The Boy Needs Toys with patchdandshabby and cub_faolan

[professor_snark]

While Remus gave Faolan a bath and got him into clean clothes, Severus went into Draco's room and asked the Room to provide thirty toys suitable for a child between the ages three and four. Suddenly, there were toys covering nearly every surface of the room. Severus wondered if the sheer number would overwhelm the boy, so he banished several of

Remus had been so caught up in the zen like motions of drying Faolan's hair that he hadn't even heard Snape come into the room. He looked up, one hand still on the small boy's damp head, and smiled. "Sev has a surprise for you, Fae. Would you like to go see?"

Snape watched as the boy thought about the question, leaning a bit closer to Remus. It was obvious he wasn't as sure about Severus as he was about Remus, but Sev figured they had time for that to sort itself out.

"It's just down the hall. Should we go see?" he asked, holding out his hand. "Tell Remus to come with us."

Faolan's answer was to hold is other hand out to Remus.

That hand might as well have been reaching for his heart, because that's where it touched Remus. Carefully he humg up the towel so it would dry, then took the proffered hand and fallowed them to the room that had been Draco's, right next to their own bedroom. "Merlin, Sev, it looks like you robbed a toy store."

"And?" Severus asked, smirking at Remus as he knelt down beside Faolan.

"Do you see anything you might want to play with, little cub?"

The boy looked back and forth between the two of them, as if asking permission to go look.

"Go on, it's alright. You can play with anything you want."

"Oh really?" Severus asked, a slow grin forming. "And just how can I do that I wonder?" he asked, his fingers toying with the buttons on Remus' shirt.

Merlin, it had been too long since they'd done this, due to his damn infirmity. "You're a very clever man, Sev. I'm sure you can think of something."

"I hope I haven't forgotten how," he murmured, unbuttoning Remus' shirt, kissing each bit of exposed skin. Once Remus' shirt was open, he began to undo his pants.

"My, my, someone is certainly ready to go already," he teased, running a hand over the bulge in Remus' pants.

"I'm told it's like riding a broom." He'd gotten to a point with Severus that he'd never reached with anyone other then his fellow Marauders, where he almost didn't notice the scars on his chest as they were uncovered. Certainly he'd never felt so comfortable with anyone touching them before.

He hoped that, with the potion, Faolan would be spared most of the scars.

"I've missed you very much, Sev. Missed this part of us."
