One Headlight

The Continuation of "Under Pressure" (Because I couldn't leave it alone). I was going to make it its own story but... thought against it ...

This chapter brings about Remus and Severus as a new couple and they spend their last night before the Summer Holidays under the stars. When Remus' father comes to pick him up from the train station, things happen that Remus never expected. What will Remus do? The confusion he feels is overwhelming. Will Severus be able to help? Rated M for M/M Slash (graphic) and abuse.

Warnings: M/M Slash (Graphic) and abuse in this story with mentions of spanking (and not the good kind at all).

Start of the Summer Holidays 1976

Severus laid out the emerald green blanket on the grass. Remus smiled softly to him and then looked up at the clear night sky. The black velvet housing the countless amounts of stars above was truly a breathtaking site. He lowered his body next to Severus' and laid his head upon the tight, muscled stomach while the Slytherin ran his fingers through the soft locks of his boyfriend. They wanted to spend their night nestled together before the Summer Holidays started tomorrow.

"It's going to be horrible not seeing you for the summer, Sev."

"Oh, I'm sure we can figure out something. I could meet you in Diagon or something. I pretty much live by myself since they sent him away. Mom lets me come and go as I please."

"That should make it easy on your end. My parents like to keep an eye on me. Well, my dad more so really. Mom is over protective of me but not as much as he is."

"We're sixteen and nearly graduated. Surely they'll let you wander to my house."

"Probably. They are afraid someone will find out I'm a ...well...you know..."

"It'll all work out for the good. Don't worry, love. The potion I'm working on for you is coming along quite nicely, too." Severus smiled as he ran his hand through Remus' hair and trailed his finger along his chest. Remus moved his head closer to Severus' touch. He was thanking Merlin that Severus didn't cast him away when he revealed his secret in Dumbledore's office a few months ago. He closed his eyes and breathed in, smelling the early summer grass and listened to the crickets chirping. He was grateful they were the only ones out tonight to enjoy the night. He cracked an eye open and saw a shooting star flying across the black canvas.

"Make a wish, love."

"I have everything I could ever want. What more could I hope to wish for, Sev?"

Severus smiled and inhaled, "You can't let it go to waste, Remmy."

Remus squinted his eyes and then shut them. He thought for a moment and made a silent wish: I wish..I hope... that nothing ever destroys what I have with Severus.

"All right, I made a wish."

"Good. I hope it comes true."

Remus turned over on his stomach and snake crawled up to Severus' chest, looking him in the eye. He rested his chin and smiled impishly, "I'm sure it will."

Severus leaned towards, meeting Remus' lips tenderly while caressing the Gryffindor's face. They closed their eyes while Severus pushed his tongue inside Remus' warm, moist mouth. The smaller boy moaned as Severus took control over their movements. Severus pushed Remus on his back, laying half on top of him gently. He ran his hands up Remus' sides as he pushed his shirt up. Remus arched his neck to the side and whimpered under his lover, pushing his hips upwards to meet Severus. The dark haired boy pulled back for a moment, looking into Remus' deep blue eyes and softened his own features. Remus was certainly taller but still smaller in weight compared to him. He was beautiful and fragile.

"Gods, I want you."

"I'm yours, Sev. Always."

Severus growled and leaned down, placing his lips on the pale flesh of his neck and sucked on Remus causing the smaller boy to yelp and writhe under him. Remus reached up and allowed his hands to explore Severus' taut muscles, grasping him tightly. Severus took Remus' slender wrist and pinned him down with his hands above his head while he mounted him. He thrust his hips roughly against Remus and swallowed hard. Remus whispered softly, "What if someone sees us?"

"It's the middle of the night. I want you right here, right now, under the stars."

Remus' heart rate quickened and chewed his lower lip. He had never been penetrated before and closed his eyes tight. He trembled and nodded, "Claim me, then."

"I'll be gentle." Severus ripped open Remus' shirt and placed a trail of soft kisses down his body, breathing heavily against the exposed flesh above his belt buckle. He took Remus' hips into his hands and pulled him forward while kissing the small abdomen in front of him. He fumbled with Remus' belt buckle and unbuttoned his trousers, freeing the werewolf's manhood. Remus stretched his arms out and grasped the blanket tight in his fingers, "Oh god." Remus wiggled his hips back and forth when Severus engulfed Remus deep inside his mouth. The tip of Remus' cock hit the back of Severus' throat.

