Gretchen fucking hated England. She hadn't felt this vehemently about the country when she was younger, but spending years with Trevor in Morocco and Egypt had left her with a severe distaste for the cold, wet bullshit of her current home. She couldn't exactly pick up and leave, though, she was fairly doomed to spend the rest of her life trailing after Trevor wherever he decided they should go next, like Keg had when he was younger.

She disliked that she couldn't wear something skimpy without having to either cover up, thereby defeating the purpose of said clothes, or constantly casting and recasting warming charms. She'd dressed up slightly, choosing a dark green dress that wasn't her usual style, so she'd foregone the cloak and was currently lounging against the wall outside Diamond, wishing Nat would hurry up so she could get inside and get warmer. She wondered if she should've urged the other woman to Apparate to the club or perhaps to outside the Troll's Head so she could have an escort, then wondered why she cared. Yeah, Nat was fun, but if she couldn't protect herself, that was her own bag. Then again, a hexed or murdered Quidditch player found outside Moribund's would likely draw very unwanted attention, especially given what Gretch was sure had happened to the Harpies' missing player.

Twirling her wand, she recast the warming charm, strengthening it and swallowing a curse at her inability to stand cold weather. She briefly debated moving towards the mouth of the Alley in the hopes that she'd run into Natalie on the way in, but didn't push off the wall. A new thought had occurred to her, that in some sort of crazy, random happenstance, Trevor had been moving to the pub as Natalie had been making her way down to Diamond and they'd run into each other. While nothing had changed with Trevor in the time since confessing her feelings, she also hadn't gone out with anyone but Tracey, who was more business associate than friend and who was straighter than something very straight. Given his reaction to Roger, she wasn't sure what he'd think of her going out with Nat and she tried to tell herself she didn't care.

She heaved a sigh and smoothed her dress, holding onto the side of the wall and raising her foot to adjust a strap on her heel as Natalie came round the corner and Gretch's lips curled into a small smile, despite herself.

	"Yeah," Natalie panted, taking in a deep breath and trying to will her body to calm down a little. "Quite alright. Fantastic. Brilliant even," she added breathlessly, giggling happily. She wrapped around Gretchen as soon as her hands were free and held on tightly as she pounced her with a firm kiss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Good!" Gretchen's declaration turned into a little giggle as Natalie grabbed her. It wasn't that she didn't have fun with Trevor, it was just different with him. Although he'd done loads of stupid stuff when he was drunk, she couldn't quite picture him snogging her and giggling. In fact, the mental image of that, set her off on a fresh round of laughter and she pressed her face against Nat's shoulder until she could calm herself.

	Natalie's giggles built up, fuelled by Gretchen's and she pressed her head against the other woman's, trying to hold it together. "What?" she managed inbetween giggles. "My kisses aren't that funny!" she insisted, even as she was laughing just as hard, and tickled Gretchen's side lightly for good measure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Gretch shook her head, helplessly, suddenly remembering why she didn't drink this mead. It made her giddy and giggly and Natalie's laughter wasn't helping her reign herself in. "It's not you," she tried to explain, inwardly shrugging and reaching out to snag the bottle and take another swig. She deserved a night to be silly and stupid, she hadn't done so in years and years.

"Sure!" Natalie laughed freely, having no desire to stifle her giddiness. It didn't hurt that she was utterly incapable of restraint either. "That's what you would say!" She wrapped her arms around Gretchen and held tightly, freeing one hand only to take the bottle when the redhead was done. She took a healthy swig before she handed the bottle back and lightly brushed Gretchen's hair out of her face, letting her finger tips trail over her cheek.

"I'd say it because it's the truth!" Gretchen couldn't remember the last time she'd laughed like this, even though the logical part of her was piping up that there was nothing that was even funny about the situation. Taking the bottle back from the other woman, Gretchen's giggles trailed off at Natalie's touch. She took a long sip from the bottle, noting that they were nearing the end, before setting it back and rolling onto her back, tugging Nat with her.

	Natalie reached for the bottle as Gretchen set it down but missed it when she was tugged away. She rolled with Gretchen, arm staying outstretched for a moment, and laughed warmly again, amused at her sudden move. She settled on top of Gretch and stooped to her neck, trailing kisses up and down the curve of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Humming lightly, Gretchen arched her back and leaned her head to the side, giving Nat free reign. She stretched back against the pillows, raising one hand to tangle loosely through the woman's long hair. "It's good," she made a little happy noise and wound her other arm around Natalie's waist. "Being me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Natalie pressed close to the other woman, sliding her body against hers as she lavished attention on her neck and switched to do the same on the other side. She chuckled slightly at her comment, as best as she could chuckle while still sucking on her neck. "Oh," she squeaked, pushing her up abruptly and looked at Gretchen with an eager expression. "Waffles!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The other woman's exclamation took Gretchen by surprise and she dropped back onto the pillows, her eyebrow arched. "Waffles?" She asked, after a moment, wondering what Nat was on about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Waffles!" She repeated, excitedly, loving her brilliant idea even more. "They sound bloody brilliant, don't they?" She stretched out against Gretchen and ran her fingers through her short hair. "Warm, buttery waffles..." She waggled her eyebrows as she moved her face next to Gretchen's, pressing her nose lightly against hers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gretchen actually laughed, arching up against Natalie and pressing a solid kiss to her lips. "They do, actually." She admitted, pushing herself up onto her elbows and glancing around the room. "I wonder if they'd do us some waffles." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rookie_card 2010-12-15 05:53 am UTC (link)
	"I can make a rather good batch of waffles," she pointed out, rolling off Gretchen to sit beside her, legs still draped over hers. "We can go back to my place, make waffles, find other ways to pass the rest of the night," she trailed off but waggled her eyebrows again, lightly tickling Gretchen's side.

	Dropping back onto the pillows, Gretchen dropped one hand onto Nat's leg, tickling it absently, tucking the other under her head. "Oh, do you?" she asked, flashing a wicked smile up at Natalie. "I don't often have people make breakfast for me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Which is just a shame," Natalie laughed, squirming at the tickling. She fell down on the pillows beside Gretchen, stretching out on her side and propped herself up with one arm, looking down at the other woman. "I can not only make waffles but sausage, bacon and I'm rather handy with a tomato. C'mon," she jerked her head toward the door but made no immediate attempt to stand. "I am more than happy to make breakfast for you."
