Remus Doesn’t Know

AN: yesterday was my 169th post and I didn’t even realize I’m so fucking upset

CW: mild swearing

Broken and Remus lazed around for the rest of the night, watching movies and cuddling and kissing I dunno. “Alright, think it’s bedtime for you..” Broken smiled. Remus was falling asleep against his side, happily wrapped up in his jacket. “Not tired..” he huffed.

”I know you’re not baby, but it’s late..” he stood up, leaving Remus with the jacket while he cleaned up their dishes. He went back into the living room and picked him up carefully, carrying Remus upstairs. He works out exclusively to be able to carry people around. Broken laid him down in the bed, kissing the side of his head. He changed into pyjamas lazily and crawled under the covers.

Then ed the chair was still downstairs. But Remus was asleep, and he was already upstairs, and it was late, he was tired. Yeah Broken ended up convincing himself he could just get it later it’s fine. The dogs hopped up and laid down with them, or rather on Broken, curling up happily.

Broken woke up sometime during the night and rolled over, blinking at the clock. It was some time around 2 in the morning. He yawned and sat up, trudging downstairs to get a drink. He padded into the kitchen and got the water jug out of the fridge, drinking right from that. Broken went back upstairs and settled into bed again, cuddling up with Remus.

But he had the feeling he was forgetting something. Maybe he was supposed to do important paperwork at home? No he never took work home no matter how important. Had the dogs eaten? Definitely, he would have known well before if they hadn’t. Broken shook his head and closed his eyes, writing it off as something small.

”The fucking giants..” he sat up with a start, then immediately held his side and laid back down. Messed up ribs and all. He couldn’t really very well if they’d gotten away, but considering he could barely walk home it was a safe bet. He sighed and stared up at the ceiling. If he left the house again, at least tonight, Remus may never pet between his ears again.

Then again, Remus didn’t have to know.
