Remus jumped as Severus walked into the staff room. “Oh, hello,” he said, tucking the book he’d been reading under his arm.
Severus raised an eyebrow. “What are you plotting, Lupin?”
“Just doing a bit of reading.” He got to his feet. “I’ll leave you in peace, shall I?”
Narrowing his eyes, Severus concentrated. The book wrested itself from Remus’ arm and sailed towards him. Snatching it out of the air, Severus opened it.
“‘Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day...’” He looked up. “Shakespeare, Lupin? No one will fall for that.”
Remus smiled, moving closer. “You never know.”

“...Thou art more lovely and more temperate...”
Severus sighed. “Do not keep quoting Shakespeare’s sonnets. I’m already in your bed. You got all you wanted from me.”
“I’m aware of your location, Severus.” Remus smiled, stroking Severus’ skin softly. “And that’s not all I wanted.”
Severus blinked, but continued. “Furthermore, anyone who calls me ‘lovely’ is delusional.”
Remus chuckled. “Ah, but you are, Severus. Perhaps not classically handsome, but then, neither am I.”
“Delusional,” Severus repeated, but Remus saw the fleeting smile.
“Another sonnet, then?” he purred, realizing that, for all his protests, Severus responded well to seduction by poetry.
