I've got something to say
Date: October 13th 2025
Characters: Brigid and Riley
Location: Riley and Ryan's place
Private/Public: Private
Rating/Warnings: who knows?
Summary: Riley invited Brigid over for dinner. Except she doesn't know it's a romantic one.

Riley shifted on his feet nervously and looked around, hoping he had not forgotten anything. Checking out one last time the chicken lasagna in the oven and then walked back to the table to make sure he had not forgotten to put the cloth on the table so it wouldn't burn as he put the dish on it and he quickly realized that something was missing. Candles!

Getting a couple of candles and settling them on the table, Riley lit them after looking at the clock. It was almost time for Brigid to arrive. Smoothing the front of his shirt nervously, he decided he preferred to have a jumper on.

Riley's eyes lit up with interest at Brigid's idea. "What about the Sleeping Beauty? Oh, a cloudy dress! I mean, something that would look like she's wearing a cloud?" He didn't know if that made sense, or if it was even possible.

"Before you think I ever had interest in Fairy Tales, I should tell you that my Gran on Mum's side was always very big on reading to us. She said it made smarter kids. Except she had always wanted granddaughters and knew very little about boys." he cleared his throat and finished his wine. "The 21st century has been.. good for Little Red Riding Hood though. She was rarely a little girl anymore. Might be a good thing to go back to the little girl?" He had always liked that story, which had taught him not to speak to strangers, and had been horrified to discover a few years before of all the 'new' incarnations of the fairy tale. A very sexy young woman being chased by a wolf suddenly took an interesting meaning.

"Exactly!!" she replied as her head began to plan out an one shoulder bubble dress with lots of puff with hints of blue and grey in the whiteness. "What about a riding jacket for Little Red Riding Hood? Instead of a dress, it could be a pair of horseback riding pants with shiny boots and a smart red riding jacket with a hood on it."

With her mind wrapping around the whole fairy tale idea, she only heard half of what Riley said. Something about his grandmother and reading. Feeling guilty about it, she apologize quickly while setting her fork down on the plate.

"I am so sorry, Riley, but I need..." Brigid's voice trailed off as she stood and head for her bag, internally grateful to herself for thinking to pack her sketchbook and charcoals. "I'm afraid I'll forget something if I don't get it down now. I'm sorry."

Abandoning the rest of her food, she began sketching four blank female forms lightly on the page before adding fluid lines of the clothing ideas. Next to each figure she wrote the name and a few words to go with it. At that moment she just wanted to get something on paper and as her hand flew across the page, Brigid forgot she was on a date.

Riley had reservations about Brigid's idea of Red Riding Hood but it was her assignment, not his. As Brigid sketched, he sat back and looked at her with interest a small smile on his lips.

He perfectly understood what it was like to just have to write something down. With a wave of his wand, he made a few music sheets fly his way to him in the kitchen and he scribbled a few notes, his whole body picking up on the mood.

Brigid was so beautiful when she allowed her passion run rampant like that, he forgot they were on a date too. It was like his pen was writing by itself.

His cheeks darkened and he licked his lips with delight as it looked at the partition forming on his sheet. Sure it was for violin and he wasn't too sure he'd be able to play it, even if he was getting better at it, but he'd practice until he could play it himself, he thought. There was no way he'd allow someone else to play this but himself.

As she sketched out the dress for Cinderella, Brigid also wrote down the names Goldilocks and Belle since she needed six designs for the class. Once she finished with her Red Riding Hood, she added two more figures. Of course once she started sketching, she had three or four more ideas for each Fairy Tale character. Thus far, the design class had been her favorite that semester and hopefully, she'll have room to take another in the spring.

Flipping to another page, she began the process again with six blank feminine forms. Unlike the first batch, this batch became the back view of the first design, which went much quicker since she could flip the page forward as a reference. She just let her hand go and her mind wander on the task at hand.

After almost an hour, Brigid stopped drawing to flex her hand which had begun to cramp as she held the charcoal. Looking up, she blushed and smiled at Riley as he sat next to her, working on his own work. "Sorry that took so long; I get caught up sometimes."

Riley looked up as Brigid talked to him and he blushed, realizing he had been composing the whole time. He took her hand and kissed it, then shook his head. "Don't be sorry. Composing is highly entertaining and I lose track of time myself." he said, basically explaining how much he understood her.

"You can't control inspiration and neither can I. It might be my turn one night to start scribbling down on a napkin in a fancy restaurant. Who knows?" Riley brought her hand to his lips and kissed it again. He loved how Brigid seemed to light up as soon as she talked about fashion.

At this moment, something happened and his heart started beating faster as if he was nervous. His cheeks flamed up and it felt like the room's temperature was rising rapidly.

Brigid smiled as he took her hand. "You've been composing? Something for your cello?" she asked. With her free hand, she closed the sketchbook on her lap. She completed agreed with his observation about not controlling inspiration.

