Drabble: Not Quite the Same

A drabble for [livejournal.com profile] sirius_remus100

Title: Not Quite the Same
Author: mysid
Prompt: Touch
Word Count: 100
Rating: G


In the days since Sirius had first transformed and learned that his alter state was canine, he'd been single-mindedly focused upon the similarities between dogs and wolves. Even now, he sprawled across Remus's bed enthusiastically describing his new impressions of scent and peppering Remus with questions about the same.

Sirius focused on the similarities, but Peter couldn't help but contemplate the differences. The closer Sirius inched toward Remus, the farther back toward the headboard Remus retreated. Dogs may crave proximity and patting, but one shouldn't get close enough to touch a wolf—not if one wants to keep one's hand.

Oh wow. Way to go Peter, for being observant. Well done.

Observant, yes. Interpreting correctly, no.

Thanks!
