Dinner and dancing around awkward subjects
WHO: Bill and Fleur Weasley
WHERE: Fleur's office, then potentially Shell Cottage
WHEN: Wednesday evening, 7:30pm
WHAT: A dinner on the go, and some talk of relationship and futures
RATING: Likely a PG-13 for potential language and possible snogging
COMPLETION: Finished

A chicken tikka masala, a saag panier, a lamb vindaloo, and a hearty portion of naan were safely packaged in foam boxes and tucked under Bill Weasley's arm along with a bottle of wine as he stepped into the floo, emerging at the offices for the Winbourne Wasps Quidditch Team.  The Indian takeaway was a necessary evil so long as Bill was in charge of dinner. Despite growing up as the eldest of seven, his mother ruled the kitchen and Bill never properly learned cooking spells. He could change a nappy, mop a floor, and de-gnome a garden with his eyes closed, but when it came to a simple boiling spell, he could barely get the water to turn tepid.

Oh well. Curry was one of his favorites, so he never complained when it was his turn to pick food. With a nod at the security desk wizard, Bill ducked down a side hall and arrived at the office marked "TEAM MEDICAL STAFF". Pushing the door open with his hip, he strode through the exam room and to the office at the rear marked "FLEUR WEASLEY- STAFF MEDIWITCH". He tapped on the door with his elbow.

"Delivery for Misses Fleur Weasley. One redheaded husband, a bottle of wine, and an order of curry!" he called through the door.

Bill's defense helped Fleur somewhat, but she couldn't keep from thinking it was a lie, something to make her feel not so horrible.

When he came to the kitchen, she couldn't look at him. His gentle voice, the care he felt, and the pain she felt all mixed in her mind and tightened the vice around her heart. She wasn't happy. She wanted the adventurer, the one who was only holding down a desk job so that he could be near his family to help with the war. She wanted to be swept off her feet.

All she could do was nod as he spoke, clutching the sink and keeping her gaze far away from him.

She heard him leave, soft footsteps retreating toward the bedroom. Turning, she sank to the floor, back against the cabinet. What was going on? Couples had been married for years more than they were and were still happy. Had they moved too fast? She didn't know of many other couples who were in this position, so she had no basis for comparison.

How long she stayed there, she wasn't sure. She had to collect herself. He was right. They'd discussed a family. She just wasn't sure she'd been ready. She still wasn't sure, and she certainly wasn't sure she wanted Molly raising the kid.

After her back began to hurt, she stood up and headed to the bedroom. He wasn't there. She sighed and made her way to the den, each step made with a weary heart.

He was there, blanket already in tow. "Bill, come to bed," she offered softly. She wasn't ready to talk more, but she did want to try to move past it.

He was seated on the sofa with the blanket over his legs, flipping though a Quidditch magazine. Looking up at the sound of her voice, he set the reading aside.

There was really nothing more to say. He left the spare quilt in the den and followed her to the bedroom in silence.

With the covers turned back, he climbed into his side and switched off his bedside lamp. He could hear her getting ready across for bed across the room. When her weight sunk into the mattress beside him, he didn't turn or speak. They'd fall asleep with many things unspoken, but lots on their minds.

It was another problem for another day.
