26. Heat

Heat.

Remus loved it; every little thing about it.

He loved the word itself; the letters that made it what it was. It was such a simple word, but completely divine in its own way.

He loved the feeling it provided to his skin; that sensitive, burning sensation.

He loved every place it came from; the sun, water, fire, everything that contained any form of life.

The reason Remus loved heat the most, though, was because it was what he felt every time Sirius' skin touched his. He burned and he blazed. He was consumed.

And it was love.
