Last weekend was...quite the ride. Not only had Irina and Dan stayed the weekend, but him and Magi had a few talks that first night after...well, after they had some fun. It was a shock of Niko's to hear that Magdalena enjoyed music. Not only enjoyed it, but she loved it and she was a pianist. That was never something Nikolai had ever imagined her to do. But now that he knew, he had planning something for her all week.
It was hard to keep it hidden from her, but Nikolai knew she'd never go beyond the trees in his backyard. Not without him, at least. He had some people come in while she wasn't home to build a small area for her; it was an enclosed room, hardwood floors, large mirrors, everything else she would need to write music. Not only that, but he bought her a brand new piano. As he stood there, looking at all the decorations he had, Nikolai knew she was going to like it. And just for a little extra, there was a bookcase filled with books on wandlore. Whether she'd be upset about that, he didn't know. Nikolai shut the large double glass doors, and walked the small pathway back into his back yard and walked over to his patio.
Niko sat down and crossed his legs. It was beautiful out. He was sitting, drinking a coffee and writing in his book. Unfortunately, when reading, he had to wear glasses. He was hoping he'd be able to take them off before Magdalena got him, because she didn't know he wore glasses. However, he lifted his head and looked to his left to see her.

Life was never boring with Nikolai, Magdalena had decided. The latest excitement, of course, had been his sister and best friend spending the weekend with them. They'd gone back to Hogwarts at this point, leaving just Magdalena and Nikolai alone once more. She'd spent the next few days 'making up' for her bratty behavior to him. Not today though. she'd been out running errands. She'd needed to stop by Diagon Ally for a few things, making sure to avoid her family's wand shop, and then grocery shopping. It was mid afternoon by the time she got back, pushing the front door open with her hip. "Nikolai?" She called into the house. No answer. Hm. He must be out, or on his Quidditch pitch. Taking the groceries into the kitchen, she swiftly put them away, before heading out the back door to go find him.
Oh, there he was. Sitting on the patio writing away. And wearing glasses. She grinned, and he looked up just in time to see her. She quickly crossed to the table, a pep in her step and leaned against the table, Swiftly she took his glasses off before he could stop her, still grinning. "These are cute. Why don't you wear them around?"

@magdalena <3 Just as quickly as Nikolai saw Magdalena, she was right in front of him grinning, and then his glasses were in her hand. Niko shook his head at her and rubbed his eyes now that they were free from the glass in front of them. He took a deep breath through his nose and sat back in the chair. Nikolai bit his lip and shut the book, curious as to where she's been all morning.
"Why? Because I only need them for reading, that's why." His tone seemed a bit snippy, but he was just kidding. However, Nikolai wasn't wanting her to be upset with him. Not with the surprise he had for her.

Magdalena chuckled, and shrugged. "You usually lock herself in your study when you read." She spoke non chalantly, completely ignoring the small bite to his words. Instead she turned the glasses over in her hands and put them on herself, and forced that grin into a sweet and charming smile. "So? Would I be cute with glasses?" She asked, waiting a moment before taking them off and holding them out for him to take.
A moment later, and she pulled out the other chair at the patio table, plopping down in it, and putting her feet up on his knee as he reclined back a bit. "So? How's your day been? You didn't miss me too much, did you?" She teased. For some reason she was in a particularly good mood today.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai grinned sheepishly at her. He knew it looked like he was reading, but he really wasn't. He was just writing. A small shrug and an awkward chuckle later, he pointed towards his notebook. "I was actually writing... Not reading." Magdalena put the glasses on and he smiled widely. She definitely looked different, and pretty goofy with the circular lenses. "Cute and funny." As she handed them back, instead of putting them on his face he let them hang from the front of his shirt even though he was sure she wouldn't approve.
Magi sat down in front of him and he felt her leg on his knee. Nikolai let out a big yawn and then smiled. "Oh of course I missed you, Magdalena. What did you get, exactly?" She tended to be very vague when letting him know where she was going. It was generally concerning and he wanted to make sure she wasn't doing anything she shouldn't be.

Writing, right. Magdalena glanced down at the notebook he'd pointed out, before looking back at him with a curious look. "Writing what?" She had a sneaking suspicion that he enjoyed writing, though he hadn't said anything about it yet. Just... what could he be writing about? Her curious look turned to feigned hurt as he said cute and funny. "I am funny, not funny looking." She retorted quickly and confidently.
Magdalena reclined back in the chair, brushing her hair behind the back and leaned back so her head was resting against the back of the chair and closed her eyes. "Stuff." was her immediate response, stopping for a moment to let out a slow, deep breath. "Needed to pick up a few things from the apothecary and grocery store." She answer was vague, she knew. But... Well she wasn't keeping it a secret, but she wasn't going out of her way to tell him. Mostly because she didn't know how he might react...

@magdalena <3 His response to her question was him just looking down at the book, his eyes scrunched up. It wasn't really about anything... It was just whatever came to mind. It had been Nikolai's way of escaping his past as a child and putting everything into perspective and out of his brain. "Nothing in particular." Niko shrugged, but laughed at her comment. "You're funny looking with my glasses on, Magdalena."
She leaned back and shut her eyes, just as he did. He grinned and licked his lips. He was glad she had gone shopping, it was... Nice to not have to do everything on his own anymore. All she said was stuff and he became suspicious. "Stuff? What kind of stuff?" Nikolai wasn't sure if he should be worried or not.

