God, this sort of thing just turns Remus on no end. It's like when they used to play chess.
"I do try to exceed expectations in everything I do, Severus. You know that."
He takes a very small step forward. A fair bit of the room still lies between them, but they'll get there. It's a game, and Remus loves to play.
"Perverse is a good way to put it. I wonder how many others appreciate your biting wit like I do? How many others have thrilled to hear you get off a particularly wicked insult. I don't think I'm overstating things when I say, with all sincerity, that I'm your number one fan, Severus."
One more small step forward, and Remus skims his shirt off in a fluid movement, throwing it on the floor. He stands and stares at Snape, his expression playful and challenging.
