I swear, I'll stop obsessing over Taylor Swift now. Have some 'Fearless' lyrics.

"I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now, but you're just so cool." "Run your hands through your hair, absent mindedly makin' me want you." "Well you stood there with me in the doorway. My hands shake. I'm not usually this way, but you pull me in and I'm a little more brave." "And I don't know how it gets better than this. You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless."

Sophie grinned at Mike and he wasn’t sure what he did to get a smile like that. He wasn’t sure if it was the kiss to her temple, or something else, but he wished he knew so he could do it all the time. He did adore her smile, after all, and would do everything in his power to make sure that when she was around him, she was smiling. Even if she was sad about something, he hoped that he would be able to do something to make her happier, to make her smile. Sophie was at her most beautiful, in Mike’s mind, when she was smiling at him, especially when he had been the reason for it.

The brunette blushed a bit at his wink before she said that she would love to have dinner and then head to the cocktail bar if she still wanted to be out and celebrate after they ate. She said that the cocktail bar is new to them, so they could go to the Goose Bar and Grill. “Of course,” he told her with a smile as he looked over at her before the two headed for the door so that they could step outside and head to the place that Sophie had chosen for them to eat at. Mike was still buzzing with excitement for his girlfriend with this job opportunity.

The two apparated to where they could walk to the Goose Bar and Grill before Sophie asked him about taking the internship. He looked over at her, blinking. “Of course you should! This is a fantastic opportunity, Soph,” he told her with a smile before he paused. “…are you apprehensive about it?” He asked, sure that the two of them could talk through what she was feeling about it so that they could figure out what she wanted to do, even if she had butterflies at the thought of being gone for a few months (three, he was sure the letter said), it was still an amazing experience and it would open so many doors for her.

Mike seemed to agree to Sophie's plan for the evening, which made her feel a little more at ease. While she knew that it was her news to celebrate, she didn't want to dictate the evening if it wasn't something that Mike would enjoy too. After all, he was celebrating with her. His enjoyment of this evening was just as important as her own. But she knew that her boyfriend was selfless and would be happy doing whatever made her happy. So she kept a tight hold on his hand as they apparated to the area, enjoying the feel of his hand on hers.

She'd voiced the question on her mind, even though that question had a million doubts around it, and he smiled at her before telling her she should take it. But then the concern came into his voice as he asked if she was apprehensive about it. She nodded her head at him as they walked towards the bar, knowing that she could tell him everything that was on her mind and that he wouldn't judge.

"It's just... three months is a long time," she said, looking over at him as she bit her lip. "I know that it would be longer at Hogwarts but I had you guys. And it's a great experience but what if I take it and then they realise that they made the wrong choice offering it to me?" She paused as she looked up at him. Things were going so well with her and Mike and the idea of being away from him and her friends and family for three months was terrifying, especially if she managed to mess this opportunity up.

Michael didn’t have to wait long at all for Sophie to answer the door after he knocked. She pulled the door open, her smile causing one of his own to form before she held the door a bit further, telling him that she needed to grab her shoes, bag, and jacket and then the two of them could go. He nodded his head, stepping through the front door and waiting in the little foyer-area as she kissed him on the cheek. He grinned a bit wider at the reaction, unable to help it. It was knee-jerk, something that just happened. Instinctual, you could call it, but he couldn’t help it. Any affection from Sophie made him feel good, but feeling her lips against his own or his cheek? It had him grinning like a man in love, which was exactly what he was.

Sophie complimented him and then said that she would be back, not giving him the time to return her compliment. He just grinned and shook his head as she made her way up the steps no doubt to her room to grab what she had listed previously. It wouldn’t take her long so Mike hadn’t bothered to fish his phone from his pocket and instead just looked around at the home as he waited for her to come back down. He was able to see that very little had changed, which shouldn’t have surprised him given how busy the family was. His house, on the other hand, seemed to be constantly on the movie with new pictures on walls and furniture being moved. It’s what happened when you had a larger family, so he liked being able to come to Sophie’s and see a home that wasn’t completely different than when he had last been inside.

