Disclaimer: Not a single character in this story belongs to me. Everything in here belongs to J. K. Rowling, so don't start suing, ok? I don't make any money out of this.

Author's Note: Well, what can I said about this fic. You could say that it's the typical Remus/Sirius story: they are friends until their sixth year in Hogwarts, when they fall in love with each other. On their seventh year they finally start dating, and some time after they finish school they move in together. Now, I decided not to touch that part of their story, because, well, there are like a thousand stories telling exactly the same. I decide to tell the rest of the story, yeah people, this story takes place between the time when the happy couple is having troubles, until that October night, when James and Lily died, Voldemort was vanish, Harry became an orphan and Sirius ends up in Azkaban.

Or at least, it will be until that part if you leave reviews. I know, that's extortion, but I don't care. Now, enjoy.

"And they live happily ever after"

Author: Lorien Lupin

- I love you – said Sirius after another long silence during dinner.

- Yeah, yeah, I love you too – was the cold, distracted response of Remus, that continued without making eye contact with the pair of gray eyes that looked at him from across the table.

With a sad expression on his face, Sirius watched the other man eat his dinner while reading the newspaper. Finally, after five more minutes of eating in silence, Remus finished his dinner, and putting his newspaper aside, got up from the table, picking his dirty dishes in the process. Remus putted the dishes and the silverware in the sink and cast a washing spell on them before he left the room.

In the dinning-room Sirius watched him leave, and after sighing ate the rest of his dinner. After a while, Sirius gave up on eating, and disappeared the leftovers of his dinner. When his dish was washing itself next to Remus's, Sirius breathed deeply and followed the other man into the bedroom.

Sirius walked to the bedroom, but stopped when he reached the doorframe. Remus was already in bed, a couple of candles were flying above his head, giving him enough light to read the book in his hands. He was sitting over the bed sheets with his back leaning on some pillows, and apparently, he was very concentrate in his book.

Sirius let himself get distracted for a moment with the lean, muscular body of the werewolf, dress only with a pair of baggy pajama bottoms, and the same serious expression on his face.

Was that expression what pulled Sirius back to reality, and the reality was that he had screw up again, badly this time, and that his Moony hadn't look at him in the eyes for more than two weeks already.

- Rem, I'm sorry – said Sirius suddenly, walking towards the bed and sitting next to the other man.

Remus breathed deeply and blinked a couple of times, but kept his golden eyes on the book.

- I know you are, you already said that – said Remus calmly and, again, a little cold.

- Damn it, Remus!!! – Exploded Sirius – it's been two weeks already. Can you at least look me in the eyes? I said that I'm sorry like a hundred times already.

Remus finally closed the book and putted it in the bedside table, before he turned around, giving Sirius a hard look.

- Yes, Sirius; you're sorry. You're always sorry – said Remus with a cold and angry voice – you're sorry, and I'm tired – add Remus, his voice suddenly exhausted and emotionless.

- Remus, forgive me; this won't happen again. I promise.

- Fuck, Sirius!!! – Exploded Remus, finally dropping the calm attitude – That's not the problem!!! Don't you get it? FUCK!!! – Scream, grabbing the book and throwing it across the room, almost hitting the window.

Sirius threw his head back a little at Remus's sudden outburst. Remus closed his eyes, and breathed deeply again, trying to calm himself before he look at Sirius. When he finally looked at Sirius, he look tired and sad, but calm, non-the less.

- That's not the problem, Sirius. Don't you see? This was just one more fight. Yeah, it was the worst of all, but in the end, it was just one more. We haven't done anything but fight for the past four or five months. And don't get me wrong, but... I don't know if this is worth it, anymore.

- Remus, don't say that – said Sirius, feeling suddenly scare for the calm voice that Remus had used to say that – I promise, I won't mess up anymore. We can work this out, you'll see.

- Sirius it's not what you had done. Believe it or not, I don't care that much that you slept with another man. And that's the problem; it should matter to me if you slept with another man, I should care because I'm supposed to be in love with you.

- No, no; Remus, don't talk like that – said Sirius with a hint of desperation creeping in to his voice – I love you, and you love me; you said it, and I can't believe that you'd lie to me about something like that.

- Oh Sirius, I don't know if this is love anymore. This relationship isn't working, and it hasn't been working for almost a year now. And I'm tired of the fighting, and I'm tired of forgiving, and I'm tired of asking for forgiveness. I'm tired of trying to keep this relationship to fall apart – Remus looked down for a moment before looking up again, and smiled at Sirius for the first time in more than two weeks.

But that smile didn't calm Sirius's fear; that sad, melancholic smile, just make the fear in Sirius even bigger.

- Don't cry Sirius, it's true and you know it – said Remus sweetly, raising his hand and caressing Sirius cheek.

Sirius raised his own hand, and dried the tears that were shining in his eyes. He hadn't noticed when he had begun to cry, but he was having a hard time trying not to. Remus removed his hand from Sirius's cheek and looked away before speaking again.

- I think it was a mistake moving in together...

- No – interrupted Sirius, but Remus kept talking, with his eyes still focus on the wall.

- ...Maybe we should take a break from this...

- No!!! – Interrupted Sirius again, this time with stronger voice.

Sirius raised his hand and grabbed Remus's jaw, forcing him to look him back.

- I don't want to take a break. Are you listening to me? I love you, and I don't want to take a break from us.

- But I do – said Remus simply – tomorrow I'm going home – he add before laying back in bed and getting under the sheets, facing the bedside table – go to sleep Sirius, you haven't been sleeping well this days.

- No, Remus; listen to me – said Sirius with clear desperation, grabbing Remus's shoulder and leaning over his head; talking with increasing speed – this is your home. I know that you're upset, and yes, things hadn't been going great in the past four months, but we can work this out. We belong together – he finished, encircling the other man waist and pulling him closer before started kissing his ear and his neck with passion and desperation.

- Get away from me!!! – Yelled Remus, with angry voice, freeing himself from Sirius's arms and getting out of the bed – Sirius, sex doesn't fix every problem in a relationship. FUCK!!! – Cursed Remus before adding – I'm going home – said Remus, grabbing his wand from the bedside table and one of his pillows from the bed, before walk away a little, still sending angry looks in Sirius's direction.

- But this is your home!!! – Cried Sirius.

- Home with my parents, Sirius – said Remus simply – I'll pick up my things in the morning, around ten o'clock – he added looking away from Sirius before he finish – please, don't be here by then.

After that, Remus raised his wand and disappeared in the air. Sirius stayed in the same posture for a wile, staring at the place where Remus had been before he disappear. Tears started to run down his cheeks, as he lay completely in bed. A minute later he was sobbing uncontrollably, eyes firmly shut, face wet with tears, and both arms hugging desperately Remus's other pillow; wondering what had went wrong with them.

Author's note: Well, What do you think? Is sad, I know; but what can I say; that's me, I love drama, especially if involve romance.

P.S. Yes, I corrected the grammar a little; well at least I tried. I don't have much time to write fics, less of all to correct them, so if you're interested on being my beta for this fic, please email me, thanks.
