Scarred

[Remus Lupin]

"Isn't he just? He's really full of himself."

"Oh come on, how could anyone resist this face?" Mika grins, ballooning his cheeks, crossing his eyes and touching his nose with his tongue.

[Angela Wood]

I giggle. "You know, he's right. How could anyone resist that?"

[Remus Lupin]

"Oh, I manage well enough." I smile.

"Just keep telling yourself." Mika nudges me in the ribs. "We all know you're very attracted to me."

[Angela Wood]

"Remus, do you have something that you need to share with us?"

[Remus Lupin]

"I have some dignity." I pull a face. "Give me some credit Ange, if I was, not him!"

"Catch you in the broom cupboard later darlin." Mika winks at me.

"Spare me." I say, shoving him lightly.

[Angela Wood]

"Don't worry Remus. I would never think that you were interesting in that." I point at Mika. "But Sirius on the other hand..."

[Remus Lupin]

"What? Interested in Sirius?" I pull an even worse face. "Come on!"

"Oh Sirius...now Remus, what will your mother say?!" Mika smirks. "And what do you mean 'that'? You can't tell me I'm not a little appealing."

[Angela Wood]

"I'm only joking, Remus, and you know it." I look at Mika, looking him up and down, and shrug."I've seen worse."

[Remus Lupin]

"Seen better?" He smirks.

[Angela Wood]

"Let me think about that." I put a finger to my chin. "Yes."

[Remus Lupin]

"Aw...come on, who?" Mika grins.

I roll my eyes, knowing this would go on for a while.

[Angela Wood]

I scoff at him. "You actually think I'm going to tell you?"

[Remus Lupin]

"Puh-lease..." He smiles hopefully, putting on puppy dog eyes.

I make retching noises.

He reaches back and smacks me round the head again, still smiling innocently, hopefully at Ange.

[Angela Wood]

I shake my head and lay down, resting my head on Remus's knee. "Sorry. I don't talk about other guys with guys."

[Remus Lupin]

"I'm going to sulk now." Mika declares, crossing his arms over his chest.

I shift around to let Ange lean on my knee more comfortably and look at him. "How old are you?"

"About 3 and a half months older than you." He smirks smugly.

[Angela Wood]

"Really? I would have thought about 12 years younger than him." I stick my tongue out at Mika.

[Remus Lupin]

"You're just like him, you know that?" Mika says, nodding at me. "Uses insults as a sign of affection."

"I don't think that's it Mika." I chuckle. "See, sometimes people use insults and actually mean them as insults."

"You don't. You're my ally, remember? You must love me really, you just use insults to cover it."

[Angela Wood]

I laugh and look up at Remus then back at Mika. "No, I'm not just like him. Trust me. I use insults as a joke. Plus. I'm much better looking than him."

[Remus Lupin]

"Oh, I'm wounded." I laugh. "Don't worry I know I'm the eye-sore in the room."

"Too right." Mika laughs.

[Angela Wood]

I look at him wtih a pretend sad face. "Oh, I mean that in the nicest way possible."

[Remus Lupin]

"Of course you do." I smile, shaking my head sadly. "I've been wounded very deeply now. I have no idea how I'm going to go on."

"No, Remus, you must!" Mika declares dramatically. "For how shall I complete our quest should you be vanquished before your time-..."

"Quiet!" I say loudly over the top of him. "Do not speak of imaginary quests you fool!"

"I was talking about-..."

I give him a look.

"My imagination has run away with me again, I see." He says sadly. "My fair lady and er...fair gentlemen who isn't my fair gentlemen or all that fair, I apologise most heartily."

[Angela Wood]

I laugh. "Thou art fools but amusing fools art thou."

[Remus Lupin]

"My humblest appreciations, dear lady." Mika says, taking her hand and kissing it. "Tis my duty to be a fool, and an amusing fool is naught but a bonus."

I smack my hand to my head. "I'm very sorry, Ange. He can't control his hormones. Has to flirt or he'll die. I'm going to get you neutered Mika, then maybe you'll behave yourself."

"You're a fine one to talk Remus." He smirks, then looks around innocently at the glare I was shooting him.

[Angela Wood]

This makes me laugh harder. "You guys are awsome."

[Remus Lupin]

"And don't we know it." Mika grins widely. "He's the charmismatic of the two of us, as you can tell..."

"Ha ha." I say dryly. "A lot of things I may be, but charmisma is something I do not have."

"You do, you've just burried it...very deep...under layers of neurosis and insecurities...but tis there! I know it!" He insists, then says to Ange. "Don't you think?"

[Angela Wood]

I nod solemnly. "Oh, yes. Burried not only by insecurities and neurosis but also by a serious need for attention."

[Remus Lupin]

"Oh yeah, attention seeker if ever I saw one." Mika nods, "Apart from his constant need to blend into walls whenever people walk by..."

"You know, feel free to talk about my many personality failings right in front of me guys." I laugh.

[Angela Wood]

I reach up and pat his cheek. "Don't worry, Remus."

[Remus Lupin]

"I'm not worried, I'm used to him spinning off a load of psycho babble about how I'm insecure or something, but you, Ange, I am shocked." I say, mock sadly.

[Angela Wood]

"Oh, I'm sorry Remus." I sit up and kiss him on the cheek, then lay back down. "All better." I grin brightly.
