Pyxis had felt lonely since she and Luka had broken up. It wasn't long after they'd both been in training that they decided the distance and time apart was too much for them. Not that they'd ended on bad terms or anything like that. They still loved each other. They just weren't right for each other at that time.

But now, she was lonely. And alone. She'd graduated from her training a week before and now she was at a pub in Diagon Alley, drinking away her boredom. Which didn't seem to be working so well. She ran a hand through her hair, looking down at her pint.

Walden hadn't expected to run into Pyxis in Diagon Alley. He'd come to the pub with some friends from the Ministry. He spent the first half hour trying not to look at her, as his friends got drunk, but she looked lonely and he'd been out with them plenty of times.

He tapped his fingers on the table, looking at her again, and then excused himself to walk over. Walden squashed the feelings in his chest down. They were inapropriate. Last he'd heard from Rider, Pyxis and Luka were still dating. "Hey," he said, giving her a friendly smile and taking a seat. "I haven't seen you in a long time." Maybe they could be friends.

	The voice was familiar. Pyxis turned her head and smiled at Walden. He wasn't an unpleasant surprise to her. And he looked so good. Sophisticated. She almost wanted to make a pleased noise in her throat. But, she couldn't. She just felt upset. "Hey." She nodded and turned on the stool towards him. "It had been a while. What are you doing here?"

	"Bonding, supposedly." Walden gestured back to the table where his friends were getting drunk. He laughed. "We all work together at the Ministry. The department goes out for drinks when we get off." She hadn't told him to bugger off for being a jerk to her the last time they'd seen each other. That was good. "What about you?" he asked. "What are you doing here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just got off work and figured I'd have a drink of my own." Pyxis lifted her pint to show the one she was working on. "Only, this is my second and not my first. I should have gone with one pint." She let out a bitter laugh. "It's good that you have friends. Sometimes Potter invites us all out for drinks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Walden didn't like the bitterness. He gave Pyxis a concerned look. "Are you okay?" he asked. "You seem... I don't know. Are you okay?" He glanced at his friends again, then settled down beside her more firmly and ordered himself a drink. "I'm happy to keep you company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. I'm fine." Pyxis told Walden and looked him over. "Except I realised today that the only friend I have is Rider and he's tied down with taking care of twins and his pregnant wife." She shrugged. "Other than that, I'm alone. I need a cat or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can be friends," Walden told Pyxis. "I know I made it so things... didn't end well between us, but I'd like it if we could come up with a way to be in each other's lives again." He smiled at her. "If nothing else, my cat just had kittens. You could have one if you wanted. I'd know it was going to a good home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis laughed at that and looked Walden over. "You have a cat? That is so cute. What's it's name?" She rested her chin in her hand, leaning against the bar. She looked him over. "Being friends with you will be hard. Because I'm just sitting here thinking about kissing you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Valentine," Walden said, smiling at her. "She's got a little heart-shaped spot on her nose. I got her because my flat felt sort of lonely. Radley comes around a lot, but it's not really the same as sharing with someone, you know?"

He hesitated for a moment when she mentioned kissing him, then gave her a soft smile. "I'm thinking about kissing you too," he confessed. "Do you see Thoreau ever?"

	Pyxis had missed how gentle Walden was with her. And how he smiled at her. How his lips touched hers and how they felt. She looked up at him as he loosened his tie, then pulled off the shirt she was wearing. She grabbed onto his trousers and pulled him back down, finishing off his tie herself. "I need you." She whispered, biting his lip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"God." Pyxis whispered, a tingle running up her spine. She closed her eyes and reached down to run her fingers gently through his hair. It had been too long. She brought his head up to kiss him again, reaching down to unfasten his trousers. "I've missed the way you feel." She told him quietly. "So much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis whimpered at the mere thought of him going down on her. And this his mouth was moving lower, her breaths coming fast as she arched against his mouth. And then his tongue was pressing against her and making her squirm beneath him. He was so good at that. Luka didn't spend much time down there. This was a definite improvement. "Oh god, Walden."

	Walden looked up at Pyxis and laughed. "We could go again if you want to," he said, his hands moving up her thighs. "I won't take much convincing." He rubbed their hips together again. Walden pulled Pyxis down into another kiss, humming against her lips. "This is much more fun than sleeping anyway." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"I remember a time when it was like pulling nails trying to get a shag from you." Pyxis told him with a grin as she looked down at him. She kissed at his chest and slowly moved down his body, kissing at his stomach. After a moment, Pyxis moved back and lay down beside him. "I think... we should order food first. I didn't eat dinner."

	"I miss wearing your shirts." Pyxis smiled at Walden as she held onto him in his arms. She kissed him softly, then slipped out of his grasp, picking up his shirt to put it on and then looked back at him. "What are you going to cook for me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm not sure. I could make mushroom and tofu wraps," Walden offered, smiling at Pyxis and then leaning in for a kiss. He hummed against her lips softly. "Even your lips are perfect." Walden picked Pyxis up, carrying her into the kitchen and putting her down on the counter as he looked through his fridge. "I'm still a vegetarian, so I can't offer you any meat."

	pyxis 2012-06-23 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	"I stopped eating meat a year ago." Pyxis told him and watched him in the refrigerator. "I read some things about it that said it can give you illnesses. I'd like to stay around for a bit." She kicked her feet a bit. "Your house is comfy. I like it more than I like my own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not much, but it's home. I like it better than Macnair Castle," Walden told Pyxis, smiling at her. "I don't know anything about diseases. I just don't like eating animals." He pulled stuff out of the fridge to make dinner, then kissed her again. "What's your house like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pyxis hummed softly as she thought about her house. "Well. My living room walls are a teal colour. And they're covered in bookshelves. I have this huge, over-stuffed couch that I usually end up falling asleep on. I have some art work and things like that." She shrugged. "My bathroom looks like an aquarium. I like to pretend I'm a mermaid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