"Severus! Gods, Severus! I'm going to ...AH!" Severus smirked to himself, squeezing Remus' tight arse and allowed his fingers to find Remus virgin orifice. He pressed in a finger gently and sucked on Remus hungrily. The sensations were unlike anything Remus had ever felt in his life. The small whimpers escaping Remus' mouth stirred Severus' own desires. He pulled off of Remus and directed him to turn over on his stomach. He cast a quick lubrication charm and inserted another finger, working on loosening up his virgin boyfriend. Remus settled on his hands and knees, pushing his bottom up higher for Severus. He quivered when the fingers retreated and he heard Severus' zipper and then the belt buckle hitting the blanket behind him. He turned his head around to steal a glance at his lover, pushing his bottom up slightly more.

Severus' breath hitched at the site of Remus submitting to him. He wrapped his long fingers around his throbbing cock, guiding the bulbous head at the entrance. Finally, he pushed in slowly and Remus bowed his head between his arms, taking his boyfriend and trying not to clench. Severus rubbed the small of Remus' back soothingly to reassure him. He gently pushed in further and further, containing his desire to push in to the hilt. He didn't want to break the beautiful creature on his knees before him. Severus bit his lower lip at the sight of Remus' back muscles tensing under the moon's light.

"God, you are so beautiful," Severus said as he pushed in slowly deeper and deeper. He situated himself on his knees behind Remus and placed his hands on the other boy's hips to steady both of them. He quickened his pace as he pumped Remus, the punishing thrusts making Remus throw his head back and the long pony trail resting between his shoulder blades. Severus took hold of the soft hair and pulled Remus head back with one hand while keeping his other hand on his hip. Severus rode him fiercely, claiming his lover and filling him with his throbbing cock. Remus spread his thighs out a bit and pushed back on Severus, accepting all that he gave him. The girth of Severus' cock was overwhelming but he wanted this...he had to take it. He reached his hand on his own cock and stroked his lengthy penis. Remus' entire body tensed as he came, his bottom clenching around Severus buried deep inside. The sensations drove Severus' mind to another level and dug his fingernails deep into Remus' flesh. He rose a hand up and let it fall with a sharp slap on the moving bottom beneath him. He released his essence inside Remus with a forceful rumble. He leaned forward while moving, slowing his pace down, and releasing fully deep in the walls of Remus.

Severus leaned down, kissing the space between Remus' shoulder blades. "Gods, you are amazing."

"Uh huh..." Remus laid flat on his stomach, unable to articulate more than two syllables. Severus laid beside his lover and ran his fingers over the spent boy beside him. "Are you all right, love?"

"I'm...fine...sore...fine..." Remus said through deep breaths. Severus smiled and pulled Remus closer. He weakly raised his wand and performed a quick cleansing spell on both of them.

"I am going to miss you so much, Remmy."

Remus curled up on Severus' chest and sighed happily when the dark boy protectively wrapped his arms around him. "I'm going to miss you, too. I love you, Sev."

"I love you, too."

"Never would have thought any of this would ever have happened."

Severus smiled and nodded. "Who knew that we'd be friends, much less lovers?"

"I would have it no other way."

"Do you think your parents will be all right with...this?" Severus asked while motioning his hand between them.

"I'm sure it won't be a problem. I mean, my dad is a bit old fashioned. He accepted my being a werewolf. Why not me being gay?"

"If you feel it'll be all right, then it is your decision to tell or not."

"It'll be okay. He's a good man down deep."

"Let's spend the rest of the night here. Thank you for giving yourself to me by the way. It's such an honor being your first."

"First and, I hope, last. I do love you."

"I know, love," Severus said with an impish grin.

Remus chuckled at Severus' comment. "Such a Severus thing to say."

"You would have it no other way, Wolf."

Remus rolled his eyes, "Bat."

Severus reached a hand around and smacked Remus' naked backside playfully.

