A/N: So, it's 3:17 A.M. and I had this little idea pop into my head. If there are any mistakes...sorry...I'll fix them tomorrow. This is going ot be a twoshot, but if enough people like it, I'll give you more. That means however, that you must review and tell me that you want more...I hope it's not too sappy...or mary-sueish. Kylie has her flaws...let me tell you...maybe I'll write more about those...
Disclaimer: Most of this belongs to JKR...you people really need to realize that if I owned Remus I wouldn't have to write these stories...I'd be living them. I do own the idea for this story, Kylie Kay Cohen and I kinda sorta own Danielle, who is only slightly mentioned in this fic. A little bit OOC-ness, but I think I covered it very well. Enjoy!
Sirius Black wasn't surprised when Kylie Cohen had run to him, asking him what to do. At first he was confused. What to do about what? Why would she want his help? She didn't want help when she wondered in to the Shrieking shack, only to see one his his best mates (and hers by the way), Remus have his monthly transformation in to a werewolf. She barely ever wanted help from any one. Sirius almost refused to help her confess to Remus. He agreed for three reasons. One, Remus was his best mate, and rarely stopped talking about the girl. Of course he wanted his friend to be happy. Two, the girl had been his good friend, and like a little sister to him since he could remember. She even helped him get in to his current and longest lasting relationship. Three, he stated with a grin, the sexual tension between the two was killing him. So he told her how to catch Remus, and Kylie squealed in a very high pitched tone. She gave him a hug that nearly knocked him to the ground.
Kylie and Remus were in the library. Not a surprise for either of them. Both were a little more into their studies than their friends. Well, except for Lily. They however were not studying, like they planned to do. They were chatting away, making sure to be quiet. Remus telling a story about how James banished Remus from reading a single book for two months. Kylie listened and smiled. Amber and blue clashed as they never broke eye contact.
"You can't bloody be serious!"
"I'm not Sirius...but I'm telling the truth." He whispered with a grin. She smiled, hitting him lightly. That joke was a very popular one with the Marauders...and she heard it often.
"Why would James do such a thing?" She asked.
"He thought it would be funny." Remus shrugged, brushing some of his light brown hair out of his eyes.
"You poor thing! I don't know what I could do with out a book for two months." Kylie whispered, "That'd be like being with out air, or chocolate or-"
"Being without you?" Remus blurted out, inwardly cringing. A voice that sounded surprisingly like Sirius was saying,
'Smooth, Moony...Smooth.' in his head.
"What?" Kylie said, blushing.
"Nothing." He blushed as well. She sighed deeply.
"Remus." She said, a little louder, moving towards him, her hand on his arm. "Remus, I..." She began, he knew what she wanted to say. It was too obvious. She however couldn't pluck up the courage, she moved her hand away. She stood and went to leave, he grabbed her wrist,
"You what?" He stood as well.
"I love you..." She whispered, turning away. He moved very quickly, lightly pressing her back in to a shelf of books. His hand traced her collar bone, and he could feel the wolf in him growl in pleasure at the contact. Warm, smooth, creamy skin. He took a deep breath, gaining control of him self.
"Say it again." He whispered.
"I know it's silly." She said, nervously. "We're only seventeen, and it's a big jump from friendship to love, but I can't-"
"Just say it." He said, a little impatiently.
"I-" She began, on the verge of fright and nervousness. She looked deep in to the amber eyes. "I love you."
He dipped his head, pressing his lips against hers. They were soft, and warm. They were perfect, and tasted better than he'd imagined.. He stroked her neck, causing her to shiver lightly. She raised her hand to his cheek, he buried his in her silky hair. The wolf urged him to do more, to ravage her like it wanted to all these years...like he always wanted to. He pulled away.
'The wolf...'
That's why he couldn't have her to begin with. Remus lowered his head, shutting his eyes tightly. He'd just made a big mistake by letting this kiss happen.
"I'm sorry...I can't." He whispered, not daring to open his eyes.
"Remus...is it because of the...the wolf?" She whispered, he nodded. She took in a deep breath. Tears already swelling in her eyes.
'Be strong Kylie Kay...remember what Sirius said...don't take no for an answer!'
"Darling...I love you...All these years. I have...I want you... All of you. Wolf and all..." She heard her voice cracking and cringed." Please...Don't do this to me...Don't do this to your self...You deserve to be happy..." She said, putting her other hand on his other cheek. "I want to make you happy..."
"I'm sorry." He whispered again. Remus was always a man of self control. And he knew if he opened his eyes, and saw those shiny blue eyes with tears in them, he would lose control. He would take her in to his arms, and make promises he wasn't sure he could keep. He couldn't assure her that he would never hurt her, he couldn't assure her that everything would be alright. She was better off with out him in the long run. There would be pain now, but happiness later. Of that he was almost positive. He heard a dry sob escape her, and she ran out. Leaving him to mull in his miserable thoughts. He plopped back down in his chair, and opened the closed book.
'You kind of blew it, mate.' Sirius' voice rang in his head. He rolled his yes.
"Shut up." He mumbled out loud. He tried to read, but ended up reading the same line about twenty times.
Sirius was strolling about the castle, when a familiar brunette caught his eye. Though she didn't look happy, she didn't look happy at all. Tears streaked her face, and she was hurrying her way to who knows where. He frowned instantly. She stayed away from the crowds of people in the hallway, and Sirius was after her immediately; whilst doing so he passed and ignored a swooning girl. He couldn't care in the least.
"Kylie!" He called, but she didn't turn, "Kylie!" He called again, he fell in step with her. Grabbing her arm lightly, he stopped and she was forced to as well."Kylie." He whispered. She let out a dry sob, and attached her self to him immediately. Shaking lightly as she cried. He shushed her, and comforted her, ignoring the curious looks they were getting. She finally stopped, and looked up at him.
