A/N: Sorry haven't written anything in awhile. I have been busy writing my other story (Jean Grey and the Bracelet. X-Men story if any of you are interested). Okay I don't have much to say but I am shocked on how many people said Mad-Eye Moody was the one that Remus ran into. No one said Mad-Eye Moody! I was hoping for one. All of you said Snape. Good little people... I mean nice people. Not little. :-) If you find any mistakes (spelling) a little note...WordPad doesn't have Spell Check! Have to download Word.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I wish I did. Even a little saying in here with the little 'things' around it is from a song by Scott Emerick and/or Toby Keith. Pick one they both did it. Um... The only thing I do own is the plot. And again I sometimes wonder about that. I think the credit goes to the people that live in my head. If you like it, I did it. If you hate it, the people in my head did it. But onto the story!! Weird....The song just came on. I listen and write story. :-)

Summery: Nothing much. Snape talking to Remus..Remus getting upset. Really upset.

Chapter 2

Confrontation

~~~~~*~~~~~

Remus Lupin was walking down stairs and just stepped into the foyer when he looked up from the ground and three inches away from the last person he didn't want to see him like this. He quickly reached his hand up and with one smooth swipe, wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Hello Severus," Remus said forcing a smile on his tear stained face.

"I see Potter found you," Snape said in a cold voice like it was Harry's fault that Remus was crying.

"Yes. We had quiet a talk," Remus said and looked around the foyer seeing if anyone was around.

Snape saw this act and raised his eyebrows. Deciding not to question it he looked back into Remus' face. He had this weird emotion in the pit of his stomach that he never felt before. It was anger, and sadness. And if he didn't know better he would have thought happiness also.

"There is nothing to be happy about," Snape thought to himself.

Remus looked into Snape's eyes and looked away quickly. He could never stare into those eyes for long. Not like Sirius' eyes. Sirius' eyes were not troubled. There was always something there. A spark, or a sparkle. Once in awhile even a fire. But Severus' eyes never had such a thing. His eyes where always troubled and dark. Not a sparkle in them. Remus turned around and started back up the stairs. He couldn't remember why he even came down the stairs. He was unaware of Severus following him tell he spoke up.

"Are you alright?" Severus asked.

"Fine," Remus said in Severus' usual cold voice. It not only frightened himself but also Severus. Severus was never nice to him, he still didn't know why, but this was beyond weird. Severus was being nice and Remus was giving him the cold shoulder.

"Remus," Severus started then stopped as he watched Remus walk into his room and slam the door. Remus stayed in the master bedroom with Sirius when he was....alive. Now he just stayed in there most of the time, only to come out to eat, feed Buckbeak, and to talk to the Order. Don't forget the full moon time though.

"Remus," Severus said again leaning his forehead against the wooden door. He almost fell forward when Remus threw the door opened and stared into Severus' eyes. This time Remus took a step back. For the eyes that held trouble before, held sadness. Remus was about to cry again but swallowed and stared at him.

"Want to scream. Want to yell. Not want to be me anymore," Remus said with a tone of anger crawling into his voice. His hands started to shake and he shoved them into his pockets.

"Remus," Severus said again reaching to touch Remus' shoulder but instead he pushed open the door and walked in and sat on the bed, "You are living in the past. You have to start living in the future. See what is here for you. See who needs you."

Severus was about to say I need you but stopped before he could. He always liked Remus. Got jealous of Sirius because of it. Sirius and Remus were not only friends but they had more there. Severus always liked looking into Remus' eyes. Waiting to see his green eyes with a sparkle in them.

"I like the past, Severus. I do not get hurt in the past," Remus said bowing his head as he turned to face Severus.

"Remus, listen to me. Sirius will always be with you. As long as he is, nothing can hurt you. As long as I am hear nothing can hurt you," Severus said then stopped and stared at Remus. He didn't mean for that last part to come out as well but it did.

"I know that Severus," Remus said in his usual, soft tone. Severus didn't know which part he ment but it was good either way. Remus sat down on the bed and Severus patted his back. He knew how Remus was feeling. Having lost someone. Yet he didn't know the whole ordeal. He never really did loose someone he never had. But he is trying to gain him back.

Remus sat there on the bed with his head in his hands trying not to cry again. He wouldn't let Severus see him like that. He wouldn't break down again. As he took a breath a saying came into his head. 'And it struck a nerve, and it hit a vein everytime someone brings you up.' Remus wanted to laugh, wanted to cry, wanted to throw something but he did nothing. He just sat their for a while then looked up into Severus' eyes.

END!!!

Okay sorry. Quick and easy. Had to make it fast. Well what is there to say? Okay okay okay, I didn't mean to make it slash but I love reading them. But nothing has happened so far. Except crying. What do you think? Shiver down my spine. Wow. Okay anyways I hope you read and Review it. It is 1:30AM. I always write my stories at night. Habit.

Reveiws:

Chilly: Thank you. I will continue it. As you notice this is chapter 2. And it isn't called Comfort. It is called Confrontation. So until we get to chapter called Comfort then we know that the end is near.

Kandi: I demand that you read the next few chapters. And you can't hurt me. :-P (Old friend everyone. Moved to Virginia a while ago. I'm sad about it.Have to take my anger out of something. Why not in stories? Remus is going through how I feel.)

Kiyoshi: I'm to predictable then. Yes it was Snape. I was thinking either Snape or Mad-Eye Moody. But that would seem weird wouldn't it?

Becki: Sorry it turned out this way but I do hope you read it and enjoy it. It makes me happy to see reviews in my inbox from people who like my stories.
