Chapter One; These characters belong to J. K. Rowling, I am merely having fun with them.

He was washing his hands when the bathroom door opened. He glanced up and saw Sirius staring back at him. "Hey." He greeted, receiving a grunt back. He shrugged away the uncertainty of the hello and continued to clean up. It wasn't like he suspected a warm greeting from the guy. He had known him for five years now, and didn't really know all that much about him. He was James' friend, and like James, knew his secret. But he didn't really know much about him. Only that he was a Black. And Black's were...well...Sirius was...

"Hey Remus." Sirius laughed from the stall. "Are you going to take a bath in the sink?"

At the sound of Sirius' voice Remus realized that his shoes were being soaked along with the front of his shirt. The boy cursed as he quickly turned off the faucet and twisted around for a towel.

Sirius was two steps ahead of him. He held out the fabric for his drenched roommate.

"Thanks." Remus said as he pulled off his shirt and laid it out on the counter to help it dry.

"Welcome..." Sirius answered, staring at his reflection in the mirror. "Remus?" He said after awhile.

"Yes?" Remus answered, wiping his face with the damp cloth.

"I've wanted to tell you something for awhile now." He spat out, his eyes not daring to look at his roommate.

"What's that?" Remus insisted to know.

"I admire you."

"You admire me?"

"Yes." Sirius agreed. "I know what it is like to live in a...well, prison. But I know that I'm able to break away from it. You are your prison." Sirius stared at the faded scars on Remus' face and arms; leaving the other a bit uncomfortable. "And well...I admire that."

Remus couldn't believe his ears. Was Sirius Black really saying these words? He knew the boy was a great trickster, but to play such a trick on him was just...wrong! How dare he even consider the possibility at the attempt? Remus glanced around the restroom to see if James and Peter were hiding behind a stall door.

"And there's something else I've wanted to do for awhile."

"What's that?" Remus asked not paying attention as firm hands grabbed his head just behind his ears. He froze in place when Sirius pressed his lips to his. His heart raced as his mind tried to processes what was happening. He wasn't even in the right state of mind to push away. Shock was all he felt...and...

Remus didn't notice when Sirius stepped away. He only heard the pounding of his heart against his rib cage and a faint humming sound from somewhere in the back of his head. The world was tuned out around him. Not even when the door to the restroom was kicked open, did Remus move out of his state.

"Oi! There you two are! I have been looking everywhere." Rang Peter's familiar squeal to the back of Lupin's head as he stared at the two seeming irritated; although, it was the first place he had chose to look. "You guys have to come in here! James is tossing tracking water balloons out the window at Snivellus! It's great! Come on!"

The three stood in silence for awhile longer, before Black stepped around Lupin, "You coming, Moony?" He asked. The words had no affect on Lupin; he only focused on Black's arm brushing against his as he walked by. "Moony?"

"I'll be right there...I need to...finish up in here." Remus answered in a drone voice, making a slight motion at his shirt.

"Right!" Peter answered and left the restroom, Siruis in tow after a slit pause to stare at the back of his werewolf friend.
