thank you for your request <3 fem!reader
That morning, Remus pulls you down into his lap with a smile that says please, gives you a little thank you kiss when your head lands on his thigh, and spends the hours before lunch stroking the slopes of your face with his fingers while you watch TV. If it were anyone else you would struggle to believe heâd do it for nothing, that this isnât because he owes you, or that he's started a particularly tender form of foreplay. Heâs just touching you to touch you, occasionally leaning down when he remembers youâre there to kiss your nose.Â
You turn to stare up at his jaw. You can see the scruff of stubble coming in. He usually shaves everyday, but todayâs Sunday, a rest day for you both. You donât mind enduring a scratch whenever he kisses you, though, and you wonât complain, raising a hand to his neck to stroke skin youâd kissed last night before bed.Â
He put a glass of water on the nightstand heâs started calling yours with a coaster and a nice smile, walked back around to climb into bed himself still wearing it. When he laid on his side across from you and pulled the blanket up to his shoulders, he made sure it was covering you too, telling you he loved you with a smushed kiss pressed somewhere between your mouth and your nose. Youâd hidden in the curve of his neck to hide how happy it made you.Â
âIâm gonna make sandwiches for lunch, if thatâs okay. And maybe cut up some fruit, do you want that?â he asks, peaceful, his hand slipping down to your neck and sewing gently across it like a hug. The weight of his hand is strange. He could press down and hurt you, but he never would.Â
âYouâre gonna make it yourself?â you ask. Heâd said âIâm gonna make itâ.Â
âIs that a problem for you?âÂ
His hair falls in his eyes as he leans down. Youâre sick of seeing him the wrong way up but youâre not wanting to move. You should know already that heâd simply find another way to be affectionate with you if you did move, but this is too nice. Heâs always so kind.Â
âIâm gonna help.âÂ
âI can make two sandwiches by myself, thatâs okay. Then for dinner weâre gonna have,â âhe strokes your neck with his thumb as his voice turns to a softer shade of itselfâ âpasta, do you think? Something nice and fancy, vodka and chilli with heavy cream, orâŠâ He hums. âYou look tired. Can I have a kiss?âÂ
You pick your head up. Remus puts a hand behind your back and your eyes close before heâs reached you, scrunched tightly, cruel heat behind your nose.
Quick kiss. Quicker question. âWhatâs wrong?â he asks, curling his hand closed behind you to soothe you with his knuckles.Â
You shake your head, and tell him, âNothing,â though you regret this and decide he deserves honesty, and praise, too. âThanks for being so nice to me. Youâre always nice to me.âÂ
Remus cups your cheek. You open your eyes like he wants, relieved to find him not laughing or judging you, simply smiling. He does seem startled in the set of his brows, if only mildly. âYou know, nothing in me wants to be mean to you. Youâre easy to treat gently.â He rubs your cheek back with his thumb. âBaby,â he says, which is rare on his lips but said with his usual quietness, âyouâre easy to be nice to, because youâre you. You deserve it more than anyone.âÂ
âRemus, youâre just kind.âÂ
âNo. If Iâm kind itâs because you pull it out of me. I look at you and youâre so beautiful,â âheâs laying it on thick now, sincere and teasing at onceâ âyouâre so lovely, I don't even think about it.âÂ
You rub your cheek against his chest. âLove you,â you whisper, not wanting to cry and ruin a nice moment.Â
âLove you,â he says back.Â
Remus slouches to encourage you higher, your face sliding into the space below his chin like he was made for you to rest there, his face falling to the side of your head. He wraps both arms around you to take the pressure off of your twisted back, another thoughtless gesture that gives away how much he likes you. He starts kissing little slow lines down your cheek to further prove your point, murmuring something you canât make out, likely far too kind.Â
