Characters: Sirius Black, open
Setting: World's End Pub
Content: TBD
Status: Public : Complete
Sirius let himself into his house just after 5 pm, tired and with a head full of magical incantations from debriefing Kingsley. He took a long, hot shower and dressed as he normally did in jeans and a dark t-shirt, only running his fingers through his hair before locking up again. The walk to the World's End cleared some of the clustering enchantments from his head, the fresh air soothing and cooler as the sun began to set on the horizon.
He found a table near the windows and took a seat, content to wait until the barmaid came by to take his order.

The only woman he really knew these days was Lily and she had always been an open parchment to him. "What about it? Merlin's beard, woman, what do you want me to say? I gave you space, whatever that bloody well means."
Sirius sighed, swallowing hard. He wasn't the kind of guy who put his heart out on his sleeve. He wasn't even sure it was his heart that was doing the primary talking here, but he knew he missed her. "I miss you. I think about what we couldn't... do, when there was no magic."

Date: 2013-09-15 11:00 am (UTC)…which apparently was also what had been on Sirius’ mind. Or at least the physical aspect of it. “I miss you, too,” she whispered and swallowed down. “So fucking much you wouldn’t believe it, especially with the way I’ve acted.” Even she could see that. “I think about that, too, and about how I’m grateful that if it had to happen, there’s nobody else I could imagine to ever have gone through that with but you.” And then there were all those other thoughts that kept coming to her. Like how she wanted to tell him everything but hadn’t and couldn’t because it was not how she did things. It wasn’t how she had ever done things. This was her problem, her business and it was hers alone to deal with. Nobody else’s, and she would never expect Sirius, or anybody else for that matter, to help her with it. Wasn’t that what she had experienced her whole life? Life was tough, but you dealt with it, and if you really needed help it was your family that helped you, and in lieu of those you dealt with it yourself. You didn’t pry in other people’s life and in return they didn’t snoop in yours. Oh, but how she wanted to tell Sirius everything right now. “I asked you for space because I needed to… to deal with some things, come to terms with them. I’ve no secrets, Sirius, I just don’t know how much I can or should tell you, because they're my concerns to deal with.”

"Son of a... dammit," he growled, pulling the datapad out and glancing at it before sighing in frustration. "Look, I have to go. There's been an incident at the dock. But this isn't over, all right?"
He lifted her hand to his lips, pressing a quick kiss there, before standing, waiting just long enough for her nod of understanding before he disapparated.
