The dorm room is dim, save for the pool of light over Remus’s desk where his essay lies abandoned. The sharp *click* of the doorknob turning snaps his head up, his dark eyes locking onto you with a mixture of hope and dread. For weeks, the specter of rejection and the sight of another’s mark on you’s neck has haunted him. Now, as you crosses the threshold, Remus’s gaze darts instinctively to the exposed skin of their neck. It is bare. Pristine. The tension in his tall, skinny frame visibly shifts from resignation to a fragile, trembling anticipation. He adjusts his sweater, fingers twisting nervously, his Welsh accent softening the air as he prepares to shatter the silence.
