Status: Closed/In Progress

Daniel paced the flat he previously shared with Su. He was pretty sure she'd come while he was at work and cleaned the place out of her things. He looked around and couldn't find a trace of her. The only thing was a note left that she was staying with her parents, that perhaps it was better this way, and she wished him the best of luck. Bella moved around the place seeming to look for her former mistress and moping a bit. It made Daniel feel a bit bad. Perhaps he should feel a bit more upset about the annulment, but he didn't. In fact his heart was a great deal lighter, especially with the second owl announcing he was to marry Tracey. He thought about her and smiled.

Rummaging through the kitchen he put up some tea. He thought about making a plate of some cookies or sweets he had in the cupboards, but was afraid Tracey might find that a bit much. Instead he pulled out his container of gummy worms that he always kept full and began to snack, biting into one and stretching the sweet out as far as possible before it snapped apart. It was his favourite.

"Tracey, stop. Look at me, please." He loosened his hold on her, turned her gently. Daniel lifted her chin, stroked her cheek with his thumb. "I'm not a fool, despite what you might think. I know we're not in love. I know this situation isn't ideal, but I think we have a chance." He kissed her forehead, her cheeks. "Honestly, I find the idea of you as my wife much more appealing than a stint in prison. Would being with me really be that bad?" He would do anything he could to make her happy. Wasn't that enough?

"Bastard." She wanted to hit him. Just a nice slap across the face and walk out. Then he'd really hate her. Or she could hex his cat. Instead she just channeled everything she could into being what she would have been with any other guy. A cold bitch, so to speak. "What makes you think I care about love, Romeo? I don't. I'm not sure if I told you enough before, but I'm not what you seem to think. I'm going to be bored of you as soon as I've had you, just like everybody else. You're not that special."

That hurt more than it should have. Smirking, she pushed his hands away, immediately missing the gentleness. "Just forget about marriage, Daniel. I'll be the one they put in prison, not you."

Daniel sighed in frustration. This was ridiculous. He lifted his hands in surrender. "You know what? Fine. You want to hide behind the heartless bitch routine and push me away? Go ahead."

He ran a hand through his hair and started to walk back towards the kitchen, then stopped and turned back to her. "Why are you so afraid to let yourself just be happy? And newsflash, we're in this together whether you like it or not. You refuse to get married the ministry will send us both to prison. So stop trying to be a god damn martyr."

He finally walked into the kitchen then and opened the fridge. Grabbing a beer, he opened it and tossed the cap in the sink. He took a long swig. Tea was just not going to cut it right now.

"God DAMMIT!" Tracey felt childish, but was just so angry. Cold heartless bitch routine. That sort of pissed her off, even if it was true. She hated making him angry like this. "You can always plead with the Ministry that I refused. It's already common knowledge and my boss has been giving me shite about it on behalf of the Ministry so I'm sure they'd understand."

After a while of pacing, trying to calm down, Tracey finally decided to calm down. "If I wear white I think everybody is going to laugh through the ceremony." She sighed, crossing her legs and frowning when the cat took to her lap like a pillow.

"If the Ministry was so understanding, none of us would be in this situation to begin with," he replied dryly. Part of him wanted to go sit with her, but he was still a little pissed off. Daniel stayed in the kitchen, leaning against the counter drinking his beer.

He had to laugh a little at her next comment. "Well no one says you have to. Didn't your friend do some sort of costume thing?"

Tracey fidgeted, busying herself with the cat who seemed to be purring. "My friend." She let out a bitter laugh. El would be pissed. Or not care. How could she ever look at El again when, if she married Daniel, it would make her a hypocrite.

"No. I'll wear white just to see their faces. I guess. If you actually want to marry me, knowing that I'll probably just end up screwing you over. Ouch." She pouted, glaring at the cat whose claws were in her leg.

Daniel didn't understand her attitude towards her friend. As far as he knew, Tracey and Eleanor were close. Then again, what did he know. He just nodded rolling his eyes as she yet again suggested she would hurt him or 'screw him over'. He laughed though when Bella obviously snagged her. Even the cat thought her attitude over this was annoying.

"Can we cut out the dire warnings and just hash this out?" He took another swig of his beer and walked over. Rather than sit beside her though, he plopped down in a chair. Crossing his leg over his knee, he looked at her. "How do you want to do this? Do you have family you want there? A particular place in mind?"

"Prat." Fine. She could be mean too. When he sat down she shot a glare, trying to detach the cat's claws only to see she was bleeding. "Oh, that's lovely."

