You sighed softly as you dabbed the topical potion onto the newest gash adorning your lovers sleeping face. This one was supposed to help with scarring if applied correctly every few hours, and you didn't have the heart to wake Remus up just for this. But you also agreed that his face didn't need any new scars.
Not that you disliked the ones he already had. You assured him every chance you could that you found him to be quite ruggedly handsome. But you also knew he was sensitive about them, and you both decided that it would be prudent to try to prevent any more from forming.
He didn't deserve this. Any of this. He was too gentle a soul, too kind a man, to be forced to spend time in the company of a monster like Fenrir Greyback, even on the orders of Albus Dumbledore. It was infuriating, not just because these missions put him in literal mortal peril, but because the only time you ever got to see him any more were in the few days following the full moon. You cherished every single one of these moments. But it didn't help that in these brief windows of time, when you might be allowed to think of something besides the war, you were left treating wounds, regaling horrors, and dreading the moment when he would have to leave.
You swallowed back your tears as you gently massaged the potion onto a cut on his cheek, when you felt soft lips press into your palm. You inhaled sharply as you were met with amber irises behind sleepy lids, and he kissed you hand again, before his own fingers circled around your wrist, drawing your hand away. Your sorrow must have been evident, as he drew you closer and slotted his lips against yours. He was so warm and real. He was still here. You would suffer this agony with him, as long as he always came back.
