🌙 REMUS LUPIN X READER ONESHOTS

perfect

Your hand froze midway its journey to a door, on which you were about to knock. You were hesitating, debating endlessly whether it was a good idea or not.  There was a reason Remus asked you to not come by for a week, after all.

So far, you always listened. He was shocked that you did not run away after finding out about his condition. He could not believe that your feeling for him was stronger than fear of what he was turning into every month. That you loved him hard enough to accept it and with your gentle smile hold his hand when he cried the tears of relief.

But, there was one condition. You could be tolerant, you could beg but he never let you get close to him when full moon was coming. Every month there was a week when you simply had to stay away and let him recover. He kindly refused when you told him that you could help somehow, reasoning that it was too dangerous.

Yes, it was, but only during transformation. You only wanted to be by his side when he had turned back, to tend on him, but Remus was too stubborn.

And so, this month you had decided that you had been staying away for too long. That you allowed his fear to seep into you and left him all alone. Maybe he never told you, but you knew that a part of him needed your presence while recovering.

You took a deep breath, letting the cold autumn air fill your lungs before you exhaled and finally your knuckles hit the wood in three strong knocks.

It took him a while, but soon you heard hard thumping and the door swung open, revealing a weary face.

“Oh, Remus…” you whined as your heart sunk in concern. He looked beyond exhausted, his skin pale, almost colorless, his eyelids heavy and barely opened.

“Y/N, I told you not to come here,” he whispered as you pushed your way past him and closed the door behind you.

“Well, since I already am here, I am going to take care of you,” you announced and head to the kitchen first, rummaging through the drawers. It wasn’t your first time in his house, you and Remus had been seeing each other for over a year now and you were seriously considering asking him to move in together.

“Please, I’ll be fine,” Remus said and approached you, placing a hand on your shoulder. You looked at him and smiled softly.

“I know, but let me help. I will fix something to eat, so why don’t you take a nap? Did you even sleep?”

“A few hours.”

“Go to bed then and rest.”

“I don’t have much choice, now do I?”

“No, not really,” you said and shook your head slightly. Remus sighed with resignation and you cradled his face, making him look you in the eyes, “what’s the matter?”

“You should be scared. You should leave me and never come back. I was expecting you to do it and yet you are here as if I wasn’t a monster.”

“Because you are not one, Remus. You didn’t chose to be a warewolf, you didn’t ask  for it. And I’m not afraid of you. I know you won’t hurt me.”

He forced a smile, still not convinced. You were aware that it might take more time, to make him believe you and trust your words.
