John

[mooningremus]

The full moon wasn't until the next night, but Remus was already feeling edgy. Mostly he wanted to eat a rare steak and go home and fuck Willy. Except Willy... hadn't been home, even though he'd told Remus he would be. And Remus had baked a pie in anticipation. He'd texted, asking when he'd be home. And he got a response, hours later: probably not home tonight. And then he'd thought... where he probably was... which was with someone else...

Remus left the pie on the counter, put on the new scarf and coat he'd gotten for Christmas, and walked down the street to the nearest bar.

He ordered a rare steak and ate it quickly, and then just sat at the bar sipping bottom shelf whiskey.

"I take requests," Remus quipped as he finished his off, and then seeing that John's was empty now, took them both to the sink.

"I should probably go before he comes home. I don't want to be here for the row," he said as he stood up, suddenly a bit awkward about how to end the night.

[mooningremus]

"Yes, of course," Remus said, a little relieved by that.

"John, I - " He wasn't sure what to say. "I realize this was probably just a fluke thing, but if you want to..." He didn't know how to end that. "I mean. You know where to find me I guess."

[petty_dabbler]

"YEah. I know how to find you," he nodded. He wasn't going to hold his breath. He was sure Remus wasn't going to tell Willy.

Might be kind of nice to get one over on the faerie, though...

God, you are such an asshole, John. You just need to fuck up people's lives, don't you?

Chas did have a point, though. At least this time John knew he was right.

[mooningremus]

Remus stood, to walk him to the door. "To be clear... I hope to see you again."

[petty_dabbler]

"I'll be around," he said. John caught his face and kissed him for a long moment before drawing back.

"Ta, mate."

[mooningremus]

Remus kissed him back, a smile on his lips when he offered him a wave goodbye and closed the door. Then went about cleaning the kitchen, intent on that before showering and going to bed.

Just a few minutes later Willy rushed in, nearly frantic, and the second he saw Remus he wrapped his arms around him and held him tightly.

"Oh, thank the stars. I thought you might be dead."

[mooningremus]

Remus was shocked when Willy came in, and was a little stiff in his embrace since... well... you know, he'd been fucking John less than half an hour ago.

"I... no, I'm fine..." he offered weakly. "What are you doing here, you said you wouldn't be home!"

[willysilver]

"I came to get my fiddle," he said. "And then I saw the warlock...I thought the worst."

[mooningremus]

"No, he was here at... my invitation..." And Remus' face went pink from his neck to his ears.

He pulled away from Willy, sure he'd be able to smell John on him. "Would you like some pie? It's still hot..."

[willysilver]

"At your...you had him," he said in stunned disbelief.

[mooningremus]

Though he was still a bit pink in the face, Remus' voice was rather flat when he said, "You seem surprised."

[willysilver]

"I am," he nodded. "Why him?"

Of all the possible people...why him?

[mooningremus]

"Why not him?" Remus said, and found himself... annoyed. "He's attractive, he was nice to me, and he wanted me."

[willysilver]

"He's a warlock," he said in disgust.

[mooningremus]

"And I'm a werewolf," Remus snapped.

[willysilver]

"Yeah, but you're not dangerous," Willy scoffed.

[mooningremus]

"And neither was he," said Remus. "He was, in fact, quite docile as he begged me to fuck him. Would you like some pie?"

[willysilver]

"Not really," he said, moving to the closet to find his fiddle.

[mooningremus]

A little bit of his defensiveness dissipated.

"Are you angry?" he asked.

[willysilver]

"Why would I be angry? Have your affairs," he replied. Despite the question it was clear he was, in fact, angry.

[mooningremus]

"You are," Remus accused. "You're angry. Or upset, at least. Is it just because it was him? Or does it actually bother you that I was with someone else at all?"

[willysilver]

"You can do what you like," Willy snapped. He didn't mean it, but he intended to mean it. It was ridiculous to expect loyalty...but he had. He had, and it stung that Remus didn't love him that much. Which part of him knew wasn't fair, but he was busy being hurt.

[mooningremus]

Remus looked slightly wounded.

He looked down. "Willy, I didn't think you wanted me all to yourself."
