(A.N. I thought making Sirius a Veela was so obvious for this pairing. So often i see that remus doesnt want Sirius to be with him because he -read remus- is a monster. So make Siri a monster too. Problem solved.)

Sirius held the warm body to his. the shaking boy in his arms was finally calming.

"I am so sorry Padfoot" Remus John Lupin sniffled. "I don't deserve a best mate like you" Sirius held back the wince at the word 'mate'.

"technically James is my best friend" he cant say mate.

"you wanker" Remus hits the pureblood softly in the chest.

"Remmy?"he asked with a slow voice

"what?" the boys snaps.

"watcha know on Veelas?"

"not much" the werewolf admitted "I never had the internal drive to study them, why?"

"o-oh uhm..." Sirius thought quickly. "I heard a student mention it in passing. I was wondering what it is. and seeing as you spend your whole life surrounded by books..." he smirks.

"id rather be surrounded by knowledgeable things than others that are not so much" Remus replies.

"I am too smart!" the raven haired boy insists.

"I am sure, Pad" the wolf smirks.

"I am! so what do you know about Veelas?" He changes the topic.

"well I know they are creatures that mate for life. and that they are very sexual creatures. and that they are super protective. and that when you threaten them or their mate they turn into a bird type thing." he gestures with his hand that is was general information.

"ah.. and uhm.. are veelas mates pre-picked or can they chose?" Sirius keeps a light tone.

"I don't know! I thinks its either destined or its who they ... mate with that is strong enough to keep their power in check." Remus shrugs. "why not ask a Veela yourself"

"haha you're not that boring when you are tired" The raven-haired boy comments.

"I know. I am so spent, Pads" Remus yawns, adding to the effect.

"stay here" Sirius yips at Remus as his friend makes a move to get off the bed.

"Pads I-"

"please, Moony. moons, oh please. its okay. James and Peter wont ask. it will be fine." Sirius begs.

"Pads, I don't think so. not after..."

"we used to sleep in the same bed all the time. we all know you think of me as a friend" Sirius couldn't get himself to say mate just yet "so they wont assume the wrong thing. we were talking and you were too tired. and being the gallant wizard I am I offered my bed for you"

"haha funny Siri" the smaller boy frowns. "I just"

"if we agree that's its only friends what does it matter what someone could think" Sirius snaps.

"I just.. Don't want it to be awkward and uncom-"

"please Remmy? I don't want to be alone. I feel cold" this removed all of Remus's doubts. A few months ago when it was getting close to winter Sirius got very sick. demanding the werewolf join him. Remus slept with the dog-animagus many nights. werewolves produced more heat than Humans. which must have been why Sirius asked for him, Remus had concluded.

ever since then about every month Sirius gets a, as the two called it 'cold wave' and get very very cold and lethargic. Remus would lay and hold the sick boy until he felt better which was every night for a week. the week before his transformation, coincidently.

"fine. a bit early though, don't you think?" Remus smiled.

"sure, Moons" Padfoot happily curled against his friend.

Sirius watched as James got yelled at my Lily. he walked over to his other friends after a few minutes.

"she didn't hit me" he says positively. he digs into his breakfast. "how are you Moony?" he asks the bookworm.

Sirius focuses on the boy. Sirius's birthday, really being the week before Christmas, was very crazy this year. Sirius had come into his inheritance this year, being a veela. it was common in his family. a veela is a blood that is still considered pure and something to be proud of. Narcissa, his dear cousin, was also a Veela. coming into her inheritance much earlier than Sirius.

as he laid in the infirmary all he knew was he wanted his Remus there at his side. he just knew that the Honey colored haired boy could make the cold leave and the pain decrease. and it did. Veela's went through as the Medi-witches had called it, a heat. where they need their mate and will secrete phermones to pull his mate in, had they not met and had sex.

Sirius knew when this was coming. as did Remus now. well all Remus knew was that Sirius got cold because of his 'illness' near Christmas. he didn't know that he felt cold because every part of him yearned to fully bond with his mate.

