Remus couldn't sleep.

And what, you may ask, is the reason behind this?

Guess.

Sirius Black.

Remus' head was filled with the husky voice of his that he had used today. That was all he could hear, echoing in his head. God, when Sirius started saying those words in that voice, did he have no idea of the effect it was having on Remus? He hadn't been scared like Sirius had hoped or planned. He had just been turned on. Very turned on. Oh, and not to mention worried. Yes, very worried. Sirius was supposed to be straight, after all.

And then when he asked Sirius whether he was serious about what he had said, he had just replied with his usual useless answer I'm always Sirius!

And that confused Remus. Yes, the great very-hard-to-confuse Remus Lupin, was utterly befuddled. Remus was not happy being confused. Not happy at all.

Why didn't Sirius give him a proper answer?

And with all these thoughts and echoes and images swirling around his head, Remus Lupin simply could not get to sleep.

--

Sirius woke up with a start. Someone (AhemCoughJamesCough) was poking at his shoulder. He didn't bother opening his eyes and batted the hand away while yawning. He was so tired. He had only slept for like two hours last night.

The reason: Remus would not get out of his head! No matter how many times he told him to go away! But did he listen? No! Of course not!

Suddenly something heavy landed on his chest.

"Arghh! I'm up! I'm up!" he groaned. Sirius opened his eyes groggily and blinked up at the messy haired boy on top of him. "What do you want? It's Sunday!"

"Actually Sirius, it's Monday. And you missed breakfast."

"WHAT!?" Sirius was now wide awake. "How could you let me miss breakfast?! I'm going to starve! And die! You know breakfast is the most important meal of the day!"

"I came to wake you up so you'd at least be on time for Transfiguration. I figured you didn't want another detention with McGonagall." James said, nodding his head wisely.

"Yes, James, speaking of detentions-" Sirius began, glaring at James.

"Oh yeah Remus, I'm just coming! Got to go Sirius! Remus is calling! Bye!"

And with that James leapt off Sirius and practically flew out the door.

Sirius huffed irritably and looked at the clock. "Shit!"

He rolled over, fell out of bed, scrambled up and ran to the bathroom. He only had FIVE minutes to get ready. He wouldn't even have time to brush his hair! (Oh, his poor hair.)

Sirius sprinted all the way to the Transfiguration classroom and groaned when he realised the class was already inside. He pushed open the door quietly and crept in.

"Black! Now that you have finally graced the class with your presence, sit down and see me after class." McGonagall ordered sternly. Why did the fucking door have to creak? Oh, how he hated Mondays.

"Yes professor." he sighed. One more long detention with McGonagall, coming right up! Great.

He sat down next to Remus and took out all his writing equipment and began to write up ways of torturing Snape. Oh, and some were for McGoogles too.

Remus looked at him, alarmed. " Sirius... are you... writing notes?!"

You see, Sirius doesn't even take out a quill during class, so this was quite worrying.

"No! Oh my god Rem! I have better things to do than write notes! I'm not that boring!"

Remus stared him for a few seconds, his expression unreadable. "So you think I'm boring?" he asked softly.

Why can't you keep your humungous gob shut Sirius!? Gah! Stupid, stupid, stupid boy!

"No! Of course not!" Sirius protested.

"But you basically just said people who write notes are boring. I write notes, in case you hadn't noticed." Remus pointed out.

"No you aren't boring! You're not... you're... different. Yeah, you're just different."

"How am I different?"

Well, you are the only note- taker I know who looks absolutely adorable when note-taking. I don't take notes because: 1: I can't be bothered and 2: then I can watch you.

Sirius stayed silent for a while and just bit his lip. What was he going to say?

"Erm... I don't know...? You're an interesting note taker?" Great, that would really convince Rem, wouldn't it? For some reason his voice was extremely high pitched.

Why do you have to make me so damn flustered Moony!? Why-O-Why?

Remus smiled sadly at him. "I know I don't really participate in pranks and stuff but I didn't think you minded. I didn't think you thought I was boring."

Sirius looked down at the parchment he was writing on and sighed. "Rem you're taking it the wrong way! You come up with the best pranks ever. They're hilairious, even the bloody victim laughs! And when you don't, you keep us out of trouble! I don't think you are boring, I promise you!" Sirius said with a hint of desperation.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm...okay then..." he smiled slightly at Sirius and went back to writing his notes, albeit slightly hesistantly.

--

"Great, another detention with McGoogles. Yay. Go me. It's all your fault, you know. You didn't even bother waking me up!"

"Aww... is poor ickle Siri going to cry?" James teased. He slung his arm around Sirius' shoulders. The pair of trouble makers were walking to divination, while Peter went to care of magical creatures and Remus went to Arithmancy.

"Obviously!" He mocked sobbed into his hands. "I have never felt so heartbroken in my life! Shame on you James! Shame on you!"

James rolled his eyes and laughed.

"James...I need your help." Sirius said seriously (for once), looking up from his hands.

"With what?"

"Remus." James was the only one who knew about Sirius' infatuaction with Remus.

"Ah. What do you need help with?"

"James! It's getting even worse!" he whined suddenly, "I simply cannot stop thinking about him. I only got two hours of sleep last night because of him! I think I'm in love with him." Sirius' eyes widened suddenly the revelation. "Oh my God James... I'm in love! With Remus! Help me! Help me!"

James stared...and stared... and stared some more. "Seriously?! You, Sirius Black, are in love? I mean, I knew you fancied him but this...?"

Sirius nodded miserably.

"Wow..." James

"So, what am I going to do? He'll never go out with me" Sirius asked desperately.

"I have an idea... You'll find out what it is soon...Don't worry, all will be fine, I promise." his eyes glinted with determination.

Sirius finally relaxed, knowing James would help him win Remus over, without messing up. Well, actually, since this was James, there would definetly be a possibility of messing up. Horribly. But Sirius didn't care. No matter how messed up James' harebrained schemes were, they always turned out okay in the end. Apart from when it came to Lily of course.

"Thank you James." Sirius said sincerely. Boy, was he glad he had a friend like James.

"No problem Pads." James smiled.

"So... what do you think we should do in divination today?" Sirius asked, suddenly feeling extra mischievous (He always did have the weirdest mood swings...)

"Well... I was thinking crystal balls, bright green hair, the Grim and broomsticks."

"Awesome! Er, why do we need broomsticks by the way?"

"So we can escape without getting hurt." James grinned.

A/N: I know this was boring, but this is just a filler. The action starts in the next few chapters! Please review! It'll make me update much faster! Thank you! xxx
