Just Causes

"Just Causes"
Who:  Severus Snape & Remus Lupin
When: 6th Year
Chapter One:  Here
Chapter Two: Here


Tomorrow night, this place would be filled with a beast tearing at itself until his friends could arrive to keep it calm and keep it company.  Tonight, there was a beast of a different sort in the room, one unnamed but just as fearful.  Swallowing, it was all that Severus could do to clean up as bit before Remus's mouth was on him again.

He laughed.  Laughed.  Mostly this was directed at himself for being so pathetically stupid.  All this time he could have been with Remus and instead, they had left each other feeling miserable over misunderstandings.

Severus was quiet.  Where they were going to do, he wasn't quite sure but he wanted to find out!

Cool fingers tripped along the curve of Remus's ribs towards his navel and frowned. Had Remus killed someone? No, if that was the case, he wouldn't be back here. Whatever it was, it had been terrible. Severus was fairly sure that the blood had been Remus's.

All of it.

Why?

"Just a bad few days then," Severus insisted because anything otherwise he couldn't deal with himself. He was more careful when he settled against Remus's side and closed his eyes. "Ought to have been a Slytherin, you." Then they didn't have to leave.

Remus kissed the side of his face and laced his fingers into the other, pressing his hand the Severus'. "I'm a little afraid to find out what happened. I don't even think they told Dumbledore, but I think he knows. About everything." Remus flinched slightly when he tried to curl up with Snape.

"Yeah, me? A Slytherin. I'm a halfblood and a halfbreed. Don't think I'd fair good with your lot." He smirked.

The were hardly Severus's lot, but he held his tongue and gazed at Remus's cheek. "Maybe it doesn't matter what happened," he offered, his forehead still wrinkled with thought. "So long as it doesn't happen again. With the potion you should be able to keep your senses. Know how everyone is, right? No murderous intent."

He had to admit that after the nights he spent alone during the moon, he wanted nothing more to be at Remus's side. As if he belonged there.

Slowly, Severus's fingers gently splayed across Remus's chest, under his shirt, to feel his heart beating against his palm.

Remus tried to get comfortable laying there, but his mind was racing too fast for comfort. Especially when Severus' hand slipped under his shirt. There were many new scars, his left hip particularly beaten up from slamming against the walls repeatedly.

"I'm not sure the Marauders see it that way. I think it needs to be brought up. And I have a feeling it has to do with Sirius given what happened the night before." He said quietly.

Remus turned his head to bury it into Severus' shoulder. He didn't want to talk about it any more. It just hurt too much to be put through it over and over again.

Severus was not much of a talker himself so he hardly minded. After so long without Remus, all he wanted to do was sink into him. As his head met his shoulder, Severus lifted his arms and settled one in Remus's hair and the other along his spine.

"Let me tell you," he said, quietly watching the canopy he had set up, "about what you've missed."

Most of Severus's little talk was about lessons. He did particularly like Defense Against the Dark Arts more than he ought to, and went over whole lessons for Remus, even if the werewolf would have rather rested.

Remus just laid there and listened to him. He actually liked listening about the lesson. Even if what the class was going over, he probably taught himself two years previously. But Remus also just liked listening to Severus talk. It was comforting and it definitely calmed him down.

"I'm not particularly worried about much I missed. I might need to copy your potions notes though." He said as he propped his head up to look at Severus.

Severus shifted against the mattress, his hand falling out of Remus's hair. Palm up, his fingers curled inwards as he gazed up at the werewolf. "All right. This time. No free handouts."

He was teasing lightly, the corners of his lips twitching.

Whatever it was about Remus, he had it so bad for him. He wanted to touch him even now, but why risk hurting him further? "You missed Pettigrew scorching the ceiling. We were doing a simple refresher icy-breath potion. What a mess."

Remus sighed when Severus stopped touching his hair. He took the free hand in his own and placed it on his hip, letting him know it was alright. They couldn't do anything abrupt or rough, but touching wasn't going to kill him.

Remus leaned against him again, he head nuzzled at the base of Snape's neck. "I'm sure I'll repay you." He grinned up at him. "Oh Merlin, poor Peter."
