The rhythmic booming could be heard throughout the grounds of Hogwarts; however, no one could hear it due to the fact that everyone was asleep. Everyone, that is, except Remus Lupin.
Remus was laying stock still, arms and legs straight, trying to ignore the thunder. It didn't work. April showers bring May flowers. No one ever said anything about thunder. He thought with a scoff.
A loud crack could be heard, it seemed, from right outside Remus' window, making him jump. Remus could hear his heart beating in his ears so fast someone would've thought he'd just run a marathon. Trying to calm down didn't work seeing as every time he managed to get his breathing under control, another clap sounded.
On a particularly loud crack, Remus let out a little whimper and felt tears well up in his eyes.
Meanwhile, across the room, Sirius Black awoke with a start just in time to hear the crack rumbling off. Through his sleep-muddled mind, one thought came to the forefront: Remus.
Rubbing his eyes and getting out of bed, Sirius padded his way towards his best mate's four-poster.
"Moony?" Sirius whispered while pulling the crimson curtains back, revealing the rigid Remus.
"Oh, Moons." Sirius sighed as he nudged Remus over to make room for the animagus.
Remus looked over at Sirius without moving his neck and tried to scoot over as much as the little bed would allow.
Sirius got in the tiny bed and immediately wrapped his arms around the werewolf, trying to calm him. Remus laid his head on Sirius' chest trying to focus on his heartbeat rather than the weather outside.
Sirius could feel Remus shaking and started to mumble soft, soothing words.
"It's alright, it'll be over soon." Sirius whispered against Remus' forehead while rocking back and forth and stroking the boy's soft, sandy hair.
Soon Remus stopped shaking and the rumbling slowly started to get further away.
Sirius started shifting to get up, but Remus held him tighter.
"No… Stay… Please?" Remus said, slowly looking up at Sirius.
Sirius met his gaze and nodded. Scooting back over to Remus, he snaked his arms around the werewolf and placed a chaste kiss on his forehead.
Remus was shocked, but his stomach did a little flip anyway. He looked up at the raven-haired boy and swiftly pressed his lips to his.
Opening his eyes, even though he didn't realize he had closed them, he saw that Sirius' were closed as well.
Breaking the kiss, he chuckled slightly when he saw that Sirius still had his eyes closed. Finally he opened them and they just stared at each other.
A million thoughts were running through Remus' head. How was Sirius, playboy of Hogwarts, going to react to me, his very male best friend, kissing him on a whim? Will he expect something of me? What will he expect? Will it ruin our friendship? Remus began to panic. What if he doesn't want to talk to me anymore? He's the one who gets me through the full moon. And what made me do that in the first place?
And even though Remus was mentally beating himself up, he couldn't help the realization that it felt so right.
Sirius was having similar thoughts. What just happened? Who knew that Remus was so forward? Was it just because he was frightened of the thunder storm? What if he didn't mean it at all? I don't know what I'd-- No! No, I'm not gay! What would my parents say? Wait, I don't care what they think.
And even though Sirius was mentally beating himself up, he couldn't help the realization that it felt so right.
A/N: I know it's really short and it's kinda fluffy, but that's how I like my puppies. I'm going to try to do 3 chapters, but if not I know I'll definately do 2.
