THE STAR AND HIS MOON

CHAPTER 1

It had been on their fifth year when the Marauders once again discovered a secret of Remus'.

They had found out about his preference for boys rather than girls. He had told the other three about it and to his utter surprise and amazement, they had accepted the news so well that he was left gobsmacked.

"Well, that's fine and jolly, Moony. This means that Prongs here wouldn't need to worry about his darling Lily to be smitten by you," Sirius had said lightly; looking as if Remus had just told him that the weather for the day was sunny.

"Hey! Don't worry Moony, I had never doubted you. Stupid Sirius here had just decided to tag that comment randomly," James reassured to him and complained to the other in one go.

"Wha- You're all...fine with this?"

All three looked back at him simultaneously.

"Why shouldn't we?" Asked Sirius confusedly with a cock of his head.

"Well, I mean, it's not a usual news to be blurted out just like that and I-"

"Remus darling Moony, relax. We didn't try to run away from you when we found out about your furry little problem, so why should we freak over this?" James spoke with a sincere tone.

Remus found that he didn't have an answer to that question.

"It's fine, Remus. You're still you, so we're not going to act differently around you just because we knew about your preference," Peter had quipped reassuringly.

Hearing their comforting words, the golden-haired boy felt an amazing feeling of relief sweeping through him. He still didn't know what he'd done to ever receive this unwavering loyalty and friendship from them, but hell if he'd ever give it up.

"How come I have a feeling as if the three of you had been expecting this?" Remus asked while suspiciously peering into the three faces in front of him.

Sirius and James had been able to avoid his gaze, being the mischievous boys that they were, but Peter hadn't been so lucky.

"A-ah, well, Moony, we were sorta...expecting a confession of some sort. Since, um, we knew about it beforehand..." the quiet boy stuttered in reply.

"How?" Remus didn't know how they could've found out about it. After all, he'd never dated anyone or did anything with any other boys.

"Oh, from an...informant," Sirius put in easily, remaining vague in his answer.

Remus, knowing that there was no point for him to try and get the truth out of his three closest friends, decided to accept the somewhat unclear answer. The three could keep a secret to their grave, after all, and if they wanted to hide something, they could do it better than anyone else. Just like how they've kept Remus' biggest secret throughout all these years.

"Fine. I'm just glad that you three didn't take the news negatively," he said in relief.

The trio merely grinned.

"So, anyone caught our dear Remy's interest yet?"

It was a month after what they'd all dubbed 'Moony's Confession' and James had decided to ask this question for the second time since they became open about it.

Remus sighed before replying,

"No, James. Just because I'm gay doesn't mean that I'll start jumping any guy that crossed my path."

James dropped the conversation after that.

It wasn't that he'd been merely curious, but rather because he'd been hoping Remus would give a reply that might give some sort of indication as to whether he was interested with a certain ebony-haired boy or not.

James Potter was not stupid, despite how Lily would argue to that point, and therefore realised about Sirius' feelings even when the other boy didn't tell him anything. It had been obvious from the longing glances and fond smiles that the Hogwart's heartthrob gave towards Remus' direction in secret glances and moments.

James had been lucky over the fact that he knew the other boy so well. Sirius and he always act like brothers, and due to this, he was able to notice the different way with which Sirius acted towards their studious Marauder.

He often wondered -when his mind wasn't occupied by the thoughts of Lily- as to why Sirius didn't just confess to the other boy about his feelings. He wasn't one to keep his feelings; Sirius had always been brutally honest in that way, preferring to say things out loud rather than bottling up his feelings and risked misunderstanding.

But he also knew that this time, the situation has a much higher stake; their friendship would be on the line if the two of them were to drift apart because of it.

So he remained silent, watching his two best friends; waiting until the chance for him to possibly help them get together came.

Sirius, James and Peter were sitting on the floor of their dormitory room planning their newest prank when the fourth Marauder stepped into the room. All three looked up and couldn't help but wonder about the reason as to why Remus was smiling for no reason.

"Sooo, what is it this time, Moony?" Sirius asked, he knew he seemed to be nonchalant to his friend's answer, but in reality, his whole being would always focus their attention on the boy standing in front of him more than anyone else.

Being in love with one of your own best friends was proving to be more difficult and painful than Sirius had ever thought. He'd never told anyone about this more-than-platonic feeling of his; not wanting their friendship to become uncomfortable because of it.

He always thought that it was a futile love even from the beginning, thinking that his straight friend would always be out of his reach. That is, until the big revelation that Lily figured out. Her bright mind saw through Remus' lack of interest in girls and after telling her not-quite-boyfriend about it, James had promptly told Sirius about it.

Sirius didn't know how in the world his pseudo brother figured out that he wouldn't be reacting negatively about this bit of news. After that, they'd breached the subject slowly and subtlety to Peter and to their relief, he'd been perfectly fine with things like that.

Therefore, they weren't surprised when Remus decided to tell them of his secret. Sirius wasn't disgusted or feel anything remotely dislike towards this; in contrary, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of the blasted hope that his feelings might not have to stay unrequited forever.

He tried to stop himself from hoping, he really did, but despite his mind telling himself that Remus was just too good for him with his perfect marks, manners and kindest heart; his heart wasn't going to be deterred.

"Well, I have something to tell you three," Remus began, an air of nervousness around him.

"What is it?"

The three sitting Marauders gave the standing one their complete attention.

"Prongs, you know how you're always asking as to whether someone caught my attention or not? Well, someone did. He just confessed to me and I said yes. So now I'm dating him," Remus told them all with a smile.

Sirius felt his heart broke into tiny little pieces.
