008 Roaches check in, but they don't check out.

I'm well excited for qudditch, it's hard not to be when your captain is Tony Stark, who is amazing by the way! We've got such a great team, it's going to be brilliant!

I'm thinking of getting a new broom, any suggestions?


[Filtered Privately to Sherlock]

I want to apologize for what happened.

[speterman]

[he grins a grin that reaches his eyes before bumping his head against hers, keeping it resting against hers as he wraps an arm around her.]

I can't argue with that. Well, maybe.

[And to prove his point he shifts to place a chaste kiss to her lips. He then pulls back and brushes some of her hair behind her ear.]

That and seeing that beautiful face of yours.

[He moves back to cuddling her]

What kind of broom are you looking at?

[sugaredpotions]

[She smiles brightly, glad to see him smiling like that again, and sighs happily at that kiss.]

So long as I can add kissing you. Oh, and seeing you smile again has to be on the list. It's a good look on you.

[Bonni giggles, then flips the catalog open.]

Mum said to keep the price reasonable, but I'm still hoping I can talk her into either a Nimbus or a Cleansweep. She's partial to Comets, but they're just not as fast as the others. Might do if you're playing Keeper, maybe, but only then.

[speterman]

[He stares at her for a long couple minutes instead of the catalog, a soft smile still on his lips, listening to her talk.]

Yeah, I can imagine. Tell them I'll help pay for it too. I mean, my aunt is in charge of what I get to spend and stuff, but. Uh, I mean. I'm sure, if, well, you know, I told her, it was for you, uh. She wouldn't, mind.

[He drops his gaze to the catalog nervously.]

I mean, I told her, when, well, I mean, she asks about every time if I've met someone, and.. Well.

[sugaredpotions]

I - wait, wait. That is so unbelievably sweet of you, Peter. It really is. But it means a lot for my mum to do this for me, okay? I appreciate it, though.

[She smiles, taking his hand and giving it a squeeze.]

Also, hold on, I almost forgot, Mum put in a letter for you with the other stuff. Don't worry, she said don't be afraid. And to tell you she's looking forward to meeting you sometime.

[Bonnie pulls out an envelope from the back of the catalog, handing the letter over.]

[speterman]

Of course.

[Peter gives her a look that says "nope, sure am scared" as he takes the letter. His eyes flicker between it and her, before he gives a nervous smile.]

Um. Okay. Not afraid. Totally, not, afraid.

[He opens it, brown eyes immediately dancing over the words. His nervous smile turns to one more sincere before immediately disappearing, into a more weary look; his eyebrows pull down slightly and his lips press into a small frown. The frown disappears near the end of the letter, but he still looks uneasy as he looks back at her.]

She seems very nice. You didn't, uh, tell her, um, the stupid thing I first said to you... did you because, I won't be able to show my face round there if you did.

[He sets it in his lap before he brushes a couple stray strands of her hair back behind her ear that got loose, taps a finger under her chin and guides her up for another short kiss. He uses his other arm to pull her closer.]

Have I reminded you recently that I think you're beautiful and utterly fantastic?

[sugaredpotions]

[She's watching his expression the entire time. That weary look? It's one she's seen her mother wear a thousand times. Arie. But she manages a smile at the end, even if it's a bit nervous.]

There are some things a girl doesn't mention to her mum. That? One of them.

[She starts to say something else, but that is pretty perfect timing for a kiss. Bonni relaxes, that little bit of nervousness fading.]

...only every chance you get. Have I told you how absolutely wonderful you are? Handsome devil, too.

[speterman]

Good because it was totally lame of me. I'm surprised you still wanted to talk to me after it.

[He grins nervously before shrugging.]

I don't think I say it enough. I think I should say it more often.