Nikolai just had to go on and say she was funny looking with his glasses on. She pouted. "Aw, that hurts" He was probably right though. Round glasses wouldn't look that great on her. "Don't you want to have an adorable and nerdy girlfriend?" She asked innocently. She was nerdier then most people thought.... At least when it came to that memory of hers. She just retained information like a sponge, it was almost freaky.
She opened an eye and tilted her head to look at him when he asked her what kind of stuff, an eyebrow slowly raising. IT was almost as if she was silently asking if he was sure he wanted to know. After a few moments her expression relaxed and she closed her eye once more. "Birth control." She answered, with absolutely no hesitation, shame, or even consideration to how he might react to the two words. That, in particular, was a topic they hadn't talked about at all. But she was absolutely sure that she was not ready to get pregnant, and she wasn't about to let him knock her up. At the rate they were going, it was bound to happen if she didn't do something to prevent possible pregnancy.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai just smiled at her teasingly. Of course she was cute and nerdy, but circular glasses did not flatter her face very well. But Niko wasn't about to tell her that, it'd make him look like a bad boyfriend!
Her eye opened. Just one. This was enough to make his heart race. Oh no. She was hiding something. This wasn't going to be good. Niko sat up straight, glancing at her face. She shut her eye again and then said two simple words. Two words, that he didn't think he'd have to hear... Ever. Nikolai felt his blood run ice cold, and his eyes widened as large as they could go. His palms went down on the table flat and he pushed himself up, staring at Magdalena. "WHAT? Birth control, Magdalena? You weren't already on that? Oh my god." Niko ran his hand through his hair and began pacing bank and forth, now talking to himself and no longer Magi. "How many... How many times did we do it? When did we do it? Are you late? You must be pregnant. Oh my god I can't believe this. This can't be happening. What if you are pregnant? What will we do? Well... The house is big enough... Why weren't you on birth control before? And you didn't tell me!" The pacing continued, his breathing becoming heavier.

Nikolai's reaction wasn't.... unexpected, but it was much more flamboyant then she'd thought. He was on his feel quickly, dislodging her feet from his lap and making her jolt upright to avoid falling, her eyes open immediately. He started pacing, and she watched him, her head tilting a little at his panic. She wasn't sure if she should find his panic attack funny, or sad. If she should laugh or try and stop him. She finally opened her mouth to say something, but he started his rant. She sighed then, rolling her eyes, and reclining once more. She was unusually calm as she closed her eyes once more. At the first question, of how many times they'd done it, she opened her eyes, and silently started counting on her fingers. She opened her mouth to answer, but he'd already moved on to other questions, and she sighed.
He just kept panicking and pacing. So, with groan she sat up, and get got to her feet, quickly she stepped in his path and planted both hands on his shoulders to stop his mad pacing and stared intently into his eyes. "Stop panicking. No, I'm not late. Or pregnant. I wasn't on it before because obviously I wasn't having sex with anyone, and I'm telling you now, aren't I?" She was rather blunt about it, but quite calm. As if this wasn't such a terrifying situation to him.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai's mind was running with thoughts faster than he was speaking, if that was even possible. He was in complete shock about all of this and he didn't know what to do, how to react. So... He just kind of freaked out. It wasn't Like she said she was pregnant. But, she could be. His pacing quickly stopped when she walked in front of him and put her hands on his shoulders. He jumped, eyes wide.
"You still could be, you know. All the times we've already done it without protection!" As nervous as he was, he was beginning to calm down. A baby was... So much at 19. Nikolai was sure he wouldn't be able to do it. Then again, many people did. Right now he was just trying to convince himself that there was no baby inside Magdalena.

At least Nikolai stopped pacing like mad, her boyfriend stopping when she got in his path. He jumped a little though, and she kept her hands firmly on his shoulder. She didn't look away from him. She was relieved that he seemed just as unprepared for an accidental pregnancy as she was. "I'm not." she repeated, her voice strong and firm. She was very confident that she wasn't pregnant. There were other ways to prevent pregnancy then regular birth control. There was a potion used for... Well after the act, that would ensure a pregnancy didn't result. She'd been primarily using that up until now. She smiled reassuringly. "It's fine, Nikolai. I took other precautions, birth control is just easier long term."

@magdalena <3 Her voice was stern and it caused him to take a deep breath then let it out slowly. Niko wasn't one to usually get so worked up about things, but this was serious and he hadn't even thought about it prior which probably wasn't the best thing for him to do. He nodded his head at her, letting his hands finally fall to rest at his side. He rose both of his eyebrows at her and tilted his head. "Other... Precautions?" Nikolai didn't know much about birth control or what you could do, but he also wanted to know what she had done. It was a bit concerning, and as he thought about it, if she had been pregnant, he would've wanted to keep it.

Magdalena smiled as he finally seemed to calm down. She could feel him relax a little under her hands. To be honest, his reaction had been pretty hilarious. He'd freaked out more then she'd even considered. She finally let her own hands drop from his shoulders, and shrugged. "A potion you drink the next day. Works the same way as birth control. It's stops the hormones." As long as she took the potion within 72 hours it would prevent pregnancy. But she didn't want to take it every single time they decided they wanted each other. It'd be annoying and.... While she had a good memory there was the chance of forgetting. She wasn't going to risk that.

@magdalena <3 He no longer felt her hands on his shoulders and he looked into her eyes as she shrugged. Hell, at least it what just a potion. That made him relax even more and Nikolai shook his head, yawning. "You scared the crap out of me, Magdalena. Don't do that." His tone had a light snip in it, but it was also more thankful that nothing like a pregnancy was happening. Niko walked over to his book and picked it up. He put it in the back pocket of his jeans as it was very small and smiled at her. "Other than all of that...how are you?" Niko let his hands rest on her hips and he kissed her forehead.
