Title: The First Date
Characters: Remus/Tonks
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Het
Warnings: None.
Notes: Written for [livejournal.com profile] katyscarlett76, for the Winterval gift exchange at [livejournal.com profile] pulped_fictions.

By the time they get to the third glass, Tonks is pretty sure this is the worst first date ever. She's tipsy and her giggles are now the sort of snorting laughter that might put Remus off her forever.

To his credit, he doesn't seem to mind much. In fact, he's got a rather adorable smile on his face, and she resists the urge to pull him close and kiss him.

She watches him swish the blood-red liquid around his glass and give it an expert sniff. He says something about wildflowers and anise, but the words are lost on her as she admires the way his hair falls across his forehead.

"Tonks. Are you...quite alright?" Worry creases his brow, and she realizes he's been talking for a while now, but she's been so distracted by his face, she hasn't heard a word.

"Oh, sorry. It's just...I had no idea you were such a wine connoisseur."

Remus chuckles. "Well, let's just say it's one of the few benefits of my...er, condition. I can sniff out a good wine. Among other things."

"Oh? What sort of other things?"

He points to the other end of the restaurant. "The food in the kitchen of this restaurant. The smell of the flowers in that shop across the street." He gives her a grin, sly and knowing. "Pheromones."

"Phero...oh!" Tonks wishes the ground would open up and swallow her, but there's no such respite tonight. "Remus, I--"

He saves her from any further embarrassment when he leans over and kisses her. It's the best first date ever.

Aww this is lovely thank you :) I love tipsy Tonks :) And Mr Sniffy Remus, lol at him being all wine connoisseur :) I would totally be as distracted as Tonks with that Remus in front of me ;) Perfect R/T first date! I love it, thank you!

You're welcome. ♥

I so enjoyed writing this for you that I finally worked up the nerve to finish a long-abandoned R/T WiP. You've inspired me. :)

This is adorable! I love the idea of Remus getting some kind of benefit from his condition, heh. And it made me giggle to see Tonks so mortified -- until Remus makes it very clear that he doesn't mind the pheromones at all. ;)

(And [livejournal.com profile] katyscarlett76 is right...this would be a wonderful addition at [livejournal.com profile] metamorfic_moon!)

Oh, this is excellent! How nice to see Remus having fun with his condition for once, and Tonks being the one fretting over whether the date is going well. I loved the pheromones, even if poor Tonks didn't - no wonder Remus was smiling. :D

Also thirding the suggestion, if you want to, re [livejournal.com profile] metamorfic_moon!
