It wasn't exactly unusual for Lavender to fall asleep on the floor of the living room, curled up in a little ball instead of on her bed. Just like it wasn't exactly unusual for Seamus to fall asleep on the couch above her. What wasn't characteristic of Lavender, though, was for her to be sleeping there in the middle of the day. She had gone home for a lunch break, and instead of going back, she had fallen asleep on the floor, peanut butter sandwich uneaten and mango-orange juice untouched in front of her, just above where her head rested on the floor.

It was getting to be about six o'clock, just about the time that Seamus usually got home, and Lavender normally went to an event of some sort, but she was still normally at work.

Instead, she slept, her once tense body clenched up into a little ball, seemingly relaxed as she twitched slightly in her sleep.

"You would! You so would! And you are, Seamus. I am so mad at you!" She did, however, grin at him. "I could beat you up, Seamus, I don't think you realize how tough I am."

It just makes him laugh all over again at the thought of her tiny frame trying to do any damage to his tough, thickly built Irish stature. "Really?" Seamus echoed, his eyebrows raising again. "That sounds like a threat, Lavender, I don't know if I'm comfortable with that."

Lavender shook her head, raising her fists and clenching them. "Really, Seamus. I don't think you realize this, but I really am a big deal. I'm willing to fight to the death!" She was grinning from ear to ear, waving her fists around as if getting ready for a fight.

She was adorable, Seamus thought before he could stop himself. They were just. friends. But that didn't mean he couldn't think, right? Even if those thoughts were best kept to himself. "Hey, better idea!" he said, reaching for her wrists to pull her fists down. "Let's talk about what's got you skipping work. Sleep last night, love?"

Lavender sighed heavily. "Ugh, I just couldn't sleep. It wasn't about anything, I just. I don't know." A shrug. Work was tough lately, she told herself, when really she'd been having war dreams all over again.

A frown appeared, tugging down at the edges of Seamus' mouth, without his notice. "Alright," he said slowly, letting it go. If Lavender didn't want to talk about it, it was none of his business. "You'll never sleep tonight, you know."

She snorted with mild humor. "What should I do about that, then, do you think?" Lavender asked, looking over at him with an amused little grin.

Seamus could think of a few things, prompting his frown to curl into a small smirk of his own. "You'll think of something, won't you, sunshine," he said with confidence.

Lavender grinned, biting down on her lower lip as she closed the distance between them, hands on his waist as she swayed around. "Hey Seamus let's go daaaancing."

"Merlin, Lav, you're always trying to make me into a pouf," Seamus laughed, his own hands holding her as well, naturally. "Dancing, buying your nasty orange juice, taking you to Yule Balls..."

"Hey, you asked me to the Yule Ball, just saying, so technically, was so totally you that suggested that poufy thought in the first place," she countered with a wide grin. "Besides, you always drink my orange juice, so."

"I don't know where you get these deluded ideas," Seamus said airily, nose in the air with a grin of his own. "I wouldn't touch your orange juice, and you totally wanted me to ask you to the Yule Ball anyway. I could tell." That's exactly why his voice shook the whole time. Totally.

"Oh yeah? Is that why you were so nervous when you asked me to go with you?" Lavender asked, scooting closer to him, her grin only growing.

"Hey you remember that time you went to the Yule Ball with me?" Seamus asked, as if this were a sudden and new twist to the conversation. "I was so nervous."

"Oh yeah?" Lavender asked. "I think I vaguely remember it. And I also think I vaguely remember you asking me a bunch of ridiculous questions," she told him, smiling wryly.

"There was nothing ridiculous about it," Seamus said with confidence, twirling her underneath an arm sillily. "Worked, didn't it?"

"Well, I guess," she said, grinning as she twirled for him. "I mean, I guess if you mean that you creeped me out to the point that I just had to be friends with you," Lavender teased.

"And Dean laughed at my plan," Seamus said, laughing as he pulled her in again. "Hey look, we're dancing."

Lavender laughed gently and let him pull her in. "Hey look at that. I guess we don't even need a club, do we?" she mused, swaying to an imaginary beat.
