“Do you miss being alive?” His feet swung, water rippling around his ankles. I dipped my toes into the hotel pool, the water refracting blue shimmering light over my bare legs.
“What does that mean?” I kicked a leg out to watch the rushing white bubbles.
He huffed, using his foot to send a splash of water against my thigh. I swiped off the droplets with my hand, laughing.
“Lately that’s been echoing in my head,” water lapped at the bottom of his knees, “I miss being alive. I miss being human.” His voice carried over the water easily, reaching every hollow corner of the room.
“You’re thinking too hard, then,” I said, twirling my ankle as I spoke, “Being alive is breathing. Being human is feeling.”
“I’m not feeling lately,” he watched the bubbles forming behind my ankle, “Not breathing.” His head dipped at the admission.
I held out my hand, and he looked at me quizzically. I beckoned for his hand, and he placed his wrist in my palm. I set his hand on my chest, my skin prickling at his freezing fingers. I watched his mouth as I took a deep breath, his lips parting as my chest rose.
“I’ll breathe for you,” I exhaled, his eyes honey at my offer. “I feel enough for the two of us.”
“You always do this,” a rim of tears was forming under his irises. He looked away when he caught me staring, “You’re so kind.”
“It’s easy to be kind to someone like you,” I pressed his hand more firmly to my sternum.
“No, I know it’s not,” he pulled his hand away, clasping his hands together tightly, “I’m hard to love.”
“You think?” the chlorine in the air was choking me with nostalgia, “You can’t imagine the people I have loved before you.”
He laughed, without humour.
“I have loved men who berated me, who had no respect for me, who treated me like a maid,” I shook my head, “Men who had no love to give.”
“Not a very high bar for me, is it?” his fingers twisted around each other, picking at his cuticles.
“I’m trying to tell you,” I sighed, “You reciprocate everything. You meet me where I am. If I’m excited, you’re excited. If I’m sad, you’re crawling into bed with me. You bring me what I need.”
“I’m insufferable, most of the time,” he met my eyes, mouth pulled to the side as he bit his cheek.
“Some of the time,” I gave him a sheepish grin, sending a ripple of water against his leg. “But I love you all the time.” His bottom lip shook briefly, and he wrapped me in a hug, pressing my dewy skin to his.
“Thank you,” he said into my shoulder, voice aching, “I’ll try not to forget.”
“I’ll remind you,” I whispered, “As much as you want.” He gave me a tight squeeze, kissing the top of my head.
“My angel,” his fingers circled the bumps in my spine, “I’ll love you forever.”

And they are always like idk not really and yeah u can’t miss what you’ve never known I guess but some nights me and my little sister will stay up late even though we both have class tomorrow and we will listen to fast car by Tracy chapman on repeat no talking just us quietly listening and I think that even if I never knew my sister I would still miss her somehow

Remus took the opportunity to move his hands to the backs of your thighs and deceitfully run them up toward the hem of your skirt. You hummed at his actions and gripped his shoulders. He nudged his head back to your neck and placed light kisses against your throat. The drinks running through you made his actions all the more intense.
James spun back around with yours and Remus’ drinks in hand. He handed them to you as he sipped his own. You held your drink to your chest as you watched Remus sip his. His hand around the glass sending heat through you, imagining what else that hand had done. His other hand remained latched to the back of your thigh and when he caught your gaze he squeezed it. He sent you an all-knowing smirk and raised his glass to his lips again. You blushed and tried to push your sexual thoughts from your head, taking a swig from your drink to help.
Luckily, James’ attention was now focused on Lily’s dancing form. Remus noticed this too and swiftly moved his hand to the curve of your ass. You glared at him as he smiled up at you. He moved to stand and placed his glass on the bar top.
