Chapter 2
“Remus, it's been almost an hour he’s not coming.”
“He could still come. Maybe his house is really far away and he has like 10 dogs that all need to go out at different times.”
“I dought that is the case, but you keep on dreaming mate. Why do you even want to talk to him that bad?”
“I just need him to know that I’m sorry.”
“Hasn’t he already made it clear he doesn’t want your apology?”
“Yes, but I just need him to know that I’m sorry and that I feel really bad about being mean to him.”
“He probably already knows you’re sorry and just doesn’t want to talk to you which is completely reasonable, since you were mean to him for years.”
“But what if he doesn’t know? What if he still thinks I hate him and thinks I will turn the whole team against him? And I just need him to know that I’m sorry for everything. I don’t need him to forgive me I just need him to acknowledge that I'm sorry.”
“He has acknowledged that.”
“He said, “Ok” that's not enough.”
“Fuck I need a drink.”
“I will go get you one.”
“Ok thanks.”
“Hey, Remus!” Gilderoy says as he places his arm around Remus.
Remus tries wiggling a bit so he takes his hand of ut as per usual Gilderoy doesn't take the hint.
“Gilderoy yay,” Remus replies sarcastically
“Sooo is the waterboy coming tonight.”
“He might. He said he had to go let his dog out.”
“Coolll well, he seems nice.”
“Ya, I guess he does-”
“Remus! Hey, I got you a drink. Hi Lockhart that's kind of my seat.”
“Oh ya I'll move. I'll talk to you later Remus.” Gilderoy says with a wink
“Here's your beer.”
“Thanks.”
“I hate it when he does that.”
“Does what?”
“He always puts his hand around my shoulder or pats my back. He just always finds a way to touch me. He doesn't know personal space.”
“ Have you ever thought that he might like you?”
“Well ya, we are friends. Or he thinks we are friends.”
“No, that he like likes you.”
“What.”
“Like romantically likes you.”
“Romantically!?Gilderoy!? noooo no ew, I don't think so!”
“I really think he does mate. Why do you think he is always finding a reason to touch you or talk to you.”
"Well, it is not like it is romantic or anything. He just probably likes physical touch, and he talks to people all of the time.”
“Right but it's just different with you.”
“I don't think so. And it's not like I'd ever even consider dating him."
"He's not that bad."
“He's not that bad!? Have you seen him?”
“At least he's not like a murder.”
“You don't know that.”
“He looks too friendly to be a murder.”
“And people said that about Ted Bundy.”
“Whatever I'm getting another drink.”
“Oooo can you get me one too.”
~~~
“OK Remus it's time to go.”
“Noooo please I'm fineee James.”
“You've had to much to drink and we have practice tomorrow.”
“I haven't drranken that muchh.”
“You're drunk. Very very drunk.”
“I barely had anything to drinnk. I'm not drunk.”
“Remus! Put the drink down. I am taking you to the car you're going home.”
James grabs Remus arm and starts to drag Remus out of the pub and Remus wines “James's please just leet mee stay a little longer.I just started to have funnnn."
"You starred to have fun two hours ago."Shit Lily's calling. Remus stay right there. I'll be right back. Do not move you hear me.”
“Ya ya ok mum I'll stay right here. No need to worry Jamie.”
“Ya ok.”
Remus starts to wonder off stumbling into everything
Remus bumps into a man and spills his drink all over him.
“Hey what the hell man!”
“Sorrrry mate. Let me get you a towel.”
“Bartender man! Can you get me a towel I spilled my drink all over that bloke over there.”
“Umm, sure here you go.”
“Thank you, kind sir. Remus says with a bow. You know you're kind of hot-”
“Remus?”
Remus squints his eyes he can barely see the man maybe he has had a bit too much to drink.
“James?” he asks
“No, it's Sirius.”
“Sirius you came! I didn't think you were coming!” Remus says as he runs up and hugs Sirius tightly.
“Err ya traffic was bad and why do you have a towel?”
“Long sory.”
“Remus I told you to stay there!”
“Jamieeee look Sirius came! Remus says pointing over to Sirius excitedly. Give me a minute I have to go clean off this guy over there. I spilled my drink all over him.”
“Did you apologize I thought I took your drink away?”
