A tiny little angsty Frank/Remus ficlet done for today's
30_hath prompt: Why art thou not in love, and lov'd of all?.
(Sometimes it isn't about love.)
Fandom: Harry Potter.
Pairing: Frank/Remus.
“Wait,” Remus breathes, “wait, I thought we weren’t playing this anymore,” and he tries to move away, but Frank’s pale hands are caught in his hair in his robes and he’s not letting go.
Frank sighs against his skin. “Please listen,” he says, lips brushing Remus’s throat in another kiss. “Please, Remus, I need…” He presses in closer, whimpers.
It’s all Remus can do to keep his eyes open, to keep still, to go against the call of instinct and resist temptation. “Need me?” he asks, soft-voiced. “Not your wife? Not your son?” He frowns and pushes Frank away.
His eyes are wide and luminous in the moonlight as he stares up at Remus, unblinking. “No, no, I need you, don’t you see? I made a choice. I made a mistake, Remus.” He reaches out again, but Remus flinches back.
“You’ve said that before,” he reminds him, coldly. “I’m not letting you do this to me again.”
