Who: Drea and Tony
What: Post-game snuggles and chatter
When: After the July 27th Arrows match
Where: Tony's Place

It always felt difficult for Andrea to unwind after a Quidditch match, even more so when the game was fast paced and exciting. It was her sixth snitch catch of the year, which felt bloody amazing. She thought back to where she was as a person only a year ago and it seemed so far away. Instead of binge parties and staying up until all hours, Drea was practicing and conditioning and “conditioning” with Tony. The last bit was probably a bit of her party girl peeking through, but that didn’t change the fact that she really enjoyed spending time with him in general, and with Cho. He was such a good father, and his daughter was so sweet natured and playful. It brought a smile to her face just thinking about it all.

Her mind was definitely going over all these things as she sat in the darkened living room of Tony’s flat, wanting to curl up and sleep in the soft light of an end table lamp as she attempted to relax. Because at the end of the day, Drea wasn’t sure where her feelings were stemming from; on the one hand, she was a notoriously playful flirt and it could be some of that (if you could call them relationships). Things felt tangible, and consistent, and comfortable with Tony. And Drea very much liked that and yearned for that in her life, until she remembered that as far as the public was concerned, Drea was still single and flirting with unknown hunks in the shadows of Hogsmeade alleys. She recognized the gravity of the situation and why they had to hide things, but it didn’t make things any easier to handle when all she wanted to do was share with her friends and family that she was dating someone and she was happy and felt like things were going so well in her life.

She heard the soft padding of socked feet on the wooden floors, approaching the living room. She shot a glance over the back of the couch, smiling at the sight of Tony, coming back from Cho’s room where he’d been trying to coax the young girl to sleep. She scooted over from her original sprawling location to give him room to sit next to her if he’d like. “How is she?” she asked softly, pulling her hair back into a loose, low ponytail to keep it out of the way for the moment.

Drea laughed, imagining the look on Cho's face as she no doubt tried to convince Tony of the importance of hair ribbons at such a late hour. She let herself settle into his arms as he wrapped one around her, her head resting in the crook of his shoulder...at least, until he mentioned the ribbons being on the table for tomorrow. She pulled her head up just in time to catch the huge grin on his face.

"I'd probably pay money to see that, your hair all in ribbons. I suppose I could sacrifice my own hair for such a sight," she replied, a cheshire grin of her own spreading across her face.

"Does this mean I should be here bright and early, ready for my salon appointment with Madame Cho?" Drea asked, one arm snaked between his back and the sofa, the other hand's fingers moving lazily across his chest and abdominal.

His grin mimicked hers and Tony's free arm found itself curling around Drea's waist. They never wasted any time when it came to snogging as his Cho-Free time was quite limited. So was their Work-Free time, and their Practice-Free time, and let's not forget their Training-Free time! Tony did find himself frustrated with their schedules, but that frustration always melted away the moment he and Andrea found their moments of peace.

"If you don't mind waking up at the crack of dawn, I think I've got some room in my bed you could share. If you want. Of course." He kissed her cheek, her chin, and then bit her neck lightly.

He didn't mind that Cho knew he had a girlfriend, as she had dubbed Andrea that from the first time they'd met, but the questions that arose when said girlfriend was having sleepovers...well, Tony wasn't ready for that, and he surely wasn't ready for his little ball of perfect sunshine to tell his mother that a woman was spending the nights.

No, no, as long as Andrea didn't mind waking up with him in order to be up and at it before Cho was, he'd be fine. Or until Cho turned eighteen, because then who could he kid?

Drea found herself subconsciously dipping her head back as his kisses made a southbound journey. She let out a small hum of approval at his actions, before tilting her head down once more to look him square in the eyes. "Waking up fairly early sounds manageable," she replied slowly. She was on an early morning routine as it was, with training and practices, so even though it was one of her off mornings, the trade off was worth it. She enjoyed sleeping over with Tony, waking up next to him (and other things that such occasions brought).

She repositioned herself so that she was sitting with her legs crossed beneath her, taking a moment to build up some courage while her left hand stayed busy smoothing out her jumper. "Do you ever wish we could be more open about things? Publicly, I mean." she asked softly, finally feeling bold enough to look him in the eye.

Their playful conversation sharply turned into a serious one and Tony had to let his body catch up to his mind. He straightened and ran a hand through his hair. He didn't seem confused, because he knew what he meant, but there was a cautionary expression on his features.

"Yeah, of course---I want to yell at all the blokes that say you're the hottest seeker in the league." Tony pulled a face, remembering the one time he'd 'accidentally' tripped a guy after he'd commented about Drea's 'assets.' "It's just..could we?"

There weren't many sports in the wizarding community that could actually use Tony's skills. Besides being a personal trainer for a lot of the players in the quidditch league, he led workout sessions that many of the teams found helpful to their fitness regiments. It had always been clear that if he wanted to maintain this relationship with the quidditch league, it had to be strictly business, but---he really fancied Andrea.

Like, really really fancied her. His heart hadn't thudded against his chest like it did when he was with her even after the hardest of his workouts. So...it was worth the risk, right?

He shimmied into the cushions of the couch, unable to see what could be done to make sure that they both didn't receive punishments for something that would most likely be deemed as inappropriate.

"I wouldn't want to stop training with the Arrows, I think Troy and Mullet would have my head."

There was a brief moment where Drea's fame monster bristled a little bit. Blokes commenting on her attractiveness was nothing to shirk at, but it wasn't the focus. And the fact that Tony was so fiercely supportive and protective of her was sweet.

She brought her hand up to her mouth, tempted to bite at her fingernails as she thought, but managed to keep the urge at bay. Instead she bit her lower lip as she watched his movements carefully. "I wouldn't want you to have to stop, either. But if there were a way to keep training with anyone from the team, but not actually be affiliated with the Arrows..." Drea let out a slow sigh. Even if there was a chance, she'd have to talk to Thomas about it and then potentially administration. There were already so many hoops to jump through and they hadn't even decided if they wanted to go through all of that or not!

"I suppose...I mean, if it were an option, would it be something you'd want to pursue?" she asked softly, looking him carefully in the eyes.
