Potions in the Moonlight

Severus sat in the large exam room pouring over his work. He was only vaguely aware of Remus watching him. He was currently working on the long essay part of his exam. No doubt Remus was already done as short as his answers probably were. Remus usually was straight to the point where as Severus preferred going through his answers in detail.

Severus suddenly flinched and jumped out of his chair as he felt liquid fall over his head and onto his exam paper ruining it.

"Bout time you took a shower, Snivellus!" he turned and saw James and Sirius laughing like buffoons.

It was Remus who snapped his reply first, he had been expecting this. James and Sirius had been glancing wickedly at each other ever since Professor McGonagall had left them to work in silence. He hated getting angry with his friends after everything they had done for him, but their tormenting of Severus was getting out of hand.

"Guys can't you just grow up and back off!"

"Come on we all know the guy needs one!" Sirius laughed. Severus got up just as McGonagall came back into the room. He left his sopping wet parchment on his desk and quickly left the room.

Remus rose quietly, flashing a dangerous eye at Peter, sat to his left.

"I'm done Professor, can I be excused?"

McGonagall looked at his paper and shook her head. "Have a seat a finish your paper Mr. Lupin." She said. "Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Mr. Pettigrew... please come with me."

Remus scowled and sat back down, he'd finished ages ago. He could do Transfiguration in his sleep, he'd seen how angry and red-faced Severus was and he wanted to be with him. He watched his three friends file out with the Professor and had never felt more alone. Their antics usually mildly bothered or amused him, but these past few weeks it had become more and more disturbing how much pleasure they got from tormenting Severus...

Why had it never affected him this badly before? He glared at the scribbles on his desk for a moment and then scuffed his seat over to Severus's desk. Pulling out of wand he began carefully drying and restoring the ink on the paper. The water was still fresh so most of the essay could still be salvaged.

"Remus is copying Severus' answers! He's cheating!" Someone yelled from across the room.

"Sod off!" Remus shouted over his shoulder. He wasn't sure what bothered him more, the insinuation that he was cheating, or the insinuation that he needed to cheat. He didn't let the yell hinder him, however as he finished his work. The parchment was a little crackly, but the words were secured. Satisfied Remus took in Severus's neat, tight handwriting before shuffling back to his own desk.

He moved to the front of the room and handed in his and Severus work before sitting down in his seat once again.

It was difficult focusing when all he wanted to do was find Severus and talk to him. But by now he was probably back in his Common Room... It seemed like hours before McGonagall returned. He was even considering rocking on his chair like some crazed infant, tapping on the desk in an impatient manner.

It seemed like forever until they where released from their exams, but when they were Remus was up and out of his chair in a shot. He didn't know where, or even if he would find Severus. He hoped that wandering the corridor he might get some inspiration.

He paused when he saw a water logged book laying on the floor in the side of the corridor near a garbage can. Picking it up he realized it was Severus' sketch book. It was completely ruined and beyond repair, the greys, blues and reds all mixing together between the pages creating a large blur of dark colours.

Remus wanted to cry, he felt a pang of sadness spread all through his chest. He knew that there was no point, but he still picked up the soaking, little book and dried it to a touchable damp. The colour stained his hand but he didn't care. He rathered that it was red pencil on him than the blood it represented.

He moved a bit farther down the corridor and found Severus in one of the alcoves, sitting on the floor still drenched with water, his hair sopping wet.

Kneeling in front of him, Remus didn't know what to say. He wished he was better at reading the older boy. Sometimes he wanted love and attention, sometimes he hated it and Remus wished he knew which time this was. Gingerly, he placed the book on the floor along with his bag and put a gentle hand on Severus's wet shoulder.

Severus shrugged away from him and moved over a bit.

Remus shuffled a little closer to him. He knew his words wouldn't mean much to Severus, but he still wanted to try.

"Severus... I'm sorry... about them."

"Don't apologize for them." Severus said annoyed.

"They're my friends..." Remus frowned. "And I should do more... I should always have done more to stop them. I didn't, and that's wrong."

