Continuation of Backwards Desire, this is Post Hogwarts. I suggest reading Backwards Desire before starting this fanfic for the simple fact a lot of plot has been talked about in that one other than canon plot XD.
I had such a blast with Backwards Desire I figured I would continue on with this part. Though this one will be MUCH longer than Desire since its four years of material to cover...so be prepared for a long haul. And for now there will only be one chapter updates until I can get far enough ahead that it won't be so hard to write two chatpers a day. I hope thats cool with you guys! ENJOY!
It had been a month since graduation and Sirius had spent the whole month hunting for a new apartment, so Remus could come and live with him. The full moon was the boys only worry. And it wasn't very hard really to find a place in London that had a place to hide such a beast thanks to World War II, which at the time many flat buildings had created bomb shelters. The only problem was finding one that one could access and the no one else enter.
After running down flat after flat Sirius finally found one owned by wizards. And they had agreed to hand the bomb shelter over to him, but only at the agreement of a higher rent as well as if anything was destroyed Sirius would fix it. The deal had been sealed within an hour and Sirius was on his way to start moving.
"Ok Remus open your eyes" Sirius grinned as they stood in the doorway of their new flat.
"Sirius why on earth do you have to cover my eyes I know what your flat looks like remember"
"Do you now" Sirius chuckled as he walked the boy inside before shutting the door behind him. "I think you need to really smell your surroundings and really think about it.
"Why did you move" Remus asked "I thought you loved your flat" Remus raised an eyebrow Sirius' flat had been in central London, overlooking the city he loved. There was no way he'd give up such a beautiful flat.
"I love something more than the flat" he smiled kissing the back of Remus' neck "I gave it up so that you could move in with me"
"Sirius" Remus sighed. "I can't do that…I'm a werewolf I need a place to hide"
"And I found one" with that Sirius dropped his hands, and let Remus look around, "Welcome home Remus" he smiled. "Our first flat together" he grinned a wide grin.
"S-Sirius" Remus breathed looking around, the flat was a little smaller than his first flat, and it was easily much older. Maybe early forties. He looked around the flat, and chuckled. "It needs a lot of repairs"
"I've already talked to James about it, he's willing to help us" he smiled. "I've taken care of everything" Remus could feel the pressure on his shoulders.
"How many bedrooms does it have" he asked, it was a stupid question and the second it left his lips he saw the pain in Sirius' eyes.
"Well…I figured we only really needed one, but there are two. Though the second I figured I'd turn into an office unless…" he looked at his feet.
"I was only asking to ask" Remus smiled. "There is no way I'd sleep anywhere but your bed if I was moving in" he sighed.
"If" Sirius asked.
"It's a big commitment" Remus looked at him "Plus I doubt anyone would want a werewolf in their flat"
"Remus I said I took care of everything, wizards run this flat"
"OH that's fantastic Sirius!" Remus starred at him "Where exactly is this flat anyway since you didn't even let me know that"
"Its still in London, were five miles or so away from my old flat, were in a old district of London"
"I could tell by the flat, what is it early forties"
"It was rebuilt soon after the first Blitz" Sirius crossed his arms over his chest "if that helps with any of your issues." Sirius watched as the dots connected in Remus' head and he grinned.
"You're telling me you gave up your flat in the middle of London for a place that I might decline just so if I did accept I'd have a place to transform"
"Yes, I'd give anything up if you'd move in with me" he looked at Remus "Even if that means I have to go out into the middle of the woods and build a damn two room shack. I'd do it if that meant I got to wake up with you by my side"
Remus starred at Sirius like he had three heads, he blinked away the tears that formed in his eyes "Have you signed papers"
"I signed them a week ago; I had to beat the people who wanted it as well. If I hadn't had them on my tail I would have brought you here first"
"Why didn't you show me the day you signed the papers"
"Full moon was a day away." Sirius chuckled. "I wasn't going to show you our new home when you'd be in a pissy mood" he chuckled. "I wanted you feeling good when I brought you here"
"And James said he'd help us with the work"
"Money wise yes, I'd never ask James to help us with the rest, its simple stuff really, paint the walls updo a few things. Nothing to serious"
"And you promise there is a place I can transform"
"I can take you there now if you want" Sirius pulled a key off of the key ring beside the door "Its all mine, no one can enter it" Remus eyed him "It made rent a little more expensive but its well worth it, come on"
The two walked down to the bomb shelter which was down in the cellar of the complex. The walk down wasn't too bad and the shelter itself wasn't too bad.
"And I can make it sound proof come full moon, I thought of everything Remus" Sirius insisted for the third or so time. "Really I did"
"I can tell" Remus ran his hands over the cement walls "You made sure no silver was down here" he eyed Sirius "And do the owners know what will be down in this cellar"
"Yes and yes" he sighed. "Apparently the owner has a relative who was a werewolf, so they understood completely. Said I was quite the gentleman for making sure everything was perfect for my companion"
"Do they know that we are…?"
"No, I figured that small detail could be left out" Sirius leaned against the door frame. "Though it wouldn't surprise me if they'd figure it out." crossing his arms over his chest "Come on Remus…give it a whirl, if it doesn't work out I can still build that shack"
Remus laughed and walked over to Sirius pulling him in the room and shutting the door. "Promise me one thing"
"Anything"
"You'll always come get me after full moon"
"No matter what, I will come and get you" Sirius smiled eyes glittering. Remus would be living with him, his one dream was finally granted. Everything was falling into place.
"When does Auror training start" Remus asked as they were heading up to the flat.
"Next month" Sirius sighed. "Don't worry, everything will be ok"
"I know it will" Remus smiled "I was just asking." he took Sirius' hand "I love you"
"I love you too Remus" Sirius smiled and squeezed Remus' hand. This was the start of a very happy beginning
