Hiding

[kiki_eng]

It occurs to me that I may have done some excessive capitalisation there, but no mind.

So, this is the second drabble to come out of this week's prompt over at sirius_remus100 and I think there's at least one more there, possibly, two.  It's really quite disturbing and means that I'm going to have to choose one from these.  Though, if I never finish another from this it won't be a problem...

Anyway, that's where this is from, and that is all.

Title: Hiding

Word Count: 100
Prompt: PJ Harvey - A Place Called Home

Characters: Remus Lupin, Sirius Black

 Rating: PG

Disclaimer: Fan Fiction and all that goes with that.  Additionally, look at the prompt, one of the lines isn't mine just as none of the characters are, also: sometimes I write something that seems eerily familiar - this is one of those times, please, let me know if you sense it, too, please?  (Usually this section is much shorter, really.)

There’s a haunting darkness that echoes in the sound of his clock when he wakes, dreams fading into the corners of his room.

There’s a pair of laughing grey eyes hiding in his copy of Defensive Magical Theory, a Quidditch scar in the wood grain of his bedside table, and a blinding and devastating smile lurking in his grungy closet.

Remus knows better than anyone that the monsters hiding under your bed are real, especially the imaginary ones.

“One day there’ll be a place for us,” Sirius whispers.

He pulls the blanket up, over his head, and waits for morning.
