Who: Bianca Rivers and Ritchie Cootes.
When: After practice Monday evening.
Where: Quidditch pitch, Ballycastle Bats practice.
What: A visit between friends.
Rating: PG-13, likely nothing other than mild insanity.
Status: In Progress / Incomplete.

Bianca had literally not left her flat save to go to work in over three weeks. It was strange how it hit her all of a sudden instead of slowly building up. She needed to get out. It was possible Melinda would be over eventually with a naughty CD to pester the old neighbors with, but Bianca wasn't entirely sure when or if that would happen.

She made a snap decision then to go visit one of the few people she had always called a friend. Ritchie. She glanced at a clock, sure he was at Quidditch practise now. Bianca remembered almost everything people told her, which sometimes came off as creepy. Nontheless, now that she knew where she was going and what she was planning to do, she felt happier. Bianca was always happier with a concrete plan.

Before she left, Bee grabbed a few wrapped deli sandwiches she'd picked up for lunch. Maybe Ritchie wouldn't want one, but he was bound to be hungry after practising. Her nose wrinkled slightly at the thought of presenting a friend with food she hadn't cooked herself, but it would have to do on short notice. With a crack, Bianca had apparated.

A sandwich, oh man he was starving. "You are too good to me Bee." He said as he moved towards her and took the sandwich but she wasn't going to get away that easy. He had this silly grin on his face and was going to be so very amused by the reaction he was going to get. Ritchie went in for a hug but he didn't go all the way, he didn't actually want to piss her off. "Thanks for the sandwich." He said and air kissed her cheek. "I will shower before I touch you."

Bianca wrinkled her nose as Ritchie came closer. She was more polite to him than to most people, so she wasn't actually going to point out that she could smell him, but she definitely could. She breathed a small sigh of relief when he refrained from actually hugging her, and she beamed when he took the sandwich.

"You're too good to me, Ritchie." She knew some people thought she was crazy for having such issues with dirt and germs, but her friend had always gone with the flow as if there wasn't anything unnatural about her. She air-kissed him back and held out her hands.

"I didn't make that, you know. I bet it tastes horrible, but I came last minute and didn't have time to make you something proper."

Bianca had been like this since he had met her and he was always one to respect her boundaries. He didn't understand why people didn't like her or thought her a bitch, Ritchie thought she was great. She brought him food. Plus they just seemed to get along as long as their was respect for the dirt and germs. Ritchie opened up the sandwich and took a bite out of it. Swallowing he grinned, "Nah it tastes fine. Not as good as homemade but I am so hungry this is fab." He nodded his head as he took another bite of the sandwich.

"So I suppose you want me to shower, because if I can smell me, you can smell me" Ritchie winked at his friend and took another bite of his sandwich.

Bianca kept her facial expression normal, though she was secretly appalled that Ritchie was eating this sandwich as if were a masterpiece. She had an issue with people favoring food over hers, but as Ritchie had pointed that that it was quite as good as homemade, she was willing to let it slide.

"I have another one if you'd like. I don't think I'll be eating it." She had brought both of them so she could share with him, but now she found she simply couldn't bring herself to eat it. Why had she bought the bloody things in the first place? Just in case Melinda showed up without warning? Bianca really needed to find some friends.

"Oh, it's .. okay." Bee smiled at Ritchie and then laughed, pointing in the direction of the locker room. "Oh, bother, just go."

"Oh Bee are you sure? I don't want to impose. But I am so hungry. You know I can't cook so this is heaven compared to my cooking. Granted if they were yours they would be like an orgasm in a sandwich." Ritchie smirked as her and finished of his sandwich before running his fingers through his hair.

"I will be back for you and that other sandwich in like ten minutes." He nodded his head and got up and ran for the locker room. He heard the guys jeers as he rushed to the shower stripping off as he got there. He didn't even dignify their comments with a response as he got under the water. Once all clean he jumped out toweled off and pulled on his clothing. He waved good bye to the guys and told them he would see them tonight for their celebration and then picked up his backpack and headed out to find Bianca.

