mikael harper, parvati patil

Who: Parvati Patil and Mikael Harper
What: The 'happy' couple talk. And one tries not to murder the other.
Where: Charing Cross Station
When: Thursday June 20th
Rating: E
Status: Closed/Complete

Parvati had not been lying when she said she was ready for an arranged marriage. It was just a different type she had expected. She had hoped her parents would beat the Ministry in finding her somebody, but she realised too late she had been way too picky. So now she was stuck with a guy who took longer doing his hair than she did. He was grouchy and egotistical. The worst part was that her parents would die when they found out. Their dreams of a nice Indian wedding would be forever squashed.

To say she was angry was an understatement. In retrospect Parvati had not accepted the announcement as gracefully as she could have. Mikael was probably taking that better than her. Still, she was disappointed. He brought out the worst in her. She just wanted to annoy him every time they spoke. Not to mention he had called her a girly girl.

After takling the longest shower in history to calm down, Parvati found herself calmed down enough to face her-she couldn't even really think the word. She threw on a random outfit and hurried to Charing Cross Station, not looking forward to dinner at all.

"Hyde Park sounds nice." Partvati stopped him near a convenience store. "Wait here a moment. I'll get us something to drink." She smiled and hurried inside. In a moment she was back out with a bag. "Okay, now we can go. And yes, I know two guys who have kids already. I've never met Sam or his kid, but Owen's daughter is sweet. She was sick the other day, but I hope she's better."

	"Kay." Mikael waited outside, watching the passer-bys. He looked up when Parvati came out of the store again and started to walk towards Hyde Park. "Oh wow. I mean kids are nice, but that's a huge responsibility for someone so young, isn't it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Parvati smiled, feeling slightly energetic. Eventually her energy would fade but not until the cake was done. Hopefully. Though the sugar may give her another rush. "Both Sam and Owen seem to be taking care of the responsibility well enough. Besides, you're never too young for kids. I know-" Parvati cut herself off, blushed, and walked a little faster. "You're right. Kids so young is too much. But luckily those two know what to do."

	"That's good to hear. What do you know, though?" Mikael asked, his curiousity getting the better of him. They soon arrived at Hyde Park and Mikael looked around, trying to make out a good spot for their picnic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Nothing. I know absolutely nothing. I thought I knew something, but changed my mind on the matter." She did not want to imagine having children with Mikael. He was stubborn, had a horrible ego, annoyed her, and seemed barely ever serious. He aggravated her. Even though she had to admit he was growing on her.

"Here." Parvati found a nice spot under a tree and threw a napkin on the ground. After looking around and making sure nobody would notice, she transfigured it into a small picnic blanket. Smiling, she sat down.

	Mikael raised an eyebrow but shrugged. "If you say so." Smiling he sat down on the blanket, unpacking all of the cake samples. "I hereby announce that the cake buffet is ready to be plundered." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Parvati's stomach made an odd noise and she smiled, blushing a little. "I think I'm ready to dig in. Did we bring forks?" She pulled out some cans of hard lemonade. "Sorry, but it's the only type of alcohol they really had and I wanted lemonade." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mikael_harper 2008-07-04 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	Mikael rummaged through the bags the bakery lady had given them, a sound of triumph leaving his lips when he found two plastic forks. "Here we go." He handed one to Parvati, eyeing the hard lemonade. "That's fine, any kind of alcohol is fine. We can...celebrate this later with champagne." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Success!" Parvati smiled, handing Mikael a can of the lemonade and taking the plastic fork from him. "You just like champagne. Admit it. I mean, champagne for breakfast even? I bet you're really a drunkard."

She smiled, opening her can and taking one of the slices of red velvet. Her favourite. She split the sample in half so he could have some as well. "Oh shiva, this cake is wonderful." Parvati already had a forkful in her mouth.