The gorgeous brunette returned just moments later with her heels on, and her jacket and purse. She arrived at the bottom of the steps, telling him where they could go. He paused in thought before she had thought of a cocktail bar but she was hungrier than she thought, making him grin. He leaned forward to press his lips against her temple as he usually did. “We can go to one after dinner, if you’d like to. You’re certainly dressed for it,” he told her with a playful wink. “But, up to you on where you want to go. Try something new? Or try somewhere we already know and love?” He asked her with a smile, wanting her to choose. He would tell her later that this would be his treat given the celebration of her new job, but he didn’t want to tell her now and have her pick the “cheaper” option.

Sophie enjoyed food, which was why Quidditch had been so good for her at Hogwarts. It gave her a way to work off all of that energy. But there had been times in her life when her enjoyment of food had been called into question, either by supposed friends or by those she was dating. It wasn't an unhealthy relationship, but that didn't stop people from projecting onto her. But Mike had never done that. In fact, he had been one of the few people at school who had noticed when she wasn't eating much and prompt her to get something to eat.

The kiss on the temple reminded her that he was never going to judge her for eating, and she smiled as she looked up at him. The playful wink had her blushing, as any winks from Mike seemed to automatically do, and she nodded her head. "I'd love that," she said, putting her arms around him and leaning into him a little more. "Well, the cocktail bar will be new, so can we go to the Goose Bar and Grill?" It was somewhere familiar that had good food without blowing the bank, and that was what Sophie wanted right now. They could go to the cocktail bar afterwards to continue celebrating.

Decision made, she led them towards the door, locking it behind them before they headed towards their usual spot for apparition. Once there they apparated close to the Goose, Sophie taking a hold of Mike's hand as they began to walk towards the venue. "I should take this internship, right?" she asked him, wondering about her boyfriend's thoughts on it. It was an exciting opportunity and, while it didn't pay much, she wondered if it would be worth it for the experience.

Mike took a thorough shower (not that he didn’t usually, but he was in the showers for longer than he usually was. He ensured that he didn’t smell bad before he stepped out of the showers, turning off the stream of lukewarm water. He had heard it was best for the skin. He made sure to dry himself off thoroughly, hair included, before wrapping the towel about his waist to look at himself in the mirror, trying to see if he needed to shave or not. He gazed at his reflection before he shook his head and headed to his locker. He opened it, pulling out his briefs, jeans, and a button up that he had planned on wearing for the day anyway. He slipped all of it on, leaving his button up untucked before he slipped on socks and sneakers.

The man moisturized and applied the slightest bit of aftershave, nodding before he put on his deodorant and brushed his hair in it’s usual style. The man slipped on his usual jewelry which consisted of a necklace that his mother and father had gotten him one year, a locket with the family’s picture inside, an “S” engraved on the outside of it, and his rings. He nodded, grinning at himself in the small mirror in his locker before he grabbed his phone, wallet, wand, and phone. He checked it, seeing that Sophie was ready and had thought of a few places that they could go. He nodded before he apparated to his usual spot not far from the Beckett house.

It wasn’t super busy which made Mike happy as he jogged out of the spot and started t o walk down the street, casual in his stride despite his excitement. He arrived at her home shortly, knocking on the door and waiting for her to answer so that the two of them could figure out where they were going to go for her celebratory dinner, the first of many he was sure if she had told everyone she wanted to tell. He was sure her parents and Cherry would want to take her out to celebrate.

Both of Sophie's parents were working, and she had looked at the calendar to check when they were both off at the same time. It seemed that would be on Monday, and so Sophie figured it would be better to tell them when she next saw them and see if they wanted to go out and celebrate on the Monday evening with a meal. It had been a while since they'd all had a family meal, and she knew it would do them all good. She only hoped that James would be up for it too, since he seemed to have gone into one of his silent moments where he didn't bother talking to anyone unless he needed something.

She heard the knock on the door, knowing that it was Mike, and she couldn't help the grin on her face as she raced down the stairs. She opened the door without her shoes on yet, grinning at him. He looked gorgeous as always, and she stared at him for a moment before holding the door open. "I just need to grab my shoes, bag, and jacket and then we can go?" she said to him, waiting until he stepped into the house before she gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You look very handsome," she spoke with a smile before she began to walk up the stairs. "I'll be back in a second."

