forehead, laughing all the while before finally planting a big, long kiss on his lips. "How?" she asked upon removing her lips from his. "What did Dan do?" she made a mental note to tackle hug Daniel Hoh later.

She wanted nothing more than to run right now, with him, into the forest. The forest was blocked off, though... but dancing could maybe satisfy her. Maybe. She was getting restless but feeling peaceful at the same time. Still she was bouncing on her toes. Love made you bipolar, apparently.

@adrian

Just like that, tears turned to laughter and Adrian was even more confused then before. But, after a few moments he started to laugh himself. This, all of this, was absolutely insane. Totally and completely insane. But he wouldn't have it any other way. When she finally pulled back from the hug, Lily proceed to... well basically try and kiss every part of his face she could find, apparently! He just laughed, pulling back himself a little. "Hey, hey, stop that!" But then she'd finally kissed him on the lips and he happily returned it, pulling back close to her again and a hand moving to entangle in her hair and pull her closer.

All too soon, and the kiss was over, Lily asking questions. "He.... I'm going to stay with his parents, over breaks. His parents, my mom. They're okay with it." He'd visit his mom as often as he could, but he could stay. Here. With her. He'd never have to leave Lily again.
