Psyke!
Tristan knew that it was a terrible idea to just show up unannounced, but -- well, he'd said he was going to go and visit Psyke, but he'd been waiting for her to invite him. Her brother going through his divorce was going to be hard on the bloke, and he didn't want to apparate into the middle of something awkwardly and say something wrong.

Being hated by the family that you were supposed to be (eventually, okay!) involved with was probably not in his best interests.

But. But! It had been months since Psyke had moved, and he didn't really do anything outside of practice quidditch and go home to sleep (Merlin, maybe he ought to get a cat or something...). That just made Psyke's absence even more obvious, and he'd had enough of it.

He huffed out a breath of air and glanced down at his watch. It was almost verging on late, and it had started to rain... this was a perfect mess, was what it was. He took a breath and lifted his hand up to knock on the door.

Hopefully Psyke was going to answer, or this was just going to be awful.

Psyke was feeling particularly lonely. Sure, Alex was with her like, almost all the time, but he wasn't very good company. He'd never been, and now that he was divorced and not getting laid (she had absolutely refused to let him bring women to her house until he settled himself mentally), he was a particular pain in the ass.

Which was why she forced him to sit with her as she went through her closet, trying to separate the clothes from the ones she was going to keep, and those that she was going to donate to the fashion school so they can work their magic with it.

"I don't care, I don't care," Alex moaned as she presented him with a dazzling silver dress. He dropped his head against the window of her bedroom, Lavender mimicking his actions from her spot on the window seat. "Oh. Your quidditch man's here."

Psyke dropped the pair of red faux-alligator skin shoes at his words.

"What?"

Alex jabbed toward the window and she ran over, nearly jamming her head straight through the glass to look down to the front porch and spotting---Tristan! "Oh my God! Take Lav Lav to Kostos'!!"

Psyke didn't wait for her brother's inevitable retort as she burst out of her bedroom and down the stairs. He was here! Oh, she'd missed him so much, there were only so many things that naughty letters would do (plus, her owl refused to take some of the longer rolls of parchment, that she'd sprayed with her favorite perfume). She threw the door open and let out a shriek that shook all the birds from the trees lining the street.

"TRISTAN!" Psyke didn't hesitate in jumping into his arms, her legs locking around his waist.

Well, that had gone much better than he'd been hoping it would. Her brother hadn't answered the door, and he already had armfuls of the woman that he had come to see. He leaned in to capture her lips slowly, unable to help if the kiss quickly escalated into something much more ... serious.

Oh, they were still outside, weren't they? He pulled back from the kiss with a slightly dazed smile.

"So you did miss me. I wasn't sure since you never actually -- invited me over and --" He smoothed his fingers through her hair and carefully set her down.

"Er, should we -- go inside, maybe? Is Lavender here?"

Her hands stayed around his neck to pull him close and back into the house, "I know, but Alex hasn't found a place and he hates hotels and he was just being dumb but----the house is empty."

Psyke could barely breathe. Well, right now it was because she hadn't taken a good breath because she'd been kissing Tristan, but just the excitement seeing him, touching him brought! Oh, she hadn't felt that in such a long time--"I'm sorry. But you're here now..."

They really shouldn't waste anymore time.

	This was really all going a lot faster than he'd been anticipating that it would. He was glad to be here with Psyke, though, and that was what mattered. ...and they were alone, which was also ... good. "It's okay!" He said hurriedly, giving her a pat on the hand. "Uh, I mean. Did you eat, or...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She pulled back and gave a sideways sort of grin. He was always so concerned. Psyke liked it. She liked the feeling of having someone constantly watching out for her, hoping for the best for her. It had been hard to accept, at first, because Psyke had been so sure that she was never going to find someone that would love her like this again, but there he was.

"I ate," she said with a nod. Psyke scrunched her face with a pleased smile and let the silence of the house fall. Her hands played with the hair at the base of his neck, "Are you hungry?"

"Good. No, I'm not hungry." He'd eaten before he'd come over, because he was fairly certain that if he hadn't then he'd have thrown up on her doorstep or something.

Now he had a different sort of hunger, but he didn't want to push Psyke for something. He knew things were strange, having her widowed and all...and he didn't want to go too far. Still. She seemed eager enough, so he gave her hand a small squeeze.

"I'm pretty tired, though."

Psyke blinked, her eyebrows going high. "Tristan Bardera."

She slunk closer to him, pressing her body against his. He had come at a bad time, hair-wise (it was thrown up in a very terrible, messy bun at the top of her head), but her pajamas were quite nice. A tight top with rather easy to remove bottoms...he was adorable when he was so chivalorous and concerned, but to be honest. She hadn't had sex since she'd left England, and now her very handsome, hot quidditch boyfriend was standing very close to her. And his hair was wet. How could he get any sexier?

"Did you come all the way over here to take a nap?"

	"Well, that wasn't what I intended. Er." He brought his hand to her hip and rubbed his thumb over the strip of skin he easily exposed when he moved the material of the tight top. In reality, he'd been trying to tell her that he wanted to go upstairs without being too forward about it. "I came over to see you, remember?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She smiled at his very good answer and kissed him soundly. Oh, it felt so, so good to finally be back with him. Psyke made a quick mental note to find Alex a house and get that boy back on track because he was definitely being a major blockage of many things in her life. Sure, she'd come out to Greece to help Alex adjust, but it was just as much for him as it was for her and Lavender. The first year of her daughter's life had been hard, but Lav was the happiest little girl she'd ever known, and Psyke was feeling better with life, and---everything that had been given to her she cherished.

"No more talking," she muttered into his mouth.
