Ever since forth year, unbeknown to anyone besides Madam Pomfrey, McGonagall and Dumbledore, James Potter walked down the small passage way every day after the full-moon.
The shrieking shake was always trashed and shaking in one corner was the reason he came. "Rem?" He kept his voice soft, light, knowing that the werewolf's hearing was always so sensitive after changing back.
James wrapped the pale figure in a blanket and forced Moony to look up by gently but firmly holding his chin. Remus' eyes seem to glow like they captured the moonlight in the now gold eyes rather than the soft chocolate ones that are present any other time.
"It's okay Remus, I'm here, your human and your safe, I won't let you get hurt and I won't let you hurt anyone." The last bit he added to reassure the werewolf already knowing he wouldn't hurt anyone.
James found the spare robes and helped pull them over Remus' lithe form. Remus appeared skinny but that's because there wasn't an ounce of fat on the boy just well toned muscle. James smiled and caught the slightly shorter boys lips with his own in a warm soft kiss. Remus felt James smooth lips against his and with that the pain in his limbs subsided as his arms wrapped around his fellow fifth year.
James always gave him this sense of belonging and being loved but also around to James being a werewolf was O.K. To James it just meant he had great senses and was a little more animistic, and changed into a wolf once every 28 days but James didn't care, never had and Remus hoped he never would because James was the one Remus loved more than anyone would ever know.
When he pulled back from the kiss the werewolf put his head on his mate's shoulder. "We should go to the hospital wing." James said with regret. He hated seeing his lover in pain and it didn't and might never stop but James would be there every step of the way. As they walked out of the tunnel and pressed the knot on the tree and up to the castle under the invisibility cloak they passed Lily Evens. James had stop chasing her last year nut it turned out she now liked him so she constantly flirted until Alice dragged her away. That clumsy little girl was a god send.
In the private room of the Hospital wing the two didn't speak a word they just stayed there. James traced Remus' hair line with such a loving touch that it sent shivers up the werewolf's spine. "Mr Potter." Minerva said walking in. "Please join classes after lunch, as far as the pupils are concerned you are with Mr Lupin." The two boys stared at her retreating back in pure shock. James recovered and swooped down planting a tender kiss on the sandy haired boys lips.
"James. Please don't ever leave me." Remus said twisting his hands around James collar.
"If I can stay with you forever, I will." James smiled brushing their lips together in a gentle caress.
Fin.