"You can't control what your friends do..." Severus said. "It's not your fault." Though he was still looking away from him Remus knew that he was watching him.

Remus paused, biting his lip for a second before scrambling to his feet and hauling Severus up with him.

"C'mon."

Severus struggled out of his grip. "Where?"

"Prefect's bathroom... nobody will be there this time of day..."

"I'm not allowed in there I'm not a prefect." Severus said.

"I'm using my Prefects prerogative... you could do with a nice bath. Trust me. No one takes baths at 2 in the afternoon. And there are exams still going on."

Severus followed him to the prefect baths quietly, sloshing water along the floor as he moved.

Opening the secret door to the bathroom Remus ushered him inside and dumped his things behind the changing screen.

"I you wanna get undressed I can run you a bath." He felt suddenly awkward. He'd seen Severus naked before, but not in this sort of scenario.

Severus nodded and pulled off his robes and his clothes paranoid that someone would come in and see him.

Remus turned on the taps and flitted to the door, hurriedly locking it with the door lock and his wand. Just to satisfy his lover's need for secrecy at all times. He grinned.

"You decent?"

Severus looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "How decent am I supposed to be standing in the middle of the prefect washroom completely naked?" He asked.

Remus giggled and kicked off his shoes, padding across the floor to steal a gentle kiss. He loved having a bath in this room; the steam, the delicate decor, and now Severus was here. He looked a bit damp but otherwise as delicious as always.

"Remus, is this your way of trying to seduce me again?" He asked a sly smirk on his face.

It was hard for Remus to keep his broad grin from his face.

"I had this idea the other night... it's nice in here..."

"Thinking about me in the tub are you?" He asked as he moved towards the tub that was now full and bent to turn the tap off giving him a nice view of his ass. He climbed into the tub and moaned as soon as the warm water touched his skin.

Biting his lip, Remus sank to floor beside the sunken tub, his eyes never left Severus's changing face. His voice was almost awed and hushed,

"You know Sev, you really are beautiful."

"So you keep telling me." He said still not believing him.

Remus shook his head sweetly and sighed.

"I wish you'd understand sometimes... bath okay?"

Severus looked at him. "It's fine..." He said.

Smiling, peeling off his socks and rolled up his trousers to dip then in the bath.

"Feeling more... relaxed?"

"A bit." He said as Remus shuffled over to sit behind him and began to rub his shoulders.

"You have beautiful shoulders too..." he sighed as he moved his hands down Severus' chest before moving back up to his shoulders then down his arms. Severus leaned his head back against him enjoying the feeling of his hands on him.

Remus leaned down and kissed the pale, bony shoulders. He smiled so happily and nipped.

"I know you don't listen to me when I tell you these important truths... but trust me. I don't lie to you about these important things."

Remus stood and removed his clothes before sitting back down on the ledge behind him. He kissed his shoulder and murmured I love you into his ear. Severus leaned back against him, feeling Remus' soft cock against his upper back.

It was lovely, holding Sev like this. The heat in the air was dizzying. He wanted to slip into the hot water and snuggle up against the older boy; but he didn't want to press him further. He just wanted Sev to relax. He wanted him to forget Sirius and James tormenting him. Tenderly, Remus ran his fingers through Severus's wet hair and kisses it.

Privately, he hoped Severus wouldn't notice his growing erection...

Severus smirked and leaned back into him gently.

Remus bit back a moan, biting his lip and pulling gently at Severus's hair.

Remus slid into the bath behind him as Severus moved forward for him. Severus now sat between his legs, his cock pressing against his ass.

Severus didn't seem to complain or push him away. Smiling warmly, Remus ran his arms around his waist. It was amazing how everything felt way more erotic when they were in the water. The heat and the contact sent tingles all across his skin. Skidding back slightly, Remus kissed the long, deep scar on Severus's back.

The scar ran from his upper right shoulder all the way down to his left hip. It looked like a knife wound. He kissed the very tip of it by his shoulder before moving to his other shoulder and kissed the only other one that was as deep as the knife wound. It ran from his left shoulder closer to his neck straight across to the back of his upper arm. Those where the worst of them, but there where many. Too many to count.

