THWAK!
Sirius fell to the floor with a muffled cry of pain. He glared daggers at his attacker.
"SHAME OF MY FLESH!" Mrs. Black screeched and punched her son in the face.
Sirius was propelled backwards several inches and struggled against the full body bind his mother had put him in.
Mrs. Black tossed her hair with livid fury, her eyes burning like the fires of hell, "UNGRATEFUL BRAT!" she brought her foot down on her first born, sneering triumphantly when several something in his midsection cracked and he gave a shriek of pain.
Sirius spat out blood and tried to bite back a moan.
"LEARN YOU LESSON!" Mrs. Black thundered as she aimed another kick at her son and then stormed away.
The hex disappeared and Sirius slumped to the ground with a cry of pain.
"…Sirius?" Came a tentative whisper.
Sirius peaked out from under his blood stained hair to see a younger, shallow version of his mother creep out. "Regulus."
Regulus squatted next to his brother and wiped a trickle of blood from Sirius's mouth. "Are…are you ok?"
Sirius sneered and shoved the hand away, "No I'm bloody not! I've had it!" His blue grey eyes were like steal, "I'm leaving. Now."
Regulus nodded, "I thought so…I…um…packed for you." He coughed. "Do you need help?"
Sirius shook his head and shoved himself into sitting position, "No…thanks…could you get my stuff though?"
"Yea…" The dark haired teen disappeared for a bit and then reappeared and handed his brother a grape sized trunk. "I shrunk it so you could carry it easier."
"Thanks." Sirius clawed up the wall into a standing position and stuffed the trunk into his pocket. "Bye, Regulus…"
"Good bye…" Regulus said sadly.
Sirius spun on one heel and vanished with a loud crack.
-Elsewhere-
Remus was enjoying the sun and a good book in his backyard when a crack echoed loudly through the still silence.
"W-what!" Remus yelped, jumping violently and whipping his head from side to side. "Who's there!"
"Me, Rem…" Came a tired voice.
Remus wiped around and froze. The book in slipped from his fingers and landed on the grass with a muffled thud, "Oh…Sirius…" the werewolf whispered.
Sirius smiled painfully, "Hey…"
The black haired seventh year had cuts, bruises, and blood all over his face and torso. He hunched painfully and held his mid section gingerly, a thin trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "So…I left home."
Remus made a noise in the back of his throat and hurried to his ailing friend's side, supporting his weight without touching his midsection. "What…what happened to you?" Remus moaned, guiding Sirius to the grass and pushing him lightly onto his back.
Sirius lay down and got comfortable, "Well…she found out something."
Remus raised an eyebrow and focused on fixing the worst of his friends wounds, "What?"
"A secret." Sirius teased, wincing as his flesh knit back together and sealed.
Remus gently ran his fingers over the man's midsection; two…no three broken ribs. "What secret?"
Sirius shifted and yelped as his ribs pierced him, "Ah…nothing…ngh…important…" he panted, his eyes sparkling playfully.
The werewolf raised an eyebrow but focused back on healing. With a well placed word and a complicated wave of his wand the ribs snapped back into place and healed themselves.
"Thanks, Moony." Sirius smiled.
"What secret?" Remus pushed.
"You know it! THE secret! The one we will NEVER tell Prongs and company!" Sirius huffed, annoyed that his boyfriend had forgotten.
"THAT!" Remus all but shrieked. "Padfoot! They kicked you out because you're GAY!"
"Yeah, pretty much." Sirius grinned.
Remus made the noise again. "So you got kicked out and abandoned because of ME?"
Sirius jerked his head around, "Merlin no, Moony! I said I left, remember? You're just another thing that I've done to 'filthy this family' or whatever." He snorted and shook his hair out of his eyes.
Remus knew that was true, but he still felt shreds of guilt, "Where will you stay?" He suddenly jumped up, "No! You can stay with me!"
"I—what?" Sirius sputtered. "Erm, Remus…do your parents even know about…um…everything?"
Remus smiled gently, "They don't judge, Sirius. Besides, ever since I told them what you did for me—even if it was illegal—they always felt grateful."
Sirius blushed and pushed himself to his feet, "Well Mister Moony, let's go ask."
Remus rolled his eyes, "No, I'm going to ask. You're going to stay right here and let me talk. Wait until I come back, ok?"
Sirius nodded and then smirked, "Mooooonyyyy…"
"What?" Remus asked, turning around.
Sirius caught him around the waist and pulled him close. He smiled with gentle warmth and pressed his lips to Remus's.
Remus moaned into the kiss, opening his mouth and tasting his boyfriend. He tasted amazing, but there was a violent ting to the taste; blood. He kissed with more urgency, determined to wash away all of his lover's pain.
Sirius groaned, he loved it when Remus got dominant—something that almost never happened. "R-Rem…"
Remus fisted the back of Sirius's shirt, pressing against him with need and passion. "Mmmmhhhh…"
They finally broke away from lack of oxygen. They smiled at each other, panting softly, until Remus kissed his lover on the nose, "I'll be right back."
Sirius smiled as his boyfriend raced away, all the confusion and unhappiness from previous events cleansed from his mind. He fell back on the grass and contentedly watched the clouds.
Not long after the seventh year had spotted two turtles and a dove in the sky and something that looked suspiciously like a blast-ended-skewt, the back door to the little white house opened and Remus ran back.
Sirius stood up and embraced him, "Welcome back…"
Remus hugged him tightly, "You can stay, come on. My parents want to meet the infamous Sirius Black."
Mr. Infamous laughed and held his lover's hand as they walked back, they both couldn't help but think that their life together was perfect.