A part of her had wanted to ask him if he wanted to come upstairs while she got the last few items together, but then she knew that she'd be tempted to stay up there with him. Trying to ignore those desires she came back a minute late with some small heels on, a jacket, and her bag. "I was thinking that we could go to the Goose Bar and Grill for some food or maybe that new restaurant, The Lime Cookery, for some food?" She smiled over at him, blushing a little. "I originally thought about going to a cocktail bar but it turns out I'm hungrier than I thought..." Though Sophie still wanted to maybe go to a cocktail bar as well. It would depend on how the evening went.

The idea of a celebration seemed like a good one to Sophie. She nodded her head before saying that it sounded perfect, making him grin in delight and excitement. She stood up on her tip toes, pressing her lips against his. He had to stop smiling to return her kiss, not minding in the slightest that perhaps it may have lasted longer than she intended. It wasn’t like they were going to start making out on the Quidditch Pitch. Neither of them were quite ready for what would happen if they were caught, especially by Mike’s teammates. They would be teased relentlessly, and if it was Beau who caught them? Mike was sure Sophie would never stop blushing.

The kiss was broken after a moment before she said that she should let him go shower before she said that she needed to get changed and call people to let them know about what had happened. Mike nodded his head before she asked him where she should meet him. “You pick the spot and let me know, yeah? This is your celebration dinner after all,” he told her with a grin before he moved forward, pressing his lips to her forehead before he backed away, waving to her and then moving to go into the locker room so that he could shower and change.

The other guys were done by the time Mike was heading into the showers. He had told all of them about Sophie’s job offer and they were all excited, saying that they should have a party somewhere for her, invite everyone. He laughed and told them that he would let them know what Sophie said about it before he waved to them all and headed to the showers to get squeaky clean before this celebratory dinner with his love.

Even though Mike had just had practice, he still looked incredibly attractive. Yes, he'd need a shower, but even when he was sweaty and tired from practice he managed to look gorgeous. But the fact that they were at his place of work and could easily be discovered smooching if they carried on was enough to make her pull back from the kiss. She would be mortified if the team, or even their coach, had caught them making out on the Quidditch Pitch.

Mike suggested that she pick a spot and let him know, nodding her head and grinning as she felt him press his lips to her forehead. It was a gesture that made her melt inside, watching him as he walked towards the locker room to get showered and changed. When he'd gone, Sophie made her move too, heading home to shower, change, and also to get herself ready for their celebration and sort of impromptu date.

She'd told a few people about the offer by the time she'd managed to get herself ready, slipping into a dress that she'd found in a charity shop while hanging out with Cherry, but she'd not yet had the chance to wear it. She felt cute in it, messaging Mike to say that she was ready and that she had a few ideas of where they could go. They could go to a restaurant and get some food, or one of the many cocktail bars in the city. Sophie just wanted to celebrate, re-reading the offer letter for seemingly the millionth time.

Sophie waited for Mike to approach her before she spoke, no greeting which meant that she was excited or nervous about whatever it was she was there for which meant that Mike was both excited and nervous. She told him that she knew that they didn’t have plans today and that she arrived without any warning, but she had to tell someone…something. To be fair, even if Sophie had told Mike that she was going to come and see him in advance, he probably wouldn’t have seen it until after practice. He had been up earlier than pretty much everyone alive it felt like in order to get to practice with the Cannons.

The man opened his mouth to ask her what it was she wanted to tell him before she held out the letter she had clasped in her hands. He took it after a moment, opening it and reading the scrawl that was on the parchment. He had just started reading as she told him that she had been offered one of the internships with the London Chronicle. Mike had stopped reading and looked up at her without any hesitation. His eyes snapping to her as he grinned like it was his birthday.

Mike let out a loud “whoop” before he reached for her, grabbing at her hips and lifting her up, spinning her around in circles as he cheered for her. He set her down after a moment, laughing. “That is amazing, Soph! I knew you would get something,” he told her with a big smile. “This is fantastic. We have to celebrate. I mean, you need to tell everyone, but we should celebrate. You, me, dinner. What do you think?” He asked, grinning, still clutching the letter in his hand after he had pushed it against her when he had picked her up so he wouldn’t drop it.

Sophie knew that Mike would be excited and happy for her, even if she'd only visited to tell him that she'd been offered an interview for one of the many jobs which she had been actively applying for. He always was, even when she'd interviewed for this position. But the grin on his face when he looked up at her was something else. It made her melt a little that he was so happy for her, even though she hadn't yet said if she was going to take it or not. She wanted to, but she also wanted to talk it through with someone.

