Saturday night. Date night. Girls spending hours getting dressed only to be undressed, boys sitting around drinking till their girlfriends were ready to go, it was the Saturday night tradition, the dating game. It seemed everyone was going out, everyone except for Remus Lupin.
When everyone else was preparing for their date (either by drinking a ton of alcohol or by spending hours brushing their hair, bathing in perfume and re-applying make up) he was in the bathroom looking up at the ceiling and wondering when the hell his life had become so pathetic. In truth he was doing quiet a bit more than just looking up at his ceiling. For one thing he was naked, for another there was a porno magazine pushed up against the sink; I think we all have a general idea of what Remus Lupin was doing in this precise moment.
For the last couple of months this had become his Saturday night rituals. Yes he knew it was a pathetic thing to be doing on a perfectly good date night but the problem was that he wasn't sure who there was to date. His brown eyes were staring at the ceiling darkly as if it was its fault that he was standing there, alone while everyone else had fun.
Suddenly the bathroom door was opened by the tall lean figure of Sirius Black as he strutted in to the room. Immediately Remus grabbed a towel to cover himself but in his rush the magazine dropped to the floor. Sirius stood there for a moment then gave his usual bark like laughter "No worries Rem, I won't bust your big Saturday night plans"
Remus rolled his eyes, "Just leave me alone" he muttered blushing.
"Merlin if you're this horny just come down with us there's tons of hot girls just waiting to be fucked by a gorgeous marauder like yourself"
Remus blush deeper "They're not my type"
"Then go to the library and find one of those beautiful brainy Ravenclaws and finally do something useful in the library" he laughed again. Suddenly his eyes looked down at the magazine on the floor and the hinges of his mouth twisted immediate interest. "Either Playboy started printing pictures of girls with no boobs or those are blokes you're staring at" he said looking at Remus's face blush even further. Sirius leaned down and picked up the magazine "Well would you look at that, they are boys," he said very calmly.
"Yeah, I know," muttered Remus furiously not able to look at his best friend.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I just... I don't know," his voice broke and as his eyes lifted to Sirius's face, he suddenly looked slightly weak, vulnerable, needy.
"Why don't you finish up and get dressed. I'm be right back" said Sirius as he dropped the magazine back on the sink and walked quickly out of the room planning on breaking up his date and talk to Remus about all this.
Remus sighed and ran a hand through his golden brown hair... "This can't be happening," he muttered as he got in to the shower and turned it on all the way, letting the steamy water wash over him for a couple of minutes before getting out and dressing.
By the time that Sirius walked back in he stood fully clothed and still blushing. "Wanna go for a walk?" asked Sirius his head tilted to one side so that he looked more like a dog than ever.
"Sure," they walked out of the bathroom, dormitory and common room constantly having to say hi to everyone they meet and having to explain that they just 'didn't feel like going out' more than a thousand times.
"Finally silence" said Sirius as they walked down an empty hallway.
"Yeah"
"So you like guys"
"Yeah"
"You don't like girls"
"Nope"
"So you're gay"
"That's right"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I wasn't sure how you would all take it. To you girls and sex with girls is like... sacred," Sirius laughed.
"Not to sound like your parents but Rem we're going to love you no matter what" Remus couldn't help but blush slightly as Sirius threw his arm around him in a strangely paternal fashion. They were now exiting the castle and walking together towards the lake. Thin mist rose as they spoke and their footsteps were hard on the frozen ground.
They sat down by the lake. "So what do you think about all this?" asked Remus softly looking at his best friend with slight anxiety.
"Well it sure explains a lot"
"Yeah I suppose it does," slowly he turned sideways so that he was facing Sirius. "You're not surprised are you?"
"Honestly? No."
"How'd you know?"
"I don't know. You never look at girls. Most of your friends are girls. Besides you are rather feminine"
"WHAT?" screamed Remus his eyes wide.
"Well I mean... you are a little feminine"
Without thinking Remus lunged at Sirius playfully knocking him to the ground hard. "No fucken' way you're getting away with saying I'm feminine!" Sirius laughed and easily turned things over so that he was on top of Remus. He pinned Remus's thin arms to the ground in a second.
"You are feminine!"
"No I'm not!" he screamed defensively.
Sirius Black was known for making irrational momentary decisions and what he did next might have been the worst of them all. Without thinking, still lying there on top of Remus, he kissed him hard on the mouth. The kiss lasted a couple of moments but when he pulled apart he could see that Remus was mad.
"Get of me," he muttered as he attempted to move. Slowly Sirius rolled off of him, landing hard on the frozen ground. There was a moment of silence before Remus spoke "What the hell Sirius! Just because I'm gay does not give the right to do that. What were you thinking!" he screamed.
Sirius blinked, "I wasn't thinking"
Remus shook his head, "Well you should start doing that sometime!" he shouted angrily standing up and walking back towards the castle hot tears welling up in his eyes.
A/N: Alright there goes the first chapter. I'm not really sure what I plan on doing with this so suggestions/improvements would be great. Thanks for reading and please review :D
