Beauty and the Stinky Boi (Remus x Reader)

Chapter 4

         I woke up ate and headed to Thomas'. Once I was let in I saw there was a big fight. Remus was clutching something in his hands and Virgil and Roman were yelling at him. "What's going on?" I asked Thomas. "Well... Remus came and wouldn't tell us why he was here, so Roman and Virgil started yelling at him to leave and now are in a big fight." He looked over at the three. I went over to stop them. "Ladies, ladies, you're all pretty! Please stop fighting now!" I say loud enough for them to hear. "He is here and we don't want him here!" Roman and Virgil said in union. "You should let him stay and give him a chance." I calmly say. They started arguing again and Remus told them to stop."I'll leave..." He then turned to me and I was honestly confused. "but I need to give (Y/N) back the rose key chain she dropped in my room." He said handing it to me. I looked at it baffled. I had gotten it from my mom, who got it from her mom, and it went far down the line. We called it the Rose of love because It always fell off when our forever lover was near and they always picked it up and gave it back. It happened to all of them and now it was happening to me.

Soon Remus left and I sat on the couch pondering if what just happened was real. "Uh, (Y/N)? You seem out of it... is something wrong?" I looked up and wanted to tell Thomas so bad, but... the others I didn't want to tell just yet."I-I..." I was somewhat shaking and was having trouble. I soon pulled out my phone and texted him saying I would tell him, but wasn't ready to tell the others. After he received it he nodded and asked the others to leave for a few minutes. Once they left he sat down and asked again. I told him the whole story."This key chain has been in my family for years... my mom gave it to me on my sixteenth birthday. She then told me the stories and gave me the book that had everyone's story. The stories usually start with the Rose falling off of the lady. After it falls off the forever lover, as we call them, picks it up and finds us. For my mom, hers fell of in a public place and my dad only found her by a gut feeling. She knew it was hers because of the engraved words on the back 'The Rose of Love' and the fact it had the last name of its first holder in my family." Thomas sat there and continued to listen.

"I just have a sliver of trust in their stories and never thought it to be true. I have looked over how the Roes could fall off and had great explanations, but... yesterday I had it stuck on to my belt loop. It's been stuck on it for a year. It fell off in his room... It was a mess and I would have though I would have noticed it gone. It was in his room and he brought it back to me." I finished. He looked at me somewhat questioningly and asked,"So do you think Remus... is you're true love?" I looked up knowing I wasn't ready for real love, I was only twenty-six. Yeah everyone else was ready but not me. "I...I don't know..." He gave me a reassuring hug and let me stay like that for a while. "I don't know what will happen if it's a true story... and if it's not true... I would have fallen for the hoax of my family." I said in a slight whisper. "Well... what do you want to do about the others? Do you want me to tell them, do you, and if you do fall for him and he hurts you I'm here, I'll always be here for you." His words were calming and I felt safe. I pulled back and told him,"I know what they think of him... I'd rather not let them know, but thank you."
