Characters: Nymphadora Tonks & Remus Lupin
Day 14: Song: Cradle - Atomic Kitten
Nymphadora Tonks gazed upon Remus Lupin's sleeping form. The one time Marauder was asleep on the sitting room couch, one arm pillowing his head, the other laying across his stomach, his long legs dangling off the edge of the too short couch. He looked peaceful, almost innocent, in sleep; so unlike the worn and tired expression he always had nowadays. Being a spy was beginning to take its toll on his normally sunny disposition.
Remus was so special to her; he was unlike anyone she'd ever known. Despite being shunned by almost everyone due to his werewolfism, he was always friendly and optimistic; so brave and strong. Even with the numerous scars, she couldn't help but admire his soft brown hair, kind brown eyes, and sweet smile. To her, he was beautiful.
Tonks quietly went and picked up a quilt from a nearby armchair. Amazing herself, she stealthily covered the wizard without waking him. His head turned a bit towards her and his mouth twitched into a quick smile before, once again, going slack.
She couldn't help but wonder what Remus was dreaming about; she hoped it was her. As she looked at his pale lips, a warm, tingly feeling slowly flowed throughout her chest. The auror suddenly wondered what it would be like to kiss him. What was it about him that made her think, and feel, this way? Was this love?
Giving in to the urge, she brushed his hair away from his brow and gently pressed her lips to the corner of his mouth. Against his cheek, Tonks murmured, "Goodnight, Remus" before softly leaving the room.
