Every Day Chapter 4 Sneak Peek

“I died.”

Remus nearly dropped his wand in surprise.

Not because he actually believed the words or their underlying insanity.  As far as he was aware, no spell had the ability to reanimate a corpse, and his nose would have definitely picked up on the cloying scent of recent decay suffusing their shared flat had he been speaking with one, anyway.  

It was clear to him the phrase was metaphorical in some manner.  It just so happened to be the last thing he ever anticipated coming out of his roommate’s mouth, especially when spoken with that same almost whispered reverence he’d heard back in the Potter’s living room a little over a week prior.  

And that was odd, in its own right, but odder yet that he knew with almost equal certainty that somewhere in their hallowed walls housed the whole, messy truth.  Or the truth as Sirius believed it, which was as good as the very same thing.

If it raised far more questions than it did any actual answers, he’d have to wait to ask them a little while longer, the moment to do so sooner ebbing out of reach when he then caught the sound of a door creaking open someplace several yards away and spared a brief glance over the other’s shoulder in time to watch James stumble through looking about as drained as he’d ever seen him.

Sirius followed his gaze and immediately took off before he had the chance to voice his command to remain put or risk losing something in the process, huffing a sigh out through his nose and stuffing his wand back into his coat pocket with the intention to table to conversation for a time they weren’t lingering in polite society. 

As he would have done from the start had his emotions not gotten the better of him at the worst possible moment.

It wasn’t entirely his fault.  The week leading up to the full moon was always a rockier period of adjustment while the wolf he kept contained the remainder of the time slowly but surely picked the lock on its cage all the while snarling at him and everyone around it demanding to be set free.  

That, coupled with the fact he’d been awoken at the arse crack of dawn by a stag zipping into his bedroom to alert him of the situation and request his presence as soon as possible would have put him into a foul mood no matter who he stumbled upon in the halls.  It was simply his great misfortune that his mouth had a mind of its own when faced with the opportunity to lash out at the one person who had been causing the rest of him unparalleled grief for weeks on end.

At least now he’d have an excuse to give chase should the idiot attempt to flee after he’d made it perfectly clear he wasn’t opposed to the use of force to get his way.  Though something told him his roommate was about as relieved by the encounter as he felt in the aftermath still riding high on the burst of adrenaline and the residual fumes of his previous ire.

Hopefully that didn’t change any after they heard the news about their friend’s condition.  If it did, well.  He’d cross that bridge when it came to it.

How is Keith a Slytherin?

I like to think a common misconception about any sorting is most people have the capacity for any of them should they feel comfortable in that setting. As far as my story went, that's where he was most comfortable at the time. But if you want a more in-depth reasoning, I thought it was important to showcase the perception of light and dark, good and evil, adding nuance where there isn't much in a world that sees everything as black and white more or less and views Slytherin as the worst of the worst. Could Keith have been a Gryffindor because he's brave and hot headed and cares about justice no matter what? Sure. He could have easily been a Hufflepuff, too, because he's fiercely loyal and values the relationships he creates, although not to the same extent as, say, Hunk and Lance. Pidge could have easily been Slytherin because she's cunning, and if I have any regrets, it's that I didn't put her there to support Keith better, but I digress. Keith is in Slytherin because he needed to be the proof we are what we choose to be above all else. Just like he's canonically half Galra and chooses to fight for the good of the universe. And I also personally believe it's where he fits best. Hopefully that answers your question, but if not, feel free to ask away.

“Unfortunately, as I’m sure you’ve already noticed, the pool is closed to the general public for a lesson for the next hour, hour-and-a-half,” he explained as he gestured off to the group no doubt watching their every interaction with rapt attention and vicious whispers shared under their breath for the ongoing disturbance creeping into their future funtime. “But if you wanted to come back around four-ish, we’ll resume our free swim at that time. Just don’t come later than six, or I’ll have to turn you away again for another class that goes until seven, with the pool itself closing for the night at seven thirty sharp.”

”I’m not—“ Keith attempted to explain his presence at least somewhat rationally.

Before he had the chance to finish the thought, the man resumed jumping to conclusions that found his face burning with a renewed vigor that rivaled the sun’s chaotic glow. ”Oh,” he gasped, blue eyes blown wide and newly apologetic, flicking to the place just past his shoulder and back again in quick succession. “I’m sorry, we don’t get many fathers showing up to support their kiddos. I’m Lance, the swimming instructor. I take it your son is my newest student Keith?”

