Her cheeks were rosy pink and she couldn't stop smiling. Hestia's hands fell from the back of Kendrick's head as he rolled to lay beside her, though it was not by choice. No, she may be contentedly exhausted, but she would never willingly create distance between herself and him. Tonight had been perfect and she wanted every second of it to last as long as possible. It wasn't that nights like tonight with him were rare, she simply... felt happy, so very happy to be here, her, with him, now. And the thought of going to sleep to end all that was something she would fight until her eyelids could stay open no more.

When Kendrick kissed her ear, Hestia cupped his face in her palm to keep him close, no matter how much his gentle lips tickled. Her cheeks turned pinker still, her eyes squinting shut in pleasure. Did he know the effect that he had on her? Yes of course he did, or else he wouldn't know all the right places to touch, caress her. Her legs shifted within the bedsheets, the softness of them content against her skin. She rolled to face him, her body happy and hot before him.

"There is the whole day tomorrow to recoup," Hestia agreed, her voice just about a whisper. As her hand moved to rest against his bare chest (honestly, her eyes twinkled at the sight), she bit down on her bottom lip. Such act did not hinder her smile, however.

"We can..." she began, her fingers brushing circles against his chest. "Stay in bed all day and... eat snacks and... nap... or..."

Hestia didn't exactly know, but the thought of spending a lazy day with him after this beautiful night was the only thing she could ever want to do. She reached up, holding the side of Kendrick's face again for a slow, sound kiss.

Eat snacks and nap… He chuckled at her suggestions while her lips were pressed to his, though Kendrick's heart nevertheless thumped pleasantly at the kiss. Ordinarily, he would have baulked at the thought of acting like an hundred-and-twenty-year-old, but the thing with Hestia was that it didn't feel like he was acting like a decrepit old wizard. He enjoyed all the things they did together, but it never felt more like they were at their best than the days they spent doing nothing much of anything.

And it would be nice to spend his remaining day off in such a way. In exchange for not being on call for neither New Year's Eve nor Day, he'd be very, very busy for the foreseeable future. Kendrick wanted to enjoy as much time with Hestia as possible before the lull the holidays had lured them into fully dissipated.

When he pulled away after a long few moments, his smile widened, dimples plainly visible. Taking his hand away from her waist, he gathered her wandering fingers to his chest, holding them close above his heart. "I like eating snacks with you."

She just decided: she simply would not sleep tonight. She could sleep later, the day after tomorrow, even! There was absolutely no way she could fall asleep now, as her heart felt like it was bursting from her chest, as her skin tingling alive, as---

She liked eating snacks with him too! Hestia liked--- everything better with Kendrick! It was always better with him, even the simplest most mundane things felt exciting, worthwhile, meaningful! Hestia nodded furiously, her fingers curling into his. Sometimes she felt absurd for how happy she felt with him, like it wasn't real. It was, she knew it was and she held onto that tight, because with him, Hestia knew this was the happiest she had ever been. Kendrick made her so happy everytime he looked at her, everytime he laughed softly, everytime---

Hestia pressed her lips together, momentarily overcome by the unadulterated love she felt for the wizard before her. She had never been in love before, never like this, that she was sure. And with the Chambers having moved out of their flat, Hestia had been thinking... that... she spent nearly all of her time here at Kendrick's anyway, so maybe...

With a sudden movement, Hestia pressed the top of her head to Kendrick's chest. She felt nervous in this moment, or perhaps just so very alive, so it took her a pause and a deep breath to speak her mind.

"I've been thinking," she began, picking her head up so that her chin perched atop his chest. "The Chambers have moved to another part of London, and since I spend so much time here at your flat anyway, I was thinking... maybe... if you wanted... we could talk about the possibility of moving i---"

Hestia stopped as a loud bang, presumably from the front door, interrupted her words. Eyes going wide, because they were very persistent knocks, she tightened her clutch on Kendrick. Who would be looking to see him at a time like this?

"Ah—" Distracted, Kendrick glanced up at the bedroom door in confusion, then back at Hestia. "I—" The knock sounded again, and he blinked, unable to focus on the conversation, the seemingly important, conversation at hand. Breathing out aggrievedly, Kendrick gently removed himself from Hestia's warm embrace with an apologetic expression and a quick kiss on the forehead. "Sorry, I just—let me see who that is, and then—"

Hobbling out of bed, he reached for his pyjamas and hurriedly pulled them on, saying, "I'll be right back," as he shrugged into his shirt, elbowing the door to the bedroom open. His thoughts were a complicated swirl, wondering if Hestia's thinking had been going where he thought it had been going, and wondering if… Was he ready to do that? Move in? It made a kind of sense, he knew, because she was here more often than not… even when he was not, as Kendrick had given her a spare key, concerned when they'd first met that she might not always have a place to sleep.

But to make it official—to commingle their possessions, possibly their finances, to plan their schedules together, and let the other know if they would miss dinner—it was a lot. Kendrick hadn't consciously taken that step with someone before, so he wasn't sure what being ready felt like. Perhaps one never felt ready, but simply did it? Or—

A third round of knocking shook him from his thoughts, and Kendrick began to grow a bit apprehensive about who might be at the door at this hour. One of his siblings, perhaps? Had something happened? Or—was it something more sinister? His hand curled around his wand as he reached for the doorknob, pulling it open a crack.

Shocked, he opened the door wider, eyes darting around wildly. "Melia?" Kendrick asked, frowning. "What are you—?"

The witch on his porch pulled back the hood of her cloak. "I need your help," she said. He then noticed her odd positioning a second before she stepped to the side, tugging her arm forward. "And so does your son."