"Well I am all clean. Can I get a hug?" He asked and held his arms open.

A grin spread across Bianca's lips. Ritchie knew exactly how to make her happy, and he seemed to have no problem doing it on a regular basis. Why weren't all men as perceptive as her friend?

Bianca waved Ritchie off as he headed to the showers, and stayed in exactly the same spot until he returned. She certainly wasn't going to sit on the ground, and she shuddered to think of the disgusting germs that were scattered across the stadium bleachers. Besides, last time she'd actually sat on one, a stupid player had crawled underneath to try and look up her skirt.

When Ritchie returned, Bee smiled again and care him a very careful hug. She gave absolutely terrible hugs as a matter of fact, refusing to hold someone too tight or to press her body that close to someone. Somehow, Ritchie didn't mind that either.

She pulled away from him and dangled the sandwich in front of him.

"Still hungry?"

Bianca gave one of her hugs and he just smiled because he was use to it and he had grown to like her hugs. Honestly if he got any closer than that to her it would freak him out that he actually was allowed to. He just accepted the fact that this was a Bianca hug and that this was Bianca.

"Is the sky blue?" He said and reached out for the sandwich. "I will still be hungry after this so did you want to cook me dinner?" He waggled his eyebrows hoping for a yes as he opened up the sandwich and dug in again. It was a shocker he wasn't fat with how much he ate.

	Bianca flashed a grin at her friend and bounced up down on the balls of her feet. "You know I would love to cook you dinner! I haven't cooked for anyone outside the restaurant in a long time. What would you like?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Pasta? Steak? Food!" Ritchie just wanted to eat something that was not take out. He continued to munch on his sandwich. He balled up the wrapper and looked for a place to toss it. He continued to bite at the sandwich and eventually it was all done. Ritchie grinned at Bianca as he adjusted the shoulder strap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I can do pasta," Bianca nodded, her brain already gone off elsewhere as she mentally racked the contents of her kitchen cabinets at home. She certainly wouldn't have enough time to bake bread, but that she could pick up at the bakery near her house. There was penne in the cupboard and some sauce she had made last week frozen in the freezer. She could have a decent meal together within thirty minutes.

"You're coming home with me, then?"

"Sounds delicious!" Ritchie said with a grin as looked at her wondering if she was already putting the meal together in her head. "Oh yes I am. I have some juicy details of my love life. It is no longer non-existent." Ritchie nodded his head as scratched his head before tossing his hand over his hair. "That is if you want to hear about it, but I could also help in anyway you deem fit." Ritchie shrugged his shoulders causing his bag to move and he had to readjust it.

"Of course, it will be delicious." Bianca ran her fingers through her hair and then smoothed it out again. "Ooh, gossip?" Bianca waggled her eyebrows back at Ritchie. "A love life? You'll have to tell me all about it. Heads says it was a guy, tails says it was a girl."

When he asked if he could help, Bianca bit back actual laughter. "Ritchie, please. If you step one foot into my kitchen, I will kill you."

She was fidgeting slightly, eager to get home and start cooking. "We have to apparate; I didn't bring my car."

"Heads it is!" Ritchie laughed loudly at how funny that sounded to him and scratched his head. "On gorgeous guy. I didn't realize how much I needed it." Ritchie blushed a little and smiled at Bianca. He was never embarrassed to talk to her about these things. She accepted him the way he was just like he accepted her and that might be why this worked.

"Fine, no going in your kitchen, I will stand in the doorway." He smirked as he got himself ready to apparate. "So I suppose I shall meet you there?"

Bianca couldn't help but snicker at the double meaning she got from the word head. Sometimes her childish side would peek out just a little, and sure enough, it was pretty much only when Ritchie was around.

