Chapter 1:
Accept it
"Whoa!" Harry jumped back through the door he had barreled through, he needed to talk to the professor, or at least he had wanted to until he had stormed into the room finding Lupin straddling Snape on the desk with his long doggy tongue somewhere halfway down the Potion Masters' throat. He heard a thud as Lupin got off of the desk and Snape.
"Erm, Harry, hi!" Lupin put a hand to his hair as he re-opened the door and smiled sheepishly at 'the boy who lived.' He cleared his throat. "Can I… can I get you something?"
"I… I can talk to you later" Harry turned around and RAN as fast as he could.
Remus turned to face Snape, still lying on his desk, god he looked so hot. His expression was shocked, he hadn't gotten over the fact that Lupin had shoved him onto his back sending papers all over the place and had kissed him so passionately that his lips were bleeding. He hadn't even realized that Harry Potter had seen them.
"Professor, I…" Remus hadn't expected it to go that way, Snape was supposed to push him away not to just sit there on the desk, looking vulnerable, innocent, confused, sexy.
Severus sat up and cleared his throat "um… I… need to… go…" he tried to sound dignified but his voice sounded dazed. Lupin stalked over to the desk, shoving Snape back down he mounted him again licking what he could of his neck before growling
"Why?" Snape was so startled he didn't even notice himself arch up in pleasure at the touch of Lupin's tongue on his neck. Lupin smiled, he had known that Severus wanted him, he could smell lust on him every time he slid past him in the hallway, once he had snuck up on him and placed a hand on his waist, as to tell him to move out of the way, and as Severus turned and saw him, he could see him shift and try to hide himself from view, which didn't work, as werewolves could smell feelings better than see them.
Lupin sent Snapes mind wheeling in circles as he oh-so-gently led his attack with a soft darting tongue, licking the blood he had inspired not so long ago. A muffled "ah!" was all that he could muster. His blood was to busy focusing somewhere else to help his mind.
"I go…got… get... need" Snape stuttered between breaths. His small protests seemed to make Remus more focused on him. Snape didn't know if that was why he continued or if he was just babbleing. "I… have laundry wanshing… neees tooo stopppp" his protests became more syrupy as Remus licked at his neck. Suddenly Lupin growled and carefully started unbuttoning Snape's robe. Snape squeaked.
"I need to potion a brew. I mean spew a potent… I mean se… AHRUG…. I mean I have people to do… I mean things! THINGS to do." Snape desperately tried to get out one sentence, it wasn't working with Lupin's hands working on his buttons and Lupin just smiled as he stuttered, making it harder to talk or think coherently.
"Oh" Lupin pouted "you're doing other people?"
"NO! I'm not!" he sounded too desperate to verify that he was free. "I mean… that's not what I meant"
"Then I'm sure you can spare me a few minutes, hmm professor?" Lupin smiled slyly at Snape, who was unable to respond because Lupin had slipped those strong hands under the now open top he wore so, he gasped instead. Lupins' hands were so smooth, warm and strangely rough.
"I'm going to pretend that means you're free and that I may do as I please." Lupin grinned and licked his lips, moving back, so he could look at Snape's bare chest. "Oh no… we are going to have a visitor…" he leaned into Snapes' chest as the door made a creak.
"Remus!" a new voice yelled, sounding shocked. Snape had to force himself out of his fantasy; come to just enough to turn his head. He almost screamed as he saw who it was and at the same time a mouth closed around his nipple. Sirius Black was standing in the doorway, shaggy and unclean glaring at them.
"Hello, Sirius" Lupin's voice sent him shivering, or maybe it was the vibrations against his nipple as Lupin was speaking into it. Lupin kissed it again and sat up "Can I help you?" he sounded so cold.
"What the fuck are you doing you fucking pervert?" Black looked disgusted
Lupin rolled his eyes. "What do you think I am doing Sirius?" Lupin shifted slightly sending thrills up Snape's spine.
"Making out with that Nasty Greasy Fuck from school?" Black looked offended
"Wow, Sirius, you can see!" Lupin sounded so sarcastic it was scary "not that you would get why, it took you seven years of me hitting on you for you to figure I was gay."
"I thought you were just nice." Black tried to justify it.
