K: Well, yet another part of my little Remus/Sirius series of oneshots... I hope you like it!
No More Lies
By: K
My hands are shaking. No matter how much they love us. I'm still nervous. We have to tell them. Of course we have. It's been going on for a couple of months already. Well a couple… Thirteen to be exact. They still don't know. We haven't told them yet. I have always been able to delay it. But not any more. I had to lie to them for so damn long. And when they knew… First I was scared. Then relieved. They accepted me. Didn't let me fall. That's why I love them so much.
And now I'm doing it again. Lying to them. The only difference now is that this secret is not a terrible one. Being a werewolf is so much worse than being in love.
Yes … In love. Me, Remus J Lupin, werewolf, dark creature, I am in love. And with who… Sirius Black. Hottest guy of whole Hogwarts. All girls love him. He has dated almost every one of them. Hell, even a lot of boys love him. And yes, I love him too.

His warm hand on my shoulder is relaxing. Gentle fingers massaging my tense muscles. His breathing tickles my ear. His heartbeat steady against my back.
"It will be okay."
I nod. Of course it will. But still I'm nervous. I know that when this is all over, we will be able to laugh about my uneasiness. But right now it's killing me.
Turning around I place a chaste kiss on his lips. And smiling we walk into our dorm. We will probably find both of them playing chess on James' bed.
My fingers take a hold of his hand. I need his support right now. I know that he will be right next to me, but still… I need a physical touch to remind me that he is really beside me. He takes a firm hold on my hand and squeezes it gently. It's strange how he seems to know everything about me. Everything that I feel, think, even what I want to say sometimes.
James and Peter don't even look up when the door opens. Of course not. Why should they. The only ones who would enter our dorm, are the four of us.
We're standing next to the bed. Silent. Watching them play. Seeing James win. Again. Our fingers are still intertwined.
"Check mate."
James is smiling like an idiot. And Peter groans while he lets himself fall backwards on the bed. A scene that is so familiar. Yet for the moment it seems strange. Although I will probably be the only one thinking that.
I feel Sirius tug me towards his bed. Gently guiding me in sitting before him. In between his legs, my back resting against his chest. His arms around my torso. Our hands still together. My head rests against his left shoulder, while he looks at our two friends over my right one. The first one to notice the silence, the fact that we haven't spoken yet, is Peter. Yet James is the first one to notice us. Not in me and Sirius, sitting on said last one's bed. But in me and Sirius, together.
His eyes widen in understanding. And I feel my stomach clench. Will he accept it? Like he has accepted me so many full moon's back?
I know that my fear is clearly visible.
And suddenly he smiles.
"So… It surely took you two long enough…"
&The End&
K: Well, that was it, leave a review please. You'll make my day... :)
