We are never sad, 'cause we are not allowed to be

Their first date starts out awkward enough, the two having spent little actual time together, but Leonard is pleasantly surprised when Harry begins to talk medical to him. (It's perhaps some of the sexiest stuff he's ever heard) and their conversation seems to just flow after that.

Leonard stared at the flower in his hand. The soft, white coloured rose had its thorns cut off and its blossom wasn't quite at it's optimum beauty yet. He placed it in Harry's cup and closed the cupboard door. He had one more to place and then he had to leave for his early (3:00 a.m.) shift at the Hospital.

PLOT ADVANCEMENT~~~~~~(TIMECHANGE)

Harry blinked in surprise at the rose that sat elegantly in his cup. Back in Hogwarts it wasn't uncommon to find flowers or friendly plants sitting next to plates or in vases. But this wasn't Hogwarts, this was an apartment in San Francisco, right outside the Starfleet campus, where magic didn't happen (and hadn't happened for Harry since he was 16) and life was about taking care of the little girl sleeping in her room across the hall.

Picking up the white colored flower, he brought it to his nose to sniff and smiled slightly. The gentle scent was soothing, and while it wasn't his favorite flower (that place belonging to lilacs) he could appreciate what a rose stood for. Placing the rose down on the counter, Harry noticed a note sitting on the top plate. The simple little card held only an invitation for a date, tonight, signed by Leonard.

He could feel his face flush as he stared at the note. He knows that their attraction to one another is anything but subtle but he hadn't thought that it would go anywhere. People generally didn't like getting to know him after seeing what he was really like; a quiet, unassuming person, looking to be himself, not some savior or sex thing.

He'd have to see if Jamie wanted to babysit that night.

FINALLY!(TIMECHANGE)

Things get a little hot and heavy after their date. It had started out a bit awkward, both of them embarrassed and quiet, but after a glass of wine, they both began to relax and the conversation flowed freely. Their dinner was at a little Italian bistro and they shared their dinners with one another, both having expressed their wanting to try the others meal.

Now Harry is pushed into the wall of the hallway outside their apartment, mouths glued together, as Leonard searched his pockets for his keys. Harry, having enough of the fumbling, reached into the pocket of the leg that was pressed between his own and grabbed the keys, grinning into the kiss as he held them up.

They disentangled themselves just long enough to get into the apartment and lock the door before attaching again, this time Leonard nibbling at Harry's jaw. Harry moaned and his hands went up to run through Leonard's hair. They fumbled their way through the apartment, loosing different articles of clothing along the way. When they finally made it to Leonard's bedroom Leonard was in his jeans (unbuttoned and falling down as they were) and Harry was missing everything but his own boxers when the doorbell rang.

"Ignore it." Leonard muttered against Harry's chest where he began the process of making love bites.

"nhg…It might…Leonard!...be about…nyan…Joanna" Harry managed to get out between pants and moans. The door bell rang again causing Leonard to growl and push off of the bed.

"If it was about Jo, Jim would have called your communicator." He at nipped Harry's jaw but nevertheless Leonard walked out of the bedroom to answer the door. Harry, being curious, threw on Leonard's button up shirt as he passes it in the hall and slips it over his body (half the buttons stilling being buttoned).

As Leonard opened the door, Harry saw someone that he didn't think he'd ever see, or want to see, again. Her hair was cut short and held back by clips and a headband. Her clothes were modern and chic, a shorter dress, leggings, and boots. Her face was soft and her blue eyes looked relieved to see him.

"…Pansy…"

I am so, so, so very sorry about the wait. I have excuses and they are just so completely lame. I can't promise that things will change, because I'm working two jobs this summer to afford whichever college I'm planning on going to. I didn't get enough money from my top pick so I'm in the process of repeal and May 1st is coming right up. I have a "friend" who is mad at me because I haven't been staying for thespian meetings which are 15 min after school where I'd then have to stay 2 hours to catch the activity bus and it's just a bitch cause I don't drive and I have a shit ton of other things to worry about than thespian meetings…I'm graduating June 10th and just…things are getting hectic…._ and I live in the northeast where we have had so much fricking snow it's depressing…it's nice to see the grass again…

I want to let you all know that I love you so much. You guys are amazing and you make me want to write and I feel terrible about not writing. It took me two months to even concept this post, and about 40 minutes to write it….but you guys deserve it and so much more. You all get flowers from my first job~ We have awesome flowers at work. Love you guys~
