Author's note: I feel really bad because I really like Tonks but what can one do? Please review guys, it means a lot! :)
Sirius knew something was bugging Remus, even if he didn't say it out loud. He could see it in the way he stared into space for too long, the way his laugh died so quickly or he simply knew it because he didn't even have time for Edward anymore.
It kind of hurt. He knew it wasn't going to continue like this forever but he hoped it would be longest than this. And he couldn't understand where it went wrong. He sometimes wondered if he took teasing too far but Remus didn't seem to mind.
He was acting like a freak. He wanted Remus to text him first like he was his boyfriend (or even a friend for that matter), he wanted Remus to enjoy their chats as much as he did.
Sirius sighed deeply. Edward thing was making it worse. He knew he should quit it because it was freaky, it was making him frustrated and he didn't like to lie to Isco as they were friends now, and he sometimes had to lie about things because he didn't want to be the exact same with Edward.
He finally put on his headphones and ignored the hasty glances he received from people around him. He tried to focus on his assignment on some bacteria only existed in Africa and did a good job of it for twenty minutes beforeā¦
Remus hopped on the sofa right next to Sirius and threw his head back. Sirius stared at his throat, his perfect beard (How the hell Remus had this beard when he hardly grow any at all?) and his chest which showed through his v-neck t-shirt.
He felt a twitch in his pants when Remus stretched himself and his stomach showed a little. Sirius wanted to blame not wanking off for too long but it wouldn't make a difference if he did only ten minutes ago.
Remus frowned at his troubled expression when he was done with messing with Sirius' hormones (not really done, but still). "Is everything fine?" he said sincerely concerned.
Sirius felt his lips turning into a small smile. "Yeah, just bored." he said convincingly.
"Good. I thought you were distracted lately."
You're the one talking, Sirius thought but didn't say it out loud. "No, I'm fine. Don't even worry. But you can still murder some of the professors for me."
Remus grinned. "What do I get in return?"
Sirius grinned back and shrugged. "Don't we have the same classes anyway?"
Remus leaned closer to him and whispered. "I'll do it only if you're with me."
Sirius was blushing furiously at their close positions, his hand trembling and knees shaking. Remus frowned when he noticed Sirius' reaction. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Sirius shook his head quickly. "I'm fine. Just got too excited by the idea you know."
Remus raised his eyebrows unconvinced but didn't pursue the topic. "You want to hang out later?"
Sirius smiled and nodded. He didn't even care what they were going to do.
They sat together in the last class and Remus kept putting his head on Sirius' shoulder. He didn't sit still for minute and it was irritating, and Sirius wasn't going to take it. "Stop moving." he hissed slapping Remus' knee.
"I can't." Remus whisper shouted in his face. Sirius rolled his eyes and sent him a silencing look. Remus started to bit his nails but it only kept him busy for a little while as Sirius got annoyed by it too and grabbed his hand and didn't let it go until he was completely still.
"Remus, you're going to stop right now."
Remus wanted to smirk at his friend's annoyed expression. "Or what?" he challenged him just to be a dick.
Sirius closed his eyes and muttered something under his breath and Remus could bet on his life that it was about Isco being fucking annoying.
He didn't know why but he liked to bother Sirius. Maybe it was because he got bothered easily but still put up with him.
Sirius went on ignoring him, so he pouted to catch his attention. Sirius was determinately listening the professor and Remus needed him to pay attention to him.
So he bit him.
"What the fuck?" Sirius shouted at the sudden pain. His face was shocked and he was rubbing his arm. The professor was giving a dirty look to them. "Language, Mr. Black. This is not a place you can curse or act like you own."
Sirius nodded and said a quick sorry and turned to Remus. "What the fuck is wrong with you today?" he said while he slapped the back of Remus' head.
"I need your attention." Isco whined while he sulked his lips.
Sirius rolled his eyes at his child-like behaviours but his eyes softened. "You can have all of my attention once the class is over, okay?"
Remus grinned at his reassurance and nodded eagerly. He didn't missed the weird smile on Sirius' lips though.
