Ron hadn't expected her home that early. He'd taken off an hour early from work to do some shopping. Unfortunately, it seemed every other bloke in West London had chose to do the same- making it difficult to get the things he needed AND get home and start dinner in time. So, after laying out preperations upstairs, Ron had quickly come to the kitchen- only to make a sodding mess of everything. When she arrived home, he was in full panic, the closing his eyes and waiting for it as he turned to greet her- only to be smacked in the head with his gift ( ... )

Hermione gaped at him. "Ronald!" She stepped back and looked him over, then the kitchen, realizing for the first time what a mess he'd made of the flat. She'd just cleaned it that weekend. She couldn't even mention the kitchen yet. One thing at a time, she told herself. Lingerie first, kitchen later. She almost threw the box down on the kitchen table in her rage, tugging off her coat and leaving to hang it up. Crookshanks had come to greet her near the door, and now his bushy orange tail was poking out from underneath the couch- there was no way he'd get in her line of fire.

"If you think it's perfectly appropriate to send somebody undergarments to their workplace, then I suppose it would be fine for me to send you a nice, bright red pair of knickers tomorrow, complete with suspenders and fishnet stockings? Oh, and I'll send flowers with them, too, get everyone's attention, so every employee at the Ministry can crowd around you as you open the box! How does that sound, Ron?"

Ron blinked, gaping then glaring. That's how it was going ot be?! Fine! He'd fire back. Following her, he undid the bloody apron and tossed it to the floor, shouting right back. "That's not even bloody comparable!!!!! First off, I thought you'd like something nice, and second- it's not my fault you opened it in front of bloody everyone!!! How was I supposed to know you'd show off your knickers to the whole, fecking department!" His eyes were on fire and he was glaring down at her.

He knew this was a horrible idea. He'd kill Harry for it later. His eyes darted to the furball under the couch as if daring the feline to try and get in the middle of all this. He'd been glaring at Ron all day as he tried to cook- fecking cat. "That's the last time I ever do anything to surprise you again, how's that!?"

"What did you expect people to do? Everyone always gathers around the person with the presents. You should remember as much, every time a Gryffindor got an owl package, you were right up there to see what they got!"

She moved to the apron and picked it up, setting it in the sink. Whatever it was that was on it, she didn't want it all over the floor. "Look, Ron, it's not that I don't appreciate the gift, but... honestly! At work?!" she looked around the kitchen. "And what did you do in here?!"
