Flirting is another big sign. Teasing each other in a more suggestive way, using double - entendres, or complimenting each other's appearance in a more sexualized manner can all point to sexual tension between friends. It's important to note that normal friendly banter is different from this kind of flirting.
Avoid situations that might increase the tension. For example, if being alone in a certain place makes it worse, don't put yourselves in that situation. You can also focus on other aspects of your friendship, like common hobbies or mutual friends, to shift the focus away from the sexual tension.
By focusing on shared hobbies and interests. If they are always engaged in activities they both love, like playing a sport or painting, their minds are occupied with positive things and not sexual tension. Also, respecting personal space is crucial. Each friend should have their own time and space to do their own things without feeling pressured.
Authors often use physical proximity. For instance, when the two friends are forced to share a small space like a tent during a camping trip. Another way is through lingering glances. When their eyes meet and hold for a little too long, it creates sexual tension.
You can start by creating characters with hidden desires and unfulfilled longings. Let their attraction simmer beneath the surface and build anticipation.
One major problem is that it goes against the age - appropriate nature of the 'Harry Potter' series. Hermione is a minor for a large part of the story, and Sirius is an adult. This kind of relationship dynamic in a sexual - tension context is inappropriate.
One way sexual tension shows up in such fanfiction is through the power dynamics in the potions setting. A powerful wizard or witch might use their knowledge of potions to gain an upper hand in a relationship, creating a push - pull dynamic. In a story where Snape is a central figure, his brooding presence and his expertise in potions could lead to a charged atmosphere when he interacts with a student or another character. This can be both intimidating and alluring, adding to the sexual tension.
One example could be the relationship between Vincent Vega and Mia Wallace. Their interactions at the diner and later at Jack Rabbit Slim's are filled with a certain sexual tension. The way they look at each other, their flirtatious banter, and the overall charged atmosphere between them.
The distance creates a unique kind of sexual tension. It's like a slow - burning fire. You're constantly thinking about the other person but can't be physically together easily. So every interaction, every text, holds a bit of that sexual undertone because of the pent - up desire.
There's also 'Hermione's Hidden Feelings'. This story delves into how Hermione tries to suppress her growing sexual tension towards a particular character. It's well - written, with detailed descriptions of her internal struggle.
