The Bite Of A Wolf

Chapter 16

Recap: Remus was startled at the words, still not used to them. "I love you too, Hades." He said and fell into a deep sleep next to his mate.

Now:

When Hadrian woke up, Remus was still asleep.

He listened for a moment to see if the others were up yet.

Hearing nothing, he gently moved his mate off him and headed to the kitchen.

Once there he poured a mug of coffee and sat down, summoning a book to him.

When Remus woke, he was alone. He felt the side next to him and found it cold.

He sighed and ran a tired hand through his sandy colored hair.

He willed himself up and padded to the loo.

He turned on the shower and stripped, looking in the mirror.

He had three hickeys on his neck, each one a ugly purple-ish color.

Remus rolled his eyes and promised to get Hadrian back later.

As he stepped into the shower, last night's events flooded his mind.

The talk with Sirius and James, talking with Hadrian, sleeping, waking up, being snogged senseless, and going back to sleep.

After a quick wash, he dressed into muggle clothes and headed to the kitchen.

As soon as he entered, Hadrian's eyes snapped up and his jaw dropped.

"What?" He asked cautiously, after James and Sirius had the same reaction.

"Have fun last night Moony?" Sirius inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"Wh-" Remus snapped his mouth shut once he realized what they were staring at.

He hadn't realized that the muggle tank-top didn't cover the hickeys on his neck.

He blushed and hurried over to the stove, ignoring the laughter behind him.

He grinned when he saw what had been made.

Chocolate chip pancakes, sausage, and chocolate milk. His favorite.

He sat down and wolfed down the food, ignoring the looks he got.

He jumped when a hand gripped his leg and looked up.

"Slow down. It's not gonna run away." Hadrian said, smirking at him.

He smiled sheepishly and continued eating, much slower this time.

"So what are the plans for today?" Sirius asked when he had finished.

Hadrian shrugged. "I'll probably spend some time in the garden and with Moony. Maybe go out later." He said.

Remus nodded. "I don't really have anything planned." He agreed.

James frowned. "I have to do some paperwork for the Ministry. It'll take most of the day." He said, groaning.

"I have nothing to do." Sirius said shortly.

James chuckled and placed his plate in the sink. "You can help me." He said with a wink.

Hadrian gagged. "Please, there are innocent eyes and ears." He said, cringing.

"Since when are you innocent?!" Remus asked.

" I was talking about you Remus. You don't need to hear or see that." He said like it was obvious.

Remus scowled. "I'll have you know, I'm not innocent!" He argued.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Hadrian said and dodged a rather nasty jinx.

There you go! So I'm an idiot. I had hot sauce sitting next to my drink and grabbed it. I ended up with a mouth full of hot sauce. It was horrible.
