Thread: Mike & Hestia

Mike Corner & Hestia Jones

Thursday, June 14th | Holodecks | PG

Cuties hanging out.

⚠ NA

Mike enjoyed Hestia's company so he jumped at the chance to join her at the holodeck complex. He hadn't explored that particular activity yet, but he was more excited about seeing Hestia.

He changed out of his uniform and made sure to use a charm that made him smell good. He also chose his outfit carefully, finally settling on black trousers and a blue polo. He arrived at the holodeck and kept an eye out for Hestia.

Hestia's head found his shoulder again and she breathed in, smiling through her anxiety; knowing about the future was hard enough, but knowing that he was happy in the future and that they won the war, wasn't that worth everything? Wasn't it enough to know that they succeeded? Explaining that was impossible, and so she shook her head and exhaled before looking up at him. "Everything that we did in the past, in my time, it got you to where you are. Here, now. And that's the best feeling. Better than this ball drop. That's all."

	Mike turned his head to he could kiss the cheek not resting on his shoulder. "I get it," he admitted. "We had a rough last year at Hogwarts and then the Final Battle...it was difficult. But it paved the way for better, which, you know, makes it worth it in the end." He smiled a little. "And now, somehow, we're both here enjoying New Year's." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hestia nodded and closed her eyes, her arms wrapping around him so that she could try to get him to sway in place with her. "Suppose we could celebrate any holiday we wanted," she murmured, toying her nose against the skin of his neck. "I think, after this, we ought to do something you want. Whatever it is. I'll enjoy it if I'm with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mike enjoyed her nuzzling and ran a hand down her back as they swayed. "Hmm, even if we went somewhere with pirates?" He teased. "How about bumper cars or something? It is muggle, but so fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Like an amusement park?" she grinned. Nothing sounded nicer than being chased by pirates or using muggle machinery to make her friends laugh. She'd never been to an amusement park but knew of the muggles ones in America. Maybe, if the holodecks could do this... "Yes, I think we ought to. That would be really fun. With friends, just us, whatever. I've never been in a bumper car."

	"I went with some muggle mates," Mike explained. "Roller coasters are not so scary after facing a broom and apparition." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-09-22 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"I want muggle mates," she told him, giving him a playful squeeze. "You know, I love being in the air and Quidditch but flying makes me ill. I have to pump myself up to get on a broom. It takes about an hour just to get over it. It's shameful, Mike." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inyourcorner 2023-09-22 12:19 pm UTC (link)
	"We'll get you some," Mike promised. He looked at her curiously then. "Are you afraid of falling?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-09-22 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Petrified," she confirmed, squinting. "I got over it enough for my training at the DMLE but it's still a massive thing for me. Every time I'm on a broom I just see myself crashing to the ground." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inyourcorner 2023-09-22 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Aw, love. Look up at the sky, not the ground." He tilted her chin so she could look up at the evening sky. "Just imagine flying through the stars and forget the ground exists." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-09-24 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"It might be okay with you," she admitted, her eyes darting between the sky and the lights. Hestia felt a shiver of anxiety from the idea of flying around between the buildings and turned her attention back to Mike. "If you fly, I'll be okay. Little bits at a time, and eventually I'll fly us. We can't get hurt in a holodeck, now can we?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inyourcorner 2023-09-24 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	Mike's expression grew soft. "Exactly. But I wouldn't let you fall anyway, I promise." A loud countdown began then and Mike pointed. "The ball is dropping!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hestia planned to argue with him but he was right; the ball was dropping and people around them began counting down, the unified chorus of numbers resonating against the buildings around them. She adjusted her hat and joined in the chanting, the tip of her nose tingling as she fought excitement and anticipation. "This is the best new years I've ever had," she shouted, interrupting the numbers as the counter got closer to one.

	Mike laughed, happy to see she was having a good time. "One! Happy New Year!" He turned to hug her, before asking, "May I kiss you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-09-26 02:14 am UTC (link)
	Hestia bit her bottom lip and nodded before pressing her forehead against his, the echos of the screams ringing in her ears. "Always. Every time. Without question. Please." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mike leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers. He took his time, sweetly kissing her. "Thank you," he whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-09-27 01:22 am UTC (link)
	Hestia wrapped her hand around the back of his head so that she could sink her fingers into her hair, her eyes still closed as he pulled away. "You're brilliant," she replied, sneaking a cheeky kiss before he pulled away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am, aren't I?" He teased. "I don't know how we'll top this for our next date," he admitted. He was a little nervous about that, truthfully. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-09-27 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not the type to compare things like that," Hestia confessed, giving his cheek a nudge with her nose. "I'm just as happy here as I am back on the ship, sitting with you in a park." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He giggled at the nuzzling and stroked her cheek. "So sweatpants and a muggle film next time?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-09-28 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Hestia tried to hide her teeth behind her lips as she smiled, suddenly aware of how bashful she was and how nice the idea sounded. "We could do that tonight and I wouldn't complain. I've still no idea how to use the telly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inyourcorner 2023-09-28 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll show you!" Mike was happy to show Hestia how to do something. It made him feel useful. "Do you like funny things? Or scary things?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-10-01 02:34 am UTC (link)
	"I'm okay with either, or I think I am. I like funny when I'm alone because it boosts my spirits, but I suppose if I've someone I can cling to, scary might be nice." She gave him a little nudge and nodded toward the crowds, the bodies starting to slipping away into imaginary alleys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inyourcorner 2023-10-01 11:37 am UTC (link)
	Mike followed. "Oh, yeah?" He grinned slyly. "Scary it is. You can cling to me." It felt nice escaping the crowd. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellojones 2023-10-04 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"Well, yeah. I'd like it, but I think I could get spoiled - and we can't have that now can we?" She weaved through a few people and looked up at him, still aware of the simulation but less and less of the anxiety that she felt when they'd first walked in. "You might end up clinging to me, though. Maybe." (Reply to this) (Parent)
