you feel all the energy around the boxing ring. the yells of excitement coming from the men and women standing around you. you also shake with excitement and adrenaline, you usually stay away from things like this. you knew nothing about boxing but you promised remus you’d come and watch his match.
you couldn’t help but be worried. even though you’re shaking with anticipation to see remus box, you’ve seen remus’ bruises and scars from boxing, you’ve even helped him patch a few minor injuries. you have no idea how this fight could go. you’re sure remus will win, but he could still get badly injured.
you watch in silence as remus and the other boxers make their way into the boxing ring. the crowd grows louder, chanting the two boxers' names. egging them on. the crowd dies down for a bit watching with wild eyes as the fight starts, but quickly everyone escalates when remus throws in the first punch.
the fighting continues, remus has taken a few blows so far. he’s been hit right under his eye which you know will leave a small bruise. but he doesn’t seem too worried about it. continuing to hit his opponent, harder hoping to leave some mark. remus hits the other boxer right on his left cheek, you watch as he stumbles back, his hand touches his face, and he’s bleeding a small bit. he quickly drops his hand and moves in towards remus, to take a blow at remus.
your eyes widen at the sight of remus’ opponent raising his fist at remus’ jaw, hitting him in the mouth. remus spins around to the audience from the hit, his knees buckle a little. but he quickly regains his composure, standing to his full height. he makes eye contact with you. you didn’t realize how close you were to the boxing ring. but you don’t mind when remus wobbly walks over to you. he delicately places his hands on your neck, and bends his head reaching in for a kiss. it’s short and quick, but it’s sweet. you can’t help but feel a little woozy when he pulls back.
“thanks for kissing it better, sweetheart.” you can’t help but swoon at remus’ words. he smiles, his lips are busted and he’s bleeding a bit. you can’t help but stare at remus, he’s too attractive at this moment you decide. he can’t help but let out a breathless laugh while wiping the blood from his lips. he smiles once more bearing his teeth to you before he turns his back to you, lifting his fist to cover his face as he moves back to his opponent. you hope he wins this match just so you can congratulate him with a kiss.
