Thank you!
I would like to take a moment to give a heartfelt thanks to our awesome Snupin Santa and the helpers for getting our little fest together. It was a blast being able to write my favorite men together again.
Thank you very much for your hard work!
Title: Thank: to express gratitude, appreciation, or acknowledgment to Rating: PG Word count: 344 Summary: Words have never come easy for Severus.
"Thank you."
Remus' eyes lifted from the words in his book to dart around until he found the source of the voice standing in the entryway to the living room. "I'm sorry?" His eyes locked with Severus'.
With a roll of his eyes, Severus shifted his weight from one foot to the other as he crossed his arms over his chest in defense to hide his embarrassment. "Thank you," he said again, albeit quieter than before.
"For what?"
Severus motioned to the room and to the chair in which Remus was currently occupying. When he didn’t receive a response, he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. Despite the years they had been together, he still found it hard to say the words that made his partner happy. "For this," Severus eventually said. "For our life together. For putting up with me."
Remus smiled. "You make it sound like it's a chore being with you."
"I haven't exactly made things easy for us." Severus watched as Remus pushed out of the chair and set his book on the table beside it.
"Who wants easy?" Remus walked over to Severus and grabbed his hands before kissing his lips lightly. "I knew what I was getting into." He kissed him again. "I've always liked a challenge."
Severus raised an eyebrow. "A challenge?"
"Mmm hmm." Tugging on his hands, Remus pulled Severus' body to his before kissing him soundly. He dropped Severus' hands to wrap his arms around his lanky frame as their kiss deepened. After all of their years together, the feel of Severus' lips against his never failed to send his heart racing. "Thank you," he said softly once their kiss ended.
"For what?"
Remus' forehead came to rest against Severus' and he smiled. "For the best thirty years of my life."
Severus snorted. "Soppy werewolf." Pulling his head away, he reached up to run his fingers through Remus' fully grey hair as his eyes locked with his partner's. His voice was soft and full of emotion when he spoke. "You're welcome."