"Oh, Sirius...it went horribly." She whispered, her face red, and tears streaking her face.
"Really?" He said, with a smile, "It seems as though it went perfectly...You'd never guess that's anything's wrong at all..." He said. She smiled a little. "Come on, let's go back to the common room."
"And all he said, was 'I'm sorry'?" Sirius asked.
"Yes...I asked him if it was about...the-"
"'Furry little problem'?" Sirius covered, looking around the room. Then giving her a 'watch what you say' stare.
"Yes." She said, with an apologetic smile.
"What did he say, when you asked him?"
"He just nodded."
"Hmm...and what did you say?" Sirius asked, narrowing his eyes.
"I told him that I loved him, with his...'problem' and all...Then I told him he deserved to be happy, and that I wanted to make him happy."
"There was a lot of emphasis, in that remark." Sirius grinned.
"Bravo. I didn't even think you know what emphasis means." He stuck his tongue out at her, and she returned a funny face. Sirius smiled, that was his little sister. The goofy one who was content knowing the people she loved were happy.
"And then what happened?" He urged.
"I let out an odd, sob like noise, and ran out." She said.
"Well this wont do." Sirius stated. "I shall have to speak to him myself."
"What are you gonna say?" She asked, "'Go out with Kylie, or I shall burn every book you pick up'?"
"That's a good threat." Sirius smiled, mischievously. "But, back to business...All I'm going to do is talk some sense in to him."
"Oh joy. That's sure to work." She said, sarcastically.
"Have faith, dearest little sister. Have faith." With that he stood, and turned to leave, "Oh, and when you see Danielle, give her my love."
"Okay, whatever." She said, rolling her eyes. She mumbled something bitterly to her self, that sounded like, "Stupid cute couple..."
(A/N: this section is dedicated to barbeeblack...uh...on with the story.)
"Moony, forgive me, but you are an incomprehensible arse." Came the cool voice of Sirius Black, distracting Remus from the potions paper he was focused on. Remus raised an eyebrow at him.
"Way to go, Pad. Incomprehensible is a big word." He replied. (A/N: tell me about it...16 bloody letters.) "Do you even know what it means.?"
"I do indeed!" Sirius said, with a huffy tone. "Stop trying to change the subject...you know why I'm here."
"Do I?" Remus frowned.
"Yes." Sirius nodded.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"YES! BLOODY HELL!" Sirius yelled, the librarian glared at him. He mouthed an apology and turned back to his friend, who was smirking. "And they say you're the innocent one..." Sirius mumbled.
"Not innocent...just better at not getting caught."
"Well no one would suspect you...perfect prefect." Sirius frowned. "Say that ten times fast...perfect prefect perfect prefect. Perfect prefect...uh...why am I here again?"
"You don't know...but apparently I do." Remus said.
"Really?"
"That's what you were going on about a minute ago." Remus pointed out.
"Oh yeah!" Sirius smacked his forehead. He took a seat across from him, and placed his feet on the table. "I'm here on behalf of a Miss Kylie Thomas."
"I knew that." Remus looked backdown at his essay.
"I know that you knew that, which is why earlier I stated that I knew you knew, which you already know." Sirius paused, processing his own words. "But any way...that's why I'm here."
"Sirius, you know it's too dangerous...I can't have a normal relationship."
"No I don't know that." Sirius said, "But I do know that she's a bloody mess, and it's your fault...and Kylie's anything but normal...you know that."
"I know." He said quietly.
"Good, now go make it better." Sirius grinned. "Go sweep her off her feet."
"I can't Sirius." Remus sighed. "She deserves someone who wont be too ill to get out of bed three days out of every month. She deserves to feel safe, and not scared that her lover is going to be impossibly sweet moment, and then be a monster the next."
"You're not monster, Moony."
"I'm not, It is." He pointed out.
"This is really sad." Sirius narrowed his eyes, "Your punishing your self...for being...for being what you are." Remus didn't say any thing. He just looked down at his paper. "Being a lycanthrope isn't your fault..." Sirius was sure to be extremely quiet. "You shouldn't punish your self for it...and you damn well can't punish Kylie for it."
"I'm not!" Remus said loudly. The librarian shushed them again. "I'm doing her a favor..."
"You really are clueless...for Merlin's sake, you're supposed to be the smart one!" No reply, Sirius sighed, "Look, at the risk of sounding like a complete pansy...I care about you both...and I like the people I care about to be happy."
"I know that, Padfoot."
"Do you really? " Sirius asked, as if he didn't believe him "Maybe you think you know...but you don't...You're one of my best mates, and she's the little sister that I wish would replace that prat for a brother I have." Sirius earned a smile from Remus. "You two being miserable does nothing for me...and we all know it's always all about me."
"What am I to do, Padfoot?" Remus said, putting down his quill. "I'm doing what I think is best for her."
"I don't think you really know what's best for her..." Sirius said, quite seriously. (A/N: Couldn't resist. No pun intended...okay maybe a little...) "If you did you would've snogged her right here in the library, and then you'd tell her that you love her as much as she loves you...if not more." Remus merely stared at him. He was in shock at Sirius' ability to be deep and compassionate when he wanted to. He was also shocked that Sirius Black had been right, and he hadn't.
"Padfoot..." he said, but Sirius cut him off.
"Follow your heart Moony...Not your mind...Just this once...Don't over think it." Sirius stood, and gave a trademark grin, "Now... To make up for all this sappiness, I must go do something extremely manly...I bid you farewell." With that he left, leaving his comrade in a stupor.
He stared after him for a moment, before he smiled shook his head, and packed up his things. It had been a long day, and Remus needed food, sleep, and chocolate. He had a lot of damage control to do, he couldn't do it on an empty stomch.
