"I don't understand, Tonks. What is it? What is it that makes me so different from any other guy you've dated before? What's so special about me that you keep clinging to me and refuse to let go and move on. Or do you just cling to every guy until you have no other choice? What is it, because I just don't know dammit!"
"You're different," she said through the falling tears.
"What?" he asked. "What do you mean different? How am I any different?"
"You love me for me," she said as she wiped her face. "You don't ask me to morph into someone I'm not. You knew about my abilities since the day we met yet you've never asked or wanted me to look different. You fell in love with the real me. Not the idea of me. That's what makes you different from anyone else and that's why I can't move on," she said. "I'm afraid I won't find anyone like you ever again," she added with a whisper.
Remus could only blink at stare at her. She looked like a complete mess. Brown hair hung limply to her shoulders, bags under her eyes, mascara smudged on her cheeks from crying, old and dirty clothes too big for her smaller frame. Yet to Remus she never looked more beautiful.
"I…I," he tried but couldn't think of anything to say.
"What about me?" she asked.
"What about you?"
"What makes me so different from everyone else? You said you'll love me forever, even if I move on. But why?"
Remus smiled but it was bittersweet. "You're different."
"How?"
"You love me for me."
(A/N: long time no see haha! Whenever I think about the reason I love this pairing so much, I always think how they both found someone who loves them for who they are not what they are and that's what inspired this little drabble :) I hope you enjoyed!)
