That dog sitting at the edge of the Lupins porch looked very familiar . Even if it was scruffy and very underfed.
Finally it was the stormy grey eyes that made Lupin gasp. His heart running madly, a tear dropping from his eyes. It has been over a decade since Lupin stared into those eyes, but it was eyes that he knew very well.
"Come in then" he whispered, holding the door to his small flat open.
It was the swagger the dog possessed that as he entered into the flat that made another tear trickle down his cheek.
The man that was now standing in his living room was a shadow of the man he used to know. His eyes were sunken in, his bones prominent but it was his deminia that scared Remus the most. This man was either about to kill him or about to ravish him...
"Sirius?" Lupin asked
Before Lupin knew it, Sirius was on his lips. Arms graced around the werewolves shoulders. The kiss was long and forceful. Lupin knew that even, though Sirius mouth tasted like dirt, he craven the passion that only his mate could bring.
"Do you have any food?" was the first words, that escaped Sirus's mouth, his voice was dry and crackly.
"Perhaps a shower may be a in order first? I'll heat up some soup, while you clean up".
Sirius flicked his wrist into a half handed salute.
The humming that came from the bathroom made Lupins heart leap. It has been a long time since Lupin felt this level giddiness. He never knew just how much he missed his scruffy mate until tonight. Lupin made his way to the pantry with a ridiculous smirk that amplified on his face. Without taking notice the wolf open a can of pea and ham soup and dumped the contents into the sauce pan that seems to always be out.
Rose scented body lotion woofed from the bathroom to the kitchen... wait... were did the lotion come from? Lupin most certainly didn't keep that dent in his one bedroom apartment. The smell go stronger and stronger and before Lupin knew it, he felt warm lips on top his bare shoulders.
"Fuck the soup" sirius whispered
"What?"
"Leavethesoup" was barely audible before Sirius lips was on Lupins. Passion begun to fire instantly, Lupin felt his soul ignite into flames. Without realizing the wooden spoon in his hand dropped to the kitchen floor as the kiss deepen. A moan escaping his lips. Sirius deepened the kiss as he forced his tongue into his mates mouth. Lupin's fingers now tangled into Sirius's perfectly tussled hair. It was getting harder to breath, harder to maintain some level of consciousness. Without hesitation Lupins fingers made there way from Sirius's dark hair to the towel that was draped around his waist, Lupin wanted, so desperately to remove it... never in his life has he hated cotton so much! however, as his fingers embraced the hem, he saw his mate. Not through his horny persona, but through realism. Sirius was extremely underfed, blisters had formed ontop on his nasty sunburns, his eyes were dull and almost lifeless, his lips was cracked ... how his mate managed to stand and breath was astounding. That's when Lupin realized that no matter how horny he was, no matter how horny his mate was and no matter how much they both longed for this... there was no way, that he could make love to Sirius his his state without risking his very life.
So, with deep sorrow and much hesitation Lupin ended the kiss...
"Marry me?" Was all Sirius could say after their lips finally parted.
"What?"
"You. Me. Holy matrimony".
"You're crazy"
"Crazy is love"
"Does that mean we have to wait tell the vows to be physical?"
The laugh that escaped Sirius was borderline scary, making his mate shiver with anticipation.
"Just try and stop me"