“I err I goot another one, I tink I don't really know where I got it frrom. And again there you go sounding like my mum againnn”
“Ya, whatever go give him the towel.Hey Sirius! So I know random question but err Lily my wife called to tell me that my son Harry got really sick at his friends house and I need to go home right now. Err Sirius, it's completely fine if you don't want to but I was wondering if you could take Remus home. He obviously can't drive himself home. But I completely understand if you don't want to since you just got here, and you and Remus aren't exactly the best of friends.”
Remus stumbles back over to them bumping into Sirius as he says.
“I cann drive meself homeee. I've only had like two beers… and maybe 5 shots.”
“Umm ya sure I can drive him home. What's his address.”
“I can text it to you.”
“I'm fineee! I can drive myself home!”
“No, you can't come on Remus.”
~~~
HONK! HONK!
“Why won't these cars move!”
“Sirius.”
“What.”
“I'm sorry.”
“Ya, you keep telling me that.”
“But I'm like really really rrrreally sorry.”
“I know.”
“Please believe meee.”
“I do believe you.”
“Then do you forgive me?”
“No.”
“Whyyy?”
“Because you really hurt me.”
“I'm sorry.”
“I know.”
“I wasn't trying to be mean.”
“You weren't the one being mean, you just didn't do anything about your friends being mean and it hurt after being your friend for so long.”
“I'm sorrrry.”
“Stop saying sorry. I know your sorry.”
“Ok. Welllll do you know why I stopped talking to you in school.”
“Because you were on the basketball and got popular.”
“Noooo.”
“No? Why then?”
“Because I had a crush on you.”
“What?!”
“Ya I didn't understand the feelings so I left. I didn't understand I liked you until I was in uni.”
“Remus you're drunk.”
“But it's true. And the reason all the waterboys keep leaving is because I hookup with them then break their hearts.”
“You tell a lot of secrets when you are drunk.”
“I'm just being honest.”
“A bit too honest maybe.”
“I have more if you want them.”
“You might not want to tell me them I mean I could just blackmail you and ruin your career.”
“But you wouldn't do that would you siri.”
“Well we are here.”
“Ugggg I don't won't to walk.”
“I don't think you can walk.”
“Then I guess you have to carryyy meee.”
“I'm not that strong.”
“OK Remus out of the car.”Sirius says as he opens the Remus door.
“Catch me!”
“NO REMUS NO! Don't jump.”
“Fine ugg. You're such a party pooper.”
“I haven't heard anyone say that since primary school.Ok well put your arm over my shoulder.”
Remus stumbles out of the car puts his arm around his shoulder and says “Mmmm you smell rreally good.” As he nuzzles his face onto Sirius shoulder.
“Umm thanks?”
“That's a compliment.”
“I figured.”
“Alright get up the step.”
Sirius opens the door and leads Remus into the house.
“Is your bedroom upstairs?”
“Yep!”
“Shit.”
“Why shit?”
“I don't think you can walk up the stairs.”
“I ma…ybe probably can .”
“Let's go then. Hold on to the rail.”
“Okkk anything for you Siri.”
“Don't trip.”
“I won't.” He says as he trips on a step and falls on his face
“Are you ok!?”
“Physically yaa but I feel like I'm going to puke.”
“Shit where's the toilet.”
“Over there somewhere,” Remus mumbles as he points to the halway
“Thank you that's helpful. Here's the trash puke in there not on the floor.”
“I can't make any promises.”
“Ew.”
“OK, this is your room. Right?”
“Errr I think soo. I can't see very well.”
“OK, whatever. In the bed.”
Remus plops into the bed and Sirius grabs the blanket and tucks Remus in.
“Thankk youu Siri.”
”Stop calling me Siri.”
“OK Siri.” Remus grabs Sirius face with both of his hands and a wide smile goes across his face then he says “You know your eyes are really pretty. They were pretty in school too.”
“Let go of my face.”
“OK fine.”
“Are you ok? Do you need anything else before I leave?”
“Do you have to leaveee.”
“Yes, I do.”
“Pleaseeee don't goooo.”
“I have to go.”
“But I need special treatment.”
“Because you are drunk?”
“Ya”
“Well, who's fault is that?”
“Fine and no I don't have anything else I needd.”
“OK bye, Remus. See you tomorrow.”
“OK bye. See you tomorrow.”
