Severus could barely think over the wild pounding of his heart. He hoped the werewolf could not hear his heartbeat. He licked his dry lips nervously, "Does that mean you're not gay?"

Remus laughed, "As gay as a maypole." His smile faded, as his eyes met Severus's. "Severus, are you…?"

"Going now? Yes, I must go," and he Apparated instantly, without another thought.

He arrived back in his dungeon rooms, mercifully unsplinched. He couldn't understand his reactions; his heart racing, his breathlessness. If it weren't so absurd, he might even think he had… feelings for the wolf. Of course not.

Severus groaned. If only he didn't feel like such a fool! Apparating away without explanation – the bloody werewolf must think he had gone mad.

Still, Severus had faced more difficult situations. Voldemort was worse than this. Much worse. This was a simple delivery of Wolfsbane to a werewolf. Quite straight-forward. A matter of Apparating to London, knocking on a door, exchanging a few words as a matter of courtesy, and leaving. Nothing challenging or difficult.

Calm and resolved, Severus picked up the flask and Apparated away.

He thought his heart might leap from his chest when the front door opened.
