Spencer watched Snape's back as he left, Remus only looked at her.
Once the door was shut, they both spoke.
"Are you-"
"I'm fine" she nodded as she continued to cry.
"Love," he dropped his bag, "it's alright" he hugged her.
"I know," she said against his chest, "I know it's alright."
He caressed her head, waiting for her to finish crying.
She chuckled lightly, pulling back.
"I- am fine" she laughed. "Really."
His brows furrowed.
"Everything is going to be okay" she shrugged, wiping the tears of her face.
"Would you like a bath?"
"We don't have a bath?" she smiled. "Unless you remodeled our bathroom."
"Come with me" he reached for her hand.
"Wait-" she stopped them before they got to the door, "I need clothes."
"You can borrow mine" he smiled.
She nodded in response.
Remus stepped outside, still holding onto her hand.
"Are you sure we should be doing this?" she asked in a whisper.
"We won't pass any paintings, relax" he answered.
"Remus-"
He stopped walking.
Remus stood in front of her, letting go of her hand and placing his on her shoulders.
Few seconds passed before he kissed her.
Spencer got on her toes, allowing him to stand straight. She could feel the smile on his lips.
"Relax, okay?" he pulled back.
"Yeah" she blushed. "I'm relaxing."
He laughed before grabbing her hand and leading them to his room.
"They just put one in" he opened to door to his bathroom. "Multi-purpose."
She nodded as he turned on the hot water.
He walked toward her, his hand holding her pijamas and ready to take them off.
"Wait" she whispered.
She turned them back into her uniform, smiling as she looked back up at him.
He shook his head as he looked the other way with a smile.
"Now" she said.
As ordered, he took off her dress shirt and unclipped her bra.
Remus let his fingers linger on her skin, making her blush.
He got on his knees as he took off her pants and underwear.
"I missed you" he kissed her belly.
"Yeah?" she said sweetly, running her hand through his hair.
"Mmh" he nodded, she felt his breath.
"Wanna show me how much?" she asked.
"I feel like I should," he caressed her leg, "purely for clarification purposes" he added.
He moved her right leg slightly, opening her up.
Spencer felt herself throbbing as he ran his finger on her entrance.
"Purely for clarification purposes" she nodded.
"But the water is running" he stood up, taking his hand away.
Spencer punched him in the shoulder, "jerk."
"Your jerk" he smirked.
Spencer shook her head, trying not to show her smile, before getting into the tub.
As she looked back at Remus she saw he was taking his clothes off.
Spencer stared at his figure, not taking her eyes off him.
"Are we a couple that needs to plan sex now?" she asked.
Remus chuckled, "If we are, add an event to your calendar. Professor Lupin plans to fuck me in 40 minutes" he got in the tub.
"And how do you know I'm not busy?"
"I know you'll cancel your plans" he smirked.
"I think I'm able to reschedule" she shrugged.
"Come here" he replied, wanting her closer.
"Please?"
He smiled, "come here, please."
She put her back on his chest, laying her her on his shoulder. Remus ran his fingers on her arm.
Spencer closed her eyes, trying to memorize his touch.
"What are you thinking about?" he whispered.
Spencer shrugged, "sad stuff. sex stuff. I'm multitasking."
Remus chuckled as he nodded. "Wanna talk about the sad stuff?"
She sighed, "I kind of lied to Snape about not reading my diary."
"Kind of?"
"I just opened it to a random page" she answered.
"What did it say?"
"Do you really want me to be all sad before you fuck me?"
"You're always sad" he kissed her head.
She chuckled.
"Go on then."
She rolled her eyes, "I don't remember."
"Yes you do, now be a good girl and tell me."
She let a deep breath out, "I talk to god but the sky is empty."
Remus nodded.
"It's stupid" she shook her head.
"It's not," he kissed her head, "it's not."
He continued to caress her arm, after 15 minutes he spoke again.
"Feeling better?" he asked softly.
"Mhm" she nodded against him. "Can I paint you?" she asked.
"Like my body?" he chuckled.
"No," she laughed, "on a canvas."
Remus nodded in understanding. "Am I to be nude?"
Spencer chuckled, "no" she shook her head.
"I would've done it either way" he shrugged.
Spencer stood up, looking down at Remus.
"Ready to fuck me, Professor?"
"Always."
──────⊱⁜⊰──────
Remus stared at Spencer.
She was wearing pijama pants and a long sleeve, both his.
She had placed her foot on the stool, resting her chest on her leg, as she painted the canvas.
He'd been sitting for 30 minutes, with her classical music in the background, wondering if she had realized they hadn't spoken since.
Nox came into the room, placing his paws on Remus and stretching. He laughed before Nox climbed him, sitting on his thigh. He scratched the area behind his ear, Nox moved so he could scratch his neck.
"Told you" Spencer said.
"Shut up" he shook his head, hiding his smile, knowing what she was going to say.
He'd grown fond of Nox, especially in the last three days she was gone.
"You love him" she smiled.
"Whatever" he shook his head.
"Okay, I'm tired" she stretched her arms. "Let's pick this up another day" she started to put her things away.
A minute passed before Remus spoke. "Let's go on a date" he said.
"Yeah," she nodded, "when?"
"Now."
"Now?" she chuckled, looking up at him.
