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.

	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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 01:10 pm UTC (link)
	how many rooms* (Reply to this) (Parent)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 01:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah well, it is not too bad, I guess," El smiled, dropping her bag and flopping down on the couch. "Kitchen, bathroom, living room, huge closet and only one bedroom, I fear." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned, "Perfect." "Now I can physically harrass you while you're sleeping." He gave her a wink and stuffed his hands inside his pockets, leaning against one of the walls. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 01:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't you dare," She mock glared at him, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "You can sit down, you know? Would you like something to drink?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	countingsheep 2008-07-22 01:30 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugged, "Mmmmm, I'm a'right, I think," he said and sat down. "Thanks. I'm thinking I want a cigarette, though. You want? I still owe you one." He reached into his blazer pocket and pulled out a pack, giving a small smile. "Laziness, yeah?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	eleanor_ 2008-07-22 01:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah sure." El agreed and made herself comfortable on the couch, trying not to think about how awkward it would be to share her apartment with someone. That someone being her husband on top of that all. Oh my, the world was surely confusing these days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
