Chapter 11

Logan knocked on the door quickly before he could change his mind. He'd never been this far into town before and it was freaking him out. The door opened a little bit and all Logan could see was about half of a green eye.

"What?" Remus whined. Logan scrambled for the remedy in his bag and nearly dropped it. Did he always have to get so clumsy when he was nervous?

"Um, I made this. It's a medicine, I thought it might help Roman get better." He said, holding the little bottle out to Remus. Remus looked at it suspiciously.

"What's in it?" He asked. "I'm not giving any of your magic shit to Ro unless I know everything about it."

"Oh, it's, um, it's not magic. Just herbs really. It's basil, cloves and mint." Logan said. Remus raised an eyebrow.

"Basil, cloves and mint for what?" He prompted.

"Oh! Um, well, cloves numb pain. I just- I didn't know about the symptoms so I thought better safe than sorry. So, if there's any pain, the cloves should help with that." Logan explained. "And mint stimulates the brain, helps get things moving so the body can better fight off illness and basil helps fight the cold too." Logan held the medicine out again. "There's also a bit of honey, just to sweeten the taste. There, that's everything."

Remus raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing Logan. "I promise." Logan said. "That's really everything in the medicine."

Remus rolled his eyes and took the little bottle. "Fine."

Logan rocked backwards and forwards on his heels. "You don't like me, do you?" He asked.

"What?" Remus asked. "I mean, kinda. Look, I don't like a lot of people. I'm not sure about you so..." He trailed off into a shrug. "Anyway, if this makes my brother worse, I will hunt you down and I will kill."

"How is Roman?" Logan asked, clasping his hands behind his back. Remus hesitated before answering.

"He's fine."


"Ro, your boyfriend stopped by!" Remus yelled, running up the stairs when he was sure Logan had gone.

"My what?!"

"Your boyfriend!" Remus repeated. "Guy with the glasses!"

"I- wh- tuh- Logan's not my b-boyfriend." Roman protested and Remus was sure if he walked into the bedroom now, he'd see a very flustered Roman.

"Really?"

"Yes, really!"

"You sure talk about him enough for him to be your boyfriend." Remus said. "Not to mention the fact that you won't let any of us give him back his coat-"

"He gave it to me and I'll give it back!" Remus laughed at the pettiness in Roman's voice. "Why'd he stop by?"

Remus shrugged and opened the door. He plonked the medicine bottle down on the table. "Some medicine thing. Your boyfriend-"

"Logan." Roman insisted.

"Your boyfriend Logan," Remus laughed at Roman's face, "Your boyfriend Logan said one spoonful after every meal should help you get better."

Roman bit the inside of his cheek, looking down. "He made something for me?"

Remus rolled his eyes. "Yeah, duh. Why else d'you think I was talking about him?" Remus smothered a grin at Roman's slightly hopeful face. "You know, maybe he likes you back." Remus put his hands in the air. "Just a thought."

The first, like, 15 chapters go really slowly and I'm worried I'm going to use up all my plot before I get to the 15 chapter mark but... we'll see.
Bye,
Blaize