"Yeah, because saying you have a sexy ass is just nice." Lupin sighed "but I'm fine now Sirius, I don't like you anymore, if that's what you are thinking, I'm okay with the fact that you are straight." He explained at the look on Black's face.
Harry had ran all the way back to the Gryffindor common room and flumped down on a chair.
"Hermione, Ron, I have to tell you guys something" he said once he caught his breath
"What's chasing you now Harry? What unspeakable beast is loose this time?" Hermione was still mad that Harry had gotten her in trouble over making out with Ron.
"It was" Harry started dramatically "Lupin and Snape"
"And why are Lupin and Snape chasing you Harry?" Hermione asked though she sounded uncaring.
"They weren't! I mean it was Lupin AND Snape" he said loudly
"Doing what? Seamus asked attracted over by Harry's raised voice
"Making out on Professor Lupin's desk… like ON the desk."
"Hot!" Seamus exclaimed, loud enough for the common room (which had gone silent) to hear.
"Uguh!" Ron said
"Hmm, I thought Lupin would have better taste, Snape's a whore" Hermione said, she had not even looked up.
"What!" Pavarti stalked over to Harry "Did you say," she said looking up and announcing to the room what she had heard: "SNAPE and LUPIN were SNOGGING on LUPIN'S DESK?"
"Yea" he said admittedly
Ron, who had just registered Hermione's statement looked at her "Did you say Snape was a whore?"
"Well, he may be a virgin but he's still a pervert. I caught him looking at "Wet Willing Warlocks" once. Hermione was so matter-of-factly saying that she could have been proving the sky was blue.
Seamus smiled broadly, "Do you reckon they are still there Harry? I think I need help on that Defense Against essay after all." He went to turn as Pavarti got into his way
"Seamus, I know you have really low standards but watching our potions professor snog someone is just not right." Pavarti flipped her hair as she said this to emphasize it with flair.
Lupin got off of Snape, and turned to look at Sirius "I won't tell Dumbledore you are here if you finally give up trying to tell me that I'm straight."
"What's the point in that? Snivelly will just be a oozing pool of grease, happy to tell Dumbledore that I'm here" Sirius had obviously just realized the mistake in going to talk to someone who still thought him a traitor
"I'll make sure he doesn't talk" Lupin glanced over his shoulder at Snape, that gorgeous look of curiosity returning. Snape shuddered to think how Remus was going to keep him silent.
Sirius knew he was backed into a corner, no matter what he did; he had to go through Lupin to get out of his predicament. "What do you want me to do?" he tried not to sound too defeated.
"Come to terms with me being gay and accept it for what it is." Lupin said quietly
It suddenly occurred to Sirius that Remus couldn't think he was guilty, if Remus had thought he was guilty Sirius would have been flayed by now. "Do you know about Pettigrew?" he asked quietly and almost sang when Lupin nodded "Where is he? Do you know why?" Sirius ignored Snape and the situation completely
"I only know he is on the grounds, I've been trying to track the marauders map to find him." Lupin looked odd as though mentally feeling out "I knew you were here too before I saw you, how do you think I knew it was you without hearing your voice?"
"I…" he searched his mind for an answer, none came "Dunno" he shuffled his foot like a kid.
"You remember our 'ani-grad night' when you all were able to turn to creatures? We made a bond, we pooled our blood together in that teacup and each took a smudge and crossed our hearts?" Lupin was reminiscent
"Yeah, it faded off, not a very reliable charm" Sirius failed to see his point
"No it didn't Sirius, you all got used to it, only, I had to hold onto it incase I needed one of you when I changed! I held my bond Sirius; I actually strengthened my connection every month with all of you making sure I could find one of you when I needed to. I could feel only the strongest of emotions from you guys, I let it fade slightly after we left school, but still kept up, just in case. The night that James and Lil died, I could feel James' panic I could feel Pettigrew's fear and I could feel our bonds weaken slightly as happens when he slips into animal form, and I knew that there was a missing puzzle piece. The only reason I didn't say anything was fear of ST. Mungo's." Lupin must have gone over this in his mind enough times to format a speech; there was a lot of angst in it too, he might have saved most of it from when they were still in school.
Snape's mouth was hanging on its hinges; Ani-graduation, animal form? Were they Ani-magi? Astounding! Maybe James and Sirius had hearts after all?
