Happy Holiday? (Regulus)

Vixen sat in on the floor in the Slytherin Common Room hugging her knees to her chest and just looked at the Christmas tree that had been brought in to make the room festive. The lit fireplace warmed her, even though she was dressed in black pants and over sized Slytherin sweater. The holidays were fast approaching, and she really didn't want to go home. Vixen enjoyed being here with her friends and....boyfriend....even if it was a secret. With a sigh, Vixen smiled slightly as she just lost herself in the green, silver, and black decorations on the tree....

Regulus slipped his overshirt on, before pulling the cover of his bed up. He was gonna spend the holidays with his parents, and possibly see Astra. Yet, he was always thinking how Vixen would feel, if she knew Regulus was gonna be with his girlfriend. He shrugged the thoughts off, entering the common room. As he neared the door, he glanced over at whom was sitting there. Alone. Vixen... he thought, slowly approaching, and looking down. "Hey 'boo'..." Reg said, putting on a warm smile.

Snapping back to the present, Vixen looked up and smiled her coy smile at seeing none other than the one she had been thinking about standing over her. "Hey there..." she said. Vixen got up and gave a small stretch before wrapping her arms around Regulus in a gentle hug. Being as the Common Room was empty other than the two of them, she was able to show affection for the one she cared about. "Rest well?" she asked, resting her head against his chest.

Regulus smirked as Vixen came to him. It was nice to, for once, not have someone next to them, so they could do whatever they wanted. "Course, I was thinking about you..." he answered, passing a strong hand by his girl's hair. He pressed her against his chest a bit harder, but no too hard, just so she'd feel his heart beat. "Beautiful, are you gonna spend christmas at the Lestranges?" he asked out of the blue. Maybe, but just maybe, he'd be able to get her to come pass christmas with him, and just present her to Astra as a friend. The results would definitely be outrageous, but...there was always hope.

Vixen sighed, perfectly content, as she heard and felt Regulus' heart beat. A small smile touched her lips as she listened to it's steady rhythm. At his question, Vixen shrugged. "My father wants to travel over the holiday. I really don't want to. I'd much rather stay here than go.... Mother did tell me after he broke the news of that, that if I really wanted, I could pass the holiday here," she said. Really, to Vixen, anywhere was going to be better than home. She had had her fill of travel for a while, and wanted to just enjoy being in one place, where she could be in contact with her friends. "I don't think Father was too happy with that option...." Vixen added with a smirk.

Regulus narrowed his eyes slightly, as Vixen mentioned her father. Why couldn't all fathers be like Orion. He let Regulus do whatever he wanted, and even if he didn't show it, still cared for both him and Sirius. "Then, you're gonna do what your mother told you. My brother is off the house, so I have an extra spot," he grinned. Oh the things they could do when no one was watching. Andromeda could be in the house, but she wasn't in Regulus's room. "Pretty sure your father won't mind if you pass the holidays with the Blacks," he stated with a bright chuckle, holding Vixen tightly.

Vixen looked up at Regulus' cryptic offer for her to come stay with him for the holiday. "What would your family say, Reg? I don't want to impose," she said with a grin. Vixen had planned to just stay at the castle, but now her secret boyfriend was offering for her to go with him. If it was alright with both parties, she of course would.

"Do you think they'd deny something of me? I'm their only son. I'm the heir of the Black family. I rule that house now." He said impishly, with a huge grin. He picked Vixen up in his arms, princess style, not caring if anyone walked in on them, "Love, you're coming with me!" he stated, with a smirk.

A coy smile spread across Vixen's face as she was swept into Regulus' arms. "Then.... I guess I'm going home with you," she said putting her arms around his neck gently. Vixen made a mental note to send word to her parents letting them know that she was going to be spending Christmas with the Black family. Surely they wouldn't mind....

Regulus nodded with an impish smirk, kissing Vixen's arms slowly. He never imagined he'd get to be with Vixen, and still have Astra. He was lucky. Two women. Maybe, but just maybe, they could share him. Why not. He loved Astra, but Vixen was something different Reg had to try out. And now he couldn't help himself but keep 'trying' her. Setting her down softly, Regulus grinned, waving his wand as a box came into the room. It was wrapped in a blue paper, waiting for Vixen to tear it apart. "Got you your christmas present!" he said, holding the box in his hand. Inside, Vixen'd find something Regulus would enjoy seeing her WEAR*.

Regulus' kisses on her arms raised small goosebumps to raise on them as he gently kissed her. Setting her down, she took the box he offered. As she opened the blue paper and the box, a bright flush colored her cheeks before a dark grin spread across her lip. The lace was wonderful and she was sure she would enjoy wearing it for him. "Well, well, Reg. You have very good taste... Hmmmm... Might need to save this for Christmas?" she purred darkly with a wink. "Is that what you had in mind?" Vixen teased. "Thank you," she added kissing his cheek lightly.

Taking a narrow BOX from the table, she held it to Regulus. "Happy Christmas, Reg," she said quietly yet very happily.

