by the time the bar closes (rose) // august 2023

[Seth Wishart]

Seth visibly relaxed when she said it had been good - of course, she could have been just saying that, but she'd certainly seemed to be enjoying it, and she didn't sound like she was just being nice...

"Really?" he asked her softly, although he was smiling as he kissed her back, urgency now turned to tenderness, "Because I thought it was kind of amazing myself..." He kissed her again, stroking her waist gently and revelling in the feeling of closeness and intimacy, as if they were caught in their own personal bubble. A bubble that was burst by the sound of his friends - or some of them anyway - returning in whatever drunken state they were in. Still, he wasn't the first member of the company to bring someone home, and the rest were generally very accommodating and respectful when someone was using one of the double beds, so they wouldn't deliberately interrupt. On the other hand...

"They won't come in unless they forget..." he murmured to her, "But just in case... You haven't got your wand on you to lock the door, have you?" his eyes fell on her naked form as he realised what he'd said and grinned, "Well, when I say on you, I mean handier than mine..." His was stuffed at the bottom of the bag he'd brought with him, because convenient though magic was, using it when living in a house with a dozen Muggles was too risky.

[Rose Weasley]

Rose's hands tightened on his back, drawing him even closer as he kissed her in return. This time, this place, this moment... it all felt a little bit like a taste of perfection, and she wasn't sure if they'd been stupid to stop themselves from this all that time, or if it had been the waiting and the uncertainty and the shyness that made it all the sweeter now. "Really really," she confirmed, smiling as she silently concurred with his use of the word 'amazing'.

"Your friends are nice, but I wouldn't want them seeing me stark naked," Rose said impishly as he grinned, and she leant away from him and off of the edge of the bed to fumble in the pockets of her now-discarded clothing. Locating her wand, she aimed it at the door and muttered, "Colloportus!"

She rolled back towards him, slipping her arms around him once more.

sorry it's taken so long and sorry it's dreadful xxxx

[Seth Wishart]

"No, I wouldn't want them seeing you naked either," Seth laughed quietly, unable to stop grinning, "Or me," he added, as it struck him that he had no more clothes than she did, and while his friends had seen him in various states of undress, completely naked was probably a step further than they'd ever been.

"That's better," he murmured as she rolled back to him, resting one arm over the top of her, his hand on her back, and leaning down to kiss her again gently, "Now we have all night with no interruptions... Though they might be a bit confused if they try the door," he added, his eyes dancing, "Because I don't think we have any keys for the locks... We'll just have to tell them it was magic..."

-------------------

ooc - Don't worry, I've taken much longer, I'm so sorry! And sorry it's so short too - I sort of felt like this thread was coming to an end really? Should we leave it about there? I'd like to do something more up to date with them at some point if you're up for it!

[Rose Weasley]

OOC-- yes, me too! shall we leave that as a nice place to finish? i'm not sure i can top that as a line to end on... i can try if you'd prefer though!
