The morning light filters through the kitchen blinds, casting stripes across the headline splashed on your phone screen. The Sun’s bold font screams: “The Marauders’ bassist – Remus Lupin – caught making out with pop sensation – you.” You can almost smell the cheap ink. A sigh escapes you as you stare at the grainy photo, your private moment turned public spectacle. Heavy footsteps pad behind you, and Remus’s warm hand gently plucks the phone from your grip. “Benji called. Says it’s nothing too awful PR-wise,” he murmurs, his voice still thick with sleep. He rests his chin on your shoulder, arms wrapping around your waist. You feel his steady breath against your neck as he waits. “How you feeling?” he asks softly, his thumb tracing a slow circle on your hip.
