AN: This is terrible, I know - I'm sorry. It's just what I'm working on whilst trying to shift the writer's block so I can carry on with Why Are They All Staring?


Remus and Sirius

Help! – The Beatles

I'm alone. They finally disinherited me. I don't know what to do, who to turn to. True, James' family took me in, made me their second son.

But it's not enough, not really. I need someone who can understand.

I need you. Because you know only too well that life isn't fair.

I know I've always said that I never needed anyone. But it's all lies. I need you.

I need your help.

Learning to Fall – Boys Like Girls

I don't understand what I'm feeling. Not at all. But it's wonderful, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

And then you make that wonderful revelation, and I think maybe, just maybe…

But then, before I pluck up the courage to tell you, it's summer. And my love for you only grows.

Then I see you again, and you've changed. You're taller, your muscles have filled out. You're bloody gorgeous.

But you've got a boyfriend now.

It should have been me. But it's not. So I'm learning to fall. Alone.

I'm So Tired – The Beatles

It's been twelve years since Remus last saw Sirius. And he misses him.

He shouldn't because he's a killer, because he's the spy. But he does.

And it's killing him. He can't sleep, he can't do anything. He's as much imprisoned by Sirius' crime as Sirius is.

It's driving him insane.

Fifteen – Taylor Swift

I was terrified when I started. Friends were a foreign concept to me, and I was advised to try and stay separate. And I was okay with that, because I had my books, and the chance to an education that I never thought I'd get.

But I was wrong. I did need friends. And it was worth going against what everyone told me.

But as the years passed, our affection grew. It got bigger and bigger, until it couldn't be passed off as friendship anymore.

You told me you loved me. And I believed you. I really thought you were the one.

But you weren't. I should have seen it coming. What could I possibly offer you? What could I offer you?

But it's okay. I forgive you. Because although you broke me, you made me the person I am today.

And I don't regret it for a moment.

At fifteen you make mistakes. You fall in and out of love. And that's what makes you who you are.

If You See Kay – The Script

Sirius bounds the down the corridor and flings himself at Remus. The boys tumble to the floor, limbs entangled, faces inches apart. And everything falls into place for Sirius. Finally he understands.

The question he meant to ask his lupine friend fades from his mind.

Remus stares up at his friend. It could be everything he wished it to, so easily, but it can't not ever. Because he is a werewolf. And Sirius is a Black.

But Sirius leans towards him, bridging the final few inches. Remus pulls back.

"We can't Sirius. Not ever."

Sirius pulls himself off Remus, and laughs shakily, trying to cover up the hurt.

In a flash, his question returns to him, and he sees the opportunity to hurt Remus like he hurt him. "If you see Kay, will you tell her that I love her?"
