Who? Lavender and Kevin
When? Tuesday evening
Where? Lavender's flat
What? Kevin comes over to Lavender's place as she is sad
Rating? TBD

Lavender had arrived home from work and immediately changed out of her work clothes and into a pair of sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt. Hardly flattering, but she had not really intended to do anything that evening. Her brain scattered all over the place, she'd forgotten that she'd asked Kevin to come by. The thought never even crossed her mind. So, she peered at the door with a curious expression when she heard a knock. Walking across her flat, she opened the door and had to think about why he would be standing there. "Hi... oh, Merlin... I asked you to come over... I'm sorry... I..." she was babbling and gesturing toward her flat (dishes in the sink from the previous week, magazines scattered on the coffee table and the surrounding carpet, a few scattered shoes and such making a path to her bedroom) - Lavender was a messy person, but it had been the week from hell. "Come in?" she offered.

	Kevin rubbed her back in circles and rested his chin on top of her head. She may have been a mess, but he still thought she smelled nice. He let her cry for as long as she needed to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After what seemed like forever, but in reality was a little over five minutes, Lavender's sobs subsided and she started to breathe evenly again. She turned her head into his shoulder, breathing in his warm scent. Her arms tightened around Kevin and for a moment she considered never letting him go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Does that feel better?" He asked in quiet tones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nodded, but wouldn't let him go. "I think I might have ruined your shirt," she said softly, turning her head. She lifted her hand and wiped gently at his shirt, which of course did nothing, but she didn't stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It'll dry." The last thing Kevin was worried about was his shirt. People gave him shirts for free all the time anyway. "Here's a deal, you ruined it, I'm giving it to you. Now you've ruined your own shirt." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed a little at that. "OK..." she smiled, resting her head on his shoulder, just wanting him to hold her. Lavender lifted her hand and wiped at her wet cheek. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course, it's not your size." He shrugged. Kevin kissed the top of her head. It was like an instinct and it was done before he could mentally slap himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender lifted her head after he kissed her. "I'm sure I'll make use of it," she smiled softly. His eyes were so soft and the most perfect shade of chocolate brown. "Thank you..." she said softly. Without thinking, she leaned a little closer and pressed a soft kiss on his lips. Pulling back, she rested her hand on his shoulder. "Sorry..." she whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's okay," he said. Kevin watched her face, and her lips. This was a far cry from tearing each other's clothes off in the dark less than a month ago. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I thought about you while I was gone... is that silly?" she asked him. Lavender ran her fingers across the collar of his shirt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-05 03:09 am UTC (link)
	"I thought about you a lot, too." Kevin was being honest. She'd seemed so wild when he'd met her, not he knew there was something strong and something fragile in her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The truth was that she'd thought the same thing about him - but the thing was that she was already enjoying this other side of him. "Thank you for coming over here tonight..." she told him. "I missed you and I wanted to write to you but... I thought you would think I was silly and clingly or a stalker or something," she admitted, laughing a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-05 03:17 am UTC (link)
	"I'd just think you were sad we'd missed our date this weekend." He was glad she hadn't moved away. Kevin liked having his arms around her. She felt small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, I was," she admitted. Lavender curled up close to him as they rested back on the couch. If she had known that he would hold her like this, she would have written to him when she was falling apart during her mother's funeral. But, he was here now and didn't seem like he minded where they were. "Can we try again?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-08-05 03:24 am UTC (link)
	"Another date?" Kevin nodded. "Yeah." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-08-05 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, another date," she smiled. Lavender rested her hand on his chest, her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for staying... even though you now have to give me your shirt," she smiled up at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin had something he wanted to say. Rather, he needed to say. One of the things he'd been thinking about all weekend was something he thought was only fair to tell her before they got in too deep. "I should tell you something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender lifted her head off of his shoulder, brushing her hair back from her face. "Ummm... OK," she said, feeling a knot in her stomach. Lavender didn't do serious conversations with guys - normally they were one-night stands, or the occasional repeat night... this was different, this was special. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Everything else, about his family, that could wait. This was important because for some people it was a deal breaker. Only his band and his two best friends knew this. "During the war, when I was on the run, one of the snatchers who came after us was Fenrir Greyback. We were fighting them off so the women and children could get away first, and I didn't know who he was. I punched him in the teeth." He showed her his hand, with a white bite scar over his knuckles."

"I- uh, I'm not really a werewolf... but..."

	Lavender's heart was racing and she couldn't believe what he was telling her. Her ears were ringing and for a moment she thought her eyes were deceiving her. Reaching for his hand she traced her thumb over his knuckles, tears in her eyes all over again. "You're a Half-Moon," she breathed, her voice catching in her throat.

	Oh, shit. She was crying. Kevin felt his throat tighten up, "Yeah. Sorry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No... no..." Lavender shook her head. "It's just..." She'd never shown any man her scar - her family knew what she was, but they'd never seen it. Lavender turned away from him and grabbed the hem of her shirt, pulling it up her back to expose her shoulders. There in the soft skin at her shoulder blade was her own white scar resembling the shape of teeth marks. "I'm one, too..."

	How did he not see this when she was naked? Right, he was more distracted by other parts. Kevin ran his fingers across her scar. His eyes wandered down her smooth back and up again to the scar. "When? Which werewolf?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She closed her eyes when she felt his fingers on her skin. No one had ever touched her there - she didn't allow it. Sex was mechanical for Lavender - man on top, no way for anyone to see the scar. "Battle of Hogwarts," she told him. "Greyback where there, too. He attacked me and knocked me down. I screamed, trying to throw him off of me but... he was too strong, I was face down and I couldn't get to my wand... he started to bite me... his teeth tearing..." she voice caught in her throat again. "Hermione Granger hexed him and I got to my feet and ran..."

	"You're lucky to be alive." He kept his hand on her back, his finger tracing the scar. That explained a lot about that night for both of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
