Pink And Beastly (Ronks)

Chapter 3

Your minds might go a little 'Woah' at a part. Just a small warning and I hope you enjoy.

------------------------------------------------------------

A week had past since Remus had moved in with Tonks, and things couldn't be better. Their love was growing ever stronger, as was the danger.

Remus woke up one morning with the sweet smell of Jasmine in his nose and a small warm body against his chest. Tonks's pink hair was a little messy. Remus could see her face. It was soft and peaceful, she looked happy, and he couldn't help but smile. He gently stroked the middle of her nose with his right index finger. She sniffed a little bit before cuddling him a little tighter. But the tickling soon woke her.

"Wha-" Tonks groaned. She stretched and sat up slowly. She noticed Remus looking sweetly at her and smiled.

"Morning." She yawned

"Morning love. I was watching you sleep." He replied, kissing her forehead.

"Why?" She asked, her tone cheerful and sleepy. She rolled over on his chest so she could face him. He kissed her nose, making her giggle.

"You look so adorable when you sleep." He replied.

"Thanks." She yawned again. She rested her head again on his chest, wishing to fall asleep once more.

"Aren't you going to say something nice about me." Remus asked, purposely sounding sad.

"Do I have to?" Tonks asked "Um...your chest is comfortable and warm and makes a great pillow?"

"Thank you." He said, satisfied with her answer

He yawned and stretched. Tonks was breathing softly, she was asleep again. Looking at the clock next to their bed he saw that it was almost lunch time. He gently shook Tonks awake, much to her displeasure.

"Why?" She sighed

"It's lunch time. And you said we had things to do today." Remus said.

Sighing she rolled off of him. Remus breathed in deeply, not realizing how her weight had cost him some oxygen space.

"I'm going for a shower." Tonks announced as she sleepily walked out of the room with a purple towel around her neck. Remus nodded before sitting up. He quickly got dressed and waited for Tonks to finish showering. He ate some toast and looked around. He still couldn't believe how lucky he was. There were several boxes lying around, their job for the day was sorting everything out. In Tonks's case, sorting things out without breaking them. That hadn't gone very well so far.

Tonks came stoking down the stairs ten minutes later, hair dried, pink and fully dressed. She sighed as she sat at the table beside Remus. Remus kissed her lips briefly before drinking deeply from his cup.

"You alright?" He asked

"Yeah just tired. And we have more boxes to sort out." Tonks replied, rubbing her eyes. He wrapped and arm around her and hugged her.

"Are you sure it was alright for me to move it? He asked

"Yeah it's fine, I really don't mind. I just forgot how much work it is." She replied.

"Well we should probably get started." Remus chucked. Tonks nodded and stood.

Two hours passed and the downstairs rooms were almost completely empty of boxes, the attic on the other hand was almost full with boxes.

"Do you really need all that?" Tonks asked under her breath. Thankfully he didn't hear. They were just pushing the last box onto the pile, when it fell and covered them with the thing inside. They coughed and spluttered as it settled.

"What is that?" Tonks coughed, doubled over and coughing hard

"Floo Powder. I have a lot stored safe. You know, for emergencies." Remus replied, wiping the Powder out of his eyes

"How many emergencies do you expect there to be?' Tonks exclaimed, shaking her head to get it out of her light pink hair. The couple climbed down the attic stairs and dusted as much of the powder off as they could, but a lot of it still remained.

"I think I might go for a shower to get this off. Is that ok?" Remus asked, beating some powder on his shoulder.

"Remus, you live here as well. You don't need to ask." Tonks replied

"I know, sorry. But I am going for a shower, care to join me?" He asked, holding out his hand

"Shower...with you?" Tonks confirmed

"Yeah, if you want." He replied

"I'd like that." Tonks said cheerfully, taking his hand loosely in hers and following him into the bathroom.

The shower was long and sweet. By the end, they were definitely clean as they were in there for half an hour.

"That was nice." Tonks sighed happily as they cuddled up on their bed.

"Best shower I've had in a long time." Remus agreed.

Tonks was going to rest her head in his shoulder, but was stopped by a passionate kiss on the lips.

"I love you." He whispered, brushing his lips against hers.

"I love you too." She said softly before closing the gap again.

Tonks fell asleep first. Remus's arms wrapped protectively around her, head resting near his heart, body on his. He kissed her head before closing his eyes, and drifting off to a pleasant sleep of sweet dreams.
