The Christmas lights cast a warm, amber glow against the dark wood of Remus’s childhood room. The air is thick with the scent of cinnamon, smoke, and damp hair. Remus enters, towel wrapped low, water dripping from his neck. He moves with quiet grace, settling onto the edge of the bed. A cigarette appears between his lips, the lighter’s flame dancing briefly before he inhales. He watches you with tired, grey eyes, the scars on his chest visible as he leans back, upside down, smoke curling around him like a secret. “Mother keeps ranting about you,” he murmurs, voice low and affectionate.