"Yes, now" he shrugged.
"What do you want to do?"
"Dinner and a movie" he answered.
She chuckled while nodding, "I can do dinner and a movie."
"Okay, be right back" he stood, kissing her head and beginning to walk out of the room.
"Wait where are you going?"
"Be ready in an hour" he smiled.
"But-"
"One hour!" he said before leaving their home.
Spencer laughed as he left, "can you believe him Nox" she shook her head.
Spencer had already showered, so she decided to spend most of the time on her hair. She parted it and began braiding.
Nox jumped on her dresser and laid down. After 25 minutes she finished and looked into her closet.
"Wait what's the-" she said to herself as she walked to her window, opened it, and stuck her hand out.
The weather was nice, not too cold or windy. And by the time she was putting on her necklace, there was a knock on her door.
"Come in!"
They knocked again.
She chuckled to herself, shaking her head as she went to open the door.
She found Remus, staring at her with a dozen roses in hand.
She smiled as she looked at them and back at him.
"For you" he held them out.
"Thanks," she grabbed them, "they are lovely."
He smiled.
"Would you like to come in?" she asked. "I cleaned up just for you."
Remus chuckled as he walked in, "I just need to get my purse and then we're good to go."
He nodded as she walked back to their room, standing in their living room.
"Ready" she smiled, coming out.
──────⊱⁜⊰──────
"It's okay, I'll protect you" Spencer whispered to Remus.
"I'm not scared of horror movies, I just dislike them."
"Totally," she nodded, "just like I'm not scared of-"
"Spencer" he shook his head, hiding his smile. "It's different."
She shrugged, "just saying."
"Shut up, the movie is starting" he threw popcorn at her.
"Hey! That was expensive!"
"Shh" he said, taking her hand and placing it on his thigh.
She smiled, "you like me" she whispered.
"I'm wondering why" he replied.
"Hey!"
"Shh" he repeated.
She giggled, shaking her head as she looked at the screen.
Spencer wondered if he knew that he liked to draw a line with his thumb on her leg. She liked the feeling.
It was soft, smooth.
Throughout the movie she scared him a few times, eliciting him to jump a bit in his seat. She laughed at him every time, he shook his head.
"I hope you had fun because-"
"Oh don't even try to say you won't be doing this again" she laughed as they walked out of the theater. "You'll do anything for me, remember?"
"Of course I do" he shook his head.
"And I did have fun, I always have fun with you" she got on her toes and kissed his cheek.
Spencer felt him smile, "dinner?" she asked.
"Dinner" he nodded.
They walked to a near by pizza place, Remus ordered fries as an appetizer.
"And can we get some mayonnaise with that?"
"Mayonnaise?" the waiter asked.
"Yeah, mayonnaise."
"Sure thing" he said confused.
Spencer stared at the waiter leave, chuckling to herself.
"Thanks" she smiled, turning to look at him.
"Anytime" he smiled.
The fries came, Spencer mixed her mayonnaise with ketchup and started eating.
Remus noted she was eating slowly, but he didn't say anything.
He just looked at her.
When the pizza came, Spencer only ate two slices. Which really was one slice since the pizza was cut into squares.
"Do you want another one?" he asked.
"No, I'm okay" she smiled. "We should get some cheesecake for desert."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah" she smiled.
Spencer waived down the waiter and ordered the cheesecake.
Remus saw that every time her spoon reached the plate there wasn't much on it.
"Hey" he placed his hand on her thigh, squeezing it lightly.
"Hi" she smiled.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah?" she chuckled, confused. "Are you?"
"Yes" he nodded. "I just," he shrugged, "I noticed you didn't really eat much."
Spencer looked away from him, moving her eyes to the table.
"Do we need to talk about it?"
She shook her head, "I think I'm just full from popcorn" she shrugged.
"You hardly ate any..."
"I ate a bit before we left."
"Grapes don't-"
"What do you want me to tell you?" she cut him off. "I'm fine" she looked at him. "Just drop it."
"Spence-"
"Remus, stop."
He sighed.
"I just- if there was something that you want to talk about then we can talk about it."
"There's nothing to talk about- I'm going to get the bill" she began to stand.
"Spence" he reached for her arm.
"Remus, let go" she looked at him. "I want to pay."
"It's not about-"
"Everything alright here?" a waiter walking by asked, noticing Remus holding onto her arm.
"Yeah," she giggled, "my boyfriend just doesn't want me to pay" she smiled. Remus let her arm go.
He hated when she fake smiled.
The waiters eyes widened slightly, looking back and forth between their faces.
"I can pay over there, right?" she pointed to her right.
"Yeah" he nodded.
"Thanks" she smiled before leaving.
The waiter kept staring at Remus.
"Can we get a box" he said after clearing his throat.
The waiter nodded before leaving.
After a few minutes Spencer came back, "let's go" she pointed her head at the door.
Remus followed her out.
The walk back to the castle was excruciatingly silent.
And not just for Remus.
Spencer felt his anxiety, he kept drawing lines on her hand with his thumb.
It wasn't soft and smooth as before.
It was rough and fast.
And she didn't understand why.
She's fine.
She just wasn't hungry today.
She'll eat the left overs tomorrow.
She didn't need help.