Remus, Severus, and the Marauders stepped off the train with their trunks. Remus wrapped his hand into Severus' and looked around for his parents. Severus clenched his jaw, not feeling comfortable at the packed train station. Remus looked at his lover and asked, "Where is your mum?"

"Mum usually doesn't come. I can see myself back home."

"Oh, okay. Oh, there's your parents, Prongs," Remus pointed and James smiled.

"I'll see you soon, Moony. Have a great summer," James said and waved them off. "You too, Snape."

"I guess I'll go now. I see mother," Sirius groaned and rolled his eyes. "Don't do anything this summer I wouldn't do."

"That leaves an open agenda of things," Remus said with a chuckle and waved him off.

"I see my parents, too. See you in a few months, guys." Peter pulled on his trunk and left Severus alone with Remus.

"I hope they didn't forget me," Remus said with a nervous smile. Severus stood in front of Remus and brushed his hand on his lover's cheek. "It'd be impossible for anyone to forget you."

"You're too sweet."

"Don't say that too loud."

"Still worried about appearances?"

"Possibly a little," Severus said with a smirk and stood directly in front of Remus. He leaned forward and gave Remus a kiss. They broke apart when they heard someone clearing their throat behind them. Remus looked up at the older man. Severus turned around and saw a man that had Remus' eyes and features. Severus stood in front of the older man and nodded, "Mr. Lupin?"

"I'm John Lupin here to pick up my son. Remus, are you ready?"

"Sure, dad. I was just saying goodbye to Severus. I'd like you to meet him. He's my boyfriend," Remus said with bright eyes and looked between him and Severus.

"Severus, is it?"

"Yes, Sir," Severus replied.

"And you two are in a...relationship?"

"Yes, Dad. We've been together for a few months."

John arched a brow and nodded, crossing his arms over his chest. "Well, we must be headed along now."

"Where is Mum?"

"She's sick, in the hospital, and couldn't come along."

"Is she all right? I didn't know she was in the hospital."

"She has come down with pneumonia. She'll be in the hospital for awhile but should be fine. The doctors are taking good care of her."

"Oh, can we go see her?"

"We need to go home first. Come on." Severus reached his hand out to shake John's. The older Lupin looked at Severus' hand for a moment and finally shook it after hesitating.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'll see you later Sev," Remus said and leaned forward to quickly kiss him goodbye. Severus arched a brow when he saw the scowl across the elder Lupin's face.

"Remus. Now."

"Yes, Dad. Love you, Sev."

"I said 'now', young man." Remus arched his neck at his father's tone. He waved to Severus and followed his dad. Severus watched the fleeting backs of the pair and raised a suspicious eyebrow.

The car ride back to the Lupin residence was one in silence. Remus looked over at his father's fingers around the steering wheel and he noted his knuckles turning white. He looked up at his father's face and saw that his jaw was set tightly. He cleared his throat for a moment and said softly, "It's good to be back home, Dad. I've missed you." John made a disapproving sound and looked at his son for a moment before turning his attentions back to the road.

"Dad? Are you all right?"

"We'll talk when we get home, boy."

"Have I done some-"

"When we get home."

"Yes, Sir." Remus slouched in the passenger seat and looked at the fleeting trees. He looked at the odometer for a moment and noticed his father was going well over the speed limit. Remus swallowed loudly and closed his eyes. He had a very bad feeling about this...

When John pulled into the driveway, he put the car in park and turned off the engine. He cleared his throat again and wrapped his fingers tight around the wheel.

"Go to your room and wait for me, boy."

"Dad? What's wrong?"

"Go to your room right now and wait for me."

Remus inhaled deeply and furrowed his brow. The last time he had been ordered such a thing was when he stole a piece of chocolate and then lied about it. He was shy of being eight that time and his dad punished him. But what had he done wrong this time?

"Dad? What have I done wrong?"

"Boy. If you don't get your ass in your room right now, it'll be worse."

"I don't understand, dad."

"Remus John Lupin. Get your scrawny little ass to your room and don't make me tell you again."

