Remus nodded against him. He knew Severus was right, but it really bothered him to be seen like that. But it only lasted three or four minutes, even though it seemed like much longer.
"Okay. I'll stay here."
He'd done as usual and not eaten or drank anything all day. He'd learned early on not to. The last thing he needed was to lose control of bodily function and make a mess. And in that sort of pain, such things were inevitable. By the end of the third moon, he was tired and exhausted from a three day fast, as well as from the ordeal.
He wanted to tell Severus he loved him, to say it here and now, but...Better not. The other man had made no overtures in that direction, even though Remus had to assume his being here meant quite a lot. It wasn't that it made a difference if Snape returned his feelings or said it back; he just didn't want to make him any more uncomfortable than he already was.
"I'm glad you're here," he said again, softly. Then he kissed Severus gently, lovingly, wanting to get his point across in one way, if not vocally, his fingers running through his lover's hair, his other hand still holding Snape's.
He let the kiss linger for a while before backing away and moving off the couch.
"I, ahh, better get ready. It'll be soon, now."
Remus stripped off his clothes in a businesslike way, not trying to look attractive or anything. Just something he had to get done.
Once he was unclothed, he looked back to Severus and smiled shakily, then lay down on the floor, facing away from his lover.
You can do this. You can do this. He wants to see, it'll be okay.
He cleared his throat as the tingling intensified.
"If you find you need to leave, Severus, please do. Anytime. I don't want you to stay if you get too uncomfortable. Promise me?"

His voice was soft and somewhat flat.