Regulus looked delighted at the satisfaction Vixen showed when she set her eyes on his present. It was arousing to just imagine her wearing what he had given her. But they'd have the time. When they were alone...in his room. "It would be quite pleasing to see you on my room, on top of my bed with that put on ...we'd have a lot of fun on Christmas eve..." he murmured with an amused tone. As Vixen presented him with a box, Regulus lifted an eyebrow, never losing his dark smile. "Wonder what this is," he stated, curiously. Opening the box, he took the dagger out, unsheathing it, and setting the box lightly on the floor.

"Its wonderful. Happy christmas, Vixen...," he answered, before setting the dagger back on the box, and slowly pulling the girl to him. He put her in an embrace, not letting go, and sighed, "With war here, I can't even enjoy the fact that I found you..." he commented bitterly, clenching his jaw, but relaxing once he remembered whom he was holding.

Vixen grinned as Regulus told her where and when he planned for her to wear his gift. She was not about to disappoint him. As he opened her gift to him, she smiled at his pleased reaction and moved to him as he pulled her close. His embrace was comforting to her, strong and safe. Safe.... Of all things.... At his comment, she leaned back and looked into his eyes. The war meant things were uncertain. Vixen knew that. But, what did that mean for them? "What do you mean, Reg? The war being here doesn't mean you can't savor what you've found. What you're holding..." she asked putting her hand on his arm, giving it a small squeeze.

Regulus sighed as Vixen questioned him. Why did he have to be such a talented boy, like Severus. That was the reason his lord took a liking to him. Both he and Severus brew advanced potions, and both knew much more things about the dark arts than many others. "Lord Voldemort will need my assistance. He enjoys my company...I won't get to spend as much time with you as I want." he answered with a sigh, but smiling slightly as Vixen mentioned he was holding her. "I can, however, spend time with you right now." he grinned, looking down on her...

As Regulus explained his meaning, Vixen's face fell slightly. She knew that the Dark Lord tended to find his favorites and use them as he saw fit. Apparently, Regulus was one of those he had added to his collection. While it was both good and bad, since he was right their time together wasn't going to be as much as either of them liked, being in favor with the Dark Lord could prove benificial in the end. "Well, then, we best make the most of what time we do have and get to have together," she purred to him, before brushing a kiss on his cheek and whispering darkly, "Don't you agree?"

"I do agree..." he said softly, pulling Vixen close to him, "Though not now, now." he said with a smirk. "I wanna wait until I see you with what I gave you. It'll make it that much sweeter!" he caressed her face, before nuzzling Vixen.

A coy smile spread across Vixen's face as she chuckled lightly. "I mean, just being together, among other things, Reg. I don't plan on that until I have on your gift," she said darkly with a wink. She leaned into his nuzzle, brushing her body against his. "See if the anticipation kills you," she teased as she slipped each index finger into his side belt-loops.

Regulus smiled, as he glanced around the serene common room. They could still be together, without interruptions, since the others were still in class. Good thing they were from the same year, as their classes couldn't differ that much. Regulus pulled Vixen to him, and then slowly pushed her onto the sofa, and laid on top of her, smirking, "I'm immortal," he joked, with a bright smile.

As Vixen lay on the sofa and Regulus on top of her, she grinned coyly. "An immortal falling for a mortal... Tsk tsk... Don't you read the stories of old?" she asked drawing him closer to her until her lips were just a breath away from his. "Such things are forbidden," she whispered darkly.

Regulus breathed heavily, letting his lips nearly fall on hers, "I do what I wish, with who I wish. Nothing is forbidden to a Black." he said, smirking mischievously.

"An enigma to the rules you are then," she purred darkly as she connected her lips with his for a moment. Pulling away, Vixen light bit his bottom lip, pulling it with her. When she released it, she looked into his eyes. "So, what will you do with your captive mortal, oh immortal Black?" Vixen asked in breathless tones.

"That I am," he answered, as he enjoyed the wetness of her lips for a brief moment, before she pulled away. He bit his bottom lip, after Vixen had pulled it, and he somehow felt she knew that drove him crazy, "Oh, I will do a lot of things," he said, holding one of her thigh's with his hand, "But only when the time comes!" he smirked, before crushing her lips with his.

Vixen returned his smirk as he held her thigh before crushing her lips with his. So much for waiting... she mused to herself. She snaked her arms up and around his neck, allowing her fingers to run through the dark hair at the base of his neck, as she reciprocated his passionate kiss. Breaking the kiss, she reached her head forward to rest on his shoulder. Kissing his jawline she said, "And the right time...."

"...will come during christmas." Regulus smirked, as he turned back once he heard a noise. "What're you two doing..." Lucius asked, out of nowhere, Fuck, should've been more careful, Regulus thought, jumping from the sofa, as Lucius glared at them both, "What's the meaning of this?" he questioned the younger snakes.

Fuck.... Vixen thought as Regulus got up from on top of her. Sitting up, she looked at Lucius and thought quickly. What would help to cause what he saw? Think, Vixen.... "We were just exchanging gifts as it's so close to Christmas and we will be leaving for home soon. Regulus was thrilled with his gift I gave him and hugged me as a thank you. However, my foot caught in the rug as he did so, causing us to tumble onto the sofa. No harm done..." she spoke to him, her own dark eyes narrowed slightly, confidence and sincerity ringing on every word.