"Dad, please. I'm sorry. I-I-"

"Still a stuttering mess that can't follow a simple instruction. Fine, you don't want to do this the easy way," John got out of the car and forgot to turn off the car's headlight. Remus thought his dad should get that headlight repaired. It'd be difficult for his dad to see at night with just one headlight. Remus looked at his large shadow cast on the house as he moved in front of the vehicle and to the passenger side. He slung the door open and grabbed Remus by the scruff of the neck. He yanked his son out of the car , walking him across the front yard, and pulled him through the house. He pushed Remus to the center of the bedroom he hadn't seen since Christmas Holidays. Remus raised his hands up in surrender, his voice shaking as he pleaded with the older man. Surely to Merlin this was a dream. His dad loved him and supported him through his lycanthropy. He even made him a special room to transform. He knew his Dad loved him. Right?

"D-da-da-dad?"

"You, boy. You embarrass me by kissing a boy in front of everyone at the train station. I didn't raise you to become a gay boy. It's already bad enough I have to hide your secret of being a werewolf. Now you're off snogging boys openly!"

"Dad? Dad? I don't understand. I thought you loved me. What are you going to do to me? I love you," Remus asked as he watched his dad approaching him. John moved his fingers to his belt buckle and started to slip the thick strap through the loops. Remus eyed his father's actions and stepped back. His back hit the wall and he looked up at his dad towering over him.

"Please, Dad. Daddy. Don't, you don't have to do this." Remus winced. He hadn't called his father 'daddy' in years but he didn't know what was going on. He had never seen his father so enraged at him before. Was he doing wrong?

"I can't cure you from being a werewolf but I'll be damned if I let you waste your life away. I'll cure you from this-this perverse disease."

"I'm not p-p-perverse. I love Severus."

John's face turned bright red and he reached forward, grabbing Remus and threw him on the bed face down. Remus clenched the blue duvet in his fingers tightly and looked out the window. The car's one headlight shining through his room. He looked up at his dad while laying flat on his stomach. He swallowed hard and his dad moved to his side, rising the belt and lashing out at him while he held Remus down by the back of his neck. He contacted his back and bottom callously. Remus yelped at each strike, "No, please! I didn't do anything wrong. Stop!"

"You will cease this relationship or whatever you call it with that-that Severus! You will not be gay!"

Remus laid weakly across the bed and cried into the blanket. "I love you Dad. Please, please. I love him, too! I don't understand."

"Who are you? You're not my son. You've changed! Turned into a little slut!"

"I haven't changed! I'm n-n-not a s-sl-slut!" Remus tried to crawl away from the lashings but his father pushed him down harder, holding him. He turned Remus over and looked at the tear stained face of his son. He saw the tears coming from Remus' blue eyes and lifted his hand, slapping him across the right cheek. "Stop your crying and take it like a man! You deserve this, boy."

Remus stared into his father's face, shaken by what he was doing to him. The car's light illuminating the older man's rage. He rubbed his face tenderly and yelped, "Dad? Please stop. I'm s-s-sorry."

John looked at his son and felt the fire rage deep within him. He couldn't allow his only son to be this. He couldn't. Remus was his only son and he'd beat this out of him if he had to. He didn't take in account how much he outweighed the smaller boy as he straddled him, not letting him up. He had to cure him of this disease. The son who'd already be ostracized for his lycanthropy. Remus let the tears of hurt, pain, and confusion fall down his cheek with every utterance of revulsion his father hurled at him and fist.

Remus took in a deep breath when his father finally got off of him. He curled up in the fetal position and covered his face with his hands. Remus flinched at the sound of the door slamming shut and curled close to his pillow. He pushed himself from the bed and walked limply towards the mirror in his room. He looked at the bruise forming on his face. The headlight casting light on it and the boy bowed his head while the tears continued. The pain in his frail body was overwhelming but not as excruciating as that in his heart. He never thought his dad would do this to him. He knew what he felt for Severus but he also loved his dad. How on earth did things get so jaded? Remus knew what he said to his dad was true that he hadn't changed. However, he knew that he wasn't the same.

A/N: A few people wanted a continuation to the story. I have a reason for the abuse scene to go with the story (I hated putting Remus through that) but it is necessary to go along with the story line, unfortunately.
