Meretricious | Professor Lupin

58. Search and rescue

Spencer placed her palm on the side of Remus' face, running her thumb up and down across his cheek bone.

"Couldn't sleep?" he yawned.

"How'd you know?"

"You're rarely awake before me, plus you're a heavy sleeper. It takes a lot for you to wake up" he opened his eyes.

"Yeah... couldn't sleep"

Remus brought her body closer, placing kisses on her neck.

Spencer chuckled at the feeling.

"So, ready to talk?"

"I don't know what to say" she shrugged.

"How about we start off with how you're really feeling" he ran his hand through her hair.

"Like shit" she admitted. "It'll pass, don't worry" she smiled.

"I'll always worry about you" he shook his head.

"Well don't worry about this" she nodded. "Harry is enough" she chuckled.

"Harry, Harry" he shook his head with a smile.

"Do you want to know what he said to me?"

"What did he say?"

"I was mad and wanted him to leave but he wouldn't budge. He was all like 'Shoot and kill me with your words Spencer, but I am not leaving you'" she recited. "Pretty sure he read that somewhere" he chuckled.

"Do your words shoot to kill when you're mad?" Remus asked.

"You heard what I said to my father" she nodded.

"Yeah" he realized.

"So did he, you know?" she played with his hair.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, that's why-"

"We think you're suicidal" he finished for her.

Spencer smiled awkwardly. "We also ate Chinese food for dinner" she added.

"I'd rather not ask how you got Chinese food" he chuckled.

"He asked about you"

"Regarding?"

"More specifically your role as my boyfriend" she chuckled.

"Ah" he smirked.

"He just wants to know everything" she chuckled.

"He's a kid and he loves you. Of course he does" he kissed her. "Ready to take on the day?" he whispered.

"Ready as I'll ever be" she nodded.

"Have breakfast with me?" he asked as he sat up.

"Do you even have any food here?"

He shrugged.

Spencer scrunched her nose.

"I'll make breakfast shirtless" he rolled his eyes.

"Okay" she smiled.

"Hello" Snape said as she walked into his classroom.

"Hey" she sat down.

He continued to do his work.

Spencer looked around his classroom. "Do you feel bad for me?"

"Would you like me to feel bad for you?" he asked.

"Yeah, just a little" she answered with a shrug.
