It had been a quiet night at home for the two of them. The flat was new – well, as new as a moth-riddled, bug-infested flat could be –and there were boxes still strewn around, full of things yet to be unpacked.
For the moment, the two of them were holding each other close as one of Remus' old jazz records played a slow, soft song, and they swayed in time with the music. Remus had unpacked it shortly after they'd arrived at their new home, and it had been Sirius who'd tugged on Remus' hand, leading him to where they were now. Remus rested his forehead against Sirius', gazing into the others' eyes with a soft smile on his face.
It was the moments like this that Remus realized just how lucky he was to have someone like Sirius, someone who loved him despite his awful, scarred appearance, someone who looked past the werewolf and saw the gentle spirit that was the real Remus J. Lupin. Someone who whispered every night that he loved those scars, because they were a part of Remus, they were his past, his present, and his future. And even now, as Remus softly sang along with the song that played, he could see those words reflected in Sirius' grey eyes.
Remus recalled the time when he'd found his first grey hairs starting to come, and recalled how Sirius had just smiled, laughed a bit, and told him that they matched his eyes. That had been the precursor to one of the most passionate nights that Remus could recall.
So even though he had grey hair, used a walking stick to help him get around, was scarred, and tended to be jobless, Remus had someone who would love him...the kind of love he never thought he was worthy of having, or would never have because...who would want to date a werewolf? A wry smile crossed Remus' face, and Sirius regarded him with mirthful eyes. They said nothing, knowing everything the other would say, and their lips met in a soft reunion, gently.
This would be another night for Remus to recall fondly, as they christened their new living room with the sounds of love.