Remus hated what they represented. He didn't like speculating as to how Severus got them, but all he knew was that as long as he had his arms around the older boy. Remus wouldn't let anyone hurt him. He lapped softly at the deep wounds, every little touch was affectionate and significant.

Severus melted into Remus feeling like a puddle of mush every time the boy touched him. "That feels really good." He said.

A tiny whine escaped his partner. Remus continued kissing and licking, dragging his hand down that pale, slender chest. Oh God he loved touching Severus like this.

He ran his hands down to his navel, further down and smirked when Severus tried to move himself closer to his hand. He dragged his hands back up and kissed his neck, his hands moving up to his shoulders.

Smiling and then dropping his hand again, Remus let his fingers ghost along the skin hidden under the water. He couldn't help but pull Severus back flush against his chest.

Severus squirmed against him loving every touch, every movement. He couldn't remember the last time he had felt this good, felt this... he couldn't define what he felt right now. He had no word to describe it. Could it possibly be.... no.... no it couldn't be that.

And then Remus was talking to him again, his voice soft and gentle against his skin. His words didn't matter, Remus always needed to remind Severus how much he was loved. Even now as adoring hands roamed his sensitive body.

Severus leaned his head back on Remus' shoulder. He felt like he was in heaven. He honestly believed that he could die right now and he'd go happy.

Nuzzling against his shoulder, a few of his words became concrete. He was nudging Severus now, trying to shift him up onto the ledge by the bath.

"Sev... I want to taste you again..." Remus moaned.

Severus didn't want to leave the water, or the hands touching him but he reluctantly shifted around and sat on the other ledge on the other side of the tub. Remus smirked at him and slowly moved through the water towards him.

It felt so natural taking the older boy's soft cock into his mouth. His movements were slow, careful, and so very loving. This was the best way Remus could think of making love to Severus without losing control.

Severus soft cock swelled in his mouth slowly. Filling him more and more with every suck, every movement.

Remus couldn't stifle his sweet whine of pleasure. His eyes closed, a lazy smile on his face. Jeez, did Severus know he tasted this good? He had to, otherwise he wouldn't be acting so smug right now.

Severus watched Remus' slow movements but didn't complain. He wanted this to last as long as possible as much as Remus did.

Opening his eyes to look up at his lover, Remus dipped his head deeper, loving the sensation of having his mouth totally filled.

Severus ran his hands through Remus' hair but didn't force him. He loved watching Remus, his lips wrapped around his swelling shaft.

It wasn't as if Remus needed forcing, he pushed himself down as far as he could go, hardly flinching as he took Severus's entire length into his warm, moist mouth. He choked a little, but he didn't care. Nothing mattered so long as he didn't stop doing this; over and over.

Severus moaned as he felt Remus throat constrict around him as he gagged. He loved the sounds and the feeling of Remus gagging on him.

Like a perfect circle, everyone of Severus's moans spurred Remus on, sending pleasure straight to his groin and making him groan and flex around the older boy.

He shifted slightly forcing himself deeper into his mouth. He moaned and moved against him feeling himself coming close.

Remus was more than willing to accept him. Sliding almost off of him and then down and deep again, the way his lips skimmed over the smooth skin was intensely satisfying. He wished he could do this all night, but he knew Severus wouldn't hold out much longer. This was still a relatively new act to him after all.

Severus moaned his cock pulsing in his mouth. "I'm going to cum..." He said not taking his eyes off of Remus.

Making a noise of acknowledgment, Remus held him there, maintaining his slow gentle rhythm. He was determined; closing his eyes and readying himself to swallow every drop.

Severus bit his lip stifling a loud moan as he came hard into his mouth, his hands gripping Remus' hair almost painfully.

Remus didn't mind, he loved feeling that Severus was losing control. That Severus wanted him this badly. He rested his hands on Severus's legs, enjoying the subtle spasms that shook him afterward.

When Severus finally calmed he let go of his hair and slumped back against the wall behind him.

