"I'm not exactly 'people,'" he muttered, not trying to be a pain in the arse about it, it was simply the way it was. "How I like it, really," he went on. "No one else notices me." He let his hand drop, fingertips running against the fabric just the same until the angle of his arm caused his hand to lose contact with Remus. "Guess I'm the safest bloke to tell your secrets to. Who'm I gonna tell, right? Even if I did, no one'd believe me."
He shook his head to clear the bangs from his eyes. Remus wore his scars under his clothing. Sirius Black liked to give Severus his so that they were visible. As his eyes reconnected with Remus's, Severus chanced a smile.
"I don't know how to be mates." Severus would kick himself latter. He sounded like a right git. Or worse, a pounce. He tried to keep that thought out of his head. "Had a friend when I was younger, but--" He gave a half hearted shrug. "It's not awful to work with you, Lupin."
He lifted his hand again, this time to offer it for a shake.
