( 4th year Marauders era) Everything about Sirius drew Remus in. His storm-gray eyes, his half-grin that made Remus' heart flutter, the way he didn't let those disgustingly bigoted pure-bloods like Snivellus push anyone around...Sirius means everything to him. If only Remus wasn't hiding the fact that he is lycanthrope, and if only Sirius wasn't dating every bloody girl in the school!

Remus

Remus was in his room, studying. He was sitting on the windowsill, glancing up from his Transfiguration textbook once and a while to look out at the sky, most particularly the moon. The full moon was only in 3 days, and it was beginning to take it's toll. He constantly felt his wolf instincts kick in, more than not at irritating times. Just this morning Sirius had tried to hand Remus a silver plate, and it was so close to his time of month, it burnt his hands. Although he immediately had the urge to tell Sirius everything, he knew he couldn't. He just...couldn't. It was a bad idea. Remus snapped out of his day dreams and focused back on the reading, this concentration was short-lived, however, due to the fact that Sirius had come bursting in, obviously coming back late from a date with another girl.

"Oi, Remus!" Sirius said lightly. His piercing blue-gray eyes left Remus fixated for a moment, but Remus quickly regained his composure.

"Hello, Sirius," He said with a soft smile. "Wherever have you been?" He asked sarcastically.

Sirius pretended to take offense. "Why, my dear Remmie, I have simply been studying!" He said jokingly. They both laughed and Sirius leaned over Remus, examining the cover of his book. Remus could smell the scent of Sirius' aftershave and in made him get butterflies. He wanted to pull Sirius by the tie into a beautiful embrace and kiss him until his world melted away...but he needed to stop kidding himself. Sirius was ogled over by nearly every girl and guy in the school- he wouldn't have time for someone like Remus. More importantly, Sirius was definitely not in to men. Well, that's how it looked to Remus. Sirius was constantly out with girls. It drove him insane, having to pretend he wasn't completely in love with him.

"So, Remus..."

"Yeah?"

"It's just... you've been acting a bit...on edge lately, and I was, uh, wondering, if something was-?"

Remus felt his pulse speed up. Sirius couldn't possibly know that he was a werewolf. He had hidden it so well. But Remus' panic was cut short by James bursting in to the room, red in the face.

"DAMN EVANS!" He roared.

Remus raised an eyebrow and Sirius rolled his eyes and muttered "What'd you do this time...?"

James sunk onto his bed miserably. "She called me a jerk..."

"And...?" Remus asked, a bit unsure. He knew it took more than Lily calling James a jerk to get him riled up.

"She...she said she wishes she never met me." James mumbled. Remus, being fairly close friends with Lily Evans, knew that she didn't really mean it.

"It will all be fine, just give her some space for a while." Remus said reassuringly.

Sirius, James and Peter spent the rest of the night trying to concoct some sort of...plan, while Remus just watched in awe of how ridiculous they could be. Still, it gave him a warm feeling inside to see that dreamy half-smile of Sirius's.

Sirius

Sirius was sitting on his bed with James and Peter, coming up with silly plans about how to get Evans to fall madly in love with James. Every once in a while, they would run an idea by Remus and so far, Remus pointed out an obvious flaw that they overlooked. Typical Remus, Sirius thought to himself. Remus was definitely the logical one of the group... Sirius loved that about him. Whenever Sirius felt his world was about to come crashing down, Remus could just say one word to him and it would all be better. Which is why Sirius had been so ... worried, lately. Remus wasn't acting like himself. This happened every month, it was rather odd, actually. But what really bothered Sirius was that Remus was obviously hiding something.

He didn't appreciate it when Remus kept things from him. It made him feel like Remus didn't trust him, and that wasn't something he would stand for.

"Hey, Remus?" Sirius said, head tilted back, facing Remus.

"Yes?" The boy mumbled, obviously immersed in another bloody book. It seemed to Sirius that Remus lived in books and studying. Sirius wished Remus would get his nose out of those books and pay attention to other things... like Sirius. It seemed to him that Remus used books to escape whatever pain and distress he was experiencing, and, as clever as that was, Sirius knew that Remus shouldn't get used to escaping pain. He would know. Sirius came from an extremely abusive, yet rich, home. While his brother Regulus was prized above all, Sirius was treated as dirt. His family didn't exactly approve of his "blood-traitor" ways. Which Sirius thought was completely bollocks. Just because his family was disgustingly narrow-minded didn't mean he had to be. He snapped out of his inner rant and answered Remus with another question.

"Do you ever stop reading?"

Remus then did that adorably shy smile that made Sirius feel giddy, and went back to his reading. Yes, Sirius Black, also known by the female population of Hogwarts as Sirius "-ly sexy" Black, was in love with Remus Lupin, endearing genius. Of course, Sirius could never tell anyone about this. While Remus was his world, but he doubted the feeling would be returned. To Remus, Sirius was probably just another bloody friend. Sirius tried to cover up his infatuation with Remus by dating all of the girls at school, but they didn't mean anything to him.

He continued to fool around with his friends, but now with a small but determined goal; to find out what was bothering Remus.