"Re, I…" he sounded slightly off kilter "I think you make a good gay guy" he turned and started to walk, shifting into a dog as he was trotting out the door.
A scream echoed the walls as Seamus, Pavarti, Potter, Hermione and Ron all turned the corner. None but Pavarti had known that she could scream so loudly. "The Grim!" she shrieked at the top of her lungs and passed out into the waiting arms of Seamus
"Shit" Seamus shifted her and pulled a wand as the dog charged at them, none of them able to react as it flew over them, and pounded off "knew she was gunna do that" Seamus grumbled.
Snape looked at Lupin, almost expecting him to stop Sirius. When he didn't, Snape still stood there watching Lupin. Remus was Smiling, and not smiling one of his regular, tired, sloppy, dog-like ignorant bliss smiles, but really smiling. He found himself, once again, subject to smoldering, bubbling, boiling jealousy that Sirius had made him smile like that and that Snape barely pulled a 'Ignorant-bliss' smile from him a couple times.
Never before had it occurred to Snape how lonely Remus must have been, two of his best friends supposedly killed, the third blamed for both deaths and sent to Azkaban, the only support he had was from Dumbledore, who was simply aiding him out of pity. Snape now knew why Remus was in Gryffindor. How much courage had it taken Remus to just get out of bed every morning? How few people noticed what inner battles Remus fought? Did Remus blame himself for all three of his friends' problems? Knowing the little he did about Remus, Snape knew that Lupin had probably sat up many late nights asking himself why he hadn't done something to save them, used his prefect status more wisely to guide them out of trouble, away from the dangers that the future may have held. Knowing the little he did about Remus, Snape was forced to change his entire view that night. Remus was the most admirable man that Severus had ever known.
Lupin slowly turned around to face Snape, he was blushing like a mad-man "Professor?" he asked quietly
Pulled out of his thoughts, Severus looked up "yes Remus?" then he realized he had never used the man's first name before "I mean, Lu…"
Remus interrupted "Remus is fine. Will you be telling the headmaster about Sirius?" he looked worried.
"No. I don't think I will, Remus." He added on Lupins' name as though it was a privilege to say.
Lupin smiled weakly "thank y…" Then the crowd burst in, interrupting Remus. Seamus was carrying Pavarti, who was wailing about the grim and the death of Harry
Snape pulled his robes closed so quickly that even Lupin wondered if they had really been open seconds before. "What happened?" he asked in a suddenly-commanding voice. He had somehow managed to button them without anyone noticing as he let go of them (fully closed) and strode over to Pavarti. "Stop babbling child"
Seamus was the first to answer… unfortunately. "we were coming to your office to see if you two were really Snogging like Harry said and this huge black shaggy mutt came flying out of nowhere and she fainted" Harry blushed from top to bottom, Hermione put a hand over her eyes and Pavarti stopped babbling about the death omen.
"I was not coming with to see if they were…. Kissing. I was simply walking with you before I left for the library." Pavarti lied through her teeth.
"Back to your common room, before I take points!" Snape had such a sexy voice when he sounded angry.
They all scrambled off, embarrassed by Seamus explanation. As the door closed Snape turned to Lupin.
"How did nary hoe?" Snape blinked "I mean, how did Harry know?"
"He walked in when I first had you pinned… that's why I got up." Lupin repressed his smile, Snape had been too? To notice…. Was that shock or pleasure?
"oh." He turned and walked to the door.
"Severus?" Snape stopped dead at his name, he shamelessly grinned as he felt the blood rushing to his dick; his name wasn't so bad when Remus' timid voice rolled it off the tongue like that. He hid his grin and turned to see Remus' staring at the floor, messy honey-brown hair shading his eyes. Snape almost reeled, unprepared for the second rush of blood. He had never noticed that bangs could be so…. Hot. "Yes, Remus?" he purred. He had not meant to purr it but he did all the same.
"I" he looked up, and paused, his eyes glittered as he sniffed the air, and caught the look in Snapes' eyes. "You smell… really…. Good" he said, his rough, growling voice becoming huskier.
Okay, so firstly this is my first story. Second, this had about five Betas' but none of them ever read it (lousy betas!) either way here it is, and here you are. It's not finished and I should be posting the next chapter fairly soon. If anyone happens to actually read this please Review just to let me know you read it, it would mean so much to me!
