Remus had invited Severus to dinner. Of course, Severus had refused. He’d had an ace in the hole however. Harry had given him two rare giant blue lobsters. These creatures appeared every four years for a few weeks and Severus had a weakness for them. Once Severus had declined the invitation, he had outlined his menu of cockles with malt vinegar and white pepper, lamb’s lettuce with a prawn dressing, blue lobsters with drawn butter, and bittersweet chocolate fondue. The acceptance had been grudging, but Severus would help him out with the lobsters just this once.
The table was set. The candles were ready to be lit. Drinks were on the sideboard. He had wine available as welll and the perfect pants on under his trousers. Remus took a deep breath; there was no reason to be nervous. It was just dinner. And Severus had agreed, probably for the one and only time. The bell rang, Remus shook his body out. He was ready.
Remus watched closely as Severus sipped his wine and carefully chewed the delicate bits of cockle meat. There was no mention of the dish, but Severus cleaned his plate as they spoke of Quidditch and football.
“I had a crying fit after I was bitten and my parents took me out of football. Of course, I was still in a Muggle school couldn’t tell anyone why and became the class sissy. ”
“We have something in common then. I had a crying fit because my father wanted me to play football. So instead of my peers taunting me, he declared me the biggest sissy for all time.”
“Time for better things.” Remus got up and lit the candles on the table, before dressing the salads and putting them in their places. “Let’s eat.”
Severus brought his glass to the table. The salad went smoothly enough; the lobster got messy. Remus had split the lobsters lengthwise and the tail meat came out easily enough, but once they got to the legs and the claws, primal instincts took over. They cracked, dug and dipped the hard won meat in butter. Remus licked and sucked his fingers more and louder than necessary; Severus just shook his head. Butter dribbled down Severus' chin and Remus playfully swiped a piece of lobster in it, before popping it into his mouth.
"Lupin!"
"Sorry, Severus! I couldn't resist. You are completely edible you know."
Severus rolled his eyes and returned to his giant crustacean. They ate in silence for a few minutes, before Remus snatched a piece of claw meat out of Severus' fingers with his teeth.
"Lupin! That's barbaric! I demand one of yours."
"Of course." Remus took the claw he'd already cracked and dipped it in butter. He held it up to Severus mouth. Severus deftly seized the morsel from Remus' fingers without any contact.
Severus looked smug. "I am not playing your game."
"Yet." Remus added quietly.
They finished their meal without further incident. Remus pulled out his French press and made coffee. They settled into the overstuffed chairs in the lounge. Severus sniffed the cup appreciatively. "The house elves cannot make coffee like this." he sighed as he took the first sip.
After Remus poured them both a second cup he brought out dessert. As promised it was bittersweet chocolate fondue with a touch of almond liqueur. The was a tray of dippers accompanying it included: pound cake, pretzels, pitted cherries, bananas, and pineapple. "Can I get you anything, Severus?"
"Lupin, it is quite obvious what you are doing."
"I'm covering things with chocolate for dessert. That's what it looks like that's what it is."
"I was not born yesterday." Severus looked suspiciously at the chocolate.
Remus dipped a piece of cake and brought it up to his mouth, before he changed course and rubbed the chocolate onto Severus' chin and throat.
"Lupin!"
"Don't worry. I'll clean it up." Remus licked and Severus' chin and worked his way down. He reached across and dipped a pretzel and brought it to Severus' lips.
Severus shook his head. "How do you know all my food weaknesses?" he asked before grasping the salty-sweet treat from Remus' hand.
"You know mine."
"Yes, I do. Chocolate. It helps, really. Such drivel. I am surprised the students didn't work it out."
"It's not my only food weakness."
"I have never observed another." Severus furrowed his brow as he thought.
"You. You taste amazing in any form."
"And now you want to cover me in chocolate."
"If I might."
"Lupin, we are not in that kind of relationship."
"What kind of relationship is required for chocolate covering?"
"This is not a romance."
"Is it romance that I want to cover your nipples in chocolate and lick it off? Or romance because I'd love to dip your cock in it and lick it off there? I'd want the creamy filling you'd add when I was finished devouring you."
"Is that an offer?"
"Yes."
Severus reached over and dipped one long finger into the warm chocolate, brought it to his mouth and slowly sucked it from his finger. "If you must."
