Mia smiled softly. "A reminder. I worry too much, and I need to focus on being
happy."
"I like that. I like you being happy."
"I like you being happy too." She turned and looked up at him, relaxing as he
brushed his lips against hers.
Mia closed her eyes and sighed into his mouth as the world around them
disappeared. Here, in his arms, kissing him, she was certain she could be led to believe that
everything in the world was perfect. When he pulled away, she touched his cheek, running
a finger along the top of the scar that bisected his face.
"Promise me you'll always try to be happy."
"I think I can do that.. ." Remus grinned and moved to kiss her again.
Mia pulled away from him. "I mean it, Remus," she said seriously. "No matter what
happens. If everything just turns to shit, please try to find happiness in something. Don't
hold yourself back for anything."
He groaned, burying his face in her tangled mess of chestnut locks. "You're doing
future talk again. I thought we weren't going to do that anymore," he reminded her,
brushing his knuckles up and down her bare arm.
"You don't think about it at all?"
"I'd rather think about you, this, us."
She sighed, nuzzling against his head. "I'm sorry, love."
"You can make it up to me." Remus reached over her shoulder, closing the book in
her hand and setting it carefully to the side, putting it down on top of his book bag.
Mia appreciated the extra effort he took in making sure the book was not damaged
in the slightest by the nearby wet grass.
"I seem to remember recently reading something about enjoying life," he said with
a grin, putting his large hands on her hips and turning her around in his lap until she was
straddling him. "I wonder how we could put that to use."
He threaded his fingers through her thick hair before kissing her soundly, groaning
when his tongue came into contact with her own, massaging it languidly.
"Mmm," Mia moaned. "Do you think it would be suspicious if we sneaked off to
the Whomping Willow?" she whispered against his lips, and Remus chuckled in response
before kissing her again.
