Backpedalling
"I don't think I can do this, Severus. It's not me. I can't lead. I can't make Bill's transformation any easier... I can barely deal with my own changes, let alone anyone elses."
Severus eyed Remus as he paced the room. "You feel you've made a mistake?" he inquired of Remus after Bill left to retrieve the necessities for the evening.
Remus sighed and sat down on the bed. "I... I don't know." He looked up at Severus and shook his head. "I spoke before I could think, and now I have committed us to something... something I don't entirely understand."
Severus arched a brow. "Something you don't understand? What is so difficult to understand about taking care of what must be done? Seeing to Weasley? If Greyback could do this, then why can't you?"
Remus looked up at Severus and blinked. "Are you mad? Greyback kept the witches and wizard under control with fear and threats. He gave in to the wolf and permanently became the animal we are forced to live with once a month." He swallowed, his face draining of colour as he spoke once more. "I've always fought to not be that person, and I am. I'm turning into Greyback."
Remus closed his eyes and bowed his head, placing his hands over his face.
"Hardened criminal now, are you?" Severus rolled his eyes. "Idiot."
Remus's head snapped up. "Pardon?"
"You aren't deaf and I shouldn't have to repeat myself."
Remus narrowed his eyes at Severus. "Maybe not, but I asked you a question. Now answer it."
Severus watched the change come over Remus and pushed him a little bit further. "I'll not repeat myself, especially when it is something I have said before."
Remus snarled and lunged at Severus, slamming into him. The force shoved Severus back against the wall, and Remus breathed over Severus's neck, pinning him against the wall. He licked Severus's throat, tongue swirling over the scar on Severus's neck.
Severus writhed against the wall, trying to loosen Remus's hold on him. He realized that perhaps aggravating Remus hadn't been such a good idea when their bond had been so fragile. He needed to test it though, just to be certain that Remus could handle anything Weasley brought into their relationship. "Remus..."
Remus growled against Severus's skin, and Severus shuddered. He reached up and ran a hand over Remus's back trying to soothe both Remus and the wolf. "Moony..."
Remus snarled and Severus tensed, now knowing he'd made a mistake in forcing Remus to face his fears immediately. He leaned his head back, baring his throat to the wolf, and showing his submission. "Perhaps I was wrong to suggest a liaison with Weasley so soon..."
Severus felt Remus's tongue sliding over his skin and he closed his eyes, waiting for the wolf to make his decision. "I can tell him that it is impossible for you to help him."
Remus growled and sank his teeth into Severus's throat. Severus cried out, and at the same time over Remus's low growl, Severus heard a gasp. Opening his eyes Severus saw Bill.
He barely had time to raise his hand, fending off Bill as he drew his wand and pointed it at Remus.