Mike let out a cheer before grabbing her hips, lifting her up, and spinning her in a circle. She laughed at the action, arms around him as he put her back down on solid ground. The nervousness of sharing the news with someone had gone away now and she couldn't help the smile on her face as Mike said that he'd known she'd get something. While she'd been worried about it, he hadn't, remaining constantly positive about it.

He suggested that they celebrate, and she nodded her head. "That sounds perfect," she said, moving onto her tiptoes so that she could give him a kiss on the lips. It lasted a little longer than she intended, and she knew that he would want a shower after practice, but she felt so good at that moment in time. She pulled back from the kiss, biting her lip as she looked up at him. "I should let you go and shower," she said, looking down at the fact that she was still in sweats. "And I need to get changed and call people to let them know. Where should I meet you?"

“Watch where you’re hittin that, Collins!” Michael shouted at one of his Beaters, who had smacked a bludger in his direction, which he easily avoided. “It didn’t hit cha!” Collins shouted, grinning at the Keeper for the Cannons, causing the man to grin and shake his head in returned. Practice for the Chudley Cannons was often like this. A lot of back and forth banter as the two scrimmage teams played one another. It was a mix between the first string and second string. It meant that everyone got to practice and with the teams being mixed, it meant that everyone was able to do better or teach their teammates how to play in certain scenarios. It was really an excellent plan and Michael couldn’t be upset about it.

As it got closer to the end of practice, Mike saw Sophie in the stands which was surprising to him. He hadn’t expected to see her since, well, they didn’t have any plans for the day. Still, it was a good surprise since he had missed her with the games and practices being back on his schedule since the holidays had passed. The team headed towards the ground, landing easily before stepping off of their brooms, holding them as they made their way into the huddle to listen to their captains and coaches discuss what they had seen during practice, where they could improve as a team, and what to expect for the next day’s practice.

The team was dismissed and Mike immediately made his way over to where Sophie was at. He had seen something in her hand as she waved at him earlier which made him wonder what it was. Collins, in apology for what happened earlier Mike was sure, took Mike’s broom from him to take it to the storage shed before he headed inside with the rest of the team, leaving Mike to approach Sophie on the empty practice pitch.

He grinned once close enough. “Hey!” He shouted in greeting, beaming at her.

Tag;; @sophiebeckettrp

Sophie liked the Cannons. Admittedly, they'd become her favourite team the moment that Mike said he was going to sign with them, but she'd still admired them and their skills. But being the girlfriend of a player meant that she got to see a whole other side to the team and the way that they played. They were really a great team, working together as a cohesive unit while also not taking the game too seriously. If they lost then they lost. It wasn't a big deal to them, as long as they were playing and they were all happy and safe.

Seeing Mike talking with the team and them being dismissed after their post-practice talk, she was smiling. He looked so natural on the pitch, although he always had, even at school, but this was something else. This was where he belonged. He shouted a greeting to her, and she bit her lip until he was close enough. "I know we didn't have plans today and that I’ve just turned up without any warning but I just had to tell someone."

Sophie held out the letter towards him so that he could take it and read it, waiting until he'd begun to read before she spoke. "I've been offered one of the internships with the London Chronicle..." She was a little nervous about it now, because this was a huge deal, and she was trying to ignore the voice in her head that was desperately trying to convince her that she was going to somehow ruin it all and mess it up.

Some Good News

After having many disappointments and struggling to achieve anything since leaving Hogwarts, Sophie finally gets some good news, and the first person she wants to tell is Mike.

Sophie'd read over the owl she'd received many times now, to the point where she almost had the thing memorised. She felt giddy and nauseous at the same time, sitting down for a moment in the hopes that it would stop the shaking in her hands. After taking a few slow and deep breaths, it subsided. After so long of trying to find a job and applying for almost everything in sight, she'd finally received some good news... and it was actually for a job that she really wanted.

Okay, so it was an internship with a recently revived magical paper, the London Chronicle, but it was a job and it was the first step on the journalism ladder. There were a lot of details in the letter, including mention of a three month visit to the parent company, the New York Chronicle, to learn more about the way that they ran things, but Sophie was too focused on the fact that she'd been offered one of the three internship positions.

