!2003: 10, !incomplete, natalie mcdonald, roman watkins

Characters: Natalie McDonald and Roman Watkins, Open
Setting: Thursday evening at the Vault
Summary: BFF bonding time!
Rating/Disclaimer: G-PG or Awesome. Take your pick.

"Merlin," Natalie groaned after entering the cozy calm of the Vault, always a haven from the hustle and bustle of Diagon Alley. She was tired and sore and at this point in the day she felt it was mostly for good reasons. The hangover had finally faded completely a few hours prior. Going out to the clubs always ended with her drinking too much, too fast and she spent the day like most of her other post club days, telling herself she had a lesson she had to learn there.

Nat waved to a few of the regulars, smiling warmly at them. They gave her the same stunned wave they usually did and quickly went back to their hushed debate. "Roman," she called out as she dropped her things behind the counter and pulled a bottle of water from her bag before she hopped up on the counter and picked up a comic laying there, unloved. Dancing, sex, a rewarding yet exhausting practice session...it was nice to take a few moments in her comfy workout clothes to sit in the quiet.

His eyes narrowed when she made her remark about him sitting around and brooding, and then figured almost instantly that the look made him look even broodier. "I'm don't really brood." He said, the words sounding lame to his own ears. "Bruce Wayne broods. I sit and think."

Roman kind of didn't blame Nat's captain. Afterall, reaction times and shit. He was just wise enough to not say this. "Does this mean you're in the need of sci-fi cheering up tonight?"

"Yeah, sorry," Natalie rolled her eyes in the most blatant way she could. "You never brood. How could I make that mistake?"

The offer of cheering up in a sci fi manner brought out an eager grin and she clapped her hands together. "I certainly wouldn't say no," she said, trying to play cool and not at all excited in the most nerdy of ways. "I could make time for that. Maybe."

	"Well, I don't! At least not nearly as much as you assume I do." He defended. "Ever think that you're just so epically hyperactive that people just seem broody in comparison?" This was the absolutely perfect place to act like a crazy nerdy fangirl. "So is that a yes or a maybe then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Or maybe you just brood so much you only think my cheerful nature is 'epically hyperactive' what about that?" She countered, making use of air quotes and all. "You know that's a yes." Natalie laughed, flipping her comic back open. "When have I ever said no to that offer?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't air quote." He warned. "And you are vicious hyperactive. Why do you think I hide all the bloody sugar?" He said in a tone that said the discussion was closed, and he'd won. "Point." He said grabbing the drink he had stashed behind the counter. "Since you had the oh-so gruelling practice with a sadistic captain... what do you want to watch?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Is that what happened to my jaffa cakes?" Natalie gasped, throwing her bottle at her mate. "You so owe me!"

Forgetting all about kidnapped sweets and Natalie bounced once with excitement. She don't know why Roman even needed to ask but to clarify for him she held up her arms, holding them in close, and twisted her head back and forth a few times before she gave her best velociraptor roar.

Roman lifted a leg and put out an arm but was too late. The bottle hit him in the shoulder, and he put out a pitiful sort of "ow."

Which was completely and utterly forgotten.

Alright so he couldn't help that he started smiling and laughing loudly at his friend, and a couple of his customers looked in their direction. "Jurassic Park it is. Just not the third one."

	Natalie clapped again and pulled her wand out to summon her water bottle back to her. "Ugh, aye." When it came to Jurassic Park films she was content to just watch the original three times over and skip the sequels. "But you have to do the impressions with me this time."

	Roman looked for a moment like he was going to shake his head and say, 'hell no.' Instead he kicked his feet up on the counter next to her, and if such a motion could embody cheeky it would have at that moment. She looked excited with the clap and all. "Just this once." He warned.

Throwing her arms up in a victory gesture. "Raptor Roman!" She crowed, laughing giddily at the mental image of her best mate trying to impersonate a hungry dilophosaurus.

Natalie leaned forward on the counter, folding her arms across the top of his legs and held in another laugh. "Hey," she said in a stage whisper, shifting her eyes excitedly. "You know you want to have a practice. Go on...you know you want to." Closing time wasn't going to get there soon enough.