"No more dire warnings, got it." Tracey sneered about the warnings, carefully setting the cat on the ground and watching it go to it's owner. "I suppose my father will want to be there. I could care less about any other family, but I will have plenty of friends. And I really do not care about where it's at."

Daniel picked up the cat and pet her head. "You got to be nice to her, girl, even when she's grumpy. She's going to be your new mistress." He looked over at Tracey, an amused smile on his face. He put the cat down and set his beer on the table. He went and got a tea towel, wet it and brought it over to Tracey. Crouching down he wiped at the blood on her leg. He blew on it lightly to take off the sting.

Looking up at her, he sighed. "Fine. I'm sure parents will want to attend this one too. My friends from Uni will show up for the booze." He bit his lip thoughtfully a moment. "You know, we could just run off and do it. No big to do, no white dress. Just us and a judicial official."

	Why did he have to be so endearing? She ceased her glare when he returned with the towel, smiling down at him. "I'm sorry Daniel. El and I have just been fighting and I've been an emotional wreck and... Sorry for the doom and gloom." She smirked down at him. "What do you want?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He nodded as she explained. Daniel knew this likely wasn't easy on her in some repects. She'd been linked to a complete asshole and in the space of a day had that impending marriage canceled and the new one announced with him. He smiled at her apology, though he honestly wished she could just be happy with the idea of marrying him.

Daniel's brows rose when she actually asked what he wanted. "Truthfully?" He paused a moment, looked up at her. "I kind of want to just take off and do it. Just us. We can get some rings, go down to the Ministry and just do it. Then go off for a couple days." He bit his lip and gave her a little smile. "What do you think?"

"We can do that. If you promise to let me have my wicked way with you." Her father was going to be angry. After all the times he tried to get her to marry and he'd be missing it. "However.... There is one more thing or else I'm not marrying you."

She smirked, giving him a flirtatious wink. It was a relief he wasn't angry anymore, or at least not as angry, and she had calmed down rather quick. "I want a proposal."

	Daniel laughed and couldn't help the slight blush that rose in his cheeks. "I promise." He looked at her anxiously wondering what condition she'd set, then grinned at her response. "I think I can manage that. Just one question." He took her hand and kissed right over her ring finger. "White or yellow gold?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tracecontrol 2008-08-04 07:03 am UTC (link)
	"White, definitely." Tracey smiled, feeling a rise in her cheeks. She pulled him up enough to press her lips against his, now feeling a bit better. "When should we do this? I'll have to let work know I'm disappearing for a while." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daniel kissed her back, smiling happily as they parted. He was sure, despite her initial stubbornness that this would work out. He got off his knees and sat beside her, his arm going around her shoulders. "How about this coming Thursday. We can get married that day and then have a long weekend. Where would you like to go?"

Tracey leaned into him, resting her head against his. "Truthfully, I don't care. Anywhere with a beach. Unless you're tired of seeing me in a bikini." She smirked, knowing full well no guy could tire of her in a bikini. Unless she gained weight. "Can we send postcards from there? I really want to send a postcard home saying 'wish you were here. love, Mr. and Mrs. Summerby.' Give people a heart attack."

He laughed and shook his head lightly. "No, not at all. We can do a beach, but not Brighton again. Too many damn tourists. How about Sardinia? There's a little port city Oristano and I know a passable amount of Italian." Daniel grinned at her and kissed her cheek. "You can send as many postcards as you want." He bit his lip and didn't say how much he liked how it sounded when she said Mr. and Mrs. Summerby.

	"You're grinning like a maniac, Daniel." Poor guy must be insane, being excited about marrying her. Though, to be fair, she was feel a slight buzz of excitement. Her mind was keeping away the doubts and focusing on the good things. "Oristano works. I'm not very good with Italian, however, I doubt we'll be going out much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm happy," he said simply. Daniel turned to face her. He kissed her softly and smiled. He needed to go out and find her a ring and figure out when and where he was going to propose and didn't have long to do it. "I'll book us someplace nice. Close to the beach, if I can."

	"I'd really like that." Maybe this wasn't going to be as bad as she thought. Tracey smiled, pulling him to her on the couch so she could cuddle with him. "No rush. Well... I guess there may be a little rush, but I'm sure you can handle it. Just let me know when you're ready. We'll have the whole weekend together, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	summerbythesea 2008-08-05 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, the whole weekend. Sort of like an actual honeymoon." Part of him felt bad a moment. He didn't have one last time around. Still, there was no use focusing on that. "We can do the Ministry in the morning and then just portkey there." Daniel was actually a bit excited. He wrapped his arms around her. "I promise I'll do whatever I can to make you happy."
