I hope you all like it :D

Remus Lupin sighed deeply as he stared into the flame of the candle that stood on the table in front of him.

He felt miserable and a gaping emptiness inside himself and it was as if he had lost all of his happiness.

For days he had barely been able to eat or sleep, he had not left the house and he was not able to do anything.

It was as if all of his thoughts were circling around that one thing, he could not get it out of his mind and the flame of desire was burning deep inside of Remus' mind.

He was like a starving man who yearned to fulfil his need, he was restless, impatient.

Remus had sworn himself that he would be able to live without her and during the first days of separation he had been fine, but this morning he had woke up with a horrible feeling of loneliness.

And now he knew that he could not live without her, even though she was destroying him, he was addicted to her and he knew that being addicted was dangerous for someone like him, but Remus could not stop his feelings.

He desired her, even if it was reproachable, even if she gave him nothing in return for all the love he did spend. After having her, he would feel great for some time, but after that, when she had left him completely alone, he was feeling down again.

His friends had told him that he had to stop, that she was not good for him, that always coming back to her was wrong, that it would destroy him sooner or later, but he just could not stop to love her, to desire her.

So she had to remain his secret. His secret desire.

And now, as he stood up from his chair, he decided that he did not care if she did not love her back. He had enough love for both of them, he would not give her up.

"Come to me, you wonderful angel", Remus whispered as he opened the door, looking at her with all of his love.

A small smile did spread on his lips as he pulled the chocolate bar out of its hiding place in the cupboard.