Grinning up at him, Remus laid his cheek against Severus's thigh. He sighed, sweetly, unable to change his expression for some time.

"You ok?" It was a question he used a lot with Severus. But sometimes it was impossible to tell...

"Yeah" he said slipping back into the tub.

Remus wasted no time in snuggling up right next to him, nuzzling his neck and wrapping his hands around Severus's chest. The water in the Prefect's bathroom never got cold and still sent tingles up Remus's spine. What he loved more than anything else was being warm. But he never got a chance to have long baths in here; since his friends used the tower showers, so did he.

Severus wiggled in front of him and brushed his cock, moving to the other side of the tub, his ass facing Remus in a silent invitation.

'How can I say no to that?' Remus stood behind him, and rubbed himself against that sweet ass. He hadn't realised how hard it made him sucking Severus off like that, but right now Remus would have been begging the older boy for it anyway.

Remus didn't even prepare himself hoping that the water would be enough to ease the way. Severus braced himself on the edge of the tub, feeling himself swell again under the warm water. The small jet in front of him massaging him as he wiggled against Remus. It felt amazing.

Latching his lips onto Severus's shoulder he began the very slow push that he needed so badly. Every single ripple and movement in the water went straight to his cock. He wanted just to thrust inside, hard and deep. But he knew how badly that would hurt his partner; and hurting Severus wasn't allowed.

Severus pushed back against him, forcing Remus to push into him at least half way. "Please Remus..." There was no pain, only pleasure from what he was feeling. "Please.... more...."

Remus gripped his waist and held him at the half way point, resuming his long, slow thrust. When Severus pushed against him he very nearly sank his teeth into his beautiful, taut shoulder, but he held back. He held back so much when they were together...

Severus moaned and leaned his forehead against his arm. "Mmm.... Remus.... stop... ung...."

"What?" Remus gasped, and held his position. "What's wrong?"

"No... nothing." He said wiggling his hips. "Stop... holding back, you putz."

"But... But..." Remus couldn't quite form sentences yet. Was he actually having a conversation in the middle of sex! He moaned and rolled his hips forward another inch. "I don't want to hurt you... again."

"You won't...." He said. "But you be feeling some pain soon if you don't get a move on." He said pushing back against him.

Remus whimpered. He wanted so badly, to be gentle and make love to Severus the way he deserved. But it was becoming so... hard. With a quiet snarl he snapped his hips forward, burying himself deep inside his lover.

Severus moaned loudly. He didn't care how slow the boy went all he wanted was to be filled by him. To feel completed.

Switching between sweet, innocent whimpers and wanton snarls, Remus bit down on Severus's skin. 'Mine.' He thought, as he claimed him again and again. He left his tiny marks all over his skin, making sure he could see them, each thrust reminded him how amazing it was being with Severus.

Severus loved how slow and loving Remus was being. He loved the feeling of him slowly sliding out of him before slowly pushing back in underneath the water as the jets washed over his pulsing shaft.

Even as he quickened the pace, Remus was determined not to be as rough as the classroom. That was what Severus wanted, Remus wanted to make love to him in the bath. The heat from the water and their bodies was like heaven. Remus felt so warm and happy and safe, and as long as Severus felt a fraction of this bliss, he knew he was doing his job.

Severus squirmed against him. He knew because he had cum already he would last longer but this just felt so good.

"Oh God..." Remus whispered. He was close, holding Severus closer to him. He wanted Severus to come before him this time, but holding on at this level was getting harder and harder, especially as the older boy pushed back against him.

Severus leaned back his chest flat against Remus' chest a moment before he pulled away from Remus, his cock slipping from his ass.

Remus almost choked on his frustration.

"Sev! The hell!"

"Calm yourself Remus." He said as he turned around. "At this rate you're going to cum before me.... and I want to cum with you in me." He said taking Remus hand and bringing it to his shaft.

Smiling, Remus steadied his trembling hand and gently rubbed his lover. It was hard to keep his pace consistent when he ached this badly. A tiny voice inside told him this was glorious, because Severus wanted this too. Not just because it was sex, but because it made them closer.

