A Return

[atamewolf]

It's been months since Remus has been able to get into the Inn.

It's been a few days (15 and four hours, not that he's morosely counting) since Sirius called for a split.

He's given me no reason. Nothing that I can accept. He's MINE. I am HIS.He's not a happy wolf by any means, but he is oddly grateful to be back in the Inn

Speak of the Padfoot.

Sirius comes into the Inn with his head slightly hung, oblivious - temporarily at least - to Remus' presence. Lily is walking along beside him, clearly helping him walk straight, murmuring to him in quiet, concerned tones.

"Sirius, you've got to let us do something about this....this can't go on..."

"Save it, Lils. I'm not putting you in danger by letting you get involved."

"Is that why you broke off with Remus? To keep him from getting involved?"

"........."

"....you are an idiot, Sirius Black."

Remus closes his eyes briefly. I knew it. I bloody fucking well knew it.

"It's not going to work," he says, voice gone hoarse. His eyes take on a golden edge when he sees the injuries on Sirius's body. Between one breath and the next, he's in front of him, a hand on one of his shoulders. "Look at me."

Sirius goes still with surprise, then looks up at Remus; he's bruised, his face cut up badly, and when he licks his lips it's obvious that his tongue is burned.

"....Remus. Hullo."

"You bloody prat," he says thickly, a hand moving to cradle Sirius's face. "This is why you broke things off?"
