Raju gazed at Renner with pride. His other half always was so thoughtful and he appreciated it. “The team would love that,’’ he repeated honestly. He did know what the members of the team he coached were like, after all. As their gaze met again, Raju felt his guilty feelings evaporate. There was nothing that face, that smile of Renner’s wouldn’t fix. He reached for Renner’s hand, settling his within that warmth. “You’re lucky if you have a partner who handles any inconvenience you bring to their life,” he said to Viano. And lucky was what he was!
Raju’s gaze then fixed on Viano fully once more. Matrons? That meant… an orphanage, did it not? He would have asked more but given how quickly the boy changed the subject, he guessed that it wasn’t something he was keen on talking about. That was okay, Raju could respect that. Instead, he chuckled about the comment about not having stomach aches. Truthfully, the man could relate as there wasn’t any limit to white chocolate which he could eat in one sitting. “I think you have every right to be proud of that fact, Viano.”
He had not meant to mention anything to do with his life at the orphanage, which was why Vi was so relieved that none of the three chose to mention it. “Studies are even if I don’t really think I’ll be using much of it to play Quidditch.” He, in general, did enjoy learning about various subjects and couldn’t wait to get a chance to take up higher education after his Primary one. “That’s good,’’ he told Vesper and Renner, fully in awe of them both and also of Raju being fortunate to have a family that didn’t mind their lives not being so private. He hoped he would be as lucky one day.
“Well, thank you for letting me crash your vacation for a bit. I’d better get back before everyone starts wondering where I am.” |
