Where: Their flat
When: Wednesday before work.

He left it on his pillow in the morning and got up extra early. Kevin went downstairs, walked the dog, and started to make breakfast in his pajamas and flip flops.

He hummed as he scrambled eggs and the sound of his own voice masked her footsteps on the stairs when she got up.

Lavender hadn't been sleeping well, not well at all. After crying herself to sleep in Kevin's arms for two nights, it was no wonder that she had been sleeping in late and right past when Kevin would get up to walk Roxy.

So, it was with heavy eyelids that Lavender finally awoke to the smell of breakfast making its way into the bedroom. She rolled onto her back and stared up at the ceiling, reality washing over her - she wasn't a Brown. The tests she'd had done at St. Mungo's on Tuesday had come back rather quickly - magic and all that - and it had been true: her mother had had an affair and she was the product of that. She felt sick thinking about it.

She stretched, resigning herself to having to get up and her hand hit something hard on Kevin's pillow. It was a blue box and she smiled a little as she sat up and opened the box, finding the gorgeous necklace inside. "Kevin," she breathed, pulling it out. She, of course, put it on and climbed out of bed, making her way downstairs as she pulled her robe around her body, making sure it was open enough for him to see her new necklace. "Hey," she smiled when she saw him in the kitchen.

	Kevin looked back suddenly, surprised to see her up, and smiled. "Good morning." He shifted the eggs off the burner and came back to wrap his arms around Lavender. He pressed his lips to her forehead in a good morning kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his middle, resting her head on his chest as he kissed her forehead. "'Morning," she replied, lifting her head to look up at him. "Thank you for the gift. It's beautiful." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You seem sad, I want to cheer you up." He stroked her soft, brown hair. "And the real key I gave you to the flat is kind of ugly," he added with a smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, you definitely made me smile this morning," she assured him, staying in his embrace for a few moments longer. "I know I've been down, but... I don't know how I'm supposed to get used to this. It's... life-altering, you know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know." Kevin's own life's story had been a series of events he didn't remember until later in life, and still only in flashes. He'd repressed them pretty well, and learning of the dark nature of his parents had been hard to process. "But it doesn't change who you are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She sighed, nodding a little. "I know that, rationally. But... what am I going to tell my father... that he's not my father? It would be a double blow considering his wife was having an affair behind his back that spanned most of my life," she pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't know," Kevin answered honestly. "But he raised you, he's still your father." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Logically, she knew that, because her father was the man who loved her and raised her and would die for her. The other man was a stranger to her that she shared genetic material with. Still... it was a strange thought.

Lavender kissed his cheek and stepped away, glancing over his shoulder, to see what he was cooking. "What are your plans for today?" she asked him.

	"Well... I was going to write." He shrugged. "You have to work?" Kevin put eggs and sausages onto a plate and got some buttered toast that was warming out of the toaster oven. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender shrugged. "I should go in this afternoon and do some paperwork. The registered is covered all day, but I have end-of-the-month paperwork to file," she told him, going into the refrigerator for some orange juice. She followed him to the table carrying two glasses of juice for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've gotten a lot done the past few weeks. It's been good." Kevin passed Lavender a fork and started cutting his sausage links with the edge of his. "Have you settled in all right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah? Anything complete?" she smiled, because she'd been bugging him about hearing something since before she'd moved in. Lavender dug into her eggs, nodding at his question. "Your closet loves me," she grinned cheekily, taking a sip of juice. "But, yes, it's wonderful. I sleep very well with you beside me," she said sincerely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A lot of mostly complete." Kevin reached across and took her hand. He stroked the back of her hand. "I sleep very well with you in my arms." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laced her fingers with his, smiling over at him. "Well, when you are ready to share, I would love to hear some of them," she said. Lavender couldn't imagine going through the past couple of days without him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Soon. They'll be ready soon." Kevin took a bite of his breakfast and chewed. He watched Lavender, just admiring the way she looked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender pushed her hair off her shoulder and continued with her breakfast. "Do you have plans this weekend? I was thinking about going up to see my dad and I want him to meet you... and no, I don't think I'm ready to tell him anything yet. But, you're more important then the other things going on," she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin nodded, feeling like he wanted to crawl into a hole. Her Dad? What if he hated Kevin? "Okay," his voice cracked a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender peered over at him. "What?" she smiled. "Aww, come on, he's going to love you, I promise," she assured him, polishing off her breakfast. She sat back, sipping her juice as she watched him. "My brothers on the other hand..." she trailed off (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Your brothers better not see the marks you've left on my back," Kevin said in a soft, laughing voice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She blushed a little then reached up and touched her neck. "Mmmm, easier to hide your back then my neck," she pointed out, reminding him on the lovely swollen mark that graced her neck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hmmm... ice that, yeah?" Kevin touched her neck. "And we'll have to take it easy this week." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-27 10:41 am UTC (link)
	She laughed, leaning closer to him as he touched her neck. "Aww, that's no fun," she laughed, pressing her lips to his in a soft kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin returned the kiss, keeping it chaste because they were still eating breakfast. He smiled. "I love you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-28 12:20 am UTC (link)
	She gave him one last quick kiss. "Mm, love you, too. Thanks for breakfast," she smiled as she rose and collected their dishes and headed for the kitchen. "You know, I love this domestic thing... I love living with you... it's so homey," she grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
