Neville closed his eyes and leaned back against the wall. He took in a deep breath and released it slowly. Any minute now, he was going to feel his lips, and he tried not to smile before the kiss came.

Nott's warm breath on him, okay, any second now, and then..."Do you wish it were him?"

Neville opened his eyes abruptly, Nott's blue eyes staring right into his. "What?" he spluttered. Of all the times, he asked this now?

When Nott didn't say anything, and he also didn't step away, Neville scowled. "This isn't about him, and I thought--we--it was a bloody dream, okay?"

"I know, I just want you to be sure. There are too many people settling for their second choice--"

"For the love of Merlin, Nott--"

Neville shook his head in disbelief and annoyance. He was annoyed at himself for telling Nott about his dream, and in disbelief at the fact that it actually bothered the bloke. Neville hadn't kissed anyone yet, and yeah sure, he spent the rest of his summer with the Weasleys after the war and had been around far too many of them that his feelings had been...confused.

But ever since they'd returned for their eighth year, Neville only had eyes on Nott. Maybe it was the fact that now that Harry and Draco were always together, Neville was spending a lot of time with Draco's friends. Zabini was with Ginny, Ron and Hermione were of course, in their own world, and Neville--he had developed this crush which hadn't been so unrequited.

Now, it was time for them to take this to the next level, and Nott was bringing up a stupid dream Neville had months ago. Granted, it'd been a few times, but still, not since he'd decided that he wanted to kiss Nott, and not--

Before Neville could finish his thought, Nott's lips were on Neville. Neville was taken by surprise for a moment, but when he got his footing, he managed to kiss him back. His arms snaked around Nott's waist and pulled him close. Nott, gasped into the kiss when Neville pressed their hips together.

Neville parted his lips so Nott could push his tongue in and they barely broke apart to breathe, as they continued to nip and bite each other's lips, Nott's hands travelled up Neville's shirt and a shiver went up Neville's spine. Nott's hands were unusually cold, but he didn't want him to stop touching Neville.

When they finally broke apart, panting for air, Nott smiled at him.

"You were saying?" Neville asked, grinning at the dazed look on Nott's face.

"I was...?"

This is so cute! Couldn't help but giggle at Theo's bad timing, though his concerns about being Neville's second choice were really sweet and a great moment of characterisation. Neville's POV was just perfect too: I loved his exasperation. Definitely looks like he got an excellent first kiss in the end, though <3