Severus was nowhere near close and he knew Remus was itching to be inside him again. But he wanted Remus to be in him when he came and he was adamant about it.

And Remus loved him for it. He leaned up to kiss the tall Slytherin, he ran his spare hand through Severus's wet hair and sped up his hand. He was so grateful for this; them being together like this. They could have spent the whole day like this and it wouldn't get tiresome.

Severus slowly moved up onto the ledge again not wanting the water to hinder anything Remus wanted to do. As he moved up the water moved over his body filling the space where he sat previously as he moved up.

Remus could have cum right then. In the subtly tinted light from the many coloured glass, Severus practically glowed. It took the younger boy a few seconds even to realise what he was supposed to be doing...

Severus waited patiently as Remus took in the sight of him. As much as he hated being exposed like this he did love the look on Remus' face every time he looked him over. He seemed like a hungry man before food.

It was only the feeling of Severus's skin on his own that tore Remus back to reality; the reality being that he had a beautiful naked boy all to himself. He dipped his head and lapped at Severus's dripping thighs. Even through the delicate bath water, his taste was exquisite. Remus moaned again, bringing his hand up to stroke again.

Severus moaned and moved forward so that Remus could access his hole. Realizing what it was what he wanted Remus moved down slightly and placed his tongue on him slipping it inside as he moved his hand. Severus squirmed against his mouth. He wasn't as tight as he normally would have been, but his cock had stretched him a fare amount giving him easier access to lick inside, deeper and harder.

The combination of his hands and mouth were driving Severus mad. Remus too. He was so desperate to give his partner pleasure so they could be together again. Every second they were apart was torment on Remus's aching erection.

Severus watched Remus loving every minute his his tongue slithering inside of him, also knowing that Remus was squirming to be inside him still. He never wanted this to end.

Pulling away, Remus blinked up at him, never stopping the rough movement of his hands.

"Severus?" Severus groaned at the loss of contact.

"Hmm?"

Remus's breathing was becoming more laboured. His actions were affecting him just as much as they did Severus. He didn't want to ask... but he didn't know how much more he could take.

Severus moved slightly so that he was sitting more properly, his cock inches from his mouth. "Bring me closer Remus and I'll give you what you want."

Remus was more than willing, taking half into his mouth in one go. He would never tire of this; suckling on him desperately he moaned around the length.

"Remove your hand." Severus said. "Take me as deep as you can."

Big brown eyes blinked up at him.

"Hmm?"

"Remove your hand." Severus said slower. "And take my cock into your mouth as deep as you can." He said getting annoyed at having to repeat himself.

A glint touched Remus's eyes again. He pulled away...

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize, I just dislike repeating himself." He said. His tone before wasn't harsh but it may have seemed so to Remus. He ran his hand through his hair and led him back to his cock.

Grinning, Remus licked him and sucked him again. Taking in his entire length was no easy task, but Remus loved the rough sensation of choking at the back of his throat.

Remus still wasn't able to take him in fully, there was still about an inch left but he could tell Remus was struggling. His face turned red a moment as he held himself there, his throat constricting around his cock before pulling back.

Trying to take him back again, Remus choked again. He groaned and swallowed another inch, his throat tightened painfully. But he loved it so.

Severus watched as Remus took in his entire length, his nose buried in the soft curls at the base with every stroke. He moaned as he slipped down Remus' gagging throat. "Mmm.... Don't stop..."

Remus wanted to tell Severus how well his cock fit in his mouth, and how good it felt being fucked like this. But all he could do was groan and slam his face downwards, viciously.

Severus cried out as Remus slipped a finger into his anus, followed by a second. "Don't stop..." Severus said again moving against his mouth.

Remus had no intention of stopping. He could tell how close Severus was... but that lingering little nag at the back of his mind and in his groin, reminded him how badly he needed attending to.

"Fuck Remus... I'm so close..." He said pushing against him harder. "That feels so good."

Hearing Severus talk to him like that... Remus put his own needs from his mind. All he wanted to hear was his lover as he came; the sounds he made were always amazing. He wanted to hear those noises soon.

