Remus knocked on Tonks's bedroom door, carrying a dozen pink roses and a good five pounds of Belgian chocolate.
"Yes?" came Tonks's muffled voice through the door.
"It's Remus."
"C'mon in, Wolfie."
Remus opened the door and stepped into Tonks's room. Uncharted waters. The dangerous current. Please excuse the naval terms.
"Remus! Are those for me?" Tonks bubbled as she took the roses from him.
"Yes, and this too."
"Brilliant!"
"So, Tonks, I was wondering if I…" Remus said, as Tonks was saying, "I want to tell you something…"
They chuckled.
"You first," Remus offered.
"You first," Tonks countered.
"Okay. I was just wondering if you would like to see a movie or something. With me. As a date."
"I took you long enough," Tonks took his hand, "I'd love to go. With you. As a date."
"Tomorrow?"
Tonks's face fell, "I have duty that night," she smiled shyly, "But I wouldn't mind doing someone, I mean something, afterwards."
Remus felt his pulse quicken, "I'd love to do something. Something late night and with chocolate."
"Cheers. I'll meet you here afterwards."
"Sure."
"And indecently, Remus. When was the last time you asked someone out?"
"A while ago."
"You haven't lost your touch."
