Lupin gazed at retreating Severus' back. He wasn’t sure should he sigh in relief or frustration.
What the hell was that?
He could feign that he was unaffected by that ... Lupin sighed, it seemed to him that kiss would be too much to call it. It was an attack, carefully designed to intimidate.
Then again, one does not use his tongue to caress, and one does not moan while intimidating. Attack or not - one thing was more than sure, he’ll have a hell of a time from now on.
Years of control over his urges taught him not to react. Or at least not to react immediately, and that was only saving grace Severus had. Not in a million years, he could imagine that Severus would choose that to scare him off.
Remus chuckled. If he only knew.
Well at least he did guess correctly, Severus was far from - prudish. Still, not having a problem to snog a bloke doesn't necessarily mean that Severus was into blokes. And he might have guessed by now how poorly aimed his plan was.
I was handsy. Remus admitted to himself.
During the entire time he chopped and brewed and kept eyes on Severus - his lips were tingling, the taste of Severus lingering on. And when the potion was done - he simply couldn’t resist.
The tips of his fingers still vibrated from the touch of Severus' too warm skin. He couldn’t resist not to explore at least just a bit. With an almost gentle smile, he thought of all those hidden spots he detected.
Remus had to admit, Severus had a great control - the twitching under his fingers was barely noticeable. If he didn't look for it he would have missed it. There was a chance that Severus didn’t have to apply any self-control at all and that-that was just a simple minor reaction to stimuli.
Remus sighed.
Whether Severus reacted to him - the idea he prefered but deeply doubted, or was merely enduring his molestation - he needed a long icy cold shower.

The next few days turned out to be as frustrating as Remus imagined they would be.
The sounds from Severus' room continued, even increased in volume. And Remus spent many of those nights under the cover of silencing spell, letting his imagination run wild.
Severus, on the other hand, spent most of the time in his room, locked away, grumpy and sombre.
With all the jabs and barbs and sneers coming from Severus, Remus thought that he would lose his patience. But there was something, something underneath all that - the slight variation in Severus' tone of voice. An odd look when Severus thought that he didn’t notice.
Remus was wondering if his imagination played a trick on him or not.
Each day, for at least a few times, Severus would emerge from his room and demanded from him to apply ointment. ‘A fitting punishment for forcing him to burn. ’
Remus sometimes wondered if Severus was trying to gauge how much that situation rattled him. Well, it did, but not in a way Severus hoped. Still, he wasn’t one to look a gifts horse into mouth, so he dutifully continued to apply medicine, relishing in the smooth glide against Severus' skin.
Of course, there was a burst of guilt after that.
It went against everything Remus believed. He felt almost dirty for such blatant use of Severus' ignorance. And each time he promised himself that he will tell Severus. And somehow he always failed to tell.
It wasn’t that he would lose Severus' friendship. He never had that. This was completely selfish - he would lose the opportunity to touch, to be near Severus. He nearly got addicted to Severus' scratchy ‘Enjoying yourself, Lupin? ’ followed with a smirk and something deeply hidden in dark eyes.
And then, there were those moments when Severus would just relax, his muscles melting the tension away and he would just linger under his touch. Harsh features softening and having a distant almost longing expression.
Severus was a puzzle Remus just couldn’t solve.
Days melted in Remus' mind. He did feel at least a bit of guilt, seeing how slowly Severus healed. That only gave him motivation to faster finish his work and to be nicer to Severus.
He took on making breakfast and bringing it to Severus' door, knocking gently on them. He daily brought fresh herbs to Severus, asking should he dry them or preserve in any other manner. And bit by bit he managed to persuade Severus to spend evenings with him. They would sit in the room reading while sipping tea in amicable silence.
Halfway through all this Remus finally realised - he was courting Severus.
Not that he had any idea how to court anyone, little less Severus. The man was like a wild and dangerous animal at best of times. Not to mention that Remus still didn’t have any idea if Severus would be inclined to even consider him as potential... what?
Severus' love for Lily was a glaring proof of man’s preferences.
And then there was that - kiss.
