Thursday, November 6th - After dinner

Oct 26, 2004 16:16

Theodore was getting into a routine of sneaking out at night now, he found it a little odd that just a few months back he wouldn't have really dared such a thing, but he didn't mind. Carefully he made his way to Lupin's room, knowing the corridors and hidey-holes by heart now, knowing that if someone came along, especially a teacher, he'd have to ( Read more... )

Remus looked up from his desk and smiled. He'd been looking forward to seeing Theo all day, even though the talk would surely prove trying.

"Hey, Theo." He put down his quill and walked over to meet Theo, hugging him tightly and kissing his cheek.

"Let's go sit in front of the fire."

He led Theo across the room, then sat on the floor in front of the hearth. He'd charmed the fire to not be too hot; he got chilly even in summer, but the fire full strength would be too hot. He liked the flames so much, though, that he kept it on, just muted it's heat a bit. Remus would have sat in the armchair and directed Theo to the other, but he wanted to be closer than that to his lover. The bed would have been close, but...Too close. So, the floor seemed the best solution. They could sit close and hug, hold hands, whatever.

"So...You wanted to talk to me, then?"

He smoothed Theo's hair with his fingers and smiled encouragingly.

"Y-yeah, I do..." Theo gave Remus a weak smile as he joined him on the floor, one hand reaching out for Remus's own without really thinking about it.

"I..." He bit his lips, eyes going to the fire as he thought about how to start. He'd been thinking things over through the day but it didn't make it any easier. "I'm sure you know about my fathers'... alliances... he... that day, the... the execution, he wanted me to go but I declined, said something about missing class because I didn't want to dissapoint him but I did anyway..." He only paused to take a quick breath, if he was going to say it, it'd likely be rushed out.

"I know he was upset, but I couldn't, I was scared... scared of it, of dissapointing him, of showing how much a failure I was..." He closed his eyes briefly, taking another breath. "A few days ago he returned my owl, he... My father told me he doesn't expect me to join them. He knows I wouldn't fit in, that.... that I wouldn't want that, and even though he's highly dissapointed, he still wants to keep me safe..." He ( ... )

Remus took Theo's hand in his own and held it gently, just listening ( ... )

Theo listened to Remus's words, sniffing lightly as he hugged the other back just as tightly and nodded every so often. He could tell Remus was angry, but what he said made sense but it didn't make him feel all that much better. The one thing he'd wanted in life was to be someone his father could br proud of, but he refused to change who he was to do it. It hurt, but he knew he'd never be that kind of person his father would have preffered, but at least his father hadn't washed his hands completely of him.

Sniffling again, he reached up to wipe his eyes, closing them as he listened to what Remus was saying, knowing it was true even if he still didn't fully believe it. "I know... I know, I never questioned myself before but... knowing he's ashamed, actually knowing is different from just thinking it. But, I know he'd be dissapointed in me for this, and I don't care, I care for you, other than my cat your the best thing in my life. I love my parents but we were never close, sometimes it's like they were never there and only used me in ( ... )
