[There's a pile of books beside the beanbag this wolf is sitting in, a collection that seems to dip into some fairly advanced magic. Remus frowns as he flips through the pages. He's decided that he really ought to take advantage of his time here, and this little studying session promises to be the first of many. He seems preoccupied, though, and occasionally stares off into the corner of the room instead of at the pages before him, thinking about all he has to look forward to when he heads back to the cottage.]

[Rests his forehead on Remus' cheek.]

Least you won't be doing it alone.

[novumlupine]

[Laughs, if a bit sadly.] Did I ever tell you about that first time?

[thirdtimelucky]

Mmnope. You didn't like to talk about it much, even after we worked it out.

[novumlupine]

[Stares at the ceiling and waits for a long moment before he speaks. There are quite a few things he would never have done before.]

I was too small to do much damage. I was only eight. Nobody was expecting it - my parents came when I started screaming, but... then became scared and locked the door.

Obviously, I don't remember much. I know... that I thought I was dying, and then when I became conscious, I had broken my bookcase and... torn Great Expectations to pieces.

[thirdtimelucky]

God, Moony. [Twining their fingers together.] I can't believe you went through that by yourself.

[novumlupine]

I can't believe how much I hated Great Expectations when I was only eight. [Does it work for him to try to pretend that it doesn't matter?]

[thirdtimelucky]

It's a shit book, anyway. No porn.

[Sirius has an inkling of an idea... just an inkling.]

[novumlupine]

Not everything has to be porn.

[thirdtimelucky]

Joking, joking...



Anyway. This time you'll have our whole forest to run in, and I'll be there for you. And if you wreck any trees, you can throw the sticks for me later.

[novumlupine]

Deal.

[thirdtimelucky]

And rub my belly.

[novumlupine]

Ooh... might be too far.

[thirdtimelucky]

How else will you check me for ticks?

[novumlupine]

Eurgh- Sirius.

[thirdtimelucky]

It's an important part of dog ownership! I can't check myself!

[novumlupine]

You certainly can. You could right now.

[thirdtimelucky]

[Drags his shirt up and tucks it under his chin, then pokes experimentally at his stomach. It's toned and a little pale for summer, with a trail of dark hair leading down from his navel to disappear under his jeans.]

Heeeeere, ticky ticky ticky...

[novumlupine]

Stop- stop that.

[thirdtimelucky]

--you told me to... ah. [Sheepish grin.]

[novumlupine]

You are dreadful.

[thirdtimelucky]

You love me anyway. [Pulling his shirt down. Happy?]

[novumlupine]

Well.




Alright, yes, fine. I admit it. Your logic has defeated me.

[thirdtimelucky]

My prize is belly rubs.

[novumlupine]

Now?

[thirdtimelucky]

I'm not going to say no.
