*They'd forgotten to close the drapes, the night before, and it's the blindingly bright sunlight pooling on the white bedlinens that wakes Nymphadora. She stirs slowly, eyes blinking, and stretches against the sheet tangled around her waist.*

*He rubs an eye.*

Either Hiss stowed away just to terrorize me on my honeymoon, or Anthony just kicked me in the gut.

[clumsy_auror]

*a soft laugh*

Oh, no, from what I understand, this is nothing... another couple of months, you'll actually be able to see him kicking.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He snickers into her hair.*

It'll be like that alien movie you told me about.

[clumsy_auror]

...Oh thanks, that makes me really excited.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

...You mean he won't burst fully-formed from your sternum to devour Ellie?

I think you gave me the wrong books.

[clumsy_auror]

*And smack goes her pillow, right in the kisser.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Hey. He's gonna need that.*

I'm so disappointed! First you say no monkeys, and now no aliens either!

*It should be noted that he can barely speak for laughing at her.*

[clumsy_auror]

*She's laughing too, but gives him another whack for good measure.*

You are so lucky you're cute.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

I know; surely you would have had me taken care of by now if that weren't the case.

[clumsy_auror]

Mmm-hmm. I know a former turtle who would've iced you for me, if I'd asked.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

No, indeed; you didn't know I'm part of the Family now? I even have a special codename and everything.

If you're lucky, we'll let you into our treehouse.

[clumsy_auror]

...So what's your codename, then?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He starts to snicker again.*

Diego.

[clumsy_auror]

*She blinks, and then it clicks.*


...Well of course you are.

Does this mean you're going to call me Kahlo, from now?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Only if you want me to, Tits.

[clumsy_auror]

*She laughs and tips his chin up, kissing him softly.*

Think you know which one I prefer.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Mmm-hmm.

*He kisses her again and lets his hand skate up her side to her breast.*

And it's so fitting.

[clumsy_auror]

*Nymphadora snickers against his mouth.*

For a variety of reasons, these days, yes.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard lets his head flop onto the pillow, hiding one eye, and gazes over at her. The morning sun makes an almost stark picture, all whitewhite sheets and pale skin and black glittering hair.

He wishes for his sketchpad.*

[clumsy_auror]

*She gazes right back, lifting a hand, after a moment, to brush against his cheek.*

So what do you reckon? Good first week of this whole 'married' thing?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He just looks at her for a moment longer, then half-smiles, his eyes soft.*

No, I'm clearly miserable. I want a divorce; couldn't you tell?

[clumsy_auror]

Hmmm. Yes. I suspected at much.

*Her smile breaks through like the sun, very nearly as bright, and she turns onto her side to face him.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*And his half-smile turns whole at the sight of her so happy, with him.*

Not a bad start to things, really.

[clumsy_auror]

Not a bad start at all.

*Scooting closer, Nymphadora slides her hand over his chest and kisses him slowly.*

Hungry?

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard slips a leg in beween hers and kisses her again, touching his tongue to hers.*

Depends.

Are you speaking metaphorically?