She needed to tell someone, and her first thought meant that she had arrived at the Cannons' training grounds. She'd sat in the stands, watching her boyfriend and unable to keep the smile off of her face as the team finally touched down on the ground once more. She waved at him, still clutching the letter tightly in the other hand as she made her way from the stands closest to the ground to the side of the pitch.

It seemed that Sophie understood that it was possible that he may not find anything related to her father in this diary. She then thanked him anyway, for at least agreeing to look, which made him smile at her and nod. “Of course, you know I’ll do anything for you,” he told her honestly before he moved to pick up his hot chocolate, bring it to his lips for a sip of it to get himself more warm than he already was. He then set the mug back down and smiled at her once more, hoping that she knew that he would, in fact, do anything for her that she asked.

Except for, you know, let her pay for their hot chocolates when he was treating her, but that was a bit different than this.

Sophie told Mike that perhaps he could plan a trip to Greece for in the summer after the season had ended and before practice started up again. Mike paused a moment, thinking about it before he nodded his head and then grinned, looking over at her. “We could go. You, me, Chris, Cherry. We could all go. Maybe find a hotel where we share rooms so we can have our privacy but be able to go out and have fun together during the day.” He could think of nothing else that he would like more than that. Sure, his family, but honestly he just wanted some alone time with Sophie while also being able to hang out with their friends.

“Assuming you would be okay with that, of course,” he told her as he looked over at her. He was sure that she hated it sometimes when he mentioned bringing their friends along, but he couldn’t help it. Chris was his best friend, and for most of their lives since their meeting, they had been a package deal. It had been a bit more rough than he would admit when the duo had been separated for longer than they were used to. It had been more of an adjustment for him than not being able to see Sophie as often as he wanted to.

If there was one thing that she knew about Mike, it was that he would do anything for her. Well, in reality it was more like Mike would do anything for everyone. But she knew, even before they'd become an item, that he would dedicate himself to helping anyone out however they could. He'd been there for her through break-ups, family dramas, exam stress, quidditch injuries, excelling in class, and good news. The good and the bad: Mike had been there. And she loved him for it.

What surprised Sophie, however, was him saying that they should go to Greece. He suggested a hotel where they could share rooms to hang out, while still having privacy when they needed it. She smiled, loving the idea of the four of them going to Greece and exploring or relaxing during the day, before them getting together and spending time with each other and then going to bed with Mike.

There was just one issue with it.

"No, I'd be okay with it," she said, biting her lip for a moment. "It's just..." She took a deep breath. "We might have to wait a while because I don't really have the money to afford that right now." She knew that Mike didn't mean that they should go immediately, but she needed him to know that, while she was on board, she'd need time to save up. "I can start saving up for it and then we can go. If that's okay with you?"

It seemed that Michael agreeing to take a look at the diary had made Sophie happy as she let out a breath and thanked him, telling him that he was the best before she gave his hand a squeeze. He gently squeezed hers in return and nodded his head. “Don’t thank me yet. We’ll see if there is anything in that diary,” he told her with a grin, wanting to be comforting. He hoped that if they found anything, things would go better than they did last time. To be fair, Sophie had met her biological grandmother, but not her birth mother. It had almost seemed like a dead end, but now maybe Mike could find something, do something for her that hopefully wouldn’t end in disaster.

In terms of a road trip, while Sophie wanted to go on one, it seemed she had no clue where she wanted to go. She added that she had always wanted to see the Northern Lights but she wasn’t sure if that was really a road trip. He let out a soft chuckle and shook his head. “No, I don’t really think that would be considered a road trip, given how, normally, there isn’t much to see on the drive somewhere to see them, but it’s definitely something we can do.” Light pollution tended to be a bitch when it came to seeing anything like that so driving into the middle of nowhere at night wasn’t exactly ideal (at least to most people).

Sophie asked if there was anywhere that he would liked to go and he chuckled. “I wanted to go everywhere. I want to see the world. I would really love to go to Greece one day, but I mean, I want to see as many places as I can before my time is up,” he told her with a small smile. It would take some time, but he would get there one day. He would see Greece in all her glory and he would see the rest of the world as well, whether it was with his friends, or his family, or even his team. He was always up for new adventures, new places to go, and learning about new cultures.

