16-the kiss up

Aaliyah immediately shut her mouth, noticing what she had just revealed. Her eyes warily made way to his and it broke her heart seeing how much scared he looked.

"Remus I-" she walked towards him, stopping instantly as he took a step back.

"How did you- how long?" he panickily questioned.

"Too long, Remus just let me-"

"Severus said it, didn't he" Remus accused, giving no heed to the brunette's previous statement.

"No Remus, please just- "

"It was that bloody essay, wasnt it?"

"Remus" she tried again

"Who and all know? Who and all know what a monster I am" he spits out, dread dripping from his words not because she knew about his condition, dread knowing that she'd be disgusted by him and wouldn't want anything to do with him.

"Remus", Aaliyah's voice cracks as she cupped his face "Don't you dare to ever call yourself that!"

Remus melted in her embrace, and his eyes drooped down "Its the truth Aaliyah"

"No Remus, its not" she caressed his cheek "You're the sweetest and the most generous man I have ever met, it doesnt matter to me that you transform into a werewolf once a month because I know, I know its not by choice"

He didn't think he could melt more into her hands, but he was proven wrong by how much angelic and soft her voice sounded.

"And you're not an M-word" Aaliyah sternly stated.

Remus snickered, creasing his eyebrows "M-word?"

"I don't support the word's usage, you can see it in my essay on Werewolves Rights" she shrugged "Once Quibbler actually publishes it"

Remus couldn't help but adore the woman whom he hadn't stop thinking about after meeting her in Yorkshire. And he couldn't help but think that she as a matter of fact loved the other side of him, which he had grown up despising. She looked perfect basked under the sunlight that seeped through the nearest window. He never realized how prominent and contagious her smile was.

Little did he know that the same thing went inside her mind. She never noticed how his perfect amber eyes would shine as the setting sun hit it. How beautiful he looked with his light brown lock curls sprawled across his forehead.

They never realized it, until now. Until they were in each others arms. Remus unsatisfied with the distance of her body wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer. But he compelled to his insecurities, the age gap, his condition, or the fact that he was his student.

Aaliyah felt a pang of hurt, seeing the look on Remus's face. The same face that she was familiar with due to their previous encounters and every-time they were this close of being intimate. 

Regret

Averting her eyes from his, she cleared her throat taking a step back from him. She couldn't stop the cracking up of her throat, "I'm sorry" her voice broke as she swiftly turned around intending to walk towards the door embarrassed but mostly hurt.

Before she could take another step forward, she felt Remus' hand tugging hers. She yelps lowly when he hastily spin her towards his direction, his large hands finally gripping her waist.

Without further ado he crashes his warm lips onto hers.  As soon as their lips met, they could feel the electricity running through their  entire body. After overcoming from the previous shock, the witch melts into the kiss as her hand slowly travels to the nape of his neck. Remus groans in her mouth  as he feels his hair being tugged from behind. What started to be a sweet peck turns into an intense passionate kiss with Remus deepening the kiss further.

When the kiss broke, they both rested their foreheads against each other, attempting to catch their breath.

"Can I kiss you again?"

Aaliyah chuckled nodding, as the duo leaned in for another kiss.
