"No, but I mean-" he stopped himself before he'd said something that would have told Remus in no uncertain terms who she was. "Sex," he said instead. "But it's just sex. We tried the dating thing and it ended spectacularly. We're much better as friends. In fact we're great as friends." And he didn't want that to end.
Dylan didn't comment on relationships, but he knew Remus didn't know what he was talking about. His own mother couldn't love him for who he was, how was anyone else going to? Besides, he didn't trust people enough, even if he trusted Dom more than most. But it was easier trusting friends somehow.
"I don't want her to have to practise not killing people because I happened to be around them. I touch people, it's who I am. I hug my friends and I get close to people I arrest or train with - I don't want her to have the urge to kill people because I happen to smell like them - and that's regardless of us being friends or more."
"My first instinct was probably right. I need to just stay away from her and let her live her life without me. As much as it sucks to lose a friend."
