Draco felt the corner of Remus’ mouth tilt into a smile before the man finally caved and kissed him. The way Remus kissed could be categorized one of two ways: slow and methodical, or hard and frantic. They had plenty of experience with the latter, seeming to find it difficult to take their time when in the other’s company. But this, this kiss, slow and searching, and intoxicating, almost brought Draco to his knees. Even if Remus hadn’t said those three little words back to him, he felt it as their kiss deepened, as Draco felt his back hit the brick wall outside the pub, as Remus’ arm wound around his lower back pulling their bodies together.