Sophie nodded along when Mike squeezed her hand and told her not to thank him yet. It could be that there was nothing worth noting in the diary at all, but that didn't stop Sophie from hoping that a fresh pair of eyes might find something. She knew that she could have asked Cherry, but with everything going on at her work and how busy they'd been she'd felt bad about adding another burden. Plus, Mike had been with her on this journey so far. "I know that we might not find anything, but thank you for at least agreeing to look," she clarified.

She smiled when he mentioned going to see the Northern Lights was likely not a road trip, but it was definitely something that they could do. It would mean going to Iceland, probably, and so they'd have to layer up, much like they had today. But the idea of going to see the lights with Mike was even better than going on her own, because she could imagine just how romantic it might be to sit under the lights.

The brunette found herself leaning in as Mike said that he wanted to see the world, but Greece was definitely on the list. It was a place that she had been to once when she was a lot younger, as her adopted parents had wanted to take her and James there as a big holiday. Zante had been beautiful from what she could remember, but it was so long ago she couldn't remember the details. "Well, maybe you can plan a trip for in the summer, after the season has ended and before practice begins again?" she suggested.

It seemed that Mike had guessed right in her wanting him to read her mother’s diary to see if he could find any clues that she had missed about her biological father. She said “please” before she said that she felt like she was losing all hope at this point, which he felt bad for. At the same time, he didn’t…quite understand what her fascination was with this, learning who her birth parents were. Her adoptive parents were amazing and always made her feel as though they were her birth parents, but he supposed he would never understand because he wasn’t adopted. So, he would do his best to remain supportive, much like he did with Chris when it came to his best friend’s sexuality.

Sophie continued, saying that she believed he would be the most help since he had come with her to Ireland, and he supposed she had a point, although maybe a fresh set of eyes would also be a good idea. “Of course I’ll have a look,” he told her with a smile. He figured that he would keep that to himself. He wasn’t sure she wanted anyone else to know what she was doing since it was possible she hadn’t told Cherry about any of this, which he believed was a shame, but he wasn’t going to tell her what to do since this wasn’t his life, and it wasn’t his call. It was hers and she would do whatever she was comfortable with, as she should.

Mike picked up his hot chocolate and took a sip as she asked him if they could do something like that again, like a road trip and he nodded his head, as he set down his mug, smiling. “Of course. Where would you want to go?” He asked her with a smile, wondering where she would choose this time. He was sure that they would be up for it since, well, they had already done one, and it was pretty fun, so why not do it again?

Spinning plates. That was what it all felt like. Sophie was trying to keep a lot of plates spinning at once, and some were easier to keep going than others. Her relationships, for example, were doing pretty well. The job search was still going too, albeit not very successfully. The attempt to find her biological father, however, was a plate that was currently teetering on the edge and was ready to fall.

She knew that her adopted family loved her, and she loved them too, but she just needed to know who she was and where she had actually come from. Was she similar to her birth father? Was there any family history she needed to be aware of in terms of medical needs? There were so many questions, but she found herself breathing a sigh of relief when Mike agreed that he would look. "Thank you, you're the best," she told him, reaching over and giving his hand a squeeze. Even if Mike found nothing, at least someone else had looked.

Mike was smiling when she mentioned another road trip, nodding his head before asking where she wanted to go. "I don't really know," she admitted, biting her lip as she look over at him. "I've always wanted to go and see the Northern Lights, but I don't know if that's really a road trip?" She'd had a handful of holidays with her family, but mostly to hot locations to relax by a pool. A road trip felt more adventurous and exciting. "Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" she asked her boyfriend.

Once their drinks were ready for them to take, Mike thanked the barista and took his hot chocolate (traditional) while Sophie took her hot chocolate (white) and they made their way over to a table next to the large front window so that they could have some natural light, and see what was going on outside in the adorable little village. There wasn’t a hustle and bustle to it, not like in the big city, but there were people who were out and about getting their winter holiday shopping done and just enjoying their time with their friends or family. It was something that always made Mike smile, and why he wanted to bring his future love her when he was a child.

The two took their seats and Sophie let go of Mike’s hand to wrap hers around her hot chocolate mug. Mike did the same, enjoying as the warmth from the mug as it seeped into his hands. He smiled, content with everything, before Sophie spoke up, garnering his attention as she said that she wanted to ask him about something and he nodded his head, encouraging her to continue.

