Remus wanted him, and no one else. Exclusively. Permanently. Commitment ( ... )

"It's not that," he said softly, fear of self creeping into his voice despite his best efforts. "Not really." Although that was a heady enough thought to deal with, Remus somehow knew that Severus was quite serious about wanting all of him, wolf and man and anything in between. It was part of what him love the other man so deeply. No one else had ever shown him the kind of total acceptance, without illusions, that Severus did ( ... )

To see, to feel, the hear the sincerity of Remus' concern for him merely added yet another layer of wondering affection to that which he already felt for the other man ( ... )

"Of course I'm cautious where you are concerned. Why else would I have followed you to Malfoy's ball two months ago?" Remus was more than content to hold and be held for the moment. Here was acceptance and security and comfort. Experimentally, he allowed a hint of a growl to color his voice. "I won't let anyone hurt you, Severus. Not Malfoy. Not 'Dora. Certainly not myself."
It was a surprising thing to find out Severus enjoyed the displays of what Remus thought of as his more 'amimalistic' nature. The growling and biting had always been things Remus thought of as 'strictly werewolf' traits. He'd been with two women in the past -- one who shied from any display of dominance-play in bed and one who nearly demanded it. The latter had been another werewolf.

Laughing, in spite of himself, he used the tangle-hold of tawny hair to leverage up to kiss away the teasing smile.
"You are absolutely incorrigible," he said, his voice thick with amusement. Kissing Remus once more, he settled back against the pillows, enfolding his arms across the smooth skin of Remus' back ( ... )

But, this, being with Severus, this was 'easy'. Not that they didn't have their difficulties. They were neither of them 'easy' or 'simple' men to get on with. Yet, being together, creating an 'us' out of a 'them', seemed to come so comfotrably, not effortlessly, but right. It felt right to return to consciousness after a transformation and find Severus in his bed, to settle in to sleep entwined together as though each would protect the other as they slumbered. Laughter and smiles were not forced or faked, but grew like flowers in spring from the genuine warmth and freedom of self they found in each other ( ... )
