Desire (Have You Ever Wished?)
by Beth
Remus stands downwind.
He isn't hiding. They're not hidden - Lily and James are just sitting in the sun, talking. Her fingers crook like spider legs; she always shapes her thoughts in the air. She throws her head back, the throat arched, the skin on the back of the neck folding in on itself. The wind carries the scent of her sweat, the staccato of her laugh.
After a while, Remus drops his eyes to his book. There is a career to obtain. A life to be lived. His friends, Lily Evans among them.
Remus always wants what he cannot have.
