Author's note: I am going to try my hand at a Remus X Severus, it will be at least two parts but I don't know if I'll do more, not unless I get some seriously good reviews. Please don't be mean in reviews, they make me sad, and I can't write fan fiction when I'm sad. Anyway I have a question about the word apparition, If I said I apparated, is that the right spelling? I'm trying to work on my spelling, but my computer and google tell me different ways to spell it. Anyway sorry I've talked so mcu for such a short chapter, please Review and ENLOY:
Remus Lupin would have never realized the truth if he hadn't been there the day Severus Snape took a green Hex to the chest. If he hadn't watched the Potion's Master fall to the ground, hadn't thought him dead, he would have never connected all the little facts that added up to one thing. Severus Snape was his one true mate.
Lupin had always been so aware of Severus, but before he had always had an excuse, he was a Slytherin, a rival, a fellow professor. After every meeting with Severus his heart rate had skyrocketed, but that had been because Severus was so confrontational, made him so angry. The reason he had noticed every hitch in his breath, every crease of his brow, every slight almost imperceptible limp, everything had been for some other reason. Everything could be explained away, even the fact that Severus had the most tantalizing scent, which reminded him of his mother's favorite perfume. Even the dreams and the erections had been explained, feebly, away. He had been told early on that any sort of confrontation anything that got the blood pumping, would excite his inner wolf.
All the explanations and reasoning made sense and were completely plausible, till he saw Severus fall. His gut wrenched and his heart felt like someone had ripped it from his chest. His wolf howled in agony and he felt the sting of tears. The pain made all those excuses fall away, because he could no longer deny or hide the truth, and as he watched Severus's motionless form he thought there was no way he could live without him, not now that he knew.
He was ready to take his own life, but then there was a twitch of a permanently stained finger the slight rise of his delicate chest the flutter of those dark eyelashes, the painful crease of his brow and the cute little way his lips puckered out as he grimaced. His mate was alive! That was all Lupin needed to know to get back his fight or flight instincts, and now, with so many curses flying about, he only had one option. Get his mate out of danger, so he gently wrapped his arms around the still unconscious Potion's Master, and used apparition to get them the hell out of dodge.
