Sirius was lying next to Remus in bed. Technically they weren't supposed to be in the same bed together and, it being only a twin size, it was rather cramped, but they didn't care.
As Sirius caressed the other boy's face, his fingers passed over the scars, causing Remus to flinch. Sirius stilled.
"I'm not going to hurt you, my love" he said softly. Remus visibly relaxed, then nodded.
"I know" Remus breathed, a bit shaky. "It's just... Sorry"
"Don't apologize, sweetheart" Sirius leaned up and kissed him on the forehead. "You've been through a lot. It's understandable for you to be jumpy. I just want you to know you're always safe with me, okay? I'm not going to hurt you"
"Thank you" Remus breathed. Sirius chuckled lightly.
"No need"
