Closing the door behind him as quietly as he could, Remus made his way inside the house and shrugged off the traveling cloak he had been wearing and that was now soaked because of how hard it was raining. He would have done something to prepare himself for the sudden change, but since the weather where he had apparated from had been extremely different, and he had been in such a hurry, when he had apparated a few feet away from the front door the rain had instantly surprised him.

That need to get inside had only been heightened, however, so at once he hurried for the door. The change in temperature was enough to make him start shivering as he raked his fingers through his hair, even after he dried the clothes and cloak with a charm so that water puddles would not accumulate in the entrance.

"Remus?"

Rubbing a hand over his arm to warm himself up again, he couldn't help the way that his lips tugged into a smile at the sound of that voice. The rain kept beating against the windows, but at the moment that was the last thing that he focused on. His attention shifted from being cold and wet just a minute ago, to just being back.

He was home, finally.

"I'm sorry," Remus said quietly as he sat at the edge of the bed, "I didn't mean to wake you. And I did not mean to keep you waiting, I just--"

But before he could continue, lips were already being pressed against his own as he was gently pushed back on the bed as well. His body responded at once; his arms immediately looped around that body that seemed to fit perfectly in his embrace, his lips returned the kiss just as hungrily, and unconsciously he let out a soft moan as he felt the way that he was being mounted at the hips.

Slightly breathless, he pulled back and tilted his head slightly to the side, eyes twinkling. "Mmm... Missed me as well, I take it?"

"You could say that..." Through the darkness he could hear a smirk that made him chuckle under his breath again, but it got caught in his throat as he felt the way that soft kisses were being placed along his neck. "You are home, after all," came the murmured reply. "We need a proper homecoming, don't you think?"

Instead of answering, Remus simply tightened his hold and closed his eyes as a particular spot on his neck was suddenly 'exploited.'

He was home. Finally, after being gone for what felt like years.

A proper homecoming sounded like the perfect idea, indeed.
