DRABBLE: Eyes Up, Lover Boy. (Remus/Lily)
Title: Eyes Up, Lover Boy
Prompt: "The question is obvious"
Characters: Remus/Lily
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~225
Prompt Table: Here. 1 more left!
Summary: "...It’s like that, except I have the decency to leave some underclothes on, so quit staring."
Author's Notes: My inspiration for this paring is thin as a thread right now. I don't think I ever quite got into the "groove" for them, and am both sad and glad to be finishing up with them. I love them as a pairing, and as respective characters, but need to take a break before I try to do some serious writing again. There was a lot I wanted to get into with this set that I never did, and the actual romance I wanted to eventually write never seemed to fit in right. Maybe with the next one I'll get where I wanted to go, I dunno. I think this whole set was sort of experimental for me -- perspectives, writing style, etc. But I hope they've been enjoyable. This one's my shot at a dialogue-only fic, rather light-hearted and short.
“What are you doing?”
“Going swimming, why?”
“Well -- I mean -- you’re not -- you’re --”
“Yes, Remus, I am stripping. Sometimes, contrary to popular belief, girls and guys have the same habits.”
“Excuse me?”
“Let me put it this way -- you guys go swimming impromptu in the Lake all the time, right? You just strip on down to the nude and hop in and nobody seems to care. It’s like that, except I have the decency to leave some underclothes on, so quit staring.”
“I was not staring. I was just... thinking.”
“Uh huh. You’re as bad as the rest of them.”
“You can’t possibly be comparing me to James and Sirius, can you?”
“I think I can. You act like you’re better than them, with your little disapproving frowns and your ‘excuse me?’s, your tidy hair and neat tie -- ”
“Hey! My tie’s not always neat.”
“ -- But you’re still one of them. Marauder through and through.”
“Now that’s not fair. What kind of argument is that? Last I checked all those things were supposed to be plusses.”
“Says the boy who was just ogling my breasts.”
“I -- I -- I was not -- not -- ahem -- not doing anything of the sort.”
“Point proven. And I suppose the next question is obvious, isn’t it?”
“What question?”
“Are you going to get in the water, or what?”
"Yeah, okay, fine."
"...And Remus?"
"Yeah?"
"Keep those eyes up, lover boy."

I love what you do with Remus, all the time. ♥ I've really enjoyed the directions you've taken in this series, and holy crap I can't believe you're practically done! :DD
