Status: Finished!

If glares shot daggers, Zacharias would probably have a few holes in his head at this particular moment. Sitting in a rather untraditional position, he tapped his fingers consistantly atop the glazed brown table of his frequent pub. Living only a few steps from it, so to speak of his flat, it was an easy catch to settle down after a long day at work.

A pair of black high lace-up boots, worn loose, rest against the edge of the table as he leaned down in the chair. He used them to push off just a bit and rock himself in the beaten chair. His pants were a bit tight and a washed black, a zipper chasing down his leg from the knee on each side, which was held closed. His shirt was a simple white, adorned by a few stains- good luck guessing what they were of- and his trademark blazer was a rather loud red plaid.

He brought his tapping to a stop, much to the relief of those around him in the busy-ish pub. He placed both of his hands up to the back of his blonde head and laced them together. His hair stuck up only on the top of his head, the back was too much to be dealing with, and who was he to be impressing her, anyways? Apparently, he wasn't going for that or he would have made an attempt to dress a little better.

He didn't appear to be too pleased about their meeting, his eyebrows drawn together as he gazed at his classic beer, lonely and untouched on the table. He decided he would ~~try to~~ refrain from drinking too much upon their first meeting. Well... it was worth a shot, anyways. Who knew what this would bring to the table.

He pulled a disgusted face as he thought of the word, Ugh- marriage.

Hopefully she'll show... he thought, keeping his rich blue eyes on his sweating beer. It looked as if his nervousness was rubbing off on it, what was he supposed to be expecting from her? Not that she worried him a bit, but none of their shared words had ever been kind. Then again, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing...

He brought down one of his feet and reached forward for his beer, taking a few rather large swallows and setting it back down; off-center from the wet ring that indicated where it had once been sitting.

Oh, yeah... he could feel it... This was going to be one tense evening.

"I'm sure it'll can be arranged. I'll just spike all of your drinks so they are even more alcoholic. That and the bribe of seeing me in that outfit should do the trick, I think," El grinned, leaning back again as well.

"And yes you are somewhat of a pervert. Just thinking back to you writing in your journal about wanting a wife with a bangable body and whatnot. As long as you behave yourself though I won't give you a black eye. That was just a...panic reaction back then. Not every day that a drunk guy comes up to you and is all over you all of a sudden," She shuddered.

He laughed, "Excellent. But I refuse to make the outfit that is going to ruin my dignity."

He smiled lightly, thinking back on it. "Was it such a terrible request? Made many women angry with me."

"Sounds to me like we're recreating the memory, only you will be in very provacative outfit this time around." He pouted, "How could you possibly expect me to be drunk and behave myself around a women in underwear?"

"No worries, I'll make it," El grinned, obviously satisfied with herself.

"I wouldn't say a terrible request, you just said it in a rather...rude way. Plus you made it sound as if you wouldn't care if they'd marry you off to a sex toy," She rolled her eyes.

"This time there is a difference though. I know you, you're not some totally random guy. Big plus. As soon as we're married you're going to have to learn how to behave anyway. Wouldn't want to hear stories about my husband sexually harassing everyone."

He laughed and tipped himself, swaying a little while listening.

"Yes, well. I didn't really mean it, it was more for my own amusement. Plus, if I did get stuck with someone awful, they would understand why. No matter how rude it was, I can rather be that way sometimes... rude." He shrugged, "I'm sure you won't find problems dealing with it, yeah?" He winked

He grinned, "Learn to behave, huh. Gonna whip out the ruler?" He gave a whipping motion. "Rather kinky."

"Oh, no. Not everyone."

	"No, I'll just be rude in return and we'll yell at each other and then we'll be fine again," El shrugged, smiling at him. "Kinky? Aw you'd like that as well, admit it. So not everyone then, but those individuals with a bangable body," She rolled her eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 07:56 am UTC (link)
	He laughed, "Perfect." "Never said I wouldn't." "Oooh, no. I'm just messin' with ya." He winked. "I'll try my best to be respect to you. You'll see." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Aw you can be nice, I am totally stunned now," El smiled. Who would've thought that in the end everything would work out? More or less. "So when should the wedding of the year take place? The ministry is not giving us that much time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Who knew?" He smiled and looked upwards, fluttering his eyelashes again in a silly way. "We're actually hitting it off quiet well."

