On different sides of the world

Remus POV

When I woke up this morning, I had the feeling it was going to be a brilliant day. I felt it as Sirius kissed me goodbye before he went to work, I felt it as I took a long hot bath and made myself some breakfast. I could almost grasp the utter magnificence of today with my fingertips as I turned over the worn yellow pages of my forgotten cooking book in search for a nice recipe for tonight.

Yes, I Remus John Lupin, being a complete woman, was going to fix a nice dinner for my man.

We've just been so stressed lately. Dumbledore has me researching on a whole bunch of crap, as usual. And Sirius, well, he's an Auror, what more can I say about that?

I've been skimming through my book for over ten minutes now and I've finally found the perfect meal.

Grilled spiny lobster with mousseline potatoes, and chocolate crêpes for dessert.

I squeal happily and get ready for a day of shopping. First, the docks to get a pair of fresh lobsters. I heard somewhere that lobsters mate for life; just like werewolves, just like Siri and I.

I pick the prettiest ones (well as pretty as raw fish can be) and head to the supermarket.

Sirius never understood my fascination for muggle London; All the lights and sounds and the incredible amount of energy that floats in the air. A different kind of magic.

And luckily for us, everyone is always in such a hurry, the rest of the world passes in a blur right in front of them. A phone booth that glides underground every few minutes, a barrier that swallows an entire family and their belongings, a man who touches a trash can and disappears. They really see only what they want to.

I hum to myself as I tick the items off the list and toss them in the kart.

A blond woman who stands behind me in line smiles flirtatiously at me, she then looks at my outfit and sighs miserably. I think I hear her mutter something like 'too fashion to be straight'.

My clothes are way straighter than this, thankfully, I decided to wear Sirius' clothes today. I really didn't want to deal with the whole 'I'm not interested' conversation., perhaps I should get a ring, so I could just lift it and say 'sorry, married' and maybe i should get one for Sirius too, I don't like how they eye him at work. Those floozies!

I open the door to our flat and leave the groceries on the kitchen counter. I love cooking specially for my love. It's been a few months now and I'm tired of eating sandwiches everyday.

I'm cooking and I feel like one of those guys in movies; dancing around the kitchen, spreading flour everywhere and singing some silly love song. If someone were to film me right now I'm sure people would be actually jealous of me.

My dinner is beautiful. Everything went according to plan.

I cast a warming charm on the table to keep the food warm until Sirius gets here; I light two candles and place them at both ends of the table.

As a werewolf, my intuition is nearly always reliable. But today, it betrayed me.

I hear the locks on the door turning and fidgeting a bit. I try to open it before he does so I can give him a kiss but the door bursts open in my face.

"Fuck!"

I blink surprised when Sirius comes inside, dripping wet and cold. But his coat isn't the only thing that's cold. His eyes are icy, vacant. I then try to take his umbrella but he just flings me to the side. I swallow my anger and turn to face him.

"God I had such a bloody fucked up day!" He stumps over to the couch before taking a second glance at me or the table. I watch him flop down and close his eyes, rubbing his temples. Good thing I made dinner then, I could cheer him up a bit. I stand behind his seat and hug him, burying my face in his neck. "I made dinner Siri"

He's way too mad. He shrugs me off and stands up. "Remus I'm tired, I'm going to bed"

I can't believe he did that.

I stand there, frozen, and blink back tears. I look over at the table and whisper pathetically "But-but I made dinner"

I hear the bedroom door open and close loudly and I flinch, closing my eyes.

When I lie down on the couch I don't even try to stop the tears from flowing. I can't sleep with him, not like this, not in the same room.

So I stay on the couch, crying until sleep takes over me.

Want to know why Sirius' day was so crappy? Want a happy ending? Leave a review and I'll post it! hehe. It's a two shot, btw. But I can still make Remus leave the house or something and then they won't live happily ever after so…your call!

:D
