Draco shoved Terry into the cupboard and closed the door behind him, plunging them both into darkness. "I can't see," Terry said, apparently a fan of stating the obvious. "What did you want me in here for?"
"Why do you always have to be so serious?" Draco asked angrily, pushing Terry roughly up against the far wall. Several broomsticks and a mop jostled about, nearly smacking Draco in the face, but he didn't care. "You never smile at me," he whined, tugging blindly at Terry's clothing, fumbling for a tie or clasp in the black. "It's like you don't even like me."
"I'm afraid I like you rather too much, actually," Terry admitted, his voice very quiet. Draco couldn't see him and it was killing him; he needed to read Terry's expression, but there was nothing but dank, stuffy darkness all around them. In retrospect, perhaps the broom cupboard hadn't been Draco's best idea. There was an awkward silence, and then Terry spoke again, his hand closing over Draco's. "Did you hear what I said?"
"I'm only blind, not deaf, you idiot," Draco snapped.
"I think I ought to go back outside," Terry said, removing his fingers and making Draco feel like the idiot. "There is a party on, you know."
Draco rolled his eyes and wished Terry could see him do it; that would really show him. "Look, I think it's obvious how I feel about you," Draco said. "I want you, and I always get what I want."
"Yes, you've mentioned that," Terry replied mildly. "Perhaps we might be able to better have this conversation outdoors, where we can get away from people and actually still breathe air at the same time."
"But it's after dark," Draco said without thinking. He seemed to be doing a lot of that lately, not thinking. It was all Terry's fault for being a stupid, attractive Ravenclaw, of course. "We can't go out there after dark."
"Oh, my mistake," said Terry, and Draco suddenly felt two hands grip his robes and pull him forward. "As there is so much light in here." The kiss missed Draco's mouth, landing somewhere on the side of his face, but Terry's lips were on him and that was good enough for Draco. Until they managed to find one another and get it right, of course, eyes adjusting slightly to the darkness. That way was much better.
