REMUS LUPIN ONESHOTS

unfamiliar sun

The rain pattered lightly on the window of Remus' flat. It was a dreary cold October morning. The barely visible sun peaking through the clouds casting a soft light through his window.

He turned softly in his white sheets. His messy hair falling in his face. He checked the clock on his bedside table. It was just barely 10AM. He wanted to get up and make some breakfast but Y/N was cuddling closely into his side.

Her leg was tossed loosely over his. He tried breaking free of her grasp but was brought back by a gentle tug of his shirt and a "Stay." mumbled into the pillow next to him. An extra ten minutes wouldn't do him any harm.

But ten turned into thirty and here he was still stuck within his lovers grasp. Although his stomach was begging for him to eat something, staying next to her in these comfortable sheets made up for it.

She finally found the strength to open her eyes after being so tired from getting to Remus' so late. When she opened her eyes, his eyes were already fixated on her. She chuckled and put her palm over his eyes in embarrassment.

He placed his hand around her wrist and brought it back down. He put his arm around her back and she leaned in to give him a soft hug. Her face in his chest as he stroked her back.

The act of being this close was so intimate. Any type of touch could be intimate. Y/N was thankful for these moments, because he made her feel like a person. Even if it was just a hug, the fact that she knows that he appreciates her existence is better than any drug.

Her hands were cold, so she placed them under his shirt and laughed when he flinched. "Why are your hands so cold?" He pulled away from her, looking at her straight in the face. "Better question, why is your flat so cold?"

He sighed and pushed a few stray hairs out of her face. "I should make breakfast." "Please don't leave." She looked up at him with a sad face that was obviously fake to make him stay. Although he knew it wasn't real, he couldn't say no.

"But I'm starving." He pouted. "Oh shush. Just stay with me another minute and we can make breakfast." She placed her hands on either side of his face, pulling him in for a lazy kiss. He placed his hands on her waist to bring her impossibly closer.

Remus didn't know how much he could appreciate another human being until he met Y/N his fourth year at Hogwarts. He developed a crush on her almost instantly, and didn't think he would have her this close to him ever.

The wizarding world may been falling apart around them, but he appreciated those couple of minutes he got with her everyday where he didn't have to think about it.

She touched him and suddenly he was putty in her hands. Melting into her touch. She made him feel so alive. Time was relative, it moved slower when they were together. Almost as if it knew they appreciated every little moment they had together.

Once she pulled away from his lips, she looked back up at him and gave him a soft smile. It was so contagious, and Remus felt himself smiling back at her as she scratched the back of his head.

"It's raining." Her hands moving farther up his scalp. "That it is m'love." He closed his eyes and sighed as she continued to hold him. "That means we don't have to go outside." "If you don't want to." "We can stay in bed all day."

He opened his eyes. "This is true. But Y/N I'm terribly hungry." She rolled her eyes and removed her hands from his head. He winced at the loss of contact. "Well Lupin, you better go make us some breakfast and bring it back up here so we can stay in bed all day."

"Oh, so I have to do all the work now?" This time he placed his hands on either side of her face. "Yes, I'm sorry, but you have to." She sighed. He pecked her lips softly and got up to make them both some breakfast.

"Don't take too long." She yelled, leaning back into the pillow. "I won't. I know how impatient you are." She scoffed into the pillow. Muttering a soft "Shut up." that he wouldn't be able to hear.