"So, you little asshole. Why is my attention so important to you all of a sudden?"
Remus shrugged and didn't answer him. The energy he had twenty minutes ago was long gone and now all those depressing thoughts came back to him. He didn't even realize that Sirius was freaking out right beside him.
Sirius grabbed his arm and turned him. "I didn't mean it Isco. You're not really an asshole."
Remus frowned because he didn't understand what he was referring to but then he remembered that Sirius called him that a few moments ago. He smirked at his friend and bumped their shoulders. "I know it shit face. Would you think I would be offended by it?"
Sirius shrugged, not looking at him in the eye. "I don't know. You were so cheerful one moment, then you were sulking. I can't know what to think all the time." he said with a desperate tone.
Remus sighed. "I'm fucked. Literally."
"Tell me." Sirius said, slightly worried that it might turn out to be a really big problem.
Remus cracked his knuckles nervously. "Promise not to tell it to anyone? Even if you are hella drunk?"
Sirius nodded seriously, not trying to crack a joke or lighten the mood.
"Tonks is pregnant." Remus said with a hand on his eyes like if he didn't look around, it would be less true.
"Shit."
"Yeah, exactly. Shit. What am I supposed to do?"
Sirius didn't know what to say. He would think he'd be jealous, but he only wanted to wrap Remus with a blanket and feed him. "I don't know man. It's not like I know her or I have any experience."
Remus sighed again like he expected him to say something like this and Sirius felt his chest tighten because he didn't like him seeing helpless, vulnerable and confused and that he couldn't do anything to help.
He didn't think of himself, he didn't take it personally like he would usually do. Because this wasn't about him at all, this was about Remus and he knew he would support him until Remus didn't want him to.
"But I can cheer you up!" Sirius nearly yelled.
Remus smiled a little at him. "And how exactly you're going to do that?"
Sirius laughed a little and grabbed his wrists. "Let's go to your house because my mom is crashing at my house right now and I don't think she would want to witness what we are going to do."
Well, it wasn't technically a lie.
They ended up watching Arsenal game after they watched some stupid TV show about teenage girls and Siriys was right. Sirius' mother didn't need to hear all those curses, threats or simply boys being boys.
Sirius was right about another thing too. He really cheered Remus up. Remus was now a mess, laughing his ass off at Sirius' girly shrieks. He didn't even know why he didn't tell Sirius about this sooner, and then he would stop being such a whiny fucker a long time ago.
They were having their third beers when the doorbell rang. Remus got up, slightly dizzy and opened the door with a lazy smile. His smile froze on the spot when he saw Tonks standing in front of her door comfortably like it was perfectly normal.
He didn't say anything and just stared at her. He didn't even have power to hate her at that moment.
"Who's that, Remus?" Sirius called out from the living room. Tonks raised her eyebrows sardonically as she recognized the voice. She got passed by him, making him lose his balance for a moment. He followed her to the living room and bit his lips nervously as Sirius and Tonks eyed each other with unpleasant emotions.
"Ah, Sirius." Tonks said mockingly. Remus didn't know why she talked like she knew him very well but he certainly didn't like the way Sirius tensed when she smiled her dangerous smile like she had evil plans circling in her mind.
"Get out of my house." he said suddenly and stood between Sirius and her.
Tonks rolled her eyes. "Is this how you treat the mother of your child Remus?" she tsked flipping her hair and smiling innocently. Innocent my ass.
"Cut the crap for fucks sake." he laughed humorlessly.
"I need money."
"Then go find a work like everyone else in this world. It's how it works." he said while walking towards Sirius. He sat down next to Sirius, a little too close for Tonks' eyes but she didn't pay attention to it.
"Fuck off. You know I'm already studying and working at the same time Remus. I need money for the child." she insisted. Remus was staring at something on the wall without seeing it and Sirius worried that his eyes might dry if he didn't blink soon.
But then Remus stood up and went into his room. When he came back five minutes later, he had the money he saved to buy himself a new laptop. "Get the fuck out. This is all you're getting for a long time, so make the best out of it."
