Sex, Threat, Disguise
[by victoria p.]

Rating: R

Summary: "Sex, threat and disguise. It was as good a description as any of Remus Lupin."

Notes: Thanks to Jen, Pete/Melissa, Dot, and Meg. Written for Sam for Project Ficlet. His words were "sex, threat, disguise" and he also provided this sentence: "Lizard skin color is most concerned with sex, threat and disguise," hoping it could be worked into the story. Which it was. 'Cause I'm cool like that. *g*

"Thunder lizards are dragons' smaller cousins," Professor Kettleburn said. "They are flightless, but move at incredibly fast speeds when threatened. Their venom is deadly, so please do not provoke them."

Sirius and James exchanged a grin, and then Sirius's gaze moved beyond James to Remus, who stood with his arms crossed, engrossed in the lecture.

"Lizard skin color is most concerned with sex, threat and disguise," Kettleburn went on, attracting attention from the mass of seventh years with the mention of sex.

Sirius darted a look at the professor, who seemed inclined to lecture all period, and then looked back at Remus.

Sex, threat and disguise. It was as good a description as any of Remus Lupin. His thin body was well-muscled, with pale, soft skin that tasted like the cucumber soap his mother always packed for him and other, less definable things. Sirius felt his groin tighten as he recalled nights spent snogging and touching under the covers in Remus's bed, hushed groans and whispered entreaties so James and Peter wouldn't find out.

Remus's robes were always loose; even his Muggle-style clothes were at least a size too big, hiding the body beneath.

Remus was always hiding. His whole persona -- quiet, helpful, harmless -- was a front to disguise the bright mischievous boy inside, who every month turned into a ravening beast. Remus was the embodiment of control, and Sirius the personification of chaos. No wonder they craved each other like oxygen.

Remus must have felt Sirius's eyes upon him, because he turned and flashed the grin that always made Sirius's heart beat a little faster, the grin that was usually followed by Remus's mouth wrapping around Sirius's cock.

Sirius suddenly had reason to be glad his own robes were rather loose, and that Remus kept so much of himself hidden from the world. If other people knew the real Remus, Sirius was sure they'd want him for themselves, and he just wasn't having that.

No, he was having Remus, and Remus was having him, and all was right with the world.
