Remus Lupin let out a sigh. He turned his head and looked, with eyes still twinkling, at the man who lay next to him, Severus Snape. Severus hesitated, but returned to the look, also letting out a sigh.

"Severus, that was the best I've ever had," Remus said in a soft voice, allowing his exhaustion to come through.

"It really was, Remus," Severus said, smiling a gentle smile, reminiscing about the experience the two men had just shared.

Remus turned his head and looked towards the sky, he knew that was closer to the man laid next to him than he'd ever been before; and in the state of euphoric joy that he was in, he loved it.

"I almost want to go again, but I don't think I have the energy to get through it," Remus sighed with a slight chuckle.

"You'll be the death of me, Remus Lupin," Severus said, with what sounded like a laugh.

"Severus Snape, did you just laugh?" Remus said in shock.

Severus turned to the other man who was looking back at him, and allowed a grin to play across his face.

"Right now, after that, I don't want to hold back anymore, I know I'll go back to being the snide grumpy guy after the afterglow has worn off, but right now, I just want to be happy," Severus explained.

Remus liked this answer and the result of that were his lips curling up across his face.

"Are you always like this afterwards?" Remus asked with sly curiosity.

"You should see me when performance is better," Severus said teasingly, "and trust me, it can get better."

"Wow," Remus breathed, "I've got to see that, though if it's much better than this I don't think I'll last long."

This made Severus laugh; and now a soft laugh, but a deep laugh that came from deep down and one which anyone would know was real. Remus was shocked at first by the reaction, but then also felt the urge to laugh.

When the laughing had subsided the two men just sat, staring at the ceiling.

"Do you think we'll be able to do this again?" Remus asked, after a minute or two.

"I don't know, I would hope so, but I really don't know, things are gunna get pretty rough soon," Severus explained.

"That's a shame," Remus sighed, "it was one of the best experiences of my life."

Severus let out another small laugh, but quickly followed with a sigh.

"It was good for me too," he replied quietly.

Remus turned to look at the black haired man.

"I've never known you be this open before," Remus said quietly

"I've never been this happy before, I mean I've done this before and the experience has been physically better, but because you're here it seems to be one of the best," Severus explained.

Remus didn't feel the need to say anything more, but he was just happy that the man, who was only covered in a white towel, was happy.

After another few minutes Severus looked to the man next to him with hopeful eyes. Remus caught his gaze and quickly realised what the other man wanted to do again.

"I think I'm ready to go again," Severus said, almost excitedly.

"Ok, let do this," Remus said smiling.

The two men stood in the corner came over. Remus and Severus rolled onto their stomachs' and the masseuses began working.
