Remus has been acting strangely lately, he's been very nervous and kind of withdrawn. It could just be because of the Order, but I had started to let those toxic thoughts in. I had been sitting in the dining room at 12 Grimmauld place since they all had left to go get Harry. Molly was with me and was getting dinner ready. They all walked in and Remus is at the back again, I focus all my attention on Harry and Sirius as Remus sits down next to me. I can feel the nervousness rolling off Remus. I head up to bed after dinner and Remus stays downstairs, I change into a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. What is up with him? Is he cheating? Am I not enough? Even though me and Remus have been together since the year after hogwarts, I still worry I'm not enough. The Dark Lord on the rise again did not help my anxiety. I climb into bed, grabbing my book and getting comfy.
I hated keeping a secret this big from Y/n, we shared everything and I could tell she was kinda being affected by me being secretive. She had even headed upstairs right after dinner, which is something she never did. She would usually stay up to talk or just be with each other. "Remus?" Harry says and I snap out of my thoughts. "Yes, Harry?" I ask and him and Sirius dive back into their plan for the next mission. I sigh and stand up, heading upstairs to me and Y/n's room. I open the door and see her curled up with a book, hesitating before walking into our room and shutting the door softly. I see Y/n glance up at me, her face softening for a moment before looking back at her book. I slowly walk into the bathroom to change.
Remus had just come in and was in the bathroom changing, usually I would've held my arms open and we would've cuddled, but I felt hurt. I heard the bathroom door open and see Remus come out and stand there staring at me. I look up at him and he smiles softly, I look back down at my book and out of the corner of my eye I see his shoulders slump. "Did I do something to upset you?" He asks softly and I ignore him. He rubs his face and comes over, sitting next to me and placing a hand on my shoulder. I shrug it off and here him take a shaky breath, I close my book and put it on the nightstand. "Y/n, darling please talk to me." He says and I hear his voice crack. I take a deep breath and turn to face him, I feel tears in my eyes as I look up at him. "I-is there someone else?" I ask and his eyes widen. "No, No, of course not." He says grabbing my hands. "W-why would you think that sweetheart?" He asks and I take a shaky deep breath. "Lately you have been secretive and I feel like you are drifting away." I say, looking down and he hugs me tightly, I cry softly into his shoulder and he cradles me. "I've never meant to make you feel like that." Remus says softly. I grab the back of his shirt and he holds me tightly kissing my cheek. "Princess, there never has been anyone else and there never will be.". I nod and pull away wiping my eyes. "I-I'm sorry that I made you feel like that, you do know your enough for me, right?"He says and I look down. "Baby...". I sigh and he holds my hands tightly. "You mean the world to me, and no one or anything will ever amount to that." He says and I wipe my eyes. "Why have you been so secretive?" I ask and he goes pale. "I-uh was gonna wait, but I think I'll do it now.". He reaches down into his pocket and pulls out a small box. "Remus?". I back up slightly and he hands me the box. I open it shakily and see this beautiful ring:

"Y/n, sweetheart. You mean the world to me and I can't fathom having to live without you in my life. You make my rough days dealable and make me a better person, you've been with me through thick and thin and I am forever thankful for that. I love you so much baby, so will you marry me? I didn't mean to make you think that something else was going on, I just really wanted this to be perfect.". I look at Remus and back down at the ring and nod my head. "Yes.". He takes the box from me and slides the ring on my finger. "I'm sorry that I ruined your surprise.".
"Nothing is perfect and I would rather propose to you here than anywhere else.". I nod and hug him tightly. "I love you." I mumble and he chuckles, laying us down. "I love you too, baby."
