Sirius Orion Black was brave. He was from a family that had shunned him from the moment he chose to paint his walls gold and red when he was five, yet he still had the courage to wake up in the morning, knowing that someone would try to put him down.
But his life had become much harder when he went to Hogwarts. Here he had friends, three wonderful boys who were all so much better than his family. Three boys who had trusted him with their darkest secrets, their wildest fantasies. Three wonderful boys, one of who was, in Sirius' eyes, more than just wonderful.
That was where the troubles lay. Telling his family would only result in more scorn, but if he told his friends… that might result in losing the only thing he held close.
He stared at the dingy bathroom mirror. The handsome, dark-haired womanizer stared back. How could he do this? He had a reputation for being the lady's man, for having pulled more giggling girls into the broom closets than any other youth in the whole school, even though he was only fifth year. This… this would end all that for good.
Ever since he had come to the castle, his black hair, piercing grey eyes and carefree attitude had attracted girls. Hot girls, ugly girls, young girls and old girls alike had flocked to the new heartbreaker. They believed that because he was handsome, because he was a funny guy, he would love girls. Moony always laughed at his crowds, knowing he himself would never be surrounded by ladies.
Until that week when a kiss from a 'girlfriend' brought no more joy. The flirting felt empty, the so-called love flimsy. But the girls kept coming. Their passions kept flowing. But Remus always enjoyed his love games with the ladies he supposedly loved. They made Remus laugh. So Sirius continued to kiss, to tell them that he would always love one of them. And so they believed he would always love a girl.
That was when Sirius Black realised how wrong they were.
It was harder than people made it out to be, Sirius pondered. He had been that close to telling James, when Remus had run in. The sight of the werewolf, hair tousled and tie loosened, had struck a chord in Sirius. He hadn't even realised he was staring until James broke the awkward silence with the ever-basic cough.
Then Sirius looked away, back at James, who gave him a questioning glance before turning to Remus. He said something about McGonagall finding Peter in a cheese-induced coma, but all Sirius heard was heavenly whisperings, and all he felt was a tingling in his stomach.
After Remus left again, presumably to visit Peter in the hospital wing, he fell back to reality with a thud, though he still retained the beautiful floating feeling.
That was when Sirius Black realised he loved Remus Lupin.
A/N: Yay! I have always seen these two together, and so I finally figured out an idea on how to get them to figure it out. Don't worry, I will pressure one of them until they realise that they do belong with one another.
Please Please Please Review guys!
