Who: Lisa and Roger
What: Lisa is upset
Where: Roger's flat
When: After her fight with Marcus
Rated: who knows

Lisa appeared on Roger's doorstep with a pop. She wiped at her nose quickly and knocked. She had a key, but she was too frazzled and upset to use it. Besides, she didn't bring it with her. She didn't bring anything, save a coat and some tissues. She didn't want to get Roger all wet or use up all of his Kleenex.

The fight with Marcus couldn't have gone much worse. He'd packed a bag and left her flat after making rude comments about her relationship with Roger, her intentions and her weight. Her words hadn't been any nicer. She already regretted most of what she said. Still, she did have a point about something. Their friendship couldn't have been that great if it was that easy to ruin. That was the part that hurt the most.

And so, she was crying. Bawling her eyes out, actually, and needed her boyfriend to console her. She hadn't even completely read the return owl or she might not have come over. The last thing she needed was for Brighton to see her upset. It just didn't do to appear vulnerable around someone you wanted to be an authority for. She wiped her nose again and tried her best to smile as the door opened.

	"Not hard liquor. I keep wine for company." And lately he had no desire to get piss drunk and sleep with a stranger, so he wasn't too worried about it. Roger approached the couch. He crouched down, slid his arms under Brighton, and slowly lifted him. God, the kid was getting too big for this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa watched Roger for a moment before slipping into the kitchen. She grabbed the wine and two glasses. She filled the glasses and carried them back into the living room where she settled down on the sofa and waited for Roger to come back. The fire was crackling and peaceful. She closed her eyes.

	Roger came back from Brighton's room and stopped in the hall closet for a dustpan. He charmed it to start cleaning up popcorn. He didn't need rodents, thankyouverymuch. "Don't you fall asleep on me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa peeked an eye open and laughed. "I'm not. I'm just getting toasty while I wait. That way I can get you toasty when you come over here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good plan." He sat down next to her and pocketed his wand. The dust pan dumped itself into a dustbin and then plunked unceremoniously onto the carpet in the corner. He'd put it away later. "We made a great mess tonight." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa nodded. "But I bet he had a blast." Brighton was a good kid. She was very fond of him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He did, but he stuck himself with the needle a lot. Covered in band-aids." At least Roger had a box of Magpie bandages to use. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa moved closer to Roger and leaned her head on his shoulder. "He did a great job, though. It's lovely. He should come do mine," she said, laughing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I could contract him out, make a little extra money for pizza." Roger chuckled, his chest rumbling gently. "Just put a hat and transfigure his ears, claim he's a Santa Elf." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa chuckled, imagining Brighton in costume. It was too cute. "And you could dress up as Father Christmas." He'd look distinguished with a beard, even if it was white. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You callin' me fat?" he asked with a crooked smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa poked his belly. "Nope. I'm just saying you'd look real distinguished with a beard." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And old. Very old." Roger liked being clean cut. It was his James Bond look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa laughed. "Well. I like you the way you are, anyways. You're handsome." She took a sip of champagne before leaning over and kissing his cheek. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What are your plans for Christmas and Christmas Eve?" Roger asked quite suddenly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	existing 2009-12-07 05:26 am UTC (link)
	"Nothing, really. I don't do much." She always mailed her family presents. Her sister wasn't very pleased with her-- hadn't been for years. She usually avoided family gatherings with the Turpins, as they tended to be full of close-minded muggles with lots of opinions on nothing in particular. "Usually just decorate my tree with Marcus." She frowned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well... I'm due at Brighton's grandmum's on Christmas day, but my mother is going to be here on Christmas Eve to do a few presents with Brighton, if you want to come." Roger knew Brighton would want her there. After all, Roger wasn't to give anyone else his cookies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa looked over at Roger. He was inviting her to Christmas? She smiled. "Of course, I'd like to come. If it's alright." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-12-08 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"Of course it's alright. I invited you!" He ruffled her hair. "Just be prepared for Brighton wired like you've never seen him before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	existing 2009-12-08 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Lisa closed her eyes as Roger ruffled her hair. "I'll have to bring him enough presents to keep him occupied then." Lisa enjoyed doting on Brighton. She didn't have anyone else to dote on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Roger yawned. He let himself sink into the chair a bit more. "You staying the night?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lisa nodded. "My flat is empty. I'd much rather cuddle." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-12-08 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"Good. I could use a cuddle." Roger got up, wrapping his arms around her and scooping her up in his arms. "Ready for bed?" Oh he was much too tired for this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	existing 2009-12-08 03:54 am UTC (link)
	She wrapped her arms around his neck as he scooped her up. "I'm beat." Crying always made her tired. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	learnedinthelaw 2009-12-08 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Roger carried her into his room and set her down on the bed. He sat down and took off his shoes and tie. "Do you want to borrow something to sleep in?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
