Once upon a time...

There lived a handsome, loyal, charming -slightly cocky- Prince. His name was Prince Sirius Orian Black, and he was, without a doubt, the wizarding world's most eligible bachelor. To say that he was handsome was really an understatement, actually. The prince was really quite gorgeous.

Prince Sirius looked just like the rest of the Royal Family, but somehow different. He was tall and well built, but elegant looking in a way. He was pale without looking at all sickly. He had shining black hair that went down past his shoulders, perfectly straight and usually tied back in a braid, yet he somehow managed to make it look masculine. And his eyes...they were perfect. Somehow, gray eyes looked more like molten silver on the face of Prince Sirius Black. However, when compared to the rest of his family, Sirius stuck out. The royal family was known for their harshness and cold heartedness. But when one looked at Sirius, it was plain to see that he was not at all like his family.

And none knew this more than a certain servant in the kingdom. A stable boy, actually, by the name of Remus Lupin.

Some years back, Remus did not quite remember how long ago precisely for he had lost track some time ago, Remus' parents had passed away. He was left to live with his uncle, a horrible man who had never loved Remus or his parents at all, though he had been Remus' father's brother. Even worse, he hated Remus beyond all things because of his...secret.

And so, Remus' uncle sold him to a slave ship owner, Lucius Malfoy. And to make a long, long, LONG story short, The royal family bought him afterwards. He would later find out that they had only done so because Sirius had demanded it be done.

Now Remus lived and worked at the stables in the palace. And he actually rather enjoyed it. He liked the horses, and it was quiet there. And..well... Everyday there was a chance to speak with him.

It wasn't long after Remus arrived at the palace, that he actually met the prince. Prince Sirius owned most of the horses after all (His favorite being a tall, slightly clumsy, yet sweet gray crossbreed named Romeo) so he frequently visited the stable. Sometimes more than once a day.

It was the same routine each day. Early in the morning, once the sun was up, Remus began to work. he fed the horses and swept the barn, then made sure they all had water and hay. Then at around 8 am, just after breakfast, there he would come...And it was always the same;

A quick flash of a smile. "Good Morning Remus.''

"...Good Morning Your Highness.'' A slight bow of his head, respectfully.

"Is Romeo tacked up for me?"

"Yes, sir. Of course.''

Another smile...oh please smile again... ''Thank you Remus.'' And then the Prince would go off to Romeo's stall, through the bridal on and leave to go for a ride, and Remus would go back to his chores.

It didn't take long for Remus to fall in love with the Prince. But he knew it could never be...Him being what he was and all...

As Prince Sirius got older, he began to see things differently from his family. He didn't agree with the laws and regulations they placed on certain parts of the kingdom, or the way they treated those who were ''below'' them. And above all, he didn't agree with the idea of being Betrothed to that awful Scarlette Delamorte, the snobbish french maiden his parents had selected for his bride.

And So one day, the morning routine went a little Differently...

Prince Sirius fled the castle in a furious rage. It was his 19th birthday and so his parents, the king and queen, were pushing him to start considering marrying Scarlette.

Sirius of course flat out refused once more, and fled for the stables. He liked it there. it was quiet. And he rather liked the company of the horses...and Remus. Remus was nice as well.

Yes, he did rather enjoy speaking with Remus. Even if it was never more than a few casual words. He liked a lot of things about the boy. The way his light tawny hair fell gracefully into his eyes, which were pure gold to his own silver ones, His small thin frame and pale skin of his cheeks that always seemed to have a tinge of pink when he spoke with the prince...The way his body moved as he swept the barn...

Ah Yes...Sirius did enjoy that quite a lot.

But anyway...

He had run hastily to the barn for some quiet time to himself.

Remus was quite shocked from the sudden appearance of the Prince.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. I didn't...I wasn't aware that you...forgive me, I shall--"

"It's quite alright Remus. How were you to know I'd be coming? Besides, I'm not here to ride.'' He smiled a rather comforting smile that made Remus blush.

"Forgive me," Remus said again, giving a small bow. "But then why are you here?"

The Prince shrugged. "It's quiet here. I can think here.''

Remus nodded. "I shall leave you alone then.''

"No, no you don't have to. In fact I'd rather enjoy the company...that is if you do not mind hearing me ramble on about my despicable family.''

"I...I don't mind at all, Sir.''

The Prince smiled one of appreciation and began to tell of all the things he hated about his family. He talked for hours. And Remus listened.

And that's how it was from then on, for a long time. Prince Sirius would come in and talk for hours and hours and Remus would listen quietly and patiently as he swept the barn. Remus was a wonderful listener. He never interrupted or gave unwanted advice. In fact he hardly said anything unless Sirius asked for his opinion.

"I'm at a loss, Remus. I don't know what I should do. People have expectations of me, I suppose. But I do not love-- No, I don't even tolerate the blasted woman! What do you think?"

"I know not, You're highness, I--"

"Sirius." The Prince interrupted. "I...I should like very much for you to call me Sirius. If that pleases you, Remus.''

"I...It does.'' Remus looked down at the broom he had in his hands. "Sirius.''

And it went on like that, still for a long time...And then one day Sirius stopped, mid-rant and turned to the quiet stable boy who was cleaning a saddle, and said;

"Remus. May I kiss you?"

Remus had been so surprised by the question that he dropped the saddle and the dirty rag he hand been holding and then fumbled to pick it up. Sirius went and bent over to help him and when they stood they were only a hair's length apart.

Sirius licked his lips. "May I Kiss you?" he asked again, but this time without waiting for an answer, he pressed his lips to the other boy's.

Remus once again dropped the saddle and rag...but this time he did not pick them up.
