wanna end this.
Chapter Eight.
Remus's arms where around Severus's neck as they awoke around the same time as each other the next morning, have stayed in the dungeons the night before.
"Good morning." Severus placed a light kiss on the corner of Remus's mouth.
"G' morning." Remus whispered.
"Tired?"
"M-huh." Remus nodded, closing his eyes, and snuggling closer up to Severus.
Severus ran his fingers through Remus's unruly hair, placing his other hand on the man's shoulder, pulling him closer. His arms wrapping around his body, his hand grazing the other man's shoulder softly, the ring he wore around one of his fingers cold to the skin.
"What time is it?" Remus looked up at him, with clear crystal eyes.
"Almost time to get up. Or else we'll be late for breakfast, and we wouldn't want that to happen, now would we?" Severus loosed his arms around him, instead pushing back a few locks of hair from Remus's forehead.
"Oh." Remus was suddenly shy of his obvious nakedness, and being so near to Severus.
His hair was still damp, from the night before, not having completely dried, but had begun to sort of puff out making his face look a little rounder, and more wolfish. It was something that was frequently annoying to him, but there was nothing he could do about taming his hair. It was almost as if he had been distantly related to the Potter's, and inherited some weird hair gene.
Severus smiled, "I have to get up now, but feel free to make use of the bed as long as you like."
"What are you going to do?" Remus asked, looking up at him.
"I have to go have a little chat with Dumbledore. I'll be back in a little while." Severus slid from the bed.
"Oh. Okay." Remus shrugged, "I should probably go over some of my…ah…lesson plans."
"If you don't want to stay here alone, just say so." Severus whispered.
"Well, it's kind of frightening to be down here all by your lonesome; but I really have to work on my lesson plans."
"I'll see you later then." Severus kissed him softly, before heading for the bathroom, leaving Remus to gather his clothes.

Remus sat in the teacher's lounge, a horde of papers around him. He was behind on his grading, and correcting of papers, and he was using his all of his free time to catch up. Severus had offered to help him, but he preferred to do it himself, without magic, so then he could be sure all of it was correct, and there where no "bugs" in his handy work.
"Remus…" Severus sighed, "It's nearly two in the morning…aren't you going to come to bed, soon?" Severus yawned, from where he sat a few seats down.
"Um…actually, why don't you go, Severus? I'll probably be here awhile longer." Remus waved him on.
"Remus, you need your sleep as much as I do. Put the papers away, and lets go to bed." Severus put his arms around him; awkwardly since they where in chairs.
"Okay, okay." Remus yawned, "Your probably right."
"I know I'm right. C'mon." Severus pulled him up, "Just leave the papers. I highly doubt anyone will come and take them."
Remus sighed, staring at his partner, "All right…what ever you say."
"You know I'm right darling." Severus whispered, and pulled him gently from the room, and up a few flights of stairs to his bedroom.
"Sev-" Remus stopped him, as Severus began to busy himself with removing his clothes.
"What's wrong?" Severus asked, moving his hands from Remus's clothing.
"Not tonight. Please?"
"I was only-"
"I know, Severus. Just…please not to night."
"Oh…all right." Severus sat on the edge of the bed, biting his lip, as Remus went about undressing himself.
