Where: Rules and then.. ?
What: A date for her birthday!
Rating: TBD
Open/Closed: OPEN- To Susan Bones

He really shouldn't be nervous anymore, should he? Marcus Flint doesn't do nervous. Girls get nervous about him and it's never the other way around. He's never worried about being pleasing enough because, Merlin, he's got a smile that makes casual sex so very easy, makes his life easy.

And look where that got him. Delaney Twilfitt pregnant with his child.

It's no wonder that he's searching for something different. Searching for something so that when Jovian is old enough to ask if his father loves his wife he can answer truthfully with a yes, rather than the grunts given to him by his father.

But the search is awkward. It has him in unfamiliar territory and looking more and more like... like Oliver fucking Wood rather than famed, brutal, handsome, Marcus Flint. But this doesn't stop him from pursuing Susan further. There is the general reasons: she's too pretty, insanely pretty. She's got eyes that make his heart race and he does wonder on occasion what she'd look like with her head tilted back, lips uttering his name in a half moan. But then there is more than that cropping up. He can't get enough of how kind she is, how understanding. She's patient and she's got a love for gardens that he shares and he can't help but think she'd be grand with Jovian, but he refuses to linger on that last thought very long.

It's these thoughts so heavy in his mind that has him nervous as he steps into her little shop to meet her. He's in a crisp black shirt and tie, something fit for a more upscale muggle eatery than a wizarding one, and his wand is tucked in a strap around his calf. He pauses in the middle of the shop and tilts his head, not sure if he wants to call for her just yet. Instead he slowly begins to look about the shelves.

"Oh, so he has no idea who this mystery wizard is, then? Hmm.." and try as he might, he couldn't hide how terribly delighted it made him to be able to hold her hand. She said perhaps, if she didn't know better, that he had done this before and honestly it was only a half-truth.

He shrugged slightly, pad of his thumb rolling over her knuckles slowly.

"Mmm.. yes and no. I've charmed women before, I've never done it so slowly. I've never courted before," which was he decided he was doing, whether Ernie liked it or not.

He could've sat there and held her dainty hand in his own for ages had their food not arrived moments later. Reluctantly he let go of the small fingers he had curled his digits around and went about eating slowly, eyes watching her as he did.

Marcus did enjoy the meal greatly, and made sure to mention it several times. The rest of the date went flawlessly, in his opinion. The meal was excellent, even though it was muggle all the way, and her company left him in such high spirits by the end of the night that he was grinning like a fool when he dropped her off at the apothecary again.

He had almost, almost leant in to kiss her proper but something kept him from doing it. Instead, he had ended up letting his lips plant a soft kiss on her cheek instead and left it at that. How that satisfied him was beyond explanation, but over all.. the birthday date was insanely good. He would have to get a reading from Stephen as soon as possible to determine if he was going about things right.

It certainly felt right.

[Hope you don't mind me fading it there, I didn't want to keep you waiting for posts and figured it was a good place to fade it since I didn't want to him to do anything too insane just yet. Lemme know if you want to change this though, cos I can. <33 ]
