Severus looked seriously at Remus and Remus wasn't exactly sure what to expect. There were many, many possibilities that could arise from Remus' request. There was the possibility that Severus was going to mock him. Yes, Remus was rather expecting that one the most. He had been expecting Severus to just walk away the most until Severus had fixed him with that gaze. And now all there was to do was wait for Severus to speak, which seemed to to be taking ages.
"This is-- what is this?" Severus finally asked, not looking up from the package Remus had laid before him.
"It... it is what it is." Remus shrugged and shifted uncomfortably, hoping to God Severus wasn't going to ask him to explain. Remus didn't even know why he liked it. He just did.
Severus let the satiny fabric slide between his fingers, his eyes critical and expression impassive. "Fair enough." He lifted his eyes and leveled a lofty gaze at Remus. "One condition."
"Anything." The trembling word was out of Remus' lips quickly.
There was another pause, this one longer, and Remus had the half mad idea that Severus might be toying with him... but he wouldn't do that, would he? Not after they'd been together this long. Not when Severus knew how difficult it had been for him to ask in the first place. Remus wondered if he ought to speak, but found his heart lodged firmly in his throat.
"Wait here," Severus said after the silence had grown deafening.
Remus did as he was told and waited as Severus disappeared, and when Severus returned a few moments later, Remus' eyebrows rose a fraction at what Severus had retrieved.
"If I'm wearing that, you will wear this. And... you will do as you're told."
Severus held up a thick leather dog collar and Remus swallowed, anxious desire sweeping through him at the finality of the second half of Severus' request. "I don't underst--"
"And I don't understand yours, so we're even, but... I'm willing."
"Yes. I'll do it," Remus blurted, then crossed the room, snatched the collar and gave Severus a hungry kiss.
Severus pulled away and gave Remus a look. "Put it on and I'll be back." And Severus disappeared again.
