The thought that Tonks may have actually wanted a kiss from him did not cross his mind. Remus was too worried about misbehaving, going too fast, or scaring her away. Or all three. Her cheeks looked almost as pink as her hair, and Remus was sure his did too. "Yes, it was," he said with a quiet laugh. "I'm glad I was around," Remus told her honestly. He was glad for multiple reasons.
He was thinking of a number of unattractive things to make his body calm down. House Elves. The Fat Lady that guarded the Gryffindor dormitories. Goblins. This wasn't an effective strategy as he still gazed at Tonks's pretty face. He gave her a little smile and turned to continue walking with her in the direction of the theater. He put his hand in his pocket, still wanting to hold her hand but trying to make himself calm down before he touched her again.
