Remus looked away from his parchment, quill, and ink. He gaze traveled to the left side of the room—the Slytherin side his mind reminded him—and focused on a certain Slytherin.

Lucius Malfoy seemed completely focused on the blackboard, but Remus knew better. He was covertly looking over at Remus without any of his friends being any wiser of it.

Remus sighed morosely. It was his bad fortune that he fell in love with a Slytherin. One that was betrothed to his best friend's cousin at that. And it was even worse that he entered into a secret relationship with said-Slytherin.

He didn't know how long he could deal with the secretiveness. It was slowly killing him on the inside, especially when he saw Narcissa Black lay her hand on Lucius's forearm, as if she had any right to touch him. And what really hurt was she did have the right. She was publically acknowledged as Lucius's future wife, and all Remus could ever hope to be was Lucius's dirty little secret.

How long would it be before Remus was strong enough to walk away? He truly didn't know the answer to that.

With all of his musing, he didn't realize that class was over until Sirius nudged him. He looked away, gathered his stuff, stood up, and followed the Marauders to the door, ignoring the blond who owned his heart, soul, and body.

And that night, when Remus left the dorms after curfew, using James's invisibility cloak to hide himself, he went to the usual classroom, breathing in deeply when he came upon Lucius already there.

The cloak slipped off of him, and he moaned when Lucius roughly pulled Remus into his arms, kissing him with hard lips.

Remus eagerly returned the kiss, putting all of his feelings into it.

When they parted, Lucius harsh hold gentled, and his eyes softened. "I love you," Lucius murmured.

And just like that, Remus's worries immediately left his mind. He knew this was wrong, but he also knew he loved Lucius in a way Narcissa never would. And he knew he would never let go of Lucius if he had any say in it. "I love you, too."

He would stay with Lucius to the end of time if he was allowed to. No one and nothing—Narcissa or guilt—would make him end this relationship. He was in too deep for that.
