Whispers in the confessional ~ Wolfstar

Chapter 9- Collection

Sirius Blacks point of view:

Father Lupin had taken me to a coffee shop and we had sat down in a lovely little quiet booth away from all the other people. As we briefly glanced over menus, I asked, "Are you sure you want me to you know... live with you for a bit. I'm not the best roommate." I winced.

He laughs, as if what I said was absolutely absurd, "It only has to be for a little bit if you want. Of course you're welcome to stay as long as you like though." You can see a small white glimpse of his teeth as he smiled and its... charming? "I'm doing this to help you, to help you recover. I'm never going to be mad at you."

Do you think he'd be mad if I told him I wanted to fuck this shit out of his celibate ass? He probably would be.

"Thank you." I tried to hide my laugh as I thought these kind of thoughts but it was no use.

"What are you laughing about?" Hie eyes grew confused and clueless.

"Oh ummm." I racked my brain for an excuse, any excuse at all. "This hair is sticking up weirdly." I flattened down his hair that was perfectly styled anyway and tried to pretend that I didn't enjoy running my hands through his soft, wavy hair.

"Oh." His smile turned to an ark ward grin, "Thanks. Now what do you want? I'll go up an order for us."

My mind quickly browsed the cheap wine list but then I forced my head to the other side of the menu. "Just a tea please. Some milk one sugar." I smiled up at him as he stood up, "Thanks."

Once he was out of sight my body endured a deep sigh, I was already thinking non celibate thoughts about a priest and now I was going to have to live with him, only for a week. But let's be real I'm going to be staying much longer than that.

He soon came back with the drinks and we began to chat again, "Is that a hot chocolate?" I confirmed, staring at the mug with thick whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top.

He nodded, snuggly, "It's hot chocolate Wednesday."

My eyes narrowed, "Pretty sure that's not a thing."

"It is in the priest hood." He joked, taking a spoonful of cream into his mouth.

"Is it really?" I asked, sarcastically as I took a few sips of my tea.

Once again he nodded and then said, "There any many things you don't know about the priest hood." He spoke as if he was trying to sound ominous.

"Oh? Like what?" I laughed as I placed my mug down.

"Every Saturday we... we do karaoke, but only songs that are the most inappropriate we can find. We feel a little rebellious on Saturdays." He laughed at his own joke, a joke that wasn't all that funny but his laugh was contagious. His laugh made me want to laugh out of pure joy.

That evening Father Lupin came with me to Reggies to collect my things, when Reggie answered the door he was confused, "Father." He nodded, almost seriously.

He laughed, "Ha! You calling me father as if you don't know my name." He laughed and barged his way through, extremely impolitely.

I honestly forgot Father Lupin had a name, I was just so used to calling him father.

"Why are you here... Remus?" Reggie put emphasis on his name.

Remus? ...Remus? It's a silly name but it suits him so well. It both slides off the younger but also stays there in your mouth to remind you of him. "What a beautiful name."

"Huh?" He asked.

"Nothing." I jumped.

"No you said something about a beautiful name?" He corrected.

"Well... yeah. Remus us quite a lovely name. Beautiful." My mind worked at a million miles an hour.

If Reggie could of kicked me then... he would of.

"Anyway, I'm here to help Sirius get his stuff. We decided he might be better off staying with someone else for s little. No insult to you of course but it may be good to be out of the family spotlight for a while." He laughed.

Reggie slowly nodded, closing the door behind him, "Has he told you about the dinner tomorrow?" He almost seemed dazed.

Remus nodded.

"You don't have to come." He said.

He shook his head, "I want to." He clapped his hands together, "Now let's get your things together shall we!"

While he loaded the last bag into his car (there wasn't much at all), Reggie pulled me into a corridor and pretty much gave me a lecture. "Don't fuck him!"

"I'm not going to fuck him?!" I acted bewildered as if I wasn't just dreaming of it only a mere few hours ago.

"I mean it Sirius! He could get ruined for this!" He scolded but then his tone softened, "And I don't want you to get hurt, not again. We all know what will happen."

"I'll drink myself to death." I finished his sentence, "I know, I know. And I won't!"

His eyes narrowed, "And try not to give him too much trouble." He pleaded.

"I won't, I won't." I smiled, "Thank you for letting me stay here recently, it really means a lot."

Reggie nodded, "No problem, I'm glad you're getting better."

As I walked out the door I said, "Thank you! Bye."

And he shouted after me, "Don't forget dinner tomorrow!"

"I won't!" And after that the door was closed.

Father Lupin turned to me, "Yi ready to go?" His smile melted me.

I nodded, "Yeah, let's go."
