char: lavender brown, char: roger davies

Who: Roger Davies and Lavender Brown
When: Wednesday afternoon
Where: Lavender’s flat, then traveling
What: They really, really, really need to talk.
Rated/Status: PG-13ish for language. Complete.

Roger stood outside Lavender’s flat and paced on the sidewalk, trying to will himself to knock. What a mess his life was. A gigantic fucking mess. The day before he’d been in Napa Valley, with the most beautiful American witch he’d ever met. The day before that, he’d been carefree as a bird on the beaches of Malibu. Today? He was standing in front of a werewolf’s flat, who was quite possibly the mother of his child. And they were about to go to Turkey to sort things out.

It was a terrible idea. He knew that. Going off alone with Lavender never led to good things. But at this point? What was one more bad decision? Recently he’d just been wading through a pool of stupid, making moronic decisions as he went. Except most of those moronic decisions hadn’t had permanent repercussions. Lavender pregnant? Pretty permanent. Roger halfway just wanted to turn around and go back to Malibu. Or New York. Or Idaho. Fuck, anywhere. He could play for one of the American leagues and just never have to deal with London again. Except he couldn’t.

He sighed and finally forced himself up the little steps to her door and knocked, holding the duffel that had accompanied him on all his travels. He hadn’t even taken the time to stop back at home to repack. Half of his clothes were dirty and he was still carrying around a Statue of Liberty statue that made one side of the bag jut out awkwardly from the point of her torch. He needed to find a laundromat and possibly an iron but that could wait until whenever they got to the hotel. He didn’t want to be in London any longer than absolutely necessary. News had a way of traveling in the city and he didn’t want to be anywhere near the reporters if they’d caught wind of this whole mess.

Lavender turned, wiping at her eyes to dry them. She gave Roger a small smile and nodded. "Thank you." They were going to be fine. It was going to take more work, but they were going to get through this. And Lavender was okay with the work it was going to take.

"I'm exhausted. And I think we're in a different time zone. I'm going to.." She pointed to the room he had put her things into. "Did you still want to sleep in separate rooms?" Of course, she wanted the answer to be no, he would go and sleep with her, but she wasn't really expecting it. Saying your sorry and that you love someone, it didn't really make all the problems go away. They still had a lot to work through.

Roger considered that for a moment, then shook his head. "For now, at least. I know you hate hearing it, but I still need some time to process all this." He held her for a moment longer, then disentangled himself.

"We're so good at fucking this up, Lav. Let's just leave things like this, for tonight. I'll see you in the morning." He really wanted to go in there with her and hold her and for them to wake up in the morning just fine. But neither of them was ready for that yet. And until he knew for sure the baby was his? He couldn't put himself in that position yet.
