Who: Cho and Michael
When: Monday Night
Where: Cho's Flat
What: Hanging out

Cho hadn't managed to do much with her day off besides shower and throw on some comfortable yoga pants and an old tee shirt. Very few people saw Cho this relaxed, but Michael was one of them. She simply didn't feel the need to impress him after everything they had been through together.

After he agreed to come by, Cho made sure her romance novels were thrown into her bedroom. That room was still a mess, but with the door shut Michael would be none the wiser. His surprise was in an envelope on her counter and Cho left the door to her flat cracked slightly. Sitting on the sofa, Cho flipped through a Quidditch magazine while she waited for Michael to arrive.

	Michael nodded, feeling the hidden jab poke him where it hurt. "Right. Well. I hope David treats you just dandy." He took a larger gulp of his ale then, obviously peeved. Why had she asked him to come over? Why hadn't she asked her boyfriend? Then it hit him. "Why aren't you taking David to this game?" He held up the tickets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Cho wanted to point out that if Michael disliked the idea of her seeing someone he shouldn't have dumped her. She managed to hold he tongue by the grace of Merlin.

"Because he'll be playing. That's how I got the tickets." Cho set her glass down and turned to face Michael. She knew this conversation could end badly, but she tried her best not to get too upset. "I wanted you to come with because I like spending time with you and we hardly ever see each other."

"So. We're going to go sit and watch your boyfriend play Quidditch, and I'm supposed to sit there and enjoy it?" Michael thought for a moment. How long could this relationship actually last? Not long, he figured. He could probably gain some points with her if he pretended to support her. It was going to be hard. Michael was very, very jealous. But...he wasn't a bad actor either. He'd figure something out.

"Fine. I'll go. And I'll be nice to this bloke. He's doing something right anyways." Like keeping her from crying. He liked the happy Cho.

Her head was started to hurt. Cho really wished Michael wasn't such a prat, but at the same time she felt a bit of smug satisfaction over how upset he was. Not that she'd admit that to him.

"I'm not going to only spend time with you when I'm single, Michael. We're friends, aren't we?" Okay, truth be told Cho wasn't entirely sure what Michael considered her, but she figured 'friend' was safe. "And what do you mean he's doing something right?"

	"I don't know," he said, shrugging. "I just mean you're...you know, happy for once." He rubbed the back of his neck, holding in a grin. This was easier than he thought. "I'm glad you found someone that doesn't make you cry all the time." He didn't mean it as a dig. He hoped she wouldn't take it as such. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She was a lot happier than she had been the last few months, but Cho didn't know if that was all due to David. Maybe it was. Then again, maybe she was simply sick of being upset.

"I don't like crying, you know." She didn't. She hated being emotional all the time. Cho knew how crazy it made her look. "But lately nothing has really upset me. I mean aside from..." Cho cut herself off quickly and took another drink of her wine.

	Michael actually did think Cho enjoyed crying. She did it enough to come off as a hobby to him. "From...what?" He narrowed his eyes at her. Was she keeping something from him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-12-04 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	"Well..." Cho wasn't sure if she should be open with Michael. They seemed to be getting along for the most part and she really didn't want to mess that up. Oh to hell with it. She never bothered to keep her opinions to herself before. Why start now? "I haven't cried since after we slept together." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cornercharm 2009-12-05 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Michael nodded and then looked at her oddly. "Wait. Me and you, slept together? Or you and Dale?" He'd forgotten his name already. Or just not bothered to get it right. Cho could decide for herself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes, you and I." There was no point in correcting Michael on David's name. Either he didn't care or didn't care to remember. Cho stood up and collected her glass. It wouldn't be smart to drink anything else and she knew that. Then again, Cho never made smart decisions when she was around Michael. Walking into the kitchen she refilled her glass and took a large sip before returning to the living room.

"Maybe you just bring it out in me."

Michael was rather pleased with himself. While she was in the kitchen, he had a little laugh at David's expense. He couldn't help feeling a bit smug. Though, if he could get her to stop being so twatty now, why couldn't he stop her from crying back when they'd dated? He shrugged to no one but himself.

"Sounds fair. I mean...look at me," he said, holding his arms out so she could get a good look. He winked at her and took another sip of his ale.

	Rolling her eyes lightly, Cho sat down next to him. "I've seen you before," she pointed out. "All of you. So I really don't need to look again, do I?" Cho smirked over at Michael. Not that there was anything wrong with how he looked, but she wasn't going to sit there and look him over. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Michael wiggled his eyebrows over the ale bottle. "I s'pose not. I'm sure that image is burned in your mind." He grinned and draped an arm on the back of the sofa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-12-07 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	Cho laughed in spite of herself. Michael was a charmer and he could always make her laugh when he wasn't going out of his way to be rude to her. "No one has a higher opinion of yourself than you do, that's for certain." Without really thinking about it, Cho settled herself closer to him. It felt natural to lean against him like that.

	Michael didn't even think anything of it. He just sipped his ale. "Of course I do." He had reason to. "You should have a higher opinion of yourself as well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-12-08 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Cho looked up at him and frowned. "My opinion of myself is high enough, thank you." Granted it would've been higher if she hadn't failed miserably at becoming a healer, but still. She liked herself just fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Suit yourself." He shrugged. "So I take it I have to go home tonight, since you're seeing Denny?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-12-09 05:36 am UTC (link)
	Raising her eyebrows at Michael, Cho wondered if he was joking or not. "Yes, you have to go home. Why? Did you want to stay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cornercharm 2009-12-09 05:41 am UTC (link)
	Michael shrugged again. "I'unno. I could use a cuddle." He wasn't in the mood to shag. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cholicous 2009-12-09 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Smiling up at Michael, Cho leaned against him a bit more. There was nothing wrong with that, was there? "Mmm, okay. But you have to behave." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cornercharm 2009-12-09 06:00 am UTC (link)
	He rolled his eyes. "I was planning on it," he said, standing from the sofa and holding out a hand to her. "I don't want to sleep on the couch though. Let's go to your bed, yeah?" He needed a proper sleep. He had work in the morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Taking his hand, Cho had to wonder why Michael couldn't be this nice when she was available? She liked Michael when he was like this. Lacing their fingers together, Cho let Michael lead them back to her bedroom. Thank Rowena the room was mostly clean. It would have been awful if her dirty clothes were all over the place.

She walked around to one side of the bed and climbed in between the sheets. She had to admit she was a bit excited and axious to sleep next to Michael. She looked up at him with a soft smile and waited for him to join her.

Michael had to wonder why Cho couldn't be this happy when she was available. He liked the non-crying, less-emotional version of Cho. She was more fun to be around.

When they reached her bedroom, he watched her settle in before pulling off his sweatshirt. He didn't like to sleep with a shirt on. It usually got too hot. And it was bound to be warm when he was cuddling with someone.

He climbed in next, settling in until he was comfortable and wrapping an arm around Cho's middle. He had a smug look on his face as he nuzzled against her neck. David wasn't laying in bed with her. He was.

Cho knew she really shouldn't be doing this. She was seeing someone and having a man sleep in her bed was wrong no matter how she looked at it. But she couldn't be bothered to say no or pull away from Michael. Especially when he nuzzled her neck so perfectly.

Being small had its advantages and one of them was how easy it was to curl up against Michael. She hadn't forgotten how much she enjoying sharing a bed with him. Her lips were so close to his chest and Cho was tempted to kiss him, but that was a line she couldn't bring herself to cross.