"Gorgeous, huh? We'll see." She grinned at him, twirled daintily on her foot and disappeared with a soft crack.

A few seconds later she arrived in her own apartment and moved to the door to unlock it for Ritchie. She immediately began to pull things out of cabinets. Pasta from this one, sauce from the freezer, lettuce from the vegetable drawer. She placed a large chunk of frozen sauce into a pan to heat while she filled another pot with boiling water. Ritchie would be there in a second, she figured. There were a couple of barstools next to her kitchen island. He could sit there and chat with her without actually being in the kitchen.

"Yes gorgeous," he said but sure she didn't hear it as she was gone. He sighed before waving to some guys that had come out and apparated to the door of Bianca's apartment. Ritchie walked in knowing she would have unlocked it and was pleased to see so. He placed his bag on the ground and flicked off his shoes and placed them beside his bag. He walked towards the barstools he was familiar with and settled in to watch her cook like it had happened before.

"So yes, gorgeous. So you know Noel Vaisey? He is a year younger than me. Anyway I saw him at open mic night since the guys wanted to go check it out. I like fell in love at first sight and then I heard him sing." Ritchie was even happy just replaying the memory.

"Noel Vaisey." Bianca remembered everyone, of course, but it took her a second to place a name with the face. "Slytherin?" She finally asked, breaking apart clumps of sauce with a big wooden spoon. "Quidditch team?" She set the spoon down and pulled out a large knife. She set to work chopping up the head of lettuce, making a mental note to pull out the tomatoes and the cucumber she had just seen in her vegetable bin.

"Did you sing?" Bianca looked up with a grin. "Alright, gorgeous face and gorgeous voice, I take it. What about his body?" She clicked her tongue like a disapproving mother. "Not that you'd know, would you? Not on the first date." She was grinning again.

"Yup definitely Slytherin, not that it really came up." Ritchie just knew because they had mentioned it and he had remembered, but it had not been a center piece of conversation. "Yes I think he was on the quidditch team," Ritchie couldn't remember because all of his memories that were infecting his mind were very recent. When he thought about Noel it just brought back thoughts of the night together nothing else, which could be a good or bad thing. As he dwelled on his thoughts he watched her work her magic, really it was magic to him.

"No, you think I would sing to get booed of the stage?" Ritchie laughed at the thought of him singing and croaking away in a godawful key that didn't even exist until he started sing. "You have heard me, it is terrible. Or have you? I can give you a demo." Ritchie wasn't going to put his friend's ears at the mercy of his voice.

"Oh I do know," Ritchie blushed as he thought about Noel's naked body. "It was gorgeous. His bum, his body. Everything. I got a pretty good view. Oh and boy the sounds he makes are like amazing." Ritchie tried not to think of them otherwise he would end up in an awkward situation around Bee.

Bianca added the penne to the big vat of water and gave her sauce another poke with the spoon. She listened to Ritchie talk, and though she wasn't actually looking at him she knew he'd know she was still paying attention. She had just finished putting her chopped lettuce into a large bowl when Ritchie got to the part about Noel's bum and the sounds he could make. A slight blush colored her face and she dipped down into the refrigerator to hide it. To say that Bianca was a virgin just didn't quite have the right force to it. It was, after all, hard to have a physical relationship with someone when you were absolutely disgusted by the amount of germs their body contained.

She fetched the cucumber from the veggie drawer and grabbed two tomatoes as well. Satisfied that her face was a normal color by now, Bee stood back up and placed her vegetables on the counter. She was quiet for a second as the chopping began.

"I'm sure you wouldn't have been booed off the stage! I bet you sound, err, lovely." She snickered quietly, unable to keep up the charade. "Never mind, it's probably good you didn't. Don't want to scare off your knew friend, eh?"

"Was it absolutely wonderful?" Bee asked sort of seriously, not quite wanting to get into the specifics of what it was. "I'm happy for you. Will you be seeing him again?"
