Pacis
Remus walked into the ROR to see that Severus was already there. He was sitting on a couch reading a book. Remus couldn't tell what it was, but knowing the boy it was probably a Jane Austen, or some similar writers, book.
Remus walked over to sit on a love-seat across from Severus, however once he sat down he noticed the boy had something in his mouth. Taking a closer look Remus realized it was a light blue paci which had white clouds painted on.
"Sev, is that a pacifier?"
Severus looked up quickly removing the paci from his mouth as if it would kill him if he didn't.
"No." Severus said despite the evidence going against his claim.
"Sev, I saw it. I know it's a paci."
"It's not, I swear! You just saw wrong. Why would I, a fifteen, nearly sixteen, year old have a paci anyway?"
"I don't know. And if it's not a pacifier than what is it."
Severus was quiet for a minute, mind racing to find a logical explanation.
"Fine. It is a paci."
"I know. Why do you use it?"
"I don't know. It relaxes me, and it makes it easier to sleep and concentrate and stuff."
"Okay, that's valid."
"You're not mad?"
"Of course not. Why would I be mad at you for doing something that makes you feel comfortable? And doesn't hurt anyone."
Severus just shrugged before slowly putting the paci back in his mouth not removing his eyes from Remus. A few seconds after the paci was placed back Remus got out his own book and Severus went back to reading his.
