Challenge: Lusty Month of May 2010 Word count: 660
It had been two weeks since Remus had heard anything more than a prim ‘no thank you’ from Severus. Well, it seemed prim in print at any rate. He had probably pushed Severus too far in their last encounter, regretfully. At first, he’d been shocked when Severus admitted to being a virgin, but he wondered it there was still more to this story. He didn’t want to push, but he wanted to do something.
Perhaps he could appear at Severus’ doorstep in a Little Red Riding Hood costume, which was non-threatening. Right? It was also extremely perverted. Ok, not a good idea. Or maybe a grand gesture would do the trick; he could take out a full page advert in The Prophet. Bad idea. Severus would hex his balls off with no questions asked. So here he was stuck writing a note every three days with an invitation of one sort or another. He needed to get ready for work. An owl tapped at his window interrupting him. It was a note from Severus, who asked if they could meet tomorrow at the theatre. Remus dashed off a reply immediately. The answer was, of course, yes.
The next afternoon Remus slipped into the film Severus had indicated. The previews had not started running yet. Severus was seated against the back wall. Remus took the seat next to him.
"Allsorts?"
Severus snorted. "I believe the expression is 'it takes all kinds'."
"I meant liquorices." Remus replied.
"You would."
"Why are we here Severus?"
"Right to the point then, Lupin?"
"You always have been."
"We are here because the theatre is naturally dark and the seats face in such a manner that you do not see my face and I do not see yours. I have some things to tell you that I think you should know, but I do not want to see pity, or sympathy or revulsion on your face. So we are here." Severus paused.
Remus didn't want to push and he slid his hands under the outside of his thighs to keep from fidgeting.
The film began and Severus cleared his throat. "I told you the last time we were together that I had never done that. It is only true from a certain perspective. I had never been the giver, but I had been taken. It was during a Death Eater party. I use the term party loosely. Regulus had gone missing several weeks earlier and it was known amongst the Death Eaters that we were involved. Apparently, Regulus had bragged about his own prowess in our relationship. We had done things, of course, but never any type of intercourse. A couple of the party goers decided that I missed Regulus in that area and they would help me out. I had already had a few drinks and I was not on my best game." Severus paused and took a deep breath.
Remus could see his face in profile as he bit his lip.
"They used a partial petrifaction charm on me. Lucius came to my rescue eventually, but not before they'd each taken a turn at my dry. Well, the second was not dry but bloody."
Remus reached over and put a hand over his, grasping it tightly.
"No pity, Lupin. This is an explanation. I have always enjoyed the other aspects of sex and they seemed to be enough, but I find myself in the unusual position of desiring something even more intimate."
"Which we did." Remus responded quickly.
"Yes. However, I do not believe myself to be a coward, and need to find out about the other side even if I find I do not enjoy it."
"And I am safe enough for you to attempt it."
Severus' laugh was harsh. "You are in no manner safe, but you are trustworthy."
Remus brought Severus' knuckles to his lip and kissed them gently. "I know just where to start."
Severus snorted; Remus leaned over for a proper kiss.
