āI never should have fucking quit smokingā¦ā
It seemed that, rather than waking up at all hours of the morning, he just wouldnāt sleep instead. Perhaps heād just take walks to stay out of the land of Nod, and that way heād not have to deal with the bullshit that was his dreams. Who the fuck decided that fever dreams were a good idea when he wasnāt sick? And even worse, who said it was a good idea to have them centered around this godforsaken place? Sometimes he hated being a supernatural creature, because everything had some mystical meaning that he had to decipher. And thereās no way that dreams that called to this place could be anything but - so here he was, sleep-deprived, Del-deprived, and sanity-deprived, back on this hellhole of an island.
āAnd Iāll say it again, I never should have quit smokingā¦ā
He plopped down on a bench, feeling along its back to see if he actually had the right bench. No carving. āDamn, and I thought I could find it first tryā¦ah wellā¦ā Tilting his head up to the sky, he let out a drawn-out sigh and got to humming.
It couldnāt be... Qhuinn had been crossing the quad with Remus when suddenly the Samoyed stopped and looked up at her with a small whimper. At first she just gazed back down, confused, till it all seemed to hit her at once. The scent, the voice. The sight of him, searching the bench as if feeling around for a carving. Their carving, the one that they had done seemingly decades ago to seal their bond as The Fox and the Wolf. That memory, as well as so many others, flooded back to her as she nudged Remus into action and moved forward.
āNo..itās the one over there. More under the treeā Qhuinn spoke up as she finally moved closer, eyes round and already misting over at the sight of him. He was as handsome as ever, but something was..different. Brushing it off as just seeing him again after so long, she shook her head and closed the distance between them, sitting on the bench and not hesitating a moment before wrapping her arms around him tightly.
āHiā she giggled breathlessly, pressing her face into his neck as Remus jumped around them for attention.Ā āIām not dreaming am I?ā
