BRIDGET HOUSE february, 1980
𝗦𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗟𝗜𝗟𝗬'𝗦 𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗧𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗔𝗧 𝗡𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧. She found Sirius with an empty bottle of wine in his hand as he sat by the dining table with a few candles lighting up the room. Drunk Sirius was something she did not have the energy to tolerate at the moment. "I was waiting for you." He bitterly uttered.
"I was with Lily," Said Scarlet, putting her stuff down.
"It was your day off and I thought that we could... I thought you'd be here— I waited for you." He stumbled over his words lightly, and found it humiliating.
"Let's just go to bed." She pursed her lips, approaching him as he stood up and opened the kitchen cabinet to find another bottle of drink.
"Yeah, you'd love that, wouldn't you?" He slammed the cabinet door loudly enough to make her eyes go wide and her body jump in a startle. In one swift movement, she leaned forward and snatched away the new bottle he took out, watching it slip away from his fingers. She settled it down on the countertop. "Give it back. I won't ask again." He said with a warning, stern glare.
"I'm asking to come to bed because we're both tired," she said in a gentle voice. Normally, her words felt like honey sweeping off her tongue and he would have a sudden urge to kiss her. However, he felt quite the opposite at the moment.
"Of course, you're tired." He rolled his eyes, looking away with annoyance.
"Sirius, stop being so bitter, for Salazar's sake." She arched a perplexing brow. "Why are you acting like this? Have I done something to you?" It was a firm tone that she used and it only seemed to make him act more defensive.
"'Cause it doesn't seem like we're in a relationship anymore. I'm chasing you around all day to spend some time together and you pretend like you're better off being alone."
"You're chasing me around?" She raised a brow and a humourless chuckle left her lips. "I have been begging you to look at me for the past five months, I've been begging for a little bit of your love."