Remus took him in as far as he could go, holding himself there gagging on him but held his ground. He could hear Severus moan every time he did it before he pulled back again. He could feel Severus' hands in his hair and froze a moment before going back to his task.

'Please...' he thought. 'Please Severus, cum for me... I want to taste you again, so badly... please...'

Severus' hands tightened in his hair and he thrust up into his mouth pushing down his throat as far as he could go. Remus wasn't expecting the sudden onslaught and gagged harder than he had before as Severus came deep into his throat.

Remus's body was not happy. He tried to choke and swallow at the same time. He couldn't breath and for one terrible second he thought he might throw up. But instead, he just swallowed hard and then pulled away retching and coughing.

Severus lay back on the floor at the edge of the tub, his feet still in the water as he tried to catch his breath. He had never cum that hard before in his life. "That.... was amazing..."

Remus lay his arms against the edge of the tub, his face rested on his elbows. As he tried to control his breathing he managed to press out a smile. He tried to speak, but coughed again, trying not to dunk his face in the bath.

Severus sat up slowly and sank back into the water. He pushed Remus back to sit down and straddled his hips. He lowered himself down on Remus' pulsing cock taking him in with ease. "Will you please let me come see you tonight?" Severus asked as he moved against him.

Not expecting a sudden turning of the tables, Remus bit back a yelp of surprise. He looked up at the boy in his arms. His words alarmed him, even if he were quickly losing any mental power he possessed.

"No! Absolutely... not."

"Please?" He begged. "You won't hurt me. I want to be with you tonight." He said.

Wrapping his hands around Severus' hips, Remus pushed him down again, still taking a few extra seconds to think about what his lover said to him.

"Yes I will... and... you don't need to... you're with me NOW!"

Severus pulled off of him, staying a few inches above his cock. "Please Remus..." He said. He had so say Severus had never been known to pull a 'puppy dog' face but this was damn close to one.

Remus could feel himself giving in. Would it really be so bad? After all Severus had survived once, he could probably... No! No way in hell! If just one thing had gone wrong, one claw had severed something vital, if he'd been bitten! Remus didn't think he could live with himself.

"It's too risky... it's..." Remus tried to push up against Severus again, his cock screaming for that delicious friction again.

"Please?" Severus asked holding his ground above him. He felt tears spring to his eyes, though Remus didn't know they were deliberate.

Growling and pushing up again, Remus had never been more desperate for sex in his entire life.

"Severus..." his voice was steadily becoming more feral and angry. "Don't ask me again... It's mad... it's stupid... you could DIE."

"I'll be fine... you know I will be." He begged. "You won't hurt me Remus, I know you. I've dealt with the wolf before and I can again. Don't you trust me?"

That bothersome little voice was back in Remus's head again, it only seemed to crop up with Severus was this tantalisingly close to him.

'Of course you trust him... he's your Severus. He can take care of himself. He has before and he was fine. Don't be so paranoid.'

Remus swallowed and tried to push the older boy's hips back down onto him.

"Please... Severus..."

"Please.... Remus..."

Screwing his eyes shut and whimpering again so needfully, Remus nodded his head. The tiniest gesture, but Severus picked up on it without a pause.

Severus moved down again taking the head into his ass. "Do you promise?"

Remus swallowed, moaning again and doing everything in his power not to force Severus over and taking him without saying anything. But he couldn't. He couldn't even form sentences.

"I ... no..." he frowned. "Severus stop this..."

"If you wish." He said moving back up so that Remus was no longer inside him at all.

Remus couldn't hardly suppress his howl as he savagely dug his fingers into Severus's waist.

"Stop... blackmailing me... I'm trying to... save your life! Ingrate!"

The throbbing in his cock was threatening to split his whole body in two. It was like his heart had expanded a hundred times and was about to burst.

"You keep saying that but you won't hurt me Remus. And you know it!" He said. "And I'm not blackmailing you... if you really want this then I'll do it... but if you don't trust me enough to be with you tonight then I don't think we should continue this after wards." Severus said clearly upset that Remus was still rejecting him. He lowered himself back onto Remus' aching cock taking him in fully and moving over him.

