Through threadbare clothing and thin skin, Severus could feel Remus's heart fluttering around against his palm. His ears perked up, literally, as he leaned forward. He had liked it the other night, forehead to forehead. The closeness was soothing.
If it had been anyone else touching him, Severus would have hexed them three thousand times by now.
Severus almost looked worried when his eyes opened before his forehead smoothed out again. He snorted, softly, his breath curling against Remus's cheek. "This is ridiculous, Lupin. You know it, right?" Pale fingers rested lightly on either side of Remus's neck. Severus felt his pulse against his palm.
It was an awkward first attempt to kiss him. It was inevitable that one of them would do it, and Severus would have rather it be him. It came him a little more control. The only problem was that he'd miscalculated the angle and ended up making a right mess of it.
