Oh, thank god. *flops down in relief* I did remember about Monday this week, for once (!), and have been anxiously awaiting this installment! YAY! I am also so cheerleading for Teddy, but now I have to back up to the beginning first. Okay, first: detailed rimming ftw! *squirm* Man, that was beautiful writing. I loved all of Teddy's hesitations and desires and oh, he's just so young and eager and squeezable, isn't he? :)) I love seeing Remus through Teddy's eyes, too, and the way Teddy is always sort of second-guessing what Remus is thinking or feeling, because he won't say very much. It makes him so sexy and mysterious, heh. :)
But then, eeeeeek!!! Even though I was expecting the angst train to hit, I still wasn't ready for it! My heart just dropped to my feet for Teddy when Remus wouldn't put an arm around him or comfort him, as if they were 'breaking up' with no condolences. :((((((((((((( *sobbing* I really felt all Teddy's confusion, even though he knows it's for the best. Poor boy! And poor Remus! Oh, what a tangled web they have woven. :((( But also, clearly, Remus won't be able to stay away for long, mwhahaha.
And Andrew!!! YAY!!!!!! Oh, Teddy and your fucking-avoidance! I was so worried that he was going to lose his gay virginity in some quick fumble, or worse, in a way that hurt or he didn't enjoy. :((( I'm so glad he took matters into his own, um, hands. :) Also, oh yes, Teddy Lupin, YOU ARE THE KING OF BJs NOW, MM-HMM. And oh, just - *squishes them both* I'm so, so glad he didn't do anything he wasn't ready for. Except, now I'm totally in favour of him going back to Remus and telling him his first time with penetration needs to be with Remus, because he'd be careful and make it good and all of that, and uh, kind of blackmail Remus with the threat of doing it with Andrew. *nodnod* :/ Okay, my wishes are warped, I know. BUT! BUT! IT REALLY WOULD BE BEST, WOULDN'T IT??? Because then he could go back to Andrew and be a sex god and everything would be okay!! :/ Hm.
ANYWAY, point being, this was lovely and much needed this morning as I face another harrowing week. :)) I'm just tickled so much about Andrew, because I think Teddy's view on the whole lessons thing will shift if he does start dating someone else, because then Remus/Sam will make more sense to him, and the way Remus can compartmentalize Sam away from what he has with Teddy, and just, yes, Teddy needs to be able to compartmentalize Remus as well. *nodnod*
