*The room is dark when she quietly slips inside. She bites her lip, disappointed at having missed him before he went to sleep, and also feeling slightly guilty for having worked so late.

Carefully, she sets down her bag on the armchair and starts unlacing her boots, trying not to make any noise.*

*Nymphadora? Snickering? Of course not!*

Oh really? That's...interesting.

And I'll have you know I said nothing to her.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Didn't say you did.

*His fingers creep up her ribcage, not tickling yet.*

Guilty conscience?

[clumsy_auror]

No indeed, I shall sleep the sleep of the innocent tonight.

*Grinning, she tilts her head to kiss him.*

...And possibly give Bar a big smooch in the morning.

*He grins despite himself and kisses her back.

Then he starts tickling.*

[clumsy_auror]

*She flails, trying to wriggle away from him and snickering madly all the while.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He pins her neatly and kisses her, still laughing.*

[clumsy_auror]

*She sighs, oh so put-upon, and leans up to kiss him. She's still grinning.*

You do realize I could take you if I wanted to, right?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

You already do so, daily.

[clumsy_auror]

True, true. And yet, I feel the need...

*She hooks her leg around his knee, and suddenly Bernard is the one pinned to the bed. Smugly,*

Ah! Yes. There we go.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Good God, I love you.

*With a groan, he leans up and kisses her again.*

[clumsy_auror]

*She grins momentarily before deepening the kiss, pulling back several moments later and running her fingers through his hair.*

Liked that, did you?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh.

*His fingertips glide over her back lightly, coming the rest and circling at the small. He grins again.*

[clumsy_auror]

*She hums at the back of her throat, pleased, and smiles down at him.*

I love finding your buttons. Seeing you look at me like that.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*One hand slides up to the back of her neck and pulls her down to his mouth, his lips tickling the column of her throat.*

Like what?

[clumsy_auror]

*She sucks in a breath,one hand sliding down to grasp his hip*

Oh. Like you want me more than anything else in the world.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I do.

*Her hair brushes his cheek, and he tucks it behind her ear.*

And I love you even more.

[clumsy_auror]

*She leans her forehead against his, her smile luminous.*

I know. And I love you. A ridiculous amount.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He laughs low in his throat.*

Well, at least we're pathetic together.

[clumsy_auror]

*She nods thoughtfully*

...Yeah, I'm okay with that.

*Grinning, she stretches out alongside him once more, throwing one leg over his and winding and arm across his chest.*

Mmmm. Best pillow ever. Kisses back, and everything.

*she yawns widely*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He laughs into the dark and kisses her forehead and then her lips.*

Me too.

*He grazes his thumb over her forearm and rests his hand on hers where it lies on his shoulder, his other arm around her shoulders, hand tangling in her hair.

Long after she drifts off, he lies there, smiling into the dark.*