Apparently her grandmother found the diary that her mother had kept when she was pregnant with her. She was sent it to Sophie to see if there were any clues within it about her father. Mike’s girlfriend took a deep breath before she said that she couldn’t find anything in the diary before implying that she wanted Mike to take a look at it to see if she missed anything. “You want a second pair of eyes?” He asked, looking over at her. He was asking to make sure, but he would of course do this for her if she asked. He’d do whatever he could to help her.

Sophie remembered that time she'd visited him on the hospital wing at Hogwarts, after he'd ended up in that fight with her captain. She'd gotten as far as explaining that she was going to Ireland that summer to try and track down her birth family, but she hadn't been able to actually ask Mike if he would go with her. She knew that she could ask Cherry, but she also knew that Cherry would likely be busy with the job, while Mike had the summer free. It had been Mike who had guessed what she was going to ask... just like he did this time.

"Please," she replied, a look of relief on her face. "I just feel like I'm losing all hope at this point," she found herself admitting to him, feeling particularly vulnerable at that point. It was the closest she'd gotten to telling someone that she was drowning in everything that was, or rather wasn't, going on at that moment in. "I thought that you might be the most help, since you came with me to Ireland," she explained.

Having Mike with her had been such a relief, especially when she'd gotten nervous. He managed to keep her grounded and stop her from panicking. He'd really done a lot for her, and she was trying not to think about how one sided their relationship seemed with him getting so little from her. "Do you think we could do something like that again?" she asked, ignoring the dark thoughts in her mind. "A road trip, I mean?"

“I love you!”

“I love you, too.”

“I love you more than anything else in the world!”

*chuckles* “Even more than chocolate?”

*pauses* “...Even more than that!!”

*laughs* “Shut up... you’re so damn cute...”

A part of Mike expected Sophie to argue with him about her paying, or at least them splitting the bill for their hot drinks. He would be insistent if she did, but he was glad when she agreed, telling him “only if he was sure.” He knew that it was Sophie’s way of telling him that if he changed his mind, she was okay with it, but he wouldn’t. Mike always wanted to treat his family and friends, especially given his occupation. Eventually, he knew, he would need to leave home and live in his own place, and he was saving up for somewhere nice. He often wondered who he would share an apartment with first: Chris or Sophie.

He honestly wasn’t sure.

The two of them stepped up the counter, both ordering their drinks before they waited at the counter. Sophie opted to lean in to Mike, moving to grasp one of his hands with hers, lacing their fingers together. She then thanked him before telling him that this is just what she had needed. He looked down at her, grinning, before he lifted their joined hands, pressing his lips to the back of her hand before he dropped them. “You’re very welcome. I had an inkling you needed something to take your mind off of things,” he told her, knowing the sort of weight that was on her, that she put on herself.

In a way, she was like Cherry in that way. She didn’t like asking for help, and so she didn’t receive any. She wanted to do things on her own merit instead of getting help from those around her, who were more than willing to do so. She hadn’t learned much from her biological mother about her biological father which had been disappointing to her, but Mike was sure she still wanted to search for him, wanted to find out who he was without telling anyone, without asking for help. Mike knew that Sophie was strong and independent, but sometimes he wished she understood that it was okay to ask for help.

Sophie was a very tactile person, and so she loved it when she got to touch other people or they touch her. Hugs were a big deal to her, as was hand holding, so when Mike raised their joint hands and kissed the back of hers, she found herself melting a little, a smile spreading across her face from the action. He said that he'd had an inkling that she might need something to take her mind off of things, and she was grateful that he was as understanding and caring as he was. She'd known that before they got together, but it was something else to be in a relationship with him.

Their drinks were ready and so they grabbed a hold of them, heading over to a table by the window so that they could look out over the cute village as they enjoyed their drinks. Although Sophie wanted to keep holding Mike's hand, her own were cold, and so she released her grip in order to wrap both of her hands around her mug of hot chocolate. She didn't drink immediately, instead just holding it close to her.

"I actually wanted to ask you about something," she said, looking over at Mike and biting her lip. "My grandma found the diary my mother kept when she was pregnant with me, and she sent it over in case it had any clues about my father." She looked down at her hot chocolate for a moment, taking a deep breath. "I don't know if maybe I'm too close to it or if there's nothing there, but I can't find anything, so..." She looked up at Mike, finding the words stuck in her throat, much like when she'd asked him to go to Ireland with her to try and find her birth family.