Attention all you Klance shippers:

I almost never do this, but seeing as I'll be posting everything once it's fully written, here's a teaser of my current 'this is just a quick thing I'll write up to help me shake off the writer's block funk' that now has a mind of its own and will definitely be a mini fic by the end of it considering its already 13k and counting

-------------------

Keith slid the catch pan underneath the bike’s engine and loosened the bolt holding the drain plug, watching for a beat as the thick, gooey liquid cascaded into the container with a wet, squelching plop.

“—So then I mentioned wanting to look into maybe doing some kind of charity work this summer, and Adam suggested I sign up for the race he’s volunteering for to help raise money for the new children’s cancer ward they want to build to replace that old wing the hospital stopped using over a decade ago.”

“Ah.”

Affixing his wrench over the place the filter was located next, he got to work removing the spent part with a quick flick or two of the wrist, careful not to get his favorite pair of gloves completely soaked in the process when the small portion of oil that had been trapped inside began to seep out along the edges—a few splatters of which made their way onto floor before he had the chance to capture them in full.

Not that the cement was anything close to pristine prior to the mishap.  And nothing a good pressure wash wouldn’t rectify.  If he actually remembered to get around to doing it this time on his way out the door…

“I told him I’d love to, of course; and then he asked whether I knew of anyone else who’d be willing to enter, even for one of the shorter bouts.  The higher the number of participants on our team, the better the donations the hospital receives from their sponsors, and I said I’d see what I could do to persuade some of the people I know who are into that sort of thing…”

“Mm.”

Wiping off the plug with a mostly-clean rag, Keith reattached it once the drainage had all but ceased its syrupy flow, doing much the same with the area that housed the filter as well as what little remained on the outer region of the drain hole.  

“Allura already knows she can’t make it that weekend—confrence in New York or something like that—so Romelle kindly offered to give it a go in her stead.  I’ve got a few others from the gym tentatively interested, but you know as well as I do how flaky meatheads can be.”

“Uh huh.”

“Which brings me to the reason for my visit.”  Shiro paused then, likely waiting to see whether he’d turn around and actually engage in the conversation for a change, or if it wouldn’t end up being the one-sided variety through to the end of his shift.  

The trouble with that was, Keith had already become far too engrossed in making sure the replacement filter received the proper amount of lubrication necessary to obtain a tight seal to turn around and force what little remained of his attention back onto the note of hopeful encouragement laced in his friend’s tone.  Or really anything that wasn’t doing his job to the best of his ability, for that matter.  An achievement he’d yet to slip up in for all of the eight-or-so years he’d been running the garage all by his lonesome after taking over for the previous owner when the man decided it was finally time to move on to greener pastures.

If Shiro craved a slightly more enthralled conversational partner, he knew better than to try him during business hours.  As it stood, it was all he could do to catch the gist of what was being said and respond in kind.  

A beat passed, and then a pair of green scrub-clad legs walked into his peripheral and hovered dangerously close to the still-open bottle of fresh oil he’d placed at his side, effectively drawing his gaze up to where the man attached was giving him his best rendition of puppy dog eyes.

Huffing a sigh out through his nose, Keith replaced the cap and rose to his feet, rubbing the remnants of the pinkish-red liquid smearing the tips of his fingers onto his already heavily grease-stained Carhartts.  “You’ve got five minutes,” he drawled, glancing at the clock above the office door and noting the hour as just after three in the afternoon.  

Two more left until closing, and he still had another car to diagnose before he’d feel good about leaving for the day.  Time really was of the essence if he hoped to both hit the gym on his way home and grab takeout from the Thai place down the street.  Most nights, they didn't stay open long if no one frequented their establishment past six-ish.  

“After that, I’m going back to my real work.  You know.  The thing we all do to pay the bills?”

Every Day Chapter 3 Sneak Peek

Leaning back against the rough stone of the abandoned building, Sirius exhaled the smoke out of his lungs and flicked his grey eyes up to the wide expanse of stars twinkling overhead, searching out the constellations he could still recall from what felt like a lifetime ago.

Astronomy had never really been his strong suit.  Too closely linked with his family heritage to ever warrant his undivided attention, and far too late of a class time during his later school years to justify taking even if he wanted the excuse to prowl the halls long after most students were forced inside their common spaces for curfew.  Plus it was undeniably boring work learning all the many names of various celestial bodies that already had disappointed, sneering faces attached to them.

The night sky itself, however.  That part made a bit more sense to him the longer he gazed up into the promise of spiraling infinity and found himself still thankfully small against the backdrop of yet another moonless evening.  Just a pinprick of destiny amidst the vast endlessness of quiet space.  

Almost relieving enough that his next sharp extraction off the cigarette in his hand was somewhat cleansing in nature, the corresponding release of the portion that hadn’t found a way to sink down into his bloodstream a means of letting go.

