Mate

Chapter 2


“Remmy, we said we were sorry already!” Sirius called to the brown haired boy who was pointedly ignoring the two. James threw up his hands and sighed.

“It was only Snivellus!” He pointed out. Remus calmly marked his place in the book her was reading and turned to face his friends slowly.

“If you ever call him that again, I’ll kill you,” he hissed before getting up and walking towards the portrait that led out of Gryffindor’s common room.

”Hey Remmy! Aren’t you gonna see us off? To the station?” James asked him.

“No.” Remus spun round and the hurt and anger was evident in his eyes. “I could have killed someone! You don’t seem to understand. Killed James. Severus could have been dead right now, and I could have been carted off to Azkaban! God, I wish sometimes you’d think first. Maybe if you shared your brains, you’d have a brain cell between you.” He stormed out after that, making his way to the one place of refuge he knew – the Library.

Of course he knew Severus wouldn’t have been killed – that was one thing he wouldn’t tell his friends. Not yet any way. Not until Severus was his. A slow, satisfied smirk spread across his face.

Severus went into the Library glancing around quickly to check that it was as deserted as he had thought it would be. It was Christmas and most of the students had gone home; perfect. He walked casually over to the magical creatures section and picked up the biggest book he could find.

Severus didn't know much about Werewolf's but what he did know was that they didn't lick and nip at defenceless teenage boys, they ripped them to shreds. "And when they say mate, they don't mean best buddies either." He whispered into the dusty pages of his book.

Remus walked into the Library and the scent of his mate hit him almost like a physical blow and he growled happily, moving between the tables until he found Severus tucked away in a hidden corner.

“Werewolves: Mating Rituals, Severus?” He asked standing within hands length of the other boy, his heart pounding in his chest, sending blood flowing through his body, making other things pound.

"Wha, ah, um…" Severus almost dropped the book but managed to slam it suspiciously loudly and shove it behind him instead. He swallowed and cleared his throat, composing himself, thinking what he could possibly say to explain this away innocently. Remus simply stared at him and Severus couldn't help but stare back. He found himself noticing Remus' perfect skin and the immense presence he held.

Remus smiled and took a step towards Severus, his arm reaching around him and brought the book into view, his hand casually touching Severus’ arm as it passed. Even now he could smell Severus’ lust. He wondered if Dumbledore had told the boy about his… ‘condition’. Remus decided that it was time to check. He placed the book on the table, bringing Severus to stand and pulled him flush against his body before smelling him and nuzzling his neck.

Severus' mind didn't know what to do with his body, his knees tingled and his hips thrusted lightly forward to meet Remus'. His breath caught in his throat, he realized he was holding Remus tight into his neck. A gasp escaped him as he felt Remus' hand fumble at his pants.

Remus covered Severus’ mouth with his, his tongue demanding entrance, kissing him passionately. All sense of his surroundings vanished in the taste of Severus’ sweet, sweet mouth. His hands slipped inside his boxers and grasped his hard cock, stroking it, intent on pleasuring his mate and loving the feel of Severus’ obvious desire for him.

Severus thrusted his throbbing cock harder into to Remus' hand as he pulled on the other boys lower lip before kissing him deeply.

Remus swiped his finger over the tip of Severus’ cock, spreading the pre-come on his finger. He broke the kiss and raised the finger to his mouth, licking and sucking it in a way that echoed how he’d like and suck something he craved more than his finger. His eyes were dark with lust.

“You taste good. I want you. Do you want me?”

"I…" Severus had never been treated like this, had never wanted anybody as badly as he wanted Remus now. His body screamed for him to say yes and let the other boy fuck him right here in the library, but... "Remus, what are we doing?"

Remus growled, his hand pumping Severus’ erection once more. He moves around the boy, releasing the cock only so he wouldn’t twist his arm, before putting it straight back and starts to rub his own aching cock against his arse.

“Having fun, Severus. Lots of fun,” he purred before biting on his neck, causing the other boy to cry out.

Severus raised a hand to Remus' head gripping on to his hair for some relief. Severus felt he would die if Remus left him like this but they were in the library and not everyone had gone home. He pulled away from Remus slowly, taking the other boy's hand in his and leaned against the book shelf trying to calm himself down.

Remus smirked and started to come closer, pinning him against the book shelf, licking and nibbling his neck whilst his fingers undid the buttons on his shirt.

“Severus…” he growled. “Mine.”

Severus gasped at the primal expression from Remus the wolf he thought as Remus' hand explored the contours of his chest. He swallowed hard and took Remus' head in his hands. "Remus, stop, please.

Remus’ snapped up, his eyes searching Severus’ face. He wouldn’t – couldn’t – force his mate. He lowered his hands and took a step back, panting, trying to keep his eyes on Severus’ face and not on the vision of the magnificent cock jutting out of his pants.

“Severus?” He asked, the word sounding like a purr, rolling out of his mouth.

Severus nearly pulled Remus in again at the sound of his voice like that but something kept him back. He had only ever been with one man in his life and it wasn't exactly a relationship where he felt like his needs were being thought of first. This was all new to him, and he wasn't just a one night stand to Remus, he was his mate.

"This is… it's all new to me Remus. I've only ever been with one man."

Remus growled at that. How dare somebody touch his mate.

“I’ll kill him.”

Severus laughed lightly and looked up at the ceiling before beginning to tuck himself back into his trousers. "As much as I might delight in that thought Remus, I don't want you killing a man for me. What would I do with you in Azkaban?" Severus sighed, thinking what he would do if Remus was taken away from him. It was crazy but Severus felt so strongly for Remus and that was the problem. He didn't understand it. "What's going on Remus?"

Remus sighed. He felt saddened at the talking and not being able to please Severus. But that might still come. “We should talk. Gryffindor common room is empty. We can talk there?” The unspoken question Will you come? echoed in the air between them.

"If you show me where it is."

They sat in front of the roaring fire, facing each other to avoid the temptation to rip off each other’s clothes and give in to the most primitive of urges.

“Are you alright?” Remus asked softly, hoping he hadn’t scared the other boy with the strength of his desire.

Yes, I'm okay." Severus lied, before realising that hiding his true feeling about all this might not be such a good idea. "I mean, no. I'm absolutely confused. You're a werewolf, I'm apparently your mate which doesn't seem to bother me, I like men… There's a few reasons why I'm not okay. It's just all a bit much at once."

Remus made to as if to get up, but thought that the other boy might not want him touching him at the moment. “Severus… I understand. But I’m here if you want to talk. I love you.” His eyes held the full extent of his love and need for the other boy. “I could never do anything to harm you, or force you to do anything against your will. Is there anything you wish to ask me?” Remus asked, wanting nothing more then to wrap his arms around Severus and hug him tightly.

“You love me?" Severus stared at the other boy. To hear that had been alarming but the feeling of pure happiness that had swept through him to hear it had alarmed him more. "Remus, I… I feel for you so strongly. Can we maybe just take it slowly, maybe just get ton know each other while we're alone?"

Remus nodded. “Are there any… physical boundaries? I mean… would you mind if I hugged you, kissed you?” He asked. Once they had found their mates, werewolves required physical contact with them, and Remus didn’t want to not be able to hold Severus.

"Oh hell yes, you can touch me. You didn't think I'd let you do what you did in the library and then just take it all away did you?" Severus laughed trying to put Remus at ease; he had seen the need in those eyes.

Remus smiled, got up and kissed Severus hard.
