No pain, no gain! (Remus/Draquesha)

[Draquesha Tonks]

"Er, well... ok?" Remus said awkwardly, "I-I haven't ever... erm... yeah... Y-you probably wouldn't want to date me..." He was sure no one would really want to date him. He was gone once a month, he was such an idiot at times, and he didn't know how to act when in a relationship. He wasn't going to take advice from his friends when it came to relationships, because they weren't the best when it came to the kind of relationship he wanted.

"Sorry," Kiesha apologized with no sincerity in her voice, not meaning to hurt her, but not that sorry to have hurt her a little. She was trying to steal this guy she had a crush on!

"They never liked me really! They all were losers, and jerks, but you know, the instant I meet a nice guy who I like, you come in an inform me you have dibs," Kiesha defended herself, "You always take all the attention away, if I didn't do some of the things I do, everyone would just forget about me. I don't want to fade into the background like just somebody who no one really knows, or is the sister of the Metamorphagus. If I didn't force them to noticed, I wouldn't be known any other way. Why can't I try to find someone who would actually care for me, and you know, he would do that. I haven't met anyone else who would. Don't blame me for wanting to snatch up the first person I meet like that." She glared at her sister, feeling quite jealous of her. She could find someone who would love and care for her before she did, and it wasn't fair. She got all the attention for her power, even if it was someone people seemed to hate it. It was still attention that she did not have to work for really, and Kiesha had to work at the attention she managed to receive. "No, it's five times," Kiesha laughed.

"I actually did have a couple of explosions..." Remus noted, "But there are many theories behind spells, and if you look in depth into the spells, then you can create spells fairly easily. Since I'm far from an expert, it took a lot of trial and error." The lily was a beautiful pink lily, which he had gotten from his mother's flower garden, which his mother cared for a lot. "I would normally refuse, but I can't say no to chocolate." Chocolate always seemed to make him feel better that week before and after the moon when he would feel the side effects of the disease.

"I am not a liar! It's not like I kissed him on the lips! It was perfectly innocent!" Kiesha replied, wanting her to let go of Remus, who was feeling quite awkward in the middle of a sibling fight.

"Why wouldn't I? Your kind, nice, charming, chivalrous. Sweet, cute... The guy every girl dreams of..." Tonks started to get lost in her words. "What was my point again?" She asked shaking her head and blinking. She had started to slacken her grip, then tightened her grasp again. Still wasn't going to let go.

"Right. Sorry. That's what you are." Tonks rolled her eyes. She did love his sister. Really she did. Sometimes it was just hard to show.

"I like him first!! Oh, now that song loved you first is in my head. I really need to get away from the radio.." She scratched her head. "Right, right. Because everyone forgets the girl who looks so much like her sister. I can never have black curly hair because everyone calls me Keisha!" She argued.

"There would be no trial and error with me. It'd just be error. Explosion after explosion." She nodded. She giggled quite girlishly and squeezed him in a tighter hug, "My first Valentine!" She looked at her sister, not really trying to be rude, "Sorry, Keisha. First come, first serve." She shrugged. She looked at the flower again, if she tried hard enough she could probably get her hair to match it. But that would take concentration. And a lot of brain work for so late in the day.

"No it wasn't! I have dibs! Don't touch him!" She was such a little kid about it. She didn't want to share her friends, her things or anything else. She just wanted them for herself ... But who doesn't?

"I-I am just no good for anyone," Remus replied nervously, "I-I disappear a lot, because my family gets really sick, and I get really sick sometimes, more often than others. And... I don't know how to be in a relationship, so I would probably mess up..." He was always a nervous wreck when it came to these sorts of things. He just didn't know how to deal with it, especially since he hadn't liked a girl like he did Vulpe already, even though Kiesha was cool too, he didn't know her as well, so he would have to reserve judgement on her.

"At least you can change your appearance!" Kiesha retorted, "So what you can't make yourself look like me? You can look however you want, but you complain that you can't have black curly hair? I would love to be in your position. At least then I wouldn't always be overshadowed by your gift. So what if people think it's weird, it's such a cool gift, that you got and I didn't. You got everything, a friend who cares for you, and such a special gift. I don't have either of those. Sure I have friends, but they really aren't friends. They just like me because I'm your sister. You have no idea what it feels like for people to pretend to like you and only be interested in you not acting like you or your sister having a gift like that." She knew that others viewed it as weird, and insulted her for it, but she defended her sister, and told them off for being mean about it, but always viewed her power as a gift.

"Remind me not to let you help me if I'm working on inventing a spell," Remus joked with a small laugh, "You're my first too..." Kiesha stuck her tongue out like a little kid. "I'll get him next year."

"That's so selfish, Ny- Dora!" Kiesha pouted, "I can't even be friends with him?" Well, friends was always the first step, with constant flirting, and trying to make him like him, before they were to get together. Kiesha still had hope.

"I call your bluff and raise you three dollars. Wait, wrong time and place. Did I hit my head going down the stairs too?" Tonks asked herself. She felt around the back of her head for a bump of any kind. She'd released her death grip on Remus and was trying to search the back of her head. "So what if you're sick all the time? I don't care. Who cares if you mess it up? I don't. I have dibs on you next year. I don't care if you say no, you're mine once we come back."

Tonks's hair blazed like a fire, "You say it like its a blessing! It's a curse! I can't hide my emotions, I can't hide in the dark because if I can't see I can start glowing. Its a curse. You wish you could have it? Be glad you're normal! I would give anything to be normal! Everywhere we go, everyone points and stares when they see my hair. Do you know how frusterating it is to explain why I look this way? You don't get it! I want to look like you! You're the beautiful one, I look like my head got soaked in bleach and chlorine when I was a kid, and you just have that natural look. Something I can never have. So what if they're not really your friends, I'm your friend. I've always been your friend, even after we fight, I'm still your best friend and sister. You can talk to me. People would only talk to me to see if I was anything like you, they realise I'm not and leave. It hurt!" Tonks blinked away tears, or tried to at least. She still had to wipe away some and sniff. Then she looked at the ground and put her hands next to her head, "Stop crying, stop crying.."

"Got it." she gave the thumbs up. "First kiss, first valentine, what other firsts are left? Because I'm going for atleast three in a row." She stuck her tongue out too, "Let's not get crazy sister, dear. Next year, is next year."

She tensed up as soon as she heard the begining of the first letter, "I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT!" she screamed. "You can be his friend, but nothing more! I don't like you going after my friends like that. Then I lose a friend too! He's my . . . third friend. You were my first friend, then Charles, but he's gone. And Remus, then Teddy. I only have three friend. And sometimes only having one is enough... but... I don't know where I was going with that."
