If there was one thing that would truly make his day complete, this would be it.
Draco stood in the kitchen, apron tied firmly on, peeking into the oven window to check the delicious brownies he'd prepared for his very best friend in the entire world.
Universe, even.
The sun was beginning to set, and his cheeks had ached since noon from all the smiling, but he certainly couldn't complain. If his muscles were unaccustomed to the simple act of showing his pleasure, he would just have to retrain them.
"They're almost ready," he said, looking up at her with his eyes bright, and there might have even been a flush of color in his cheeks.
This was a good day.

"You promise they'll be absolutely scrumptious?" she prompted, coiled tight with a certain brand of pompous satisfaction that Lyra shamelessly passed off as colluding excitement.

They weren't doing anything horrible, were they? Just baking brownies together. "What shall we do after the brownies are done?"

She grinned and rolled one shoulder, and said, "Oooh, get the other shoulder too, it's all stiff there. Like someone took a big bundle of knots and shoved it right under the skin."

Date: 2009-05-22 01:20 am (UTC)It was a good massage, serving to loosen her muscles considerably. Only when her mind set its usual course for Will Parry and what he might be doing back in his Oxford right that instant did she frown, rolling her shoulders in an attempt to buck Draco off. "Okay, that's good," she managed as casually as possible, loath to let a sour mood over come her mischievous one.
