Authors Note: Hello! Thank you to everyone that reviewed 3. And also, special thanks to Melissa (dramioneforinfinity) for putting up with my constant rambling and telling me to keep going. Go check out her fanfic, it's a SYOT (submit your own tribute), and it's about the Hunger Games. Linky: .net/s/7655753/1/One_Chance
Btw: the title is from the song Forever Yours by Alex Day. He is an unsigned artist, who's song is currently in the top five on the UK charts. Go buy the song if you like it; the money goes to charity.
So here's the second chapter:
When Remus and Sirius had successfully dragged a very drunk Peter to his bed, the game of Truth or Dare was renewed again. This time, Sirius pulled Remus into his own bed. Blushing, and trying to conceal his "problem", Remus tried to get into a position where Sirius wouldn't notice. Ending up with Sirius's arms wrapped around his stomach, Remus flushed an even deeper red as Sirius's lips nuzzled the back of his neck as he spoke.
"So, I get to go," Sirius said, hoping that Moony had forgotten his previous question. It seemed like he had, and Remus grinned. He had a great idea for whatever Sirius would choose.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth," Sirius said, clearly not learning from his past mistakes. Remus pondered for a moment, but quickly came up with a question.
"Who's the most attractive person in this school, to you anyway?"
"Uh…what do you mean by attractive?" Sirius asked, stalling. Of course, his answer would be Remus. The way his tongue slipped out of those pale pink lips whenever he was concentrating on something, and the way he smiled when Sirius had made a particularly funny joke, and the way his hands gripped his quill when he was writing, and the way that he sucked on his spoon when he was eating…he had to stop before his thoughts turned borderline pornographic. Shifting so that his legs were now clamped together against Remus's back, Sirius made sure that Moony didn't notice the hardness.
"Well, I mean physically attractive. Like, Brice Hummel, you know him, the one in Ravenclaw? He's got that wavy red hair, and his eyes are blue-green, and he's got that smile that makes you think you're the only person in the w-are you okay?" Remus trailed off, wondering why Sirius was now slack-jawed and staring at him.
"What did you just say?" Sirius asked, his eyes wide. Had he misheard Remus? Did he just describe…a guy? A boy, as being attractive? Did that mean Remus was gay? Did that mean…Sirius might have a chance?
"I just described Blaine Hummel as my standards of being attractive…oh fuck, you're homophobic, aren't you? You can't stand the fact that I'm gay, can't you? Oh no, no, no, no, no," Remus babbled, on the edge of hysteria. Trying to dislodge Sirius's arms from around his waist, he pushed himself off of the bed. Tears streaming and dripping onto his clothes, Remus tried unsuccessfully to get Sirius to let go of him. How could this happen? This was his worst nightmare, the one scenario that he'd wished would never happen. It had hurt when his parents had kicked him out of the house, and it had hurt when they'd told him they never wanted to see his face again, but Sirius…this was a whole new type of heartbreak.
"No! No, Moony, calm down, it's alright, it's alright, Remus, no, it's okay, I'm not homophobic, just surprised, come on, look at me," Sirius cried, grabbing Remus by the wrists to try and get him to stop trying to shake Sirius off. Rubbing his back, Sirius tried to get Remus to calm down, to stop crying. The boy's sobs eventually subsided, and he buried his face in Sirius's shirt, cheeks red from embarrassment.
"I'm sorry I freaked out," Remus said, voice slightly muffled through the fabric. He'd overreacted, and he was so embarrassed.
"It's alright," Sirius said with a deliriously happy smile. Remus was gay. He was gay. He didn't like girls, he liked boys. Sirius was a boy. He had a chance. Obvious facts rolled around in his head like a broken record, but unlike a broken record, Sirius had no urge to turn them off.
Remus wondered why Sirius looked so cheerful all of a sudden, but decided it was probably just Sirius being Sirius. It didn't help that when he smiled, his entire face lit up, like the lights during Christmas in the Great Hall, and when he talked, Remus could only fixate on his lips, and so many other little things that he loved about Sirius. He had it bad, Remus mused.
"Well, er, anyway, what's the answer to your truth?" Remus asked, trying to change his train of thought before he had to leap off the bed again and take a long, cold shower.
"It was who was the most attractive boy in this school, right?" Sirius stalled, trying to hold this off for as long as possible. He couldn't lie to those dark brown chocolate eyes, but he didn't exactly want Remus to know that he was hopelessly in love with him either.
"Yup."
"Er…well…uh…" Sirius trailed off, determinedly ignoring the red flush that was creeping up his neck. Remus was now looking at him curiously, and Sirius knew that he couldn't stall forever. Well, he had to tell Remus sometime, Sirius mused. Why not let it be now? After all, he couldn't just keep pretending. This was the perfect opportunity, and if Remus didn't feel the same way, then he was fucked and that was the end of it.
"Moony…the person I find most attractive in this school…is you."
Authors Note: Sorry it's short, but it's 10:45, and I was supposed to be asleep an hour ago. *eye roll* what my mother doesn't know won't hurt her. Plus I wanted to drag it out, just so I can have a really nice smut scene in the next chapter Please reviewreviewreviewreview!
