The ball begins

Oct 30, 2007 14:46

Millicent twirled the fake tail of her cat costume around in a circle, waiting for Percy Weasley to step out of his private bathroom. She'd allowed him to pick his own costume, but made sure he would spend the entire evening occupied with various other Ministry personnel ( Read more... )

"Hey," Kevin said as he joined Mike. "You look like someone just ran over your puppy. What gives?"

Mike didn't look up as he was content staring at an empty glass on the table.

"Someone ran over my puppy," he answered deadpan.

Kevin resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Thought your girl would be here," he said, motioning with his glass. "Don't tell me she ran over your puppy."

He ignored the last comment, replying, "She was. Boot took her home." He sat forward and rested his elbows on the table, staring at the black tablecloth. "We broke up. Again."

"Bloody hell," Kevin said, taking a seat beside him. "Let me guess...the blond didn't cover up the redheaded temper? What'd you do this time?"

Mike shook his head in frustration. His brow furrowed as he spoke.

"I didn't do anything. Except a job I like." He was speaking in sentence fragments, which he typically did when he was defending himself. "She's bent on my new job. Thinks I'm gonna get aveda-ed. Like I don't train for a reason. Like I don't have any skill at all." He sighed, "Just pisses me off..."

raven_kevin December 3 2007, 18:23:34 UTC

"So you just got around to telling her about the job? Or let me guess, your lovely ex-roomie let it slip?" Kevin arched his brows, giving Mike a meaningful look. "That girl doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut does she?"

Mike finally looked up at Kevin with a glare. "Lisa still lives with me and it's not her fault. What's your problem with her? And who's side are you on here?"

raven_kevin December 3 2007, 18:43:58 UTC

"It's more of her problem with me," Kevin replied. "She's the one with the issues, not me. I'm cool with everyone. Besides, I thought she was moving out or something?"

He shrugged. "All I'm saying is with the history you and Susan have, putting everything out there to begin with should be what you do, you know?"

be_like_mike December 3 2007, 18:50:20 UTC

He made a face, pretending to not care. "No. She's been saying she's moving out since she got there. She'll never bloody leave." He paused, "Unless she said something to you."

He went on, not waiting for his answer, "And as far as Susan's concerned, she'll only be happy when I'm sitting behind a desk; home for dinner at five." He didn't really believe that, but making Susan look like the unrealistic one was the only thing saving his insanity right now.

"At least she's got a job though, yeah? Haven't really seen her though...she's at the Ministry now, yeah?" he said, glancing over at Lavender. "I'm sure she'll calm down about it, mate. It's a girl thing, I'm sure that they pitch fits about us putting ourselves in danger."

be_like_mike December 3 2007, 19:14:01 UTC

"She's not gonna calm down because I'm not changing professions. I'm not gonna live everyday wondering how many ulcers she's got worrying over my ass."

He made a random motion with his hand as if he was shooing away the topic. "Doesn't matter. I don't wanna talk about this anymore right now." He tried to sound interested in asking his question. "How's it going with... Lavender?" He had only momentarily forgotten her name.

raven_kevin December 3 2007, 21:55:42 UTC

Kevin allowed the subject to drop since he knew how hard Mike's breakups tended to be.

"It's going," he replied, taking a sip of his drink. "She's interesting enough and laughs at my jokes."

be_like_mike December 3 2007, 22:21:45 UTC

"Interesting enough?" Mike questioned with little enthusiasm. "Sounds about as exciting as Boot's love life."

raven_kevin December 3 2007, 22:26:57 UTC

"You mean to tell me Boot actually has one?"

be_like_mike December 3 2007, 22:32:48 UTC

He looked at Kevin, wondering, as he often did, if all parts of his brain were functioning at accurate speeds. "No. Not much of one. Hence the comparison."

"Though he and Lovegood started something up a few months back. Not sure much of anythings going on there though. We don't chat over tea and krimpets like we used to," he added sarcastically. He dropped his eyes. That came out harsh because he was pissed at himself. "Sorry. Sarcasm's unnecessary I suppose."
