Nymphadora's ears are closed to his apologies right now and he feels a right bastard. Her ears have heard everything from him. His manifestations of love, his protests at how their relationship could possibly work, dirty jokes from Sirius that are now lodged in the back of both of their minds. Right now however, her ears are ringing with his latest objections to her latest surprise.
Remus' ears have heard every contradiction to his standpoints that the world has to offer. "You're taking a ridiculous line…" from Molly, "…more love in the world…" from Minerva, and now from some of his past students (and part of the Weasley clan) that "it's about time you had a family!"
He creeps up the staircase, stealing into their bedroom and seeing one of her small ears peeking out from underneath the blue flannel sheets he has grown so accustomed to wrapping himself in during the night. He knows that her body will be stony against him, because of the hurt he has put her through and for that he feels completely and utterly ashamed.
Slowly he crawls into their small bed, taking her hand in his, tucking a foot in between her ankles, closing his eyes as he wraps his arms around her tightly and sliding a leg over hers.
Gently he kisses the back of her neck, stroking his fingers across her back and up into her hair, turning her gently in order to kiss her nose and stroke at her torso gently.
And then, then Nymphadora's ears hear the words of complete and utter joy that she had been waiting to hear since her announcement, and her whole entire being lights up with elation and in one fluid movement and many aching moments later she has forgiven him.
Eeee! Sorry for the delay! My internet went out, but at least I got it done eh!
