might as well be home -raychel/open-

Raychel raised a single eyebrow in surprise. A date night? They hadn't had one of those in... well, a while. She smiled and nodded in agreement. "A date night would be perfect." Once more Raychel subconciously rubbed her arm, smiling at Levi. She tried to remain enthusiastic for his sake, but it was difficult. Isabelle was on her 24/7, eying her like a hawk. Even her job was monitored. It was a miracle that Isabelle was not aware that her minion was a traitor. With a start, she realized what she called herself. Traitor. The word was rancid on her tongue.

Levi grinned, although it was hard to cover up his predominate emotion of sheer exhaustion. "What would you like to do, then?" asked Levi. "We could go to the cinema, or the- the- the- theatre." He was unable to prevent the yawn that had broken through at mid-sentence, but at least out of courtesy he had covered his mouth. He ran a hand through his hair. Energy potion. That was what he needed. Levi supposed that he would brew a fresh batch, the stuff he had on him was starting to lose its potency.

[broadway]

Raychel frowned at his yawn. The sudden breath of air had blown a familiar scent to her. Energy Potion's weren't difficult concoctions, but living off of them wasn't too healthy. Raychel reached towards Levi and wrapped an arm around him. She led him to one of the many couches that lay about the room. She sat him down and looked at him sternly. "You need rest first." She replied, placing her hands on her hips.

[imadecoy]

"I wasn't saying we had to tonight," said Levi, propping his feet up on the armrest of the couch. "I just wanted to know what you wanted to do," He closed his eyes lightly, but couldn't possibly fall asleep if Raychel were there. They so seldom had any time to spend together these days, it would seem cruel if he decided to sleep while they were both free for a while. It had been so long... He wasn't sure what Raychel's hours were, probably insanely long shifts like his own.

[broadway]

Raychel knelt next to him, sighing deeply. She sharp intake of breath, thought not needed, was worth it. It was one of the few stress relieving techniques that worked on her nowadays. It was a shock she could remain sane, what with all the disturbing, muddled thoughts running through her head. She took Levi's hand in hers and lightly traced patterns on his skin with her slender index finger. Her mind wandered to nothing, allowing all her thoughts to disappate into dark corners in her mind, ready to be opened at a later date.

Levi also allowed a peaceful sigh to pass his lips, now this was nice, just spending some quiet time together with his girlfriend, the only person in the world that inhabited his dominant thoughts; the only person that Levi wanted to spend his romantic interests on. His mind again flirted with the idea of marriage, but his conscience intervened before these thoughts got too carried away. Now is not the right time, it reminded him gently.

[broadway]

Raychel smiled at Levi gently, watching his eyes relax beneath closed eyelids. His life was painfully pleasant. Hers, on the other hand, was not. At least she wasn't plaqued by nightmares anymore. Those had just become life to her. She shuddered a bit at the thought, sighing deeply. It wasn't a needed action, but it still felt good. Raychel attempted to blissfully clear her mind, to no avail.

[imadecoy]

"Here, you can join me," said Levi, scooting over on the couch to make enough room for Raychel. Unless she was uncomfortable with it, he felt that it would be rather enjoyable to lie down with her on the couch. Nothing inappropriate, just cuddling. Levi didn't even bother to open his eyes, he was comfortable here, but was nowhere near being able to dose off just yet.

[broadway]

Raychel accepted, sliding next to him. Tucking her feet near Levi and burying herself into his warmth, she let out a contented sigh. Raychel brought his hands to her lips gently, careful not to crush his delicate fingers. For a moment, as she closed her eyes, it felt like her old life. Back when her only concern was whether she was doing well in school and looking presentable.

[imadecoy]

Levi too experienced the feelings of deja vu, the bliss of the times they had had together before Isabelle had decided to attack Raychel so severely. It was cruel. Now, when he grew old, he might be thought of as Raychel's father, maybe even her grandfather. It wasn't fair, but he knew that getting angry was redundant, there was nothing that could be done, unless... Levi shoved the thoughts from his mind immediately, he would never be able to persuade Raychel to consent to something of that magnitude.

[broadway]

Raychel momentarily felt Levi's pulse rise, then be slowed down almost instantaniously. He must've been thinking and cut himself off sharply. She smiled a bit. Good for him, he needed a break from his mind. She nestled her head in the grove of his neck. It was as if her head were made for this spot. Every contor of their bodies matching perfectly. Her head in his neck, his hand on her waist, their hands entertwined. She smiled a bit more broadly as her mind touched on their relationship. However, the moment marriage popped into her brain, she shut down with a start. Now was not the time for that.

[imadecoy]

"You're gorgeous," said Levi in a small tone, "have I ever told you that?" Words could not describe the feelings for her that he had, she was the first person that he had ever had this sort of love for, and Levi could not imagine those feelings in him for another person. Perhaps he was just lucky, having found the person he believed to be his soul mate so young, when most spent a good portion of their young adult lives finding that particular person.

[broadway]

"Maybe once or twice." Raychel replied with a small giggle. She nuzzled deeper into his body, breathing in his unique, sweet scent. He smelled of springtime, of daisies, of rain. It was the most beautiful smell in the world. Before she could get too carried away, she blocked out the smell. "And you are truly an amazing man. In every aspect." she replied in an equally soft tone, smiled broadly. Raychel felt as if her soulmate had fallen into her lap, as if he weren't real. It was a dream come true.

[imadecoy]

Levi chuckled lightly. Where had these times gone to? Well, first they had been ruined by Isabelle's malicious motives, and then with the both of them taking high-level positions fresh from sixth year, the time for these things had grown very fine. Although it was an immense amount of work, Levi loved his job, he had studied runes so hard for so long, learned so many other languages to be able to decode them into English...

[broadway]

Raychel too flicked back to the past events. Thinking far back into her human past was difficult. She remembered the important people, the important events. She remembered her family's business as actor managers, and she remembered the places she'd most loved. But only one person and their memories together shone through more than others. Leviticus Percival Weasley. She smiled inwardly to herself. What a beautiful, wonderful, flawless name. And an even more beautiful, wonderful, flawless companion.
