Aaron's Flat

[Holly Palmers]

*shakes her head*

No that works. And remind me to show you that spell another time.

*throws the towel aside kneels down beside the trunk, immediately pulling out a complete set of dishes in bright green and pink colours*

Nice, right? Just don't want these to get broken so I'll take them into the kitchen now.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*laughs at the green and pink dishes*

No arguments, questions, or comments. Just don't make me eat off the pink ones.

*hauls a bunch of clothes halfway into the hallway and then stops*

What the hell am I doing?

*flicks his wand, sending all of Holly's clothes to the proper place, folded neatly and organized*

*walks back over and looks through her stuff*

I'm trying to help, I really am, but I don't know where you want all of this stuff, well, most of it. We certainly are going to have a lot of repeats in this house aren't we? Unless you would prefer we had separate soap, towels, dishes, and, er, everything else possible?

*collapses on the couch, and watches Holly work*

I've only been sitting here for two seconds and I feel lazy.

*stands up again*

What do you want me to do?

[Holly Palmers]

*shakes her head back at him, and returns from the kitchen*

Oh hey, it doesn't hurt to use your hands sometimes. I used to keep my wand tucked away for hours back at home. Once, I cleaned by entire room by hand.

*smiles anyway*

Don't worry, I'll get most of it. And I guess the repeats aren't too bad, I mean, if you don't fancy the pink dishes you aren't going to be too keen about my lime green towels.

*laughs at his work effort*

Why don't you make some lemonade or something. By hand. I dare you.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*runs into the kitchen in a ridiculously determined manner*

I am. And guess what? Muggles, you know them? They have this crazy thing called....

*he yanks a little stout yellow bottle out of the cabinet dramatically*

INSTANT.

*dumps a handful into a pitcher and adds water*

*stirs it by hand (!) while staring ar her unblinkingly for effect*

*laughs at himself*

[Holly Palmers]

*laughs hysterically at his attempts, folding her old Slytherin shirts into a pile*

*raises an eyebrow at his instant lemonade, wondering whether to give or take away points*

*watches him stir by hand, pulling out a jewelry box and placing it on the mantel for now*

This is too easy for you. You have to do the dishes sans magic as well. I will see you crack.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*narrows his eyes playfully in "anger"*

We have to drink all the lemonade before I do the dishes, but you can watch me do it when I do.

*smirks, happy with himself*

This is sooooo weeeeiiiiirddddd. I feel like I just dragged you into a candy shop and wooed you by buying you candy and being polite.

*buries his head in his hands, laughing and marveling at how fast times gone*

[Holly Palmers]

*shrugs, pulling out more stuff--she did have a lot of stuff*

What can I say, you found my greatest weakness: Jelly Slugs. And I guess manners. Hmm.

*digs around, checking that she's gotten everything out and closes the lid*

*whips out her wand and spins it in her hands to mock him playfully*

*flicks it at her trunk, which jumps a bit*

It's bad to leave it all big inside with nothing in it. Some weird stuff takes up home.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*blatantly ignores her wand playfully*

Guess so. Okay.

*bounds over enthusiastically and tackles Holly to the ground as gentlely as he could*

*lays on top of her on the ground*

I'm so happy you live with me.

[Holly Palmers]

I can see that!

*pulls all the hair out of her face*

Yea, well another step towards growing up I guess. Hmm?

*notices his lovely moppy hair and moves down to his bright eyes that always did that sparkly things around her. It made her feel special, like she alone held the power to a different kind of magic*

Good sir Tayllore, you are truly something.

[Aaron Tayllore]

*is very comfortable*

Well lady Holly I'd have to say you're pretty special yourself. **

*sighs dramatically*

So what should we do now? Something extremely romantic, says my conscience, but I'm a little high and dry at the moment. Any ideas?

[Holly Palmers]

*attacks his face with kisses for a whole minute*

I was just thinking th---

*stops mid-sentence, flinching, her eyes growing wide with understanding*

Aaron, I have to go.

*pulls herself from under him and grabs her wand, lying a bit off to the side. Stashes it and looks at him, with an expression a lot less apologetic than she was going for*

I have to go.

*disapparates*

[Aaron Tayllore]

*disappointment*

*washes dishes by hand just to be funny*

*goes and sleeps for sixteen solid hours*

[Christopher Andrews]

Dear Aaron,
Want to come to my place for dinner some time next week? That is, bring Holly along. I've met a girl named Aurora I'd like to introduce you too. Bring drinks. You can never have enough.
Chris

[Holly Palmers]

*comes homes with a bag of roast beef sandwiches to make up for being away for a while*

Aaron?

*shuts the door behind her, noticing it's way more clean than usual*

[Aaron Tayllore]

*comes out of the bedroom wearing a t-shrit and boxers, barely awake*

Holly? *sees her standing there*

Hey! What've you been up to?