"Oh, yeah. Probably soon..." He said and rocked himself while he thought. "Oh, I don't know... maybe a couple of weeks just to get everything done. I think as long as we're doing something, they'll be satisfied enough not to fine us.

	"Surprisingly well, huh? I still insist on a romantic McDonald's date," She winked. "I hope so. You know what? I'm going to talk with the owner of the pub tomorrow and see what he says. No use in us settling on a date when we can't have the location at that time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 08:20 am UTC (link)
	Zach laughed and shook his head, "You're mad." He shrugged, "Yeah, you're right. That's fine." "So, have we decided that I'm moving in with you? I supposed we'll have to come up with when that would be. Since the wedding will probably be held somewhere over there, anyways. Right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 08:23 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe, but so are you," El smirked, playing with her hair again. "Right. Uh...actually you can move in whenever you want. We can redecorate after the wedding or so." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 08:44 am UTC (link)
	"Pff," he smiled and looked away from her. "Alright." He said, "Well, it doesn't have to be right away, as say, tomorrow." He said and let his chair fall for once, but kept his foot on the edge of his seat. "Hmmm, what to do about my furniture?" He said absently, looking around a bit. "I can just store with my parents... or do you need any?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 08:48 am UTC (link)
	Now talking about this whole moving in thing was not as easy as talking about the wedding. It was probably a bit scarier, because the wedding was all fun while moving in was...serious. "Urm...I don't really know," She bit her bottom lip. "Why don't you come over and have a look? We can always decide then, I think." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 08:59 am UTC (link)
	He raised a brow slightly at her change in attitude, but decided not to say anything of it. "Ahhh, okay," he said and tapped his fingers on the table a few times before stopping himself and bringing his hands into his lap. "Today? Orrr..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you want to. My place is a bit of a mess though, with the rehearsals starting I didn't have time to clean yet," El admitted somewhat sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 10:23 am UTC (link)
	Zach shrugged, "Don't worry about it, it doesn't matter," he said in a bit of a monotone and played with the buttons on his open blazer. "But I don't care, it was just a suggestion. If you want to clean up first we can just do this another day. We don't have to be in a hurry to get anything done yet." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 10:48 am UTC (link)
	"Oh no, it's okay. If you don't mind the mess we can go like...now." She shrugged and smiled lightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 10:55 am UTC (link)
	"I'm down," he said and moved both of his feet to the floor and standing up. He stretched a bit with a yawn, feeling his shirt rise with it. He dropped his arms and pulled his shirt back down in place while he waited for her. "Did you apparate, or what?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 10:59 am UTC (link)
	"Kay." Grabbing her bag El got up as well, leaving the pub with him. "I did, yes." Once outside the pub she took his hand and apparated them to an alley behind her apartment. "Here we are...well almost." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 11:30 am UTC (link)
	Zach followed her out silently, and jumped a little when she took his hand. He hadn't expected them to apparate so quickly. He laughed once they were there, teasing lightly, "Damn. No waiting around, huh?" He looked around, "A'right, lead the way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 11:43 am UTC (link)
	"Nope. I hate waiting. Mum tends to say I am too impatient," El replied cheerful, leading him to one of the houses in the street. "My flat's on the third floor." Rummaging through her bag she tried to find her keys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	He laughed and pushed for another tease, "No kidding. Why would she say that?" "Oh, in Merlin's name!" He watched her rummage through her bag again, amused by it from his expression. "Women and their bags..." He shook his head, "Why torture yourself with that thing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 01:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh leave me alone. My bag is the only girly thing I have," El laughed, opening the door when she'd finally found the key. "Here we are. Welcome to your...well soon to be home, I guess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 01:10 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugged and stepped inside, peering around with a whistle. "Nice, how rooms is it?" He asked and brought up a hand to scratch at the side of his head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
