Madness

“Malfoy? Why are you sitting alone in the dark?”

“I’m having a party, can’t you tell?”

“Could you at least light a candle?”

“Could you stop talking?”

“Why don’t you make me?”

Draco growled, lunging. Ron gasped as Draco’s hands curled like claws in his flame-red hair. Draco kissed Ron as if he were starving and Ron’s mouth contained the only food for miles. The pair panted as the kiss ended, Ron springing away like a startled canine.

“What in bloody hell was that?”

“A bid for a moment’s peace? Who knows?”

Ron’s blue eyes were lantern-bright in the dark room as he looked at Draco, somewhere between knowing and confused.

“What are we doing?”

“Are you ever going to stop asking questions? Gods, you are an annoying prat. I like you better when you don’t say anything.”

“Would it kill you to admit that you’re lonely?”

“Yes? Malfoys aren’t allowed to admit that.”

“I know you.’

“You know nothing. As usual.”

“Keep telling yourself that. Whatever makes it easier to sleep at night.”

“I don’t sleep at night. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.”

“No wonder you look like a ghost. Something from that muggle author, what’s his name? The one you’re always reading?”

“Edgar Allan Poe?”

“Yes, him. You look like you belong in one of his books.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Ron snorted, watching Draco from the corner of his eye.

“You sound battier than that old fraud, Trelawney. Why did you kiss me?”

“It shut you up, didn’t it? You’re actually not a bad kisser. But don’t expect me to admit that in public.”

“Perish the thought. But you’re not bad, either. Care to go again?”

“Stop asking stupid questions, I beg you. Please.”

“That’s a yes, then.”

“Gods, Weasley, you really are an idiot. Thank Circe you’re a good kisser, or I’d have to question my taste in men.”

“Quit growling at me. You’re not an animal. Anymore. Though you did make a lovely ferret.”

“Weasley, do silence yourself. Quiet can be a lovely thing.”

“Care to do it for me?”

“You’re provoking me on purpose, aren’t you?”

“There’s a method to my madness.”

Amazing dialogue! I can just see them snarking at each other :D

Thank you so much! :)

Yey, MY BOYS AGAIN! They didn't completely give up on each other, yuppee!
Who better to cheer a sulking Malfoy up than one annoying (and awfully cute) Weasley?! :) They're just drawn to each other, aren't they, and all their differences aside, they seem to know a way under each other's skin.
I always enjoy your authentic witty dialogues and a distinctive style of speech they use. Draco's choice of words is always a bit more refined and Ron is just Ron, plain and simple and his direct approach must feel very liberating to one stiff Malfoy. I love the dynamics between these two, I hope they never stop "possesing" you! :)

You see what you started, woman? lol Those boys just refuse to leave my brain alone, and I swear, they are like magnets when I write them. They can't stay apart for long. I'm glad to see it made you so happy. <3 :D

See my lovely icon, mady by capitu? :) I like to start crazy obsessions!:) When I find something I love, I'm loyal to a fault and this pairing is one of those things I'm not ready to give up. I can barely think of someone other than us that still actively writes it, so I'm happily taking the blame for your "possession", especially because you're making such a good job of it!
*c'mon boys, go get her!* :D

[bleedingangel84.livejournal.com]

That icon is amazing! And I thank you for encouraging me to write them in the first place it's fun, and you always give me great plot ideas that get spun into fics somehow.Though, oddly enough, I still don't quite consider myself an "author" yet.Maybe if I can ever write a slash fic that goes above 2k words and has a decent sex scene in. lol

Then what are you waiting for, hon?! You're clearly capable, you just need to go and tackle that beast! And if you worry about not having a beta, I'll ask one of my friends, she also has a background in language (and is from an English speaking country), so I'm sure she'll do me the favour if it's not going to be overly long (and you know very well what I'm on about when I talk about long! :D).
Go on! You can do Drarry for all I care, that's what you're most comfortable with and it's most likely to happen when you're passionate about something. I'm passionate about the redheads, there's always at least one in my godawful and awkward sex scenes, LOL - and I'm certain you can do this with your blond and raven boy, blushing all the way, of course, but you can! :D

I've attempted to write sex scenes before, but they are nowhere near my area of expertise. I would cringe if anyone had to beta my disasters of sex writing, but I do appreciate the encouragement. I think my perfectionist tendencies kick my tail when it comes to things like that. I don't think I write sex well at all, so I always feel painfully awkward about the whole thing. Maybe one day It won't bug me so much, but for now it does. But then, I used to be too shy to write anything, and now I do post my little fics, so who can tell what might happen in the future?

[my_thestral]

Well, I'm not comfortable about it either and I still do it every time, because I could certainly use practice and because when you do more of it, you see that the world didn't actually stop to see you blush, but you've done something that maybe you'll look upon years from now with "OMG this is so awful... because I can do so much better now!" :)
To me, my sex scenes are the weakest part of my writing, I'm the most insecure about them and I definitely try to practise them every chance I get, getting a few right and a much larger proportion wrong - but I have to give myself a chance to improve! :)
Go on, work on it, you're doing great already!

[bleedingangel84.livejournal.com]

I'm somewhat shocked to hear that you feel uncomfortable with it, too. You write sex really well. And your stories are just so sensual. I mean that in all senses of the word. You do a wonderful job of conveying emotions and kicking readers' imagination into high gear with your fabulous descriptions. You are fabulously talented. <3

[my_thestral]

And now I'm blushing! :D Thank you so much, coming from you, it really means a lot! *big happy hugs*
But you see - I feel the same way about my writing as you do about yours - but neither of us can let the insecurities stop us from trying and posting! :)
I wish you a lot of writing courage! Make me happy with "I don't know what I wished for" scene, LOL! :D

Thank you! *hugs* I may just have to write a little something tomorrow. <3
