WHO: Clint Warrington and Daphne Greengrass
WHAT: Dinner and talking
WHERE: Some restaurant
WHEN: Monday Evening
RATING: TBD
STATUS: In Progress

Ever since the Charity thing when Clint had given her that ring and made it public knowledge that they'd been engaged, he hadn't exactly acted like anything had changed. Well, actually, he had. She'd seen even less of him than usual which hadn't really been much to begin with. Sure he was busy with the team and it was generally a bad time of year for him because of his sister....but she felt almost forgotten. It wasn't like she expected him to drop everything every day to dote on her. But more than a hello and a head nod would be nice. Hell, even Cal had paid more attention to her than that. But she really was trying not to take it personally. Losing his sister had been hard on him and she was just going to assume that his avoidant attitude was due to that as opposed to disliking being around Daphne.

Of course, it wasn't like he'd asked for this marriage. So maybe Daphne really had changed enough that he wanted nothing to do with her. She didn't blame him, really. She was pretty aware of her multitude of short comings and Clint deserved someone better. But she was going to do what she could to be the best wife Clint could ask for. She'd been a bit surprised when he'd asked her to dinner for the evening but wasn't about to question it out loud. While it may not be shared on both sides, she really enjoyed spending time with him. And so she'd gotten dressed, glad they weren't going somewhere that required any sort of formal dress, and headed to the earlier specified restaurant.

It was a nice little Italian place and when Daphne arrived, Clint hadn't gotten there yet. He'd probably got held up having locker room sex with Flint or something. Daphne was shown to her table where she waited patiently for Clint. What if he was having second thoughts about the engagement or something? How awful would that be? Well, Daphne supposed she'd made it through worse news. But still. She really liked Clint and she had kind of thought he liked her too. She was nervous and that was stupid and she just really hoped he showed up soon. She didn't need to be seen sitting alone by Cal or any of his friends.

Daphne got the feeling that she was spewing out at least ten sentences for every one of his. She was probably saying even more than that really. And she was being more honest and open with him than she'd probably ever been with anybody so his silence was a bit unnerving. And annoying. When someone told you personal things, the least you could do was respond.

"Yes, well, you're talented at Quidditch. I'm talented at being a bitch. It's why all the guys love me, clearly," she said with a roll of her eyes as she took another sip of her wine. The server came over with their food, setting their respective dishes in front of them before asking if they needed anything else. Daphne shook her head then waited for Clint to respond.

When the server left, Daphne gave Clint a small smile. She was frustrated and annoyed but even though he really pissed her off, she was still glad for the company. Her life seemed ridiculously lonely sometimes. And while she mostly liked not having to put up with people and their shite, occasionally it was nice to have someone around. "I know I'm a pain in your arse lately, but thank you for inviting me out tonight." Of course, she still wasn't really sure what he wanted to do about her and their engagement. She was still completely lost on that front. But whatever he ended up doing, she'd find a way to deal with it, just like she usually did.

Clint wasn't sure what else to say and where to go with any of this. He felt so bloody conflicted about everything it as like he was lost in some sort of fucking dream that had nothing to do with him and now he was just- there. Existing in the restaurant with his fiancee who he couldn't fully commit to because he was basically the world's most selfish person. After Flint. Marcus clearly held that title. Course, that was why he loved his best mate.

"You're not a pain, Daphne," he said, smiling, just... fuck. She was beautiful. He loved her hair, her eyes and he enjoyed looking at those beautiful eyes. The way her nose wrinkled when she hated something. It was fucking adorable, really and he wanted to just take her home, lay her out... and then, he started thinking about devirginizing her and that was just exhausting. Fuck.

"I have no desire to actually be with anyone else," he said, somewhat flatly, trying to clarify. "I just- It's stupid and I guess I'm worried about failing you and leaving my old life or some shite." He tossed back his wine.

Daphne couldn't help but laugh when he said she wasn't a pain. What a fucking lie. She was well aware what a pain she was. His whole life had practically been turned upside down over the last few weeks because of her and things weren't going to get any easier anytime soon. But he was an amazing friend and he'd done what he could to protect her. It was nice, really, knowing that someone cared about her at least on some level.

Daphne gave a hint of a smile when Clint said he didnt have a desire to be with anyone else. But his flat tone concerned her and she wasn't really sure what to make of it. "First of all, you're not going to fail me. Lucky for you, my expectations are pretty low these days. Don't try to kill me and you're pretty much the best fiance a girl could ask for," she said honestly. She knew she needed to work on that, but for now? That's really all she could hope for. "Besides, you're pretty great when you want to be, Clint. If you don't want to fail me, then you won't."

The part about his old life was a little weird. His old life was drinking and fucking lots of people. But he'd just said that he didn't have a desire to be with other people. So maybe he just...wasn't ready to have his options taken away or something? "Seriously. I'm not asking for commitment at this very second, Clint. You can....take your time or whatever." Honestly, she hadn't expected any sort of real commitment past one on paper so the fact that he was even entertaining the thought of giving her one was just...mind blowing.

What bothered Clint the most was that she had such low expectations that anyone could live up to them. Even him. And he bloody well felt that she deserved so much more and it just bothered the fuck out of him that she expected him to go out and fuck other women when he didn't even expect that out of himself. Rubbing his temples, feeling weary and tired, he gave her a small smile. What was he supposed to do? She was pretty much giving him a free pass and he hated that part of him wanted to take it. Maybe he'd just be discreet... if he got the urge or something. Though, it was fairly hard for him to be discreet. Course, whatever woman he went out with, the papers automatically assumed he was fucking... so?

