Willy
Remus really had taken his week with Willy as both magical and temporary. Especially when they'd parted ways with Willy giving no indication that he wanted to see him again. And Remus, who felt as if he'd been given more than enough and had little to offer in return, hadn't felt right about asking.
That night as he locked himself in the storage unit he felt... despair. He was so used to being miserable that having been happy for a while and following it up with this... it somehow made it worse than usual. And somewhere inside him he could feel the wolf's rage, too. It had liked Willy. A lot.
He blacked out as usual, and the next morning remembered nothing. But he knew that whatever happened, it was so much worse than it had been in a long time.
There was blood smeared everywhere. His blood. And he was covered in scratches, where the wolf had turned on itself with nothing else to take its rage out on. His head felt fuzzy, too, and he realized there was blood in his hair... oh, he must have slammed his head against the wall. That's what that spot on the wall was.
He honestly didn't know what to do. He couldn't go to a hostel like this.
Finally he threw on his coat and tried his best to keep his head down as he limped through the streets of London... back to Willy's doorstep.
And when Willy opened the door, the first words out of his mouth were, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know where else to go..." And then swayed on his feet, looking as if he were about to fall over.

"Mmm, cream," he purred. "Are you trying to seduce me?"

"You need do nothing at all and I will be happy," he said as they arrived at the cafe. Inside was warm and filled with a thousand delicious scents. Willy waved to the waitress and sat down. She brought over coffee, knowing Willy would be asking for that first anyway.

"You looked terrible," he said. He took up a menu. "Next moon I will chain you up so you don't damage yourself again."

"You're not alone now," Willy pointed out. He perused the menu for a moment, then laid it aside so he could drink his coffee. "Where are your friends?"

"Hmm," he replied in interest, but then didn't follow it up with anything. "What will you eat?" he asked then.
no subject
"Bacon and eggs, I think," he said, and then with a little smile, "and a chocolate muffin."

"Very good," he said. "Tell me more about wizards."

"There must not be many wizards if there's only one school for the whole of the UK," Willy said. "A rare gem, are you?"

"What do you enjoy teaching?" he asked as he lifted his coffee to his lips.

"And they won't let you teach because of the wolf?" he asked.

"You could teach online," he suggested.

The waitress came back over and Remus eagerly gave her his order. With extra bacon.

Willy ordered fruits and breads, then indulged in some cheese as well. He smiled at her in a way she'd think about all day...and then again tonight, alone in bed.
"That looks lovely," he said. He picked up a grape and ate it. Watching him, a person would bee genuinely jealous of the grape.

"It helps to not be human," he replied as he chewed.

"You are kind. You are beautiful," he said in a way that he clearly assumed Remus should already know.
