Chapter One: First Kiss

"What if she thinks I'm an awful kisser?" Remus muttered, pacing back and forth across the dorm-room. "What if I turn my head the wrong way? Or use too much tongue or not enough? What if she doesn't even want to kiss me?"

"Is he still worrying?" Sirius asked, walking into the room and hearing Remus' words. "I thought my talk earlier calmed him down?"

"Then you left to go to the Kitchens and he started up again," James explained. "I tried talking him down, told him it was just a bird and if she didn't like it, he'd find another one to snog."

Sirius groaned. "Worst advice ever. That'd work if you were the one panicking, or reminding me that every guy in school wants a bit of me... but this is Remus. He's not the type to pick up girl after girl."

"You're right," James muttered. "I didn't think." They glanced at Remus in concern, too caught up in his thoughts to even realise Sirius had returned.

"Well, we can fix this," Sirius said. He walked over to the pacing Werewolf, clamping a hand on each shoulder, making Remus jump. Amber eyes looked up at him in a panic.

"Remus, you're going to do fine. You're going to sprout soppy poetry and other smart stuff and she'll be swooning at your feet." He smirked. "Maybe you should teach me some of this poetry, I like having guys at my feet," he muttered.

"Huh?" Remus asked, frowning slightly.

Sirius shook his head, fixing his attention back on Remus, "What I mean is that she's going to have a great time on the date and she will kiss you, but you don't have to snog her if you don't feel comfortable with it."

"But you've all snogged -"

"Yeah, and you'll get your turn, there's no rush," Sirius insisted.

"Peter was making bets in the Common Room," Remus whispered.

"Little rat," Sirius replied, turning to glare at an uncomfortable looking Peter. "He should know not to place bets that'd upset other Marauders. Marauders come first. I'll be having words." Lowering his voice again, his stormy grey eyes met Remus'.

"Do you want a snog?"

Remus nodded.

"And you are scared?" Sirius asked.

Another nod.

"Does it need to be with her? Does it matter who it's with?" Sirius asked, his eyes darting down to Remus' lips. He couldn't believe he was even contemplating this. It was Remus - his best friend. Could he really snog his best friend?

Remus shook his head, looking at Sirius in curiousity.

Sirius took advantage of his answer by pulling Remus in close and quickly covering his friend's mouth with his own, not allowing himself another moment of doubt over the matter. He was helping a friend out, nothing more.

A moment without any response, before Remus nervously mirrored his movement, moving his lips slowly against Sirius', his lips parting enough for Sirius to deepen the kiss.

Sirius felt dazed as he pulled away. It was clear that Remus wasn't an expert, but Sirius didn't care. He could do that for hours. For a first kiss, that was some skill. Sirius didn't even want to think of how sloppy and wet his own first kiss was.

"Well?" Remus whispered, his gaze on the floor and his cheeks red. He ignored the blue and hazel eyes that were fixed on him in shock.

"Moony, you haven't a thing to worry about," Sirius said, trying to keep his voice steady. "You are one hell of a kisser. Now go on your date." Remus looked relieved and turned to the door.

"And if you ever need to practice..." Sirius added, winking as Remus turned to look at him. The blush deepened and Remus quickly left the room.

He turned around, his gaze fixed on Peter.

"What happens in the dorm, stays in the dorm," he said. He waited for Peter to nod before settling on his bed with a magazine that he had no intention to read.

That kiss had affected him more than he cared to admit. He wondered if James would go with him to follow Remus and Dorcas on their date.

He didn't think that Dorcas was right for Remus after all.
