Fifty Shades of Remus Lupin

Shade Two: Artist!Remus

Remus carefully checked that he had everything he needed, as he waited outside of the classroom for the art-class to start. This was now his third lesson and he was quite excited.

He had only recently found out he had a talent for drawing, when he had been doodling during his part-time job in the library, and the manager had seen some of his drawing and was impressed. Remus himself had been impressed by being paid extra to design some flyers advertising the kids-corner that the library was organising.

He found that he had enjoyed drawing up the flyer, and had nervously enrolled in an art class that ran once a week after his usual classes.

The first week had been the worst, with Remus feeling like he didn't belong in the room. But some kind words from an overly-enthusiastic girl at the next easel eased his nerves somewhat. He hadn't done too badly at the bowl of fruit that was set out for them to draw.

The second week still held some nerves, but he returned to the same easel, letting Alice chat away, nodding ocassionally, whilst he focused on the display of musical instruments. He felt more confident as he drew the picture, peeking at the easels around him, curious to see how the others were doing.

At the end of the previous class, the teacher had informed them she would be getting a life-model in for the next lesson. Remus was excited, he had never tried to draw a person before - how hard could it be?

...oOo...

It wasn't long before the art teacher came into the room, looking slightly flustered. The older woman beamed around at the class. "I'm afraid that my usual life-model wasn't available," she began. "But I'm managed to find a replacement. Please try not to frighten him, this is my nephew, Sirius."

Remus quickly adjusted his easel before looking over towards the model. His amber eyes met with a pair of grey, and he found he couldn't breathe. He was in love. This man was breathtakingly beautiful and he was... stripping. Oh dear Lord, he was getting naked right before Remus' eyes.

"Sirius, you can leave your underwear on if you feel uncomfortable -" the teacher said.

"I've got underwear on," Sirius said, pointing to a pair of extremely tiny pants. "Now, where should I sit?"

"On the platform in the corner," Dorea replied. "Honey, have you been doing your own laundry again, I think you've shrunk your clothes. I did tell James to tell you to bring it all back home."

"I like them like this, they're really snug," Sirius replied, walking over to the platform, his eyes finding Remus' again. He winked, causing Remus to blush for getting caught staring at the underwear.

He was sure everyone else was - after all, they were pink and had little pawprints all over them. Remus wasn't even sure they were men's underwear.

He let his eyes linger on the easel for a moment, before bringing his attention to the platform again. As he was standing closest, his gaze caught Sirius' once more, and Sirius just watched him in amusement. Remus met his gaze, examining his face - it was safer than where his gaze wanted to slip after all.

He uncertainly raised a pencil and began drawing.

...oOo...

Remus wasn't even a quarter of the way through the picture when the time ran out. He had decided to focus on the top half of Sirius' body as the model lay across the platform in what Remus could only call, a provocative pose. It didn't help that his eyes were on Remus throughout the whole lesson, making Remus nervous and making his heart race.

Remus was just packing his stuff away, when he felt someone behind him. He didn't react, as it wasn't unusual for everyone to look at each other's work.

"I'd like to see the rest of this picture," someone murmured, hot breath caressing Remus' ear, making him jump. He almost knocked the easel over in his attempt to turn around. When he finally managed to fix the easel, he turned and found himself lost in grey eyes.

"Yeah... well, if you come back here, I can... I can finish it," Remus said, trying to keep his voice steady.

"That doesn't sound fair," Sirius said, shaking his head and sighing. "That means you get to see me naked twice, and I'd have seen you naked a total of no times."

"That doesn't sound fair at all," Remus whispered.

Sirius beamed at him. "So maybe we can rectify that after I take you out to dinner tomorrow night?"

Remus nodded his head, taking the slip of paper that Sirius had scribbled his number down on.

"You know, I draw too, maybe we could arrange for you to pose for me sometime?" Before Remus could even think about it, Sirius had left the room.

Remus carefully tucked the number away in his bag and finished tidying up. He would definitely call Sirius later.

Review Please :)

Thanks to Firefly for giving me the idea.
