Chapter Two

Sirius threw the door shut as he enters the room, an annoying habit that has started many late-night arguments between the dorm's occupants. He has his 'something didn't go the way I wanted it to' look on his face and quickly kicks his leg out hitting the door rather violently. Remus can see Sirius take in a deep shuttering breath before letting it out slowly. Sirius's head snaps up to look at Remus as if he just noticed the other boy was in the room. Remus locks eyes with Sirius and is abruptly made aware of every nerve in his body. It feels like hours, but is probably less than a minute, before Remus feels his brain kick start again and he swiftly breaks their staring match looking towards the opposite side of the room.

"Everything okay Padfoot?" Remus voice sounds breathy, even to his own ear and he prays Sirius doesn't notice. A sudden dip in his mattress and pressure on his legs causes Remus to look down. Sirius has flopped down face first on to the bed and appears to be trying to hide his face between Remus's knees. "Oh god, please don't move up any higher"Remus mentally begged bunching up more blanket over his groin as he sits up. "Ah Sirius I'm not sure if you are trying to suffocate yourself or what this is but…"

"Life sucks that's what this is Remus" Sirius cuts off Remus, digging his head farther between Remus's legs and letting out a massive groan. Remus can't help the small laugh that escapes his throat at Sirius's theatrics. "Don't laugh at me you asshole" Sirius's voice has taken on a whiny tone and is slightly muffled due to the fact he is still face down, "Life is completely unfair! I am with this girl who is FIT, like crazy hot! But am I happy? NNNNNNNOOOOOOO! And why you ask? Because life hates me and I think I should just give up on ever being happy!" Sirius finished dramatically lifting his arms up and dropping them down aggressively for emphasis, letting out a second monstrous groan. Remus blinks a few times utterly confused but quickly smiles. As strange as it may sound this is one of the things Remus loves about Sirius. He is always so open. Remus chuckles again before leaning over to whisper in Sirius's ear.

"…So you are trying to kill yourself?" Before Remus can even react, Sirius has shot up from between his legs. Sirius quickly pinned Remus down on the bed, easily restraining both of Remus's wrists behind his head and set about tickling his sides. Remus instantly finds himself in a fit of uncontrollable laughter and tries desperately to wiggle away from Sirius's hand.

"Here I am pouring my heart out to you, my beloved friend, and all you can do is mock me…Tsk tsk Lupin not very kind at all" Sirius taunts not letting up on the tickling.

"Ssst…stttooo….STOP IT" Remus pants still trying to get away from his friend's hand.

"Now, now Moony you know the rules, if you want me off just say it" Sirius, who is now laughing almost as hard as Remus, pants out.

"Siii…Sirius Black…iiiss…the beeeesssstttt prankster…in in the history…of great great pranksters" Remus manages to wheeze out, relieved when Sirius finely pulls his one hand away. Sirius however keeps his other hand in place, restraining Remus's two hands above his head and leans in close to his face.

"Aaaannnnnd" Sirius prompts.

Remus sighs taking a breath before spitting out the last part as hastily as possible "AndIRemusJohnLupinamforeverjustalowlyworminhisgardenofawesomeness!"

"Excellent!" Sirius releases Remus and sits up on top of him, clapping his hands together. Sirius is still breath slightly faster than normal but now has a wide smile stretching across his face. "He looks so sexy with his hair all messed up like that". Remus feels a blush over take his cheeks as he realizes that Sirius is straddling his lap. "You alright there Remy, you don't look like you're breathing?" Sirius's lips twitch slightly as if he is going to laugh, and it takes Remus a second before he can think straight again. Remus was trying to think of something to say in reply when the dormitory door banged up again, causing both boys the turn their heads. James enters the room, with Peter and Frank in tow. "I'm not sure if this was lucky or unlucky, but thank you James Potter!" James stops abruptly when he spots the two other occupants in the room, causing Peter to crash into him. Peter looks around quickly to try and figure out why James stopped so suddenly. When Pete spots Remus and Sirius a dumbfounded look appears on his face (but it's really not hard to make that happen to Pete). Frank simply steps around the other boys to his bed with a slight roll of his eyes and a tiny smile that he thinks will go unnoticed. A smirk quickly appears on James's face and his right eyebrow disappears into his shaggy hair.

"My apologies gentlemen, I was not aware of the impending coitus happening is here would you like us to leave?" James said with an incredibly straight face, shooting a pointed look at Sirius. Remus feels a new wave of heat over take his face "Actually forget the thank you! FUCK YOU POTTER! I greatly regret teaching you the word coitus now!"

"Yes actually! And Mr. Potter well you are being so polite how about doing me the modest favour of pissing yourself off the top of the astronomy tower?" Sirius smirked in return, rolling off Remus and hopping over to his own bed. James and Sirius exchang their 'bring it' looks and Remus just pulls the blankets up to cover his face in the hopes that they would all just forget his existence.

"Now Mr. Black I am happy to support my most respectable friends in any way possible as they begin this new found homosexual affiliation, but I must confess my disbelief that such an intellectual and profound individual like Mr. Lupin would partake in behavior such as fellatio, with a homo habilis-like creature such as yourself" James still kept a straight face but the right corner of his lip began to rise slightly into a smirk. "Seriously regretting teaching you these words!". Sirius glared at his best friend for a second then smiled and rolled on to his side facing away from James.

"Yeah well when his choice was between you or me, I guess it was pretty straight forward." Sirius mocked before both boys burst out laughing. Sirius and James continued to exchange insults and jokes, all greatly encouraged by Peter's manic laughter, before they decided to call it a night.

Remus never resurfaced from under his sheets that night.