"Well," he said, taking a bite of his dinner, enjoying the taste. "I guess we'll just see what happens." He looked at her, amused. "So, you're horny ninety percent of the time, huh?" That, for some reason, amused the fuck out of him and turned him on to no end. He definitely wouldn't mind helping her out with that little problem. He was fucking so godamned horny. It'd been like... holy fuck. A month or some shit since he'd gotten laid. Christ. No wonder he was in such a foul fucking mood.

Daphne had no shame. At all "Oh my Merlin. Yes. Probably more than that. Like...if I thought it was at all appropriate, I'd be over this table and in your lap in a second," she said. Okay, so maybe the wine was getting to her a little, but that really was how she felt. It had been frustrating with Cal because shed still always been horny but there was nothing about that man that she had ever been attracted to. Hence why shed gone so overboard with Adrian when shed gotten the chance. Someone who wanted to Snog her AND he was good looking? It had been perfect, really

But short of his manwhorish ways, everything about Clint turned her on. It was...incredibly frustrating but kind of amazing at the same time. She hadn't actually ever been with anyone though. The most she had done with anyone was her Snog session with Adrian. Well, and her near rape. But that didn't count, did it? She didn't think Clint would find any enjoyment out of someone as inexperienced as her. After all, he had been with tons of girls who probably knew what they were doing. And while the thought of being shagged by Clint was an absolutely amazing one, the thought of beig shagged at all was somewhat frightening.

Clint shook his head, amused at her admission. It was so... earnest and honest and he wasn't quite sure what to think about it. She wanted to be with him. And he didn't even know why. He wasn't exactly a good person and he had the tendency to fuck up a lot. He was selfish and idiotic and flirted with girls and did all that kind of stuff that didn't bode well for any sort of relationship whatsoever. Not a bit.

Smiling and shaking his head, he leaned back, quietly eying her. It was probably a full minute before he said anything, at all. Leaning forward, Clint took a bite of his dinner and looked up at her. "Well," he said, slowly. "I suppose we'll have to work on that, now won't we." He grinned at her, winking as he took a long sip of his wine. Clint was pretty okay with the fact that she had no experience. In fact, he kind of liked that. She was untouched and she was going to be his and only his. Nobody else would ever have her. Just him. Something about that was so bloody amazing.

"So Daphne Greengrass is horny, huh?" He nodded. "I think we'll just have to do something about that."

And here she went again, spilling her fucking heart out about how she personally felt and it was met only by silence. It had really only been a minute or so, but it had felt like fucking forever. and in that time she'd felt incredibly embarrassed for what she'd said. It wasn't proper or ladylike at all and he probably thought less of her or something now. Which was ridiculous because everyone had hormones and it was completely natural to react to them. It wasn't like she was out fucking everything with a dick. She was just horny. It wasn't that big of a deal, was it?

And then he made a comment and she couldn't even remember what it was after he winked at her like that. She'd seen the types of girls that Clint took interest in and she'd never thought she'd ever be one of them. Sure, Daphne thought she was fairly attractive and had decent hair....but she was nothing compared to a lot of the slags that Clint was seen with on a weekly basis.

She nodded her head. "Daphne Greengrass is beyond horny," she said with a small nod. Though his next sentence made her weak at the knees. Or it would have if she'd been standing up or something. "i think....you should definitely do something about that. And soon, preferably. I'm kind of going crazy over here," she said honestly. Of course, if and when they actually did sleep together, she knew she was going to freak out. Especially if they weren't married yet. Would he think less of her for being so wiling to shag him without being betrothed? Ugh. This whole thing was bloody confusing.

Clint was so amused by this turn of events. It was nice to see the old Daphne pop out now and again and her blunt and blatant honesty amused him. Nodding, as though contemplating the entire situation, which, in fact, he was. Clint wondered if he ought to talk to Marcus or Ade about this. Probably Ade. Ugh. How to seduce a virgin. Bloody exhausting and mildly terrifying is what it was. He wasn't even sure if he was capable of doing anything of the like. Still, it was all rather complicated and he really had no idea about going about taking a girls virginity.

Finishing off his dinner, Clint looked up. "Well, I suppose I could help you out there," he said, winking, giving her a charming smile. Leaning back, crossing his arms over his chest Clint raised a brow, looking at Daphne with an amused smirk. "What exactly have you done?" he asked, curious as to what she'd experienced and what she knew.

What had she done? As far as what exactly? Sex? This was a weird topic for Daphne. "Um. Clearly you're aware of the whole Adrian thing?" she aske, not really wanting to bring that up perse. "That's....pretty much it," she said, slightly embarrassed. But then she had to think about it. That wasn't entirely true and she couldn't help but wince at the realization. She supposed she should really specify. "That's all I've done willingly, anyway."

The whole Cal thing...that didn't count, right? Of course, she was pretty sure she was going to be scarred for life from that since it had been her first time actually touching a guy like that. Merlin. She hoped she didnt have some weird PTSD bullshit from that when it came time to the real thing. Ugh. She probably would end up freaking out and it would be awful and embarrassing and she felt awful for Clint already. Maybe she'd just get drunk beforehand or something. That would relax her, right? Suddenly she wasn't quite as excited about this whole ordeal. In fact, thinking about what had happened with Cal was makin her feel a little sick Maybe Clint would be better off sleeping with other people and Daphne could just stay a virgin her whole life. Thu could just magic a baby into her, right?