"Speaking of inspiration, I'm getting charcoal all over your hand," she chuckled. Opening her palm, she revealed dark grey almost black stains on her fingertips which rubbed off into his hand. "What do you say to washing up before cleaning up dinner? Maybe have another glass of wine?"

"Well, maybe I could coax her into letting me play that, but I'm thinking more about a violin for this." Riley explained quickly, mesmerized by her eyes.

His gaze did not leave hers, even as he shook his head. "I don't care about that.." he said even as he looked down at her hand and his, both smeared with charcoal. He waved his wand and cast a preservation charm on the lasagna and the salad, then sent the plate to the sink for some washing up. "Wine has my vote."

"Coax her? The cello is a she?" she asked, her eyebrow raising at the same time as the corners of her lips. "I'd love to hear her sometime." It suddenly occurred to her that she'd love to sketch him while he played; any instrument. "Do you think I could sketch you?"

Chuckling as he agreed to another glass of wine, she pulled her own wand from her bag which was at her feet. With a quick flick of her wrist and the charcoal smears were gone. "Wine it is." Brigid gave the hand that held hers a squeeze as she uncurled her legs in order to stand. Before she went to get them each another glass, she stopped and leaned down to kiss his lips softly.

"Have I thanked you for dinner yet?"

The melody was so lively and bright that he doubted he could get his cello to sound like it would on a violin (which was what he originally had in mind) but he would try. "You could try, though I doubt I'll make a good subject." he had never been very photogenic even as a child. As she kissed him, his arms wrapped around her and he pulled her gently so she would sit on his knees.

With his free hand, the other still holding his wand, Riley tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and he smiled. "I think you have a few times." Whether she had said it verbally or otherwise, he knew she had liked the idea of a nice dinner home rather than going out.

"Have I told you how beautiful you are tonight?" he asked accidentally dropping his wand on the floor.

"You'll have to let me know what coaxing her out would entail," she teased.

Feeling his arms wrap around her middle, Brigid let him pull her down into his lap. A giggle escaped her lips as she sat back down, since she just got up. "Just checking," she said before grinning at his words. "Once or twice."

She heard his wand clatter on the floor, but Brigid didn't care. She leaned closed to him and kissed him. With another flick of her wrist, she dropped her wand onto the other end of the couch. Now that she had a free hand, she wrapped it around his neck.

	Leaning in, Riley kissed her cheek, then her neck and settled there, nuzzling her the crook of it. "You smell so good." he murmured against her skin. "And you are beautiful." he added, tightening his embrace a bit more though he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. "I am repeating myself, I am sorry." Riley whispered. "This feels really, really good." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shivered as he nuzzled the crook of her neck. It wasn't a spot she normally found particularly exciting, but Brigid found that she liked it when Riley did it. As he tightened his grip, her fingers slipped into his hair.

"It does," she agreed. Leaning forward, she pressed her lips to his before kissing her way to his jawline and then upward. Her tongue flicked at the spot right behind his ear before sucking lightly.

Her fingers were in his hair again and he couldn't help but think that she was starting to know him very well. He could feel her shiver under his touch, which added to the excitement.

"Oh Merlin.." he whispered, his hands now gripping on her hip as he pressed her against him. Riley instinctively let his head tilt so she could have better access to his neck. "Brigid.." he said, followed by a moan that sounded like it came from very deep in his throat.

There was something well satisfying in knowing that the deep moan from him because of something she was doing. Brigid smiled as continued to suck and nibble on Riley's neck. The fingers in his hair massaged his scalp as she captured on his earlobe with her lips; pulling gently.

She pulled away just enough to kiss him on the lips while at the same time releasing his hand so she could wrap her other arm around his neck. In the process of getting closer to him, Brigid wished she wasn't sitting on his lap, but rather straddling it.

It felt like Brigid was everywhere all at once. Kissing his neck, sucking on his earlobe, playing with his hair, sitting on his lap and it was driving him crazy. He moaned again, realizing how freaking pleasurable it was for him to have his earlobe sucked on, but then his lips were captured by hers into a deep kiss.

Not even caring about air, Riley kissed her back with passion, growling a moan. He honestly didn't want to stop and wouldn't talk about stopping unless she mentioned it, he thought. No regrets.

Having him kiss her back with the same amount of passion made Brigid want to be closer to him. However, in her current position getting closer required her hip to dig into his side and possibly crushing a sensitive area for Riley. As she let her tongue explore the inside of his mouth while her fingers stroked and caressed the skin on his neck and in his hair, she came to a decision.

Abruptly, she pulled away from the kiss; her arms untangled and she slid off his lap. Brigid was breathing a little heavy as she replanted her feet on either side of his legs. Leaning forward, her knees slid into the spaces on either side of hips as she pressed herself to him and kissed him again. The new position gave her a better angle while at the same time forced her dress to ride up her legs, stopping just below bum.

