Written for Stratego. Prompt - Your character has just bought an old chest of drawers and discovers a piece of paper stuck inside. What is written on that piece of paper.
Broken
"Sign here," the man said, thrusting a clipboard at Remus. He took the clipboard and quickly glimpsed at the writing before signing it.
"Thank you," he said to the man, passing it back, and seconds later the two men had left, closing the door behind them.
Remus' eyes fell on the old chest of drawers. It was beautiful - very sturdy. Not like the crap that the shops seemed to all sell.
He began to push it in the direction of the bedroom.
...
Remus finally finished getting the old chest out for collection the next day. He pushed the new chest of drawers into it's place and pulled open the bottom drawer and began filling it. It was nice to have a set that didn't have a broken drawer.
The stupid thing was only about a year old, it shouldn't have broken already. But he had high hopes for this second-hand one.
When Remus reached the top drawer, his eyes fell on a slip of paper stuck to the bottom of the drawer. He reached in and took it out.
Remus Lupin,
'I believe in miracles
Where you from, you sexy thing?
Sexy thing, you
I believe in miracles
Since you came along, you sexy thing
Oh, kiss me, you sexy thing
Touch me, baby, you sexy thing
Call me. Sirius Black.'
...
Remus took out his phone. This had to be the guy at the second-hand furniture store from the previous day. The one that kept leaning over a little too far and standing a little too close and slipping suggestive words into the conversation as Remus tried to purchase the drawers.
The man that left him very flustered when he escaped from there; the reason he had been planning on going back to the furniture shop in a few days.
'Of all the song lyrics or messages you could have written, you go with these?' He sent the message to the number provided.
'Of course. They had to be so bad, that you wouldn't be able to resist texting me to tell me so."
Remus smiled at the speed of the reply.
"Surely you can do better than those?"
"I will. Don't you worry. When we go out to dinner tonight, I'll have the perfect words to make you swoon in my arms. Text me where to pick you up from and wear something sexy and easy to remove.'
Remus stared at his phone. What had he gotten himself into?
Review please :)
