A Real Family (Intruloceit Fan-Fic)

Chapter 18 - Kiss and Tea

Sorry this took so long... My motivation for this has slowly been dying, mostly because I'm frustrated that it's not turning out the way I wanted it to. I feel like it's become a lot of nonsense, although that's all my writing ever is lol. But uh, I'm trying to finish it. I want to finish it, I'm just not sure how... I kinda just forced myself to end this chapter and didn't edit it sooo who knows how it'll turn out. Also, I'm totally not sorry for the cliff hanger and I loved seeing people freak out. I'm evil like that lol >:3
Tw: swearing, snakes?, and talk of abuse, also my cringy kiss-scene-writing-skills

Logan's PoV

All I could do was nod. Coherent thought crumbling at the request before it was completely gone by our lips touching. Having never been kissed before, I was awkward and stiff but began to relax into the warm touch. Remus pulled away all too soon, but I was still effected by the soft kiss. My pulse had quickened and the blood vessels in my face expanded, also known as blushing. Memories of having similar reactions when Thomas had a crush came from somewhere deep in my mind.

"I know I'm not good at it...but please can you do that again?" I was barely able to speak above a whisper for reasons unknown to me.

"You'll learn." Remus nodded, wrapping his arms around my waist. My hands gripped his shirt as he pulled us against each other. "Just relax and do what feels right."

Once again, I found myself relaxing more and more in his arms and against his lips. I was figuratively melting. The intimacy and softness was a new experience for me. I still wasn't processing the situation, only experiencing it. The way our lips connected and moved together before parting for a second and repeating the process. When we parted one last time, our foreheads pressed together and we just breathed. Then I smiled. "I never expected this."

"I thought that it'd stay in my head, but we really kissed, didn't we? And hey, you learn fast!" Remus giggled and pulled back to look at me. His hands came up to cup my jaw as he pressed a kiss to my nose. "I got a bonus reward too. I got to see that beautiful smile of yours."

"You are- what's the word? A sap?" I laughed a bit, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"That works. Although lately, I'd be called a simp. There's another vocab card for ya." Remus grinned and wrapped his arms around me again. "Sooo, I assume that's your first kiss... How was it?"

"Perfect."

"Probably because this is a cringy fan-fic!" Well, fuck you too, Remus. You're welcome! Get out of my point of view, you guys! Sorry, Logan... [There's something wrong with me maybe?]

"Well, it went better than mine at least! Mine was a bit of a disaster!" Remus giggled. My thoughts cleared as I wondered what could have gone wrong. That was when I came to a sudden realization.

"Wait- Shit-" My eyes widened, and I stepped back from him. "What about Janus?"

Remus' eyes widened too for a moment before they closed as he laughed. "Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you! Come on, let's go talk in the lab."

I hesitated as he grabbed my hand and went to walk towards the lab. He paused and looked back at me. I looked away, frowning a little. I was so stupid. How could I forget that Remus already had someone to love?

"Hey," Remus spoke softly, squeezing my hand, "I promise there's no need to worry, 'kay? Will you please let me explain inside?"

I nodded slowly, following him to the tall building. How could I forget something so important? And why does the only one who truly cares for me have to be in a relationship already? Maybe Patton was right and I'm not meant to feel these emotions after all.
