title: You, Me, and Some Other Things

word count:  1961

Y/N stares at the unread book that is clasped in her hand, her index finger marking the last page she left on. Laying on her side, she stares out the window that's next to her bed. The quiet stillness of the chilly winter evening is like an impenetrable force, floating in through the slightly ajar window. Her covers are pulled up and over her shoulders, cocooned in warmth. She's wearing a long sleeved Gryffindor battered quidditch shirt, a pair of fuzzy socks covering her feet. She slides her legs together crossing them at the ankles, and curling tighter into her mattress. She had run right up to her dorm room after classes, not even bothering to eat dinner. She couldn't, nor wouldn't, do this again. She hadn't looked at him all day, her eyes rimmed red and hands slightly trembling. She didn't want to remember it like this, never did. Each month became harder for Y/N to deal, staying up all night in worry, the fear that her boyfriend and even his rowdy friends wouldn't come back through the common room entrance. Lily, had spent many nights with Y/N, letting her lay her head in her lap and help try to soothe her finicky nerves. But when Sirius had casually mentioned that Remus had blacked out for a while after his last transformation, Y/N had decided she didn't want to do this anymore.

She sighs softly, shutting her eyes as a cool wind blows through the room, a slight wooing sound ushering it. Her silky smooth y/h/c hair falls into her face, covering half her face. By "this", she meant worry about it.  She loved him, she loved him so much it physically hurt her. With his high cheekbones and gentle touch, she knew, she was smitten for the sandy haired lanky boy. Watching him come in one morning a month cut up and bruised broke her heart, every single month. She had argued until she was blue and out of breathe, fists clenched so tightly that it seemed like there was no blood running through the veins within them. Relentless whining and pouting, and a few escaped tears too, but Remus hadn't budged a bit. She didn't want to seem so, damn fragile,  in front of him. She couldn't help it, the concern, the sleepless nights were killing her. She knew he couldn't do anything, and that all he wanted to do was keep her safe, but she craved being around him so much is scared her beyond measure, and to know that he was hurt and she couldn't bloody do anything, well that was enough for her to fight the craving for a bit.

There's a slight rapping at her dorm door, causing Y/N's eyes to fly open, turning her shoulder slightly to glance over it, peering at the wooden door with intensity. She's hoping, that she imagined  the door knob slightly jiggling. But when  she hears the distinct sound of a bag hitting the floor and someone shuffling against the door, she knows it's him.

 "Y/N, I know you're in there."  His warm, slightly exhausted voice wallows through the wood. Y/N bites her lip, shutting her eyes and moving her hand from the book, one gifted from him.  She knows he won't leave, quite stubborn he is. She sits up, running a hand through her hair and  kicks out of her warm safety cocoon, grabbing one of the spare blankets, Remus',  from the end of her bed and wrapping it around her shoulders as she gets up and makes her way across the room. She sits down on the ground, leaning her head slightly  against the door, her knees brought up to her chest.  

"You didn't come to dinner." He mutters, his own head leaning against the door. 

"Wasn't hungry." Y/N musters, reveling at the warmth of his tone.

 "Y/N..." Remus says, exasperated. She doesn't respond, one her hands dropping down from her knees and moving towards the crack under the door. Her fingers poke through the other end slightly, craving his touch.
