A/N: There is no Voldemort in this story, so there is no war and Peter is still good, along with other side effects. Also, Sirius never pranked Snape in 5th year, so Snape doesn't know Remus is a werewolf.

Indirect Remus POV

Remus sighed and put his head down on the table. Lily would always be better at potions, he decided. Although it was his opinion that he had improved a great amount since the start of his 6th year, he still couldn't grasp some of the tougher subjects, one of which he was working on right now. Lily was off somewhere, Remus didn't know where.

His assignment isn't due until next Wednesday, but the full moon was on Sunday, so he wanted to prepare just in case. Slughorn, his potions teacher, had assigned a twenty-four inch essay on the differences between a poisoning potion and a healing potion's brewing process, but he only had about 6. Great.

Although he had looked through the library for almost an hour, he couldn't find any more books that had anything about the brewing process of a healing potion, or a poison potion. Resolving to ask Lily tomorrow, he sighed and starting packing up his stuff. It was Tuesday, thankfully, so

he still had plenty of time.

His inner wolf had yet to come out, so he luckily didn't have any anger right now, just exhaustion. Part of the reason he wanted to get the essay done so soon is because he knew from experience that studying got harder and harder the closer it got to the full moon. All his teachers knew about his illness, so they let him get away with late assignments around the full moon, but he tried not to let that affect his work ethic. Sirius liked to call it his "furry little problem". He took a deep breath. Sirius. Since the train ride back to Hogwarts a month ago, he couldn't stop thinking about him.

He tried to convince himself that it was just an admiration for him, or being proud of him, but he could tell inside that it wasn't. He remembered that on the first day of school this year, he had walked in on Sirius changing in the dorms. They shared a room, after all, so it wasn't unusual to see someone half naked.

That day though, it felt different. He had stopped in his tracks, and his breath hitched in his throat. Sirius was shirtless, facing him, and he couldn't look away. Although Remus wasn't paying attention, luckily Sirius was reading some sort of card and didn't see Remus galking at him from across the dorm. Staring at his perfect, just hard enough abs, and toned chest, Remus barely snapped out of it before Sirius could look up. "Like what you see, Moony?" Sirius had said with a smirk.

Remus did, but he couldn't tell Padfoot that for obvious reasons. "Just trying to see the card, Pads," he replied smoothly. They had read it together, side by side, hips almost touching, with Sirius still shirtless. Remus, suddenly realizing he probably looked like a tomato, bolted from the dorm yelling " Just need to use the bathroom! I'll be right back!"

He had spent an hour in the bathroom, trying to calm himself down, and trying to get a certain someone's abs out of his mind.

Finally coming back to reality in the library, he saw a flash of black out of the corner of his eye. Then, his entire vision went black as soft, warm hands covered his eyes. "Guess who?" a silky voice breathed on his neck. Remus had known since the hands went over his eyes, because of the spark that went through him at Sirius's touch, but decided to play dumb.

"Hmmm… is that Prongs I hear? Or maybe Ms. McGonagall?" He teased, while Sirius smiled behind him.

"Guess again, moons," Padfoot had whispered into his other ear, Remus shivering as his hot breath touched his neck.

"Okay, I give. Who is it?" Remus laughed while Sirius jumped out from behind him.

"Gotcha! It was me!" Sirius exclaimed quietly, aware that Madam Pince was keeping an eye on them.

Remus laughed at the adorable look on Sirius's face while he finished putting his things away. "Why'd you come over here?" Remus asked. "I thought that the library was boring?"

"Just wanted to make sure you're okay, Moons," Sirius said, face suddenly filled with concern. "Didn't want you to miss my beautiful face too long!" He laughed, looking handsome as ever.

Remus had gotten a lot better at dealing with Sirius's comments, so he just smiled and said, "Sure, Pads. Whatever you want to think."

As they headed back to the dorms, Remus couldn't help but wonder if Sirius could think the same things that he did.

He had realized he was gay over the summer, finding a men's health magazine in a closet and not being able to put it down for hours. Just looking at the cover had given him a feeling that he hadn't gotten before from looking at women. He couldn't stop thinking about Sirius. After the school year started, Remus was unable to deny that he liked Sirius.

Sirius had said something, but Remus was lost in thought.

"Moony?" Remus snapped to attention.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" Remus asked apologetically.

Instead of answering, Sirius teased him. "OoOoOo! I think you're thinking about a girl! About time you got a crush!" Remus didn't notice the hint of sadness that crossed Sirius's eyes.

Remus blushed. He hadn't been thinking about a girl at all, he'd been thinking about boys. Well, one boy in particular. Turning the question around, Remus asked, "what about you? It's been a month, and the infamously handsome Sirius Black has no girlfriend? Whats wrong with you?"

Padfoot smiled at the compliment, putting on his dramatic flair. "But alas, no girl could ever compare with the beauty I desire!" Remus noticed he looked...nervous? When he said the word girl.

Remus smiled as they walked through the portrait hole into the Gryffindor conference room. It was almost curfew, and the room was nearly empty save a few first years in the corner and, of course, James and Peter.

They smiled as we walked in, and Peter gave me a smirk that nobody else caught, thankfully. Although Peter was often the misfit in the group, he had a talent for catching crushes. He gave a pointed nod over to Sirius, who was currently in a tickle fight with James.

Well, it was fairly one sided, as Padfoot was sitting on top of Prongs, tickling him with gusto. Remus felt a surge of jealousy and anger, but dismissed it as the closeness to the full moon. As Sirius declared himself the winner, Remus asked a laughing James if he had seen Lily today.

"As a matter of fact, I did," James said way too proudly for lying under another marauder.

"What, did you give her a bouquet and she needed to go to the health room it looked so bad?" Peter piped up.

After a fit of laughter, James blurted out, "We went on a date."

All three of them exclaimed, "A DATE?"

James said, "Yup," and they argued for almost twenty minutes about whether or not that was true. Remus thought so, Lily and him were pretty close and he had tried to put in a good word. On James' part, he had been acting more mature lately, and had laid off teasing Severus. They weren't pals by any means, but they could have an amicable conversation when necessary.

After they had finally went up to the dorms, Remus laid awake thinking about Sirius. It wasn't long before he started shivering. The castle got cold at night, especially in the towers.

The moon was bright, so he could see when Sirius got up and walked to his bed. His heart started beating so fast he was sure Pads could hear it.

"Hey, Moony. I heard you shivering," Remus felt as another blanket was added to his already monstrous pile. Because of his monthly transformations, he was never able to keep on any amount of body fat at a time, so he was always cold.

It was too dark for Remus to see Sirius's face, but if he could have seen it he would have seen the sweetest smile ever, and total adoration in his eyes.

"Night, Pads," Remus said as Sirius turned to walk away.

"Night, Moons," Sirius replied.

Remus fell asleep shortly after that, dreaming of a certain someone.
