"You want me to work for the Ministry?" Remus asked, sounding surprised, as he stood up off the bed and started to get dressed. "Be an Auror?" He almost scoffed.

"Not an Auror, Remus," Kingsley said, still lazing around in bed. The sheet was wrapped around his waist, hiding his best assets, Remus thought when he turned to look at him, and his chest was still damp with sweat.

If Remus didn't have to leave right then, he'd crawl back into bed with Kingsley right that second.

"A consultant."

This time, Remus did scoff.

"I repealed the anti-werewolf legislation, Remus. And what better way to show these bloody wankers than have you work at the Ministry with us as our Liaison for Cooperation with Magical Creatures?"

"You're so full of it," Remus said, sitting down on the bed and allowing Kingsley to pull him close. You might as well call it Liaison of Cooperating Creature Organisation, it has a better acronym, and fundamentally demonstrates the kind of idea it is."

"Locco?" Kingsley asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Exactly. That's what you are," Remus said.

"Where are you going? It's Saturday."

Remus leaned down and kissed Kingsley before he stepped away. "I have a job interview. Something that isn't going to make me look and sound crazy."

"And you'll be back after?"

"Yes, Minister. I wouldn't think of anything else, otherwise."

I LOVE IT! Your description of Kingley is brief, but it brings up so many delicious images. and his chest was still damp with sweat. - that part, especially. Yum. I'm not surprised Remus wants to jump back into bed with him! The idea behind it is fantastic too. Remus might be dismissing Kinglsey's idea as loco - ha! loved the pun there, too - but it's pretty common sense. Although, despite Remus' reluctance, I love that he has a job interview somewhere else. It's a very hopeful ficlet, for something based around a secret relationship. Thank you for writing it!

I may have looked at the revealed wishlists and gone "oh dear, mine are a bit...oh". Oops!