"-foot" James's voice pulls at Sirius's mind.

"huh, oh sorry. yeah?" He asks his friend.

"I asked what you got planned for today? its Saturday" James recaps.

"oh, I don't know. probably hang out with Remus" Sirius shrugs.

"I-im actually spending the day studying with a friend" the small voice ellicts a growl.

"who?" Sirius snarls.

"d-does it matter?" Remus challenges.

"yes!" Sirius yips.

"why?" James butts in.

"I-I er I worry bout ya Moons" He covers up. damn, to close.

"if you wanna study I bet that Ravenclaw would offer" Peter nods to a girl attempting to make eye-contact with the Black.

"no thanks." Sirius coughs. if his phermones were acting early he might be in trouble.

"mhhh" James says pondering something. Sirius knows he will have to speak with him later. there was more important things to attend to.

"who are you studying with? if its nothing you can tell me" Sirius reasons.

"if its nothing you don't need to know" and with that his mate gathered his bag and left him with a whimper falling out of his throat.

To say that Sirius was fuming was a vast understatement. It was dinner and he hands seen Remus. He had also went into the library (gasp) in search of his mate. Nope, no 'studying' honey haired boy there. Common room? Nope. Dorm? Nope.

Everywhere he checked there was no Remus.

"Quit pacing. You're gonna wear a line into the carpet" James comments on his best mates behavior.

"I am worried" he tells James.

"I gathered" he chuckled. Sirius glared.

They went to dinner. Still no Remus. Sirius was about to flip shit. The Veela could feel the itching on his back as his wings threatened to escape.

"I know" James whispered on the trek back to the common room.

"Beg pardon?" the enraged Veela asks.

"I know what you are. A Veela. I know Moony is your mate too" the boy says. Sirius's head whips to look at his best friend at the mention of his mate's name.

"How did you find out?" Padfoot asks.

"I know everything. And I had to do a study on Veela's in place of a detention because of practice. And it mentioned the Blacks being a very proud carrier of the dominate Veela gene. And the spell, heh spell, in December confirmed the beliefs." James answers simply.

"Oh Merlin, please don't tell Moony, Prongs" Sirius begs as they enter the common room.

"Don't tell moony what?" the soft voice of Sirius mate rings in his ears. His head whips, yet again, this time to settle on the small frame of his mate.

"Remus?" He asks. James left to talk to Peter, or Lily, not that it mattered.

"Miss me?" he jokes seeming in an awkward mood.

"Who were you with?" the hiss escapes Sirius's mouth before he can even think. The smell of another male on his mate is overwhelming. Its so dominate. An older male. An eighth year?

"D-does it matter?" Remus asks. His cloak is off. He is in a simple button front shirt and slightly too long brown pants.

"Yes!" Sirius was glad they were alone in the room. James and him had left dinner very early.

"Why does it matter so much? I can have my own private life!"

"No you cant!" the older male snarls. Remus backs up as if afraid. The Veela in Sirius seethes you cheated on your Mate and then you have the balls to defy him. You should back up.

"Siri!" the Nick name pulling Sirius's heart.

"Remmy, who were you with?" he sighs.

"The DADA teacher. Learning about Veela's after you asked I got curious. I spoke with Cissa, your cousin. Her and Lucius Malfoy are mates.." Remus admits.

"Are you serious?" the Veela asks.

"Aren't you?" Remus counters.

"Uhm... I hope so" Sirius smirks.

"I-I I am sorry for snapping at you." Remus says softly. The other boy looks confused. "I am going to stop by the library and drop off these books" he holds up two fairly big books. one titled veela and their mates. And the other was how to characterize a Veela. Sirius felt slightly queasy at the idea that Remus might know. He was waiting for the right time damnit!

"Okay" Sirius nods. "Can I come with you?"

"Are you asking? Usually you just come" Remus says.

"Yeah" the other nods.

"I guess"