Remus groaned, but held Severus in place. Taking a moment to form his words he slowly choked.

"I trust you Severus. I do... But I can't trust myself. If I bit you... you understand... the slightest tear..." he shuddered, the ache was reaching unbearable limits.

"But you didn't. And you won't..." Severus said. "I had a few scratches sure.... and to be honest as much as... what you did... hurt... I did enjoy it... and I'm much more prepared for it this time." He said wiggling his hips against him.

That was it, Remus couldn't hold off any longer. He had been denied all afternoon, taken to the brink and back several times and now he had no more control to hold onto. He pulled Severus closer to him. Whispering feverishly,

"Fine, fine... I... I promise... just please... please!"

Severus smiled. Honestly smiled. Not his usual smirk that he had when he did something clever or was proud of himself for something... it was an all out full tilt smile. Severus moved over him more enthusiastic than before.

"Thank you." Severus said kissing his neck, his cheek. He ran his hand over his cheek, his face, in a very loving way as he moved. Like him, his skin was scared, but also like his, his face was unmarred. It was... beautiful.

Remus was lost in the motion of the boy over him. This was the experience he had dreamed of, making love to Severus, in one of his favourite places. The way Severus was looking at him though...

Severus soon bit his lip as he moved over him. It felt amazing having him sliding in and out of him, his cock almost stationary beneath him every time he pulled up. His cock hardened once again. Fuck Remus was going to be the death of him... three times now... He could already feel himself coming close and he was only half hard. Probably not even half.

It wouldn't be long now, as Remus pushed up frenetically to meet with every one of Severus' down strokes. That look in Sev's eyes, it was almost like... looking in a mirror.

Severus moved closer to him, not slowing his pace in the least. He nibbled on Remus ear a moment before whispering, "I love you."

Remus shut his eyes, ordering himself not to cry. But even as he welled up, he could feel it coming. He had never cum so hard in his life, Severus' words echoing about his head. He felt dizzy; he held on so tight to that slender boy as he filled him.

Severus moaned at the feel of him filling him and came once again, his mostly limp cock jerking with the force of he release.

The idea of pulling out of Severus now was just too painful. Remus couldn't move at all, except to nuzzle his lover like the affectionate animal he was.

'I love you'... had Severus really said that, or had Remus just imagined it like every time he imagined making love to him.

Severus nibbled his ear again but didn't say anything. Was it just his imagination?

Not wanting to ruin the perfection of this afterglow, but unable to fight his burning desire to know, Remus awkwardly slipped out and pulled Severus down comfortably onto his lap.

"Severus...?"

"Hmm?"

"Did you really say it?" Severus looked at him confused.

"Say what?"

Remus blushed. He couldn't be sure if Severus was playing about with him, or if was truly ignorant of what went on in Remus's head. He decided to call his bluff, just this once.

"You know what..."

"No... I don't." He said. "What did I say?"

Remus shook his head and blushed darker, resting his head against Severus's shoulder. He absolutely wasn't going to talk to Severus about his bizarre fantasies, especially not now.

"It doesn't matter, I was just hearing things..."

"Remus... obviously you heard me say something. I'm not always aware of what I say in... that kind of a situation.... what did I say? Was it offensive?" He asked confused.

Blinking the hint of tears from the corners of his eyes, Remus's voice dropped another tone. He turned his face away from Severus and shook his head again.

"No honestly, Sev. It doesn't matter, it could have been anything... I'm not even sure you said anything now..."

"Maybe if you told me what you thought I said I'd remember if I said it." He said. "I'm sorry if it's something bad or.... something I should remember but... my mind went blank when I.... you know..."

Remus forced every ounce of cheer he possessed into his voice as he smiled,

"No really. There's no point in pursuing it, it honestly isn't important... C'mon" he moved him to one side and turned to clamber out of the bath.

Severus remained in the tub and leaned on the edge looking up at Remus, his chin resting on his crossed arms almost like he was hanging onto the side of a pool. "So I can really come with you tonight? You promise?"

