Ever since learning that Black performed at the club, Remus had taken to arrive for his appointments at the club earlier than he had previously. Not by a lot, still preferring to be in and out within the hour, but certainly enough time to skim over the performers, quite captured by the thought of suddenly finding Black among them.<br/>Remus had been unsuccessful when he last visited a few days ago but a week after their initial conversation, Remus thought to have seen him.<br/>Remus had been sitting at the bar, chatting with the bartender to pass time when the man excused himself to tend to a patron before they had even reached the bar. It had made Remus’ attention follow, sheer curiosity as to the perfectly trained dynamics the two exhibited. Finding it to be a performer, blonde and staggeringly tall, Remus thought it to be perfectly justified, and his attention would have once again drifted had the angle of the bar not flashed a perfect view of a tattooed chest.<br/>It immediately made Remus’ posture change, perked up with recognition. The rush of adrenaline that bled through his veins was hard to place, though Remus dismissed it as competitive satisfaction.<br/>Allowing Black to place his order without interruptions, Remus dissected his look from a distance. There was genuine interest in his gaze, intrigued every way Black didn’t look like himself. Black was probably not far off when he had joked to be good enough to become unrecognizable to Remus.<br/>As the bartender shifted aside to finish the order, Remus glanced to the room, a thoughtless attempt to place his date in the crowd. When he was nowhere to be found, he pushed himself off the bar to join his dormmate.<br/>Remus leaned against the bar beside him so close that their arms bumped when he crossed his arms on the bartop. Steadying himself against the bar , Remus turned to look Black. A bright grin was already on his lips when their eyes met, but something in his gaze brightened when his eyes dipped to Black’s exposed chest, the tattoos equally damning and spectacular.<br/>When he once looked up to meet Black’s eye, Remus’ smile was vicotrious and stupid.<br/>“Hi, teach.”