Things had been rather complicated in the weeks following his first attempt at dodging the greater portion of an alternative narrative for both himself and those around him.  Namely in the feeling like an absolute wanker department, although he continued to hold fast to the idea of some kind of good ascending from the rubble of his self-imposed misery the closer he crept toward the inescapable point of no return.

If he spent too long thinking about the horrible loss aspect of the equation, he was certain to never again leave his bedroom, let alone take the steps necessary to place one foot in front of the other no matter where the path he’d begun forging led him in the long term.  Even if that place saw nothing and no one until the end of his days.  Even if he had to drape the memories of a simpler time around himself like a blanket of slim comfort, at least he could raise his head to the sky with the knowledge he’d done the right thing.

For once in his selfish life, Sirius had made the correct choice and sacrificed his own happiness for the happiness of the people he loved more than anything in the world.  That had to count for something worthwhile.  Surely fate would allow for the brief imbalance until the scales found a way to adjust themselves accordingly and smooth out any rough edges left behind in the abrupt transfer?

And anyway, it wasn’t as if he was trying to be absent more often than not.  Closing the door on the opportunity to make the same cruel mistakes another version of him had carelessly thrown open was simply his penance to bear the brunt of no matter how terribly it festered in his heart.

Every Day Chapter 2 Sneak Peek

“Happy birthday, Sirius,” Remus mumbled to himself, setting the note back onto the table in the same place it had been left for him to find and dropping his head into his hands.

That there even was a note to speak of was at least a step up from total abandonment.  Not great, but it had to count for something of merit.  

At least his roommate planned on coming back.  Eventually.

Why he thought things might be a tiny bit different where the full moon was concerned was honestly beyond him.  Sirius hadn’t been present enough in their shared flat to have a proper conversation with for weeks, at that point, let alone gauge the likelihood he’d even show up after their last disastrous encounter left him feeling worse than ever before.  

It didn’t matter that he’d never missed one in all the years he’d promised to be there no matter what.  Even at the peak of their falling out, when Remus was hurt and angry, so convinced he’d never recover from the loss of trust created with a single mindless infraction, Padfoot still appeared at the edges of the forest waiting for the opportunity to be let back in as a source of fresh comfort.  If there had been anything in life he knew he could count on, it was that his friend would always be just that.  A friend.

Somewhere over the course of the past month, that had changed drastically.  Like a switch flicking from on to off, the disparity growing between the two of them felt as different to him as night and day.

The worst part was, he couldn’t even begin to pinpoint the reason with absolute certainty.  Maybe if he could, there'd be an answer waiting on the other side.  A way to go back.  Fix it. 

Nothing about their situation had changed any prior to the abrupt one-eighty.  They’d still been dancing around one another.  Touching too much.  Lingering too long.  Swaying into one another’s orbit like magnets set to the exact opposite charge.  And yet, never once in all that time—in all those minutes and seconds and hours of quiet intimacy that had crept their way toward the precipice of something tangible—did either one of them ever take the final leap and close the remaining distance.  

Call him an idiot if you must, but even as far back as that morning in the kitchen just before everything went to shite, he honestly never believed his feelings to be all that genuinely reciprocated.  

Perhaps he’d always been a little too close to the problem to really get a good view of the bigger picture.  Having something be a near-constant in your life would likely do that to anyone, no matter their level of intelligence in other areas.  Having Sirius always standing within arm’s reach left him thinking he was only imagining the way those grey eyes used to track his every movement with intense focus.  How could he believe anything less, when he had nothing more to base his claims on other than what had always been right in front of his face waiting for him to come notice it?

Would that he’d gotten the memo sooner rather than later, because the next thing he knew, it was gone in a flash.  Ripped out of his hands before he even understood the full extent of what had been placed there for safekeeping.

The sound of his name being spoken caused the look of mild annoyance the other wore to shift into something a tad more perplexed in nature, forehead wrinkling a bit as he regarded Steve with no uncertain amount of apprehension.

“Harrington,” he replied in that same near-mocking tone used far too often in their high school years, gaze sweeping from his head to his feet and back before quirking a pointed brow. “I don’t think I’ve heard that one from you yet. Feeling all right? You look a little… lost, there.”

“I—what? No. It’s just been—”

“Ages. I know,” he agreed with a wry smirk, arms extended out in a dramatic pose. “Still here, though. Hate to be the one to disappoint.” --------------- Or Steve has seen the future with his own eyes. Now that he's back in his body on the day everything with Vecna first began, he'd be remiss not to use said knowledge to change the outcome.
