*There's a good deal of rummaging going on in the closet.*

Where on earth did the other one go? Bloody hell, I just unpacked the damned things...ah, there it is.

*Nymphadora emerges from the closet, sliding the other heel on and propping herself awkwardly against the door frame as she does. Then she smooths down the front of her dress and calls across the hall to the bathroom.*

Bernard? Ready to go?

*Her hand slides slowly up his forearm, and she laughs with him.*

I, erm, was a bit, wasn't I? But, even before we were together, somehow you were...

*She leans in and kisses the curve of his jaw.*

...mine.

*A shaky breath.*

I was.

Utterly.

[clumsy_auror]

*Her free hand tangles with his, and for a moment she looks slightly distressed.*

I'm sorry I didn't know sooner. I should have -- I should have noticed. You were my best friend and I didn't see--

*She breaks off, biting her lip.*

*He shakes his head and brings her knuckles to his mouth.*

Don't.

As much as I tease you about being oblivious, I hid it like crazy, and Aziraphael and Crowley helped me, even though Crowley was simultaneously pushing me to say something. I never blamed you, and I never expected you to see. Not really.

Besides.

*A soft, teasing grin*

Suffering builds character.

[clumsy_auror]

Well.

*she sighs a bit, and gives him a small smile*

I think we've both got enough character to be going along with, for now.

*a soft kiss on his cheek*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

*A peck on her lips and a soft smile*

Ready to go, then, sweetheart?

[clumsy_auror]

Yeah.

*She returns the smile and slips her hand in his.*

Let's go knock 'em dead.

*He grins and leads the way.*