	"I do like champagne, but my drink of choice is beer," Mikael replied. "I dunno if I am a drunkard. After a week of work I just like to get wasted and have a bit of fun," He shrugged, taking a forkful of cake. "Hm definitely not bad." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	divinepatil 2008-07-04 02:50 pm UTC (link)
	"You are just picky." Parvati stuck her tongue out at him before going for another forkful of cake. "We don't really drink in my house. Every once in a while when I go out shopping I get something, but that's it." She wrinkled her nose. "I've never actually had champagne." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mikael_harper 2008-07-04 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah and you aren't picky at all?" Mikael asked, taking a sip of the lemonade and winking at her. "It is high time you had some, then. Personally I think champagne is overrated, but it is nice for a celebration." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	divinepatil 2008-07-04 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I suppose we'll have some at the wedding, won't we? Or maybe I'll have some the next time I go out dancing." She shrugged, picking happily at the samples. A day without food made her hard lemonade and cakes a feast. "And for your information I'm not picky." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mikael_harper 2008-07-04 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	"There is nothing wrong with being picky," Mikael pointed out, slowly but steadily making his way through all the cakes. "Well, I don't know what you think but the chocolate one is my favourite so far." He commented, liking some chocolate icing from his fork. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	divinepatil 2008-07-04 03:08 pm UTC (link)
	"Mmm?" Parvati's mouth was full of cake so she had to swallow and lick some of the icing off her lips. "Which chocolate one? There's half a dozen." She smiled and took a sip of her lemonade. "I'm biased towards the marble and red velvet. But I can red velvet some other time. Which chocolate did you like?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mikael_harper 2008-07-04 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	"That chocolate one," Mikael pointed with his fork to one of the chocolate cakes. "But you know, I am sure we can get some kind of combination of chocolate and red velvet cake. That'd actually be really nice, what do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It would be interesting enough. Red velvet with chocolate icing maybe?" She was already starting on the chocolate piece he had pointed out. "I think I just gained a ton." She washed it all down with the last of her lemonade before grabbing another can. "So, tell me a little more about you. I know you take a while doing your hair, like your mother, enjoy partying, and don't like children." She tried not to frown on the last bit.

Mikael flopped back down on the blanket, looking up at the slowly darkening sky.

"I am not going to eat anything for three days," he declared, thinking that he had eaten more today than he normally ate in five days. Turning his head he looked up at Parvati, wrinkling his nose.

"I never said I didn't like children. I do like children, just thought it'd be hard to be a single parent at our age. Uh...what else to tell? I enjoy writing and reading, my favourite author is Oscar Wilde and I despise fruit tea."

Parvati perked up a little at the mention of Oscar Wilde, a slight smirk on her face. She spread out on the blanket, bringing her can of lemonade with her. She closed her eyes and did her best to recall a book she had read when she was younger.

"'The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.' I never read many of Oscar Wilde's books, but The Picture of Dorian Gray was one of my favourites."

"Women are meant to be loved, not understood," Mikael quoted, grinning at Parvati. "You know what else he said? 'In married life affection comes when people thorougly dislike each other." His grin turned into a smirk.

"The Picture of Dorian Gray is awesome. Have you read his fairy tales? Because you really should, they are great. I have the book at home, you can borrow it if you want."

Parvati purposely faked a yawn while stretching and hit Mikael in the face. "Oops, sorry." That was for saying women were not meant to be understood. She rolled onto her stomach and leaned up on her elbows.

"I can't say I've read them. I'm totally stealing that book from you now. I need some good fairy tales. If that is all there is to you then you're a simple man."

"Ouch!" Mikael rubbed his nose, mock glaring at her. "Don't punch me for things that Oscar said. It's his bullshit, not mine," He pouted.

"They are good but some are totally sad. Brimming with moral and metaphors of course, but really great. And maybe I am a simple man, would that be something bad?" He had been surrounded by the most expensive and extravagant things all his life and at some point Mikael had started to appreciate simple things.

	Parvati smiled, shrugging. "Technically it was your choice to spout the bullshit. And there's nothing wrong with simple things. At all. I guess I've always like extravagant things though. Grass is always green on the other side, you know?" She tilted her head back enough to drink the lemonade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're right. Well, good you are marrying me then. Lots of extravagant things coming your way. Like that wonderful and extravagant necklace I bought that you are going to accept," He added under his breath, smiling sweetly at her. "Give me luxuries, and anyone can have the necessaries."

	"Awww, that's so cute! You think I'm accepting the necklace. Nope!" Parvati giggled, rolling onto her back once more. It was harder drinking that way, but oh well. "Remind me to assassinate Shacklebolt for putting us together. He must have had a death wish to think any kids coming from us would be a good thing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
