"Come on Remus! What are you waiting for?"

Remus stood in his swimming trunks shivering by the edge of the lake. He took just one look at the rippling surface of the water and gulped. It was alright for them – Sirius, James and Peter had just run straight into the water, shouting and splashing – but Remus knew that he would never be able to bring himself to get into the lake. He still had yet to tell them exactly the reason why he wouldn't get in the lake; he knew they would laugh at him.

"Erm…" Remus mumbled, "I'm not feeling too good… I think I might…" Remus trailed off.

Sirius looked over to where Remus was standing with slight concern in his eyes. As he walked through the water to get to his boyfriend, the water sloshed around him in mini waves. Remus couldn't help but smile at the sight of Sirius' half naked torso dripping with water. When Sirius got to the water's edge, he held out a hand for Remus to take. He hesitated slightly which didn't go unnoticed by Sirius.

Pausing for a moment, Sirius looked up at Remus and grinned evilly.

"Whatever you are about to do Sirius, don't you dare do it!" Remus said, sternly.

Before Remus could stop him, Sirius quickly grabbed Remus and hauled him over his shoulder.

"OI!" Remus shouted, waving his legs and arms about in an attempt to get free. "GET OFF OF ME RIGHT NOW!"

There was a note a panic appearing in Remus' voice. "Please Sirius, let me go!"

Remus kicked his legs again – hard – and hit Sirius right in the stomach. Forgetting that he was holding Remus, Sirius let go and clutched his stomach with a loud groan. Remus fell into the water with a loud splash and quickly stood up shaking, then ran back up to the castle before anyone could stop him.

"What was all that about?" asked a very confused James.

Sirius stood up straight wincing. "I don't know."

He looked up in the direction of the castle where Remus was running too, dripping wet. He walked out of the lake and grabbed a towel.

"I should probably follow him and apologise," he said, looking guilty.

Sirius started to walk up to the castle, drying his hair off with the towel. He was worried about Remus. Why did he get so upset when he tried to put him in the lake? Deciding that he would try and get the answer out of him, Sirius walked up to the dormitory where he knew Remus would be getting into dry clothes.

When Sirius slowly opened the door of the dormitory, Remus wasn't getting dressed as he suspected but he was in fact sitting on his bed curled up in a foetal position. As Sirius opened the door, Remus looked up and then roughly wiped away the few tears that were on his cheeks. Sirius walked over to Remus' bed and sat down on it next to Remus and put his arm around him. Remus was the one to break the silence.

"I'm sorry I kicked you in the stomach."

"It's alright," Sirius said, smiling slightly. "I probably shouldn't have tried to get you in the water. I should have guessed that you were scared of water."

"What makes you think that?" Remus asked nervously.

"The fact that you refused to go in and were kicking and screaming at me when I tried to make you?" Sirius laughed.

Remus smiled weakly and put his head on his knees. "You probably think I'm such a wimp being afraid of water."

"Of course I don't. I'm just curious as to why you do."

"Promise you won't laugh?" Remus asked.

"I promise."

"Well, when I was younger, Mother used to take me to this Muggle swimming pool. I used to absolutely love it. But one day when we went, Mother left me on my own for a little bit. I was just happily swimming about when these older boys came over to me. At first it was just playful teasing but then they started to push and pull me about." Remus took a short breath. "Then one of them grabbed my legs and pulled me straight under. I was petrified and I was splashing about unable to breathe. Naturally my accidental magic kicked in and I managed to get out of there alive but I've been scared of going in water ever since."

"Remus…" Sirius said and kissed him on the forehead. "It's alright; I won't try and get you in the water again."

"Thanks." Remus smiled and snuggled further into Sirius' arms.

"Well then, I guess we're going to have to find something better to do if we're not going to be swimming," Sirius said, smirking before kissing Remus' neck.

And now we end it! I don't think I could ever imagine what would happen if I wrote smut *giggles immaturely*

This is my first of 160 prompts! I probably won't have regular updates... I'll just update whenever I feel like it! Which won't be very often... but if you reviewed and favourited I would probably update quicker knowing that I actually have a few people interested in my nonsense which I called a story. *hint hint*

Hope you liked it :) Goodbye for now!
