COMFORT
Snape heard muffled cries coming from the upstairs
room and sighed. He traversed the
stairs with a warning glance at the portrait of Mrs Black, if she so breathed
said a word… She said nothing, but was smirking.
Snape entered the upstairs bedroom and found Lupin
sitting on the bed sobbing into a pillow.
The other man stopped and looked up at Snape.
"Severus, I'm sorry if I woke you."
The Potions Master shook his head. "You should be the one getting some
sleep, Lupin you've hardly slept at all since…"
"Don't
say it. Please."
Snape nodded in respect. He had no love for Black, though for some reason, Lupin's cries
pained him.
Lupin sighed.
"Why did it have to happen?
I know what you'll say 'Black and Potter were fools, if only they
listened to me.' "
Snape said nothing.
"Perhaps
they were, but Black did not deserve to die.
Oh I suppose you would believe otherwise … Oh, Severus, I'm sorry…"
"No need
to apologise, Lupin."
"If it's
any consolation to you, I know how close you two were."
Snape began to leave after a long silence.
"Don't
go," Lupin's voice was barely a whisper.
Severus turned.
"Please
don’t leave me…" Tears began to stream down Lupin's cheeks.
Snape sighed inwardly and sat on the bed.
"I need
you," Lupin said softly.
Snape felt uncomfortable, though Lupin was fragile at
this moment and he didn't want to upset him any further.
"Hold
me…"
Snape became more uncomfortable to first, but as he
placed his arms around Lupin he relaxed.
"Thank
you, Severus, thank you," Lupin whispered.
A few moments later, gingerly Lupin kissed Snape's
lips and stroked his pale cheek. The
other man blinked. Lupin's eyes smiled as he kissed Snape again. This time, despite himself, Snape returned
the kiss. The osculation became
deeper. Lupin slid his hand around the
back of Severus' head, stroking his jet black hair. Snape did not want to admit how pleasurable that felt as he
sighed inwardly. Lupin's hand ventured
down Snape's back. Snape held Lupin,
kissing his cheek. It all seemed to be
happening so fast, but Snape went with the flow.
"It's
time we changed," he said.
"Into nothing at all."
Lupin's eyes twinkled and he nodded. Snape began to undress him, letting his dusky
pink and cream robes fall to the floor, and Lupin did the same.
"I can't
believe this is happening," he said.
"Neither
can I."
Snape kicked off the remainder of his thick black
robes, expecting to feel cold, but when Lupin placed his arms around Snape's
slender body, he realised he had never felt so warm. He just sat there for a few moments feeling Lupin's warm naked
body against his and his gentle breathing.
Slowly, he kissed Lupin's cheek again, his hand venturing down to the
other man's slender waist. Lupin
whimpered. Snape smiled, his touch having the desired effect. He kissed Lupin's tender lips once more and
held his waist gently. Lupin sighed and
ran one of his hands down Snape's slender neck. Severus arched his throat enjoying the pleasurable sensation
before Lupin's hands adventured elsewhere to his bare chest and over his flat
stomach. Snape almost whimpered, but
controlled himself, although he gave a slight shudder. Lupin smiled and sighed himself as Snape did
the same, his hands Lupin had always imagined to be cold as ice, were only
slightly cool and pleasantly so.
Snape's cool hands touched Lupin's warm ones. The ex-Hogwarts Professor opened his eyes for a few moments,
taking in his newfound love. Snape smiled and stroked his cheek. Lupin began to kiss Snape's hand gently,
then took the other man's hand into his and began to caress it. Snape had never been touched like this
before, it was a novel experience for him and a very beautiful one. He wondered how he could have ever hated
this man he now held in his arms. Gently, Lupin pushed Snape down onto the bed,
caressing his bare stomach. Snape did
not protest, he was glad Lupin had taken a little of the initiative. Lupin's hands ventured upwards and combed
their way through Severus' thick black hair.
Snape sighed ever so softly and Lupin smiled. At last, a reaction. The
two shared another kiss, this one a little more passionate than the last. Any discomfort that still lingered on
Snape's part vanished as he held Lupin in his arms. The other breathed out, his breath warm against Snape's cool
face. Snape leaned over Lupin, kissing
him again, before beginning to caress the smaller man. His hands, now warmer began to venture
around Lupin's chest and stomach, the other man shivering with delight. Snape smiled as he continued, never before
having given such pleasure to another and it felt wonderful. He expected nothing in return, not even
Lupin's gentle touch, though he received that without even asking.
Lupin lay Snape down and began to massage him.
"You're so tense," he said.
"Let me help you."
And Lupin's hands began to relax Snape's tension, some
he didn't even realise he had. Lupin
smiled warmly and kissed Snape's soft lips.
Snape wondered how long the feeling would last.
"Stay
with me," Lupin said softly, as if reading his mind.
"I'm not
going anywhere," Snape promised, his voice soft as a whisper.
The two embraced once more, holding each other all
through the night.
