Word Count: 784
It had been six months since you were bitten by Greyback, six months since your first full moon, and it had been only three months since you had started seeking help from your fellow Order member, Remus Lupin. Remus had helped you immensely through your tough transition to this troublesome lifestyle. All of these new senses were overwhelming and cumbersome, and it has been hard to sleep these past few months.
Even though your life had turned into a living hell mother nature hadn't failed to visit you every month, only adding to your misery.
It was hard to accept what had happened to you, almost as if it were all a bad dream and you were going to wake up any second, because that's what this had to be, it's all too much to deal with. But here you were again, out in some field, waiting for the moon to rise.
Remus had come with you, something that had astonished himself as well as you.
" How do you do it, Remus?" you asked him while looking up at the darkening sky, " How have you been doing this for thirty years?"
Remus sighed, " I'm afraid I can't answer that (Y/N) because I don't even know, it's just something you get used to, being a monster."
You felt a lump form in your throat and your eyes burn, " I- We... We're mon-sters?" you croaked.
Remus seemed to realize what he had said because his eyes widened and he ran a hand through his thinning hair, " No, (Y/N), you're not a monster, just...just me,"
You scoffed, " Whatever, you may not realize it, Lupin, but when you say that your basically calling everyone like you and me horrible things that shouldn't exist, we're people who didn't ask for this and people who... who try to be good and not hurt anyone, it makes you just like everyone who hates us," Remus said nothing, so you continued", Because Remus, if you think you're a monster because of your condition then I am as well, in your eyes at least,"
Remus growled in frustration, " You're not (Y/N), you're an amazing, kind, and beautiful person that I'm lucky to know and I'm just a selfish, depressed, and cynical old man who was too busy wallowing in his self-pity to go look for Peter and Sirius, and go visit Harry to see if he was okay! That's what makes me a monster!"
Your (E/C) eyes were wide with shock as you stared at the older man, " Are... Are you fucking kidding me?!"
Remus' angry face was gone and replaced with one of confusion, " W-What?"
" Did I stutter?!," you fumed, " Remus John Lupin, you are one of best men I know, Do you know how many people shut down emotionally after all the shit you went through? Do you know how many people just give up? Do you know how many become bitter old men? Over 99% do, and guess what dumbass you're in the one percent, and that makes you pretty fucking incredible!"
" The amount of respect I have for you is insane, do you even know how excited I was to get someone so wonderful as my partner? The only reason I'm alive right now is be-because of you! You gave me hope that being bitten by Greyback isn't the end of the w-world, because if I can come out of this only half the person you are then I'll be o-okay!" you sobbed.
Remus stared at you in shock, " Y-you really think that highly of me," he asked softly, reaching his hand out to touch yours. When you nodded and didn't pull away he laced his fingers through your own.
" Remus," you sniffed, " I... like you more than a friend you know,"
Remus looked down at the grass and nodded, " I know," he whispered.
It was quiet for a moment, you were both looking anywhere but each other, but your hands still clasped together.
" How do you feel towards me?" you asked while playing with the hem of your shirt.
The older man smiled slightly, " I... fell the same, (Y/N),"
" What, really?!"
" Did I stutter?"
You scowled before rolling your eyes,"... So what now?" you asked.
Remus smiled before standing up, him pulling you up with him. You latched onto him when you felt a sharp, but familiar pain go through your body, " Well talk about that later," he whispered in your ear.
You squeezed him harder as you looked over toward the trees where the luminescent glow of the moon was beginning to show.