However, she didn't care. She just wanted to feel good.

Riley whimpered softly at the loss of contact, afraid he might have offended her in some way. Looking up at the angel standing before him, he couldn't help but lick his lips and bit his lower one as she repositioned herself, now straddling his lap.

His breath caught in his throat when he felt her so fricken close to him like that. Without even thinking, his hands were on his thighs, caressing their way up as he leaned up slightly and captured her lips to keep the kiss going the way it was before.

"Brigid.." he moaned as they pulled back slightly for air. Breathing correctly had become necessary, mostly because he was starting to feel lightheaded. As soon as he name had escaped his lips, they were kissing her neck and jaw, wherever he could find warm skin.

He wanted to make her make those sounds he had heard her do whenever they would make out.

She felt his hands on her thighs, which felt warm and send a tingle up her back. Shivering in pleasure, Brigid continued to kiss him until she had to come up for air. Of course, the moment she did, he said her name and began kissing her neck.

Her head fell back, exposing her the column of her neck while at the same time thrusting her breast forward. "Riley," she whispered. Her hips moved of their own accord and her hands ran through his hair.

Oh dear..

A long moan escaped Riley's lips at the combination of Brigid's scent, her moves, her body heat and definitely her hands in his hair. His own hands instinctively slipped towards her bum and brought her closer just as she moved her hips. Feeling her breasts against his chest actually made him want to feel them closer still.

Breathing heavily against the skin of her neck, Riley moaned again before pulling back and looking up at Brigid, his pupils so dilated that only a thin ring of blue were surrounding them. "I like how you say my name.." he whispered before biting his lower lip.

Feeling his hands on her bum was different; most blokes didn't grab her arse. Since he was also kissing her neck, Brigid didn't know what to make of the sensation.

Her hands smoothed back the hair from his face. "Riley," she whispered before leaning forward and kissing his left cheek. "Riley." Then the right cheek. "Riley." Brigid finally leaned forward and kissed him on the lips.

For a moment Riley wondered if he was dreaming. This all seemed to be too good to be true and then she said his name, again and again. Riley felt like he was going to burst in flames when she kissed him again and he deepened the kiss right away.

It only crossed his mind a while later, as he pulled back for air, that they were still in the kitchen. "Brigid?" he asked softly. Riley didn't want to break the 'magic' moment so he nibbled on her jawline and nuzzled her neck, panting heavily. "I think.."

It took him a few breaths to be able to collect his thoughts enough to finish his sentence. "This is a common living space.. and even if Ryan isn't here right now, the chances are that he'll come back home at some point." It pained him to even mention his twin, but it had to be done.

"Not trying to rush you.." he murmured, then mumbled "Not trying to stop either." His hands spread across her back, keeping her close. "But maybe we should take this somewhere more private." It was getting late after all and his need for privacy had more to do with Riley not wanting Ryan to walk in on them while making out, rather than him actually implying they should have sex in bed and not on the chair.

As he deepened the kiss, she pressed herself closer to him. The hormones rushed to her head and through her body, clouding her head. At first, she barely heard his words; she only felt Riley nibbling on her jawline. Hearing Ryan's name helped Brigid clear her head long enough to understand what he was saying.

"No, you're right," she said. "Somewhere private would be a good idea."

Slowly and somewhat disappointingly, she removed her arms from his neck and slid off his lap. She took a deep breath and thought that perhaps a another glass of wine would help slow down her rapidly beating heart. Still, she had no problem with skipping the drink either.

Riley felt lightheaded and almost asked her to forget what he had said and to please, please, not leave his lap but he knew that moving and getting behind closed door was actually the best option. Standing, he wrapped his arms around her middle, smiling.

"You are absolutely amazing." he whispered, grinning as his cheeks flushed lightly. He brought his hand to her face and brushed her hair away from her face as his gaze locked with Brigid's. His heart swelled with affection simply by looking at her. "Did you know that?" Riley asked with a smile before leaning down and kissing her lips briefly.

She grinned widely as he wrapped his arms around her. His words brought a flush to her face since Brigid was unsure if she was worthy of such praise. "You are pretty brilliant yourself," she answered before kissing him back.

Keeping the kiss brief, Brigid pulled away and smiled at him. "If you keep kissing me, we'll never make it behind closed doors." She slipped from his arms and took his hand. Hand in hand, she led him to his own bedroom.

Riley gave a chuckle and followed Brigid in his bedroom, remembering something just as he closed the door. "Gee, I forgot.." he opened the door and bolted out, grabbing his wand on the floor by the table and hers on the couch.

He went back to the door, closed the door and locked it tight before setting a real strong silencing charm. Turning to Brigid, he shrugged lightly. "Better safe than sorry, right?" he asked playfully before taking his jumper off, leaving him in his shirt and tie. Damn it was hot in the room.
