"Amazing" Nico breathed,
I couldn't help but notice how tight Nico's grip was around my waist. I didn't want to say anything, in case Nico shy'd away again.
"Hey Nico."
"Yeah?" I hear him respond behind me,
"do you-do you...come from a muggle family?" goddammit I really wanted to slap myself right now, why can't I just say it??
"um...no," He responded, as if this were the last thing he'd want to talk about-his family, "On my father's side there's long line of Slytherins...My mother was a bone wizard...Gryffindor.."His voice broke, I wondered, who was his family, and why would just speaking of them send him to tears, I wanted to hug him, but I was scared it would not be welcome. I work up my courage,
"N-Nico,"
"yes" he sounded eager. trying-and failing to mask it,
"what are we now?" I ask, just above a whisper,
"that depends," Nico said in the same tone, "what do you want to be?" Nico asked, dead serious.
I bite on my lip trying to keep myself to shiver. "What am I gonna do with you?" I drown my nervousness in a laugh. Nico looks over at me, all sweet and innocent. "I dunno, " he said slowly, before grabbing the collar of my shirt, pushing my lips to his, I melt into it. My tight clutch on the broom loosened. We dropped out of the sky, into pile of snow.

I thought Nico would be mad at me....surprisingly he was laughing, while his teeth were chattering. I couldn't help but think how much more attractive Nico was when he smiled. I could feel my heart beat speed up. I found myself joining in Nico's laughter.
I whipped out my wand from its hiding place, 'Lumos' I whispered. But clear enough, producing a small ball of blueish flame.
"you seriously brought your wand on a date?" Nico laughed, I could feel my cheeks heat up, I began to feel a bit self-conscious. I change the subject, "so Nico...what are we?" I repeat my early question.
he pecks me on the cheek, warming me up once again,
"how does 'boyfriend's' sound" Nico said tilting his head with a criminally adorable smile.