Remus, his back to the boy in the bath, reached for a towel and sighed.

"Yeah sure... if your crazy enough to do it, who am I to stop you?"

He grabbed his clothes and ducked behind the screen, desperate to avoid Severus's eyes for another few minutes at least.

"What's the matter Remus?" He asked getting out of the tub. "Somethings bothering you I can tell."

Remus stepped back out, fully dressed in his robes, battered tie and big expressive eyes.

"There's nothing... just thinking about tonight..." he padded barefoot to where he had left his shoes and socks, letting Severus dress in private.

Severus didn't dress instead followed Remus to where he stood. He put his arms around him and kissed him lightly. "Everything is going to be fine okay." He said. "I promise."

Melting into the kiss, Remus smiled weakly. Severus had a manner of speaking that soothed him. Of course it would be fine. His shoes dropped to the floor, and he wrapped his arms around Severus's neck.

"Thank you," he whispered...

Severus moved away from Remus and got dressed.

Remus's movements seemed stiff as he tugged on his socks and battered old shoes. The day of a transformation tended to be the worst on his bones. He thought the bath would sort him out, but the compound of an hour in the cold exam room and the worry of how he might treat Severus tonight, hadn't helped at all.

He glanced sheepishly, to see if Severus was done.

Severus adjusted the collar of his cloak before turning to Remus. "Meet you at the Shrieking Shack tonight?"

Remus sighed, more from fatigue than exasperation. Picking up his satchel with a groan...

"Yes... I'll see you then. Come a little earlier if you can." Remus said mentally wondering what he was going to do about Prongs and Wormtail. He hoped their little stunt with the water had landed them in it for tonight as well. Remus headed for the door.

"I'll make sure it's clear..."

Severus looked back at him confused. "Clear of what?"

"Uhh... the corridor. Free of people. In case anyone sees you. Not a Prefect and all that." Remus scuffed his feet and wandered to the door.

"How are you going to manage that one? Tell them 'oh yeah my boyfriend's trying to sneak out of the castle cause I'm a werewolf and he wants to come see me?' Somehow I don't see that working.... Just let me handle getting out on my own." He said.

Remus stared at his feet, frozen. Had Severus just said 'boyfriend?' He wasn't sure how that was supposed to be. The older boy had never made any sort of reference to their relationship, except for those insane occurrences inside Remus's own head. But this him he most definitely wasn't making it up. He stammered,

"I meant the corridor outside, now. You're in a Prefect's bathroom..." he blushed and reached for the door. "But thank you."

"I thought you said I was allowed in here." He said. "With you..."

More awkward shuffling as Remus worked the lock.

"Uhh. sorta... not really. You aren't in my house. The rules are a little muddy... but still, probably not a good idea that people think we had a bath together... you know..."

With a subtly murmured spell, the water let itself out and Remus swung the door open a few inches. Scanning the corridor he slid out, waving Severus after him.

Severus followed him slowly, his hands in his grey pants pockets.

"What will you do with the rest of your afternoon?" Remus fumbled for any other sentence but. 'So! I'm your boyfriend now, am I?'

Severus shrugged. "I'll probably go see if McGonagall will let me retake my exam." He said. "I'm sure she'll understand. Even if the one I had was repaired it wasn't completed."

"I did what I could for it... it's Transfiguration anyway... not that difficult... " Remus still had his hands firmly shoved in his pockets, not looking Severus in the eye as they walked.

"Yes but I would still like to recopy what I had and finish it up." Severus said. "When have you known me to be anything but a perfectionist with my work?"

"Never." Remus smiled as he admitted Severus's obsession to detail. He said boyfriend, so he must have meant it. Severus wouldn't let something like that slip, in casual conversation.

Severus smiled as they walked through the halls. He moved towards McGonagall's class knowing she would be there between the morning and afternoon exams. He needed to talk to her.

Stopping outside their class, Remus hovered.

"I think, I'm going to head off... I got some stuff to finish off before I'm strapped up all of tomorrow... alright?"

"Okay, I'll see you tonight." He said stepping into the class room.
