GOD KILLERS. Tom Riddle

11. The aftermath

CHAPTER ELEVEN
THE AFTERMATH

AFTER THEIR HUG, BUNNY PULLED HIM UP INTO A STANDING POSITION.

"I went easy on you as well," he commented taking a look at his bloody nose.

"That was going easy on me?" Augustine asked in disbelief, wincing once Bunny's fingers grazed his nose, because that definitely did not feel like Bunny was going easy on him. That felt like Bunny was out to kill him.

Bunny hummed in agreement before motioning him to follow as he started to walk off in the opposite direction.

"I should probably teach you," Bunny mused, "you're a shit fighter."

Augustine caught up with him easily, seeing as Bunny wasn't exactly the tallest person he knew.

"I am not," he replied defensively, though he did think he should have lessons, maybe he could get better.

Bunny scoffed, "yeah yeah whatever you say," he took out his wand, directing it at the bloodied mess that was Augustine's face.

"let's get you cleaned up eh?"

....

The walk back to the common room was a quiet one, with only the sounds of footsteps to accompany them.

Thankfully, their dormitory was empty, which raised anxiety within Augustine. He knew where everyone was, except for a certain prefect.

Theo had gone down to the forest with Flick doing Merlins beard's what, whilst Reinhardt and Abraxas had holed themselves up in the library. Abraxas had apparently failed one of his muggle studies tests and Reinhardt had forced him to study.

That just left Tom.

Bunny just shrugged when Augustine asked, "maybe he's off doing something creepy, like gutting a unicorn or something," he joked with a sick grin.

Augustine shook his head, but couldn't hold back the smile that cut across his face. Bunny always had a nack for joking about the morbid, and it was always funny.

Bunny had then collapsed on the closest bed, flipping himself over to see Augustine, "I've missed you," he smiled out.

Augustine turned his gaze towards the door, half expecting Tom to burst in, to accuse him of something, but nothing happened. Just Augustine staring guiltily at the closed door.

He turned back to Bunny, walking close to the bed, his hands went to Bunny's hair, a ghost of a smile lingered on the boys face.

"No you didn't," he replied softly. It had become their thing, Augustine realised.

I missed you, no you didn't.

Because Augustine couldn't understand how Bunny could miss him. Augustine wasn't missable in his mind.

Bunny smiled, his hands pulling him down next to him. Augustine lay besides him, head turned so that their noses almost touched.

"Now that we're friends again," Bunny spoke, a little fidgety, "what the fuck happened to your hair?"

Augustine groaned, hands flying up to his hair, "this is entirely your fault you know,"

Bunny raised a brow, propping himself up on an elbow, looking to him, "how so?"

"After Tom lied to me I went into a minor breakdown," He waved to his hair annoyed, "and this happened."

Bunny laughed, "aw, poor thing," he ruffled Augustine's hair still laughing, "I could've done it you know, if you asked."

He shook his head, trying to duck out the way of Bunny's hands. "Not with your meaty fingers,"

"Fuck you," Bunny responded laughing still, "my meaty fingers could've done a splendid job at cutting your hair,"

"Yeah yeah," Augustine replied, cheeks hurting from smiling.
