"Remus! Remus wait!" Sirius shouted. He transformed into a black dog and bounded after his friend who seemed to disappear in the shadows. His whole world seemed to be fading in front of his eyes.
The full moon hovered behind the clouds, waiting, desperately reaching out.
Remus could barely keep his eyes wide open, and his breath became heavy. He fell to his knees, not even aware of his own tears.
Sirius stopped a few feet away and transformed back into a human. He knelt down.
"I've been waiting so long for you Remus, please," Sirius pleaded.
Remus shook his head. He glanced up quickly and shivered in the cold wind, feeling the hard earth underneath his feet. He shook his head again. He could never wake from this madness.
Sirius' heart ached for his best friend.
"Come to me, Moony, I am here for you, please," Sirius said.
Time was irrelevant as they sat apart from each other, unable to close the gap. Sirius' heart and mind was open but Remus was did not want to see straight. He was blind and confused, and in a dark place.
Remus couldn't follow Sirius as he trips through darkness. The next morning he would not awake from this madness… unless he woke up right now.
His eyes were shining as he looked deeply into Sirius' eyes.
"Sirius," he said weakly.
In seconds they closed the gap between them and were engaged in a passionate kiss. It seemed not to last very long, and Sirius seemed to say follow me and allowed Remus to enjoy the part of himself that he had been denying.
They held each other for long seconds, both of their faces wet with tears.
Remus had awaken just in time. All of a sudden they broke apart and Remus howled in pain. His body transformed, but this time it was different. They had tripped through the darkness together and would awake tomorrow with new minds and new hearts.
