Chapter Four
Remus woke up before Sirius the next morning. As he became aware of what was happening he noticed that Sirius had his arms wrapped around Remus's waist. Remus was going to go put on clothes and brush his hair and teeth but didn't want to wake Sirius. Remus tried unclasping Sirius's hands but they wouldn't budge. Remus tried to shimmy out of Sirius's grasp but Sirius would just grab Remus's waist and nuzzle his face into Remus's chest. Eventually Remus just sighed and gave up. He sat there with Sirius clinging to him until the young Black heir woke up.
Slowly Sirius's eyes opened.
"G'mornin beautiful. What time is it?" Sirius said groggily. Remus checked the alarm clock beside Sirius's bed.
"It is 8:27 according to the clock beside your bed." Remus answered.
"And um, what day is it?" Sirius asked.
"Sunday." Remus answered. Remus found Sirius's confused and unkempt appearance adorable.
"Remus, you smell like chocolate." Sirius said burying his face in Remus's chest and inhaling deeply. This action tickled Remus and he gave in and smiled. It was a true genuine smile and it felt slightly awkward on Remus's face. Remus hadn't smiled in a very long time because he really didn't have much to smile about. It was a slightly crooked smile but it was a happy one.
"Sirius, if you're quite done smelling me I would very much like to get up now." Remus said. Sirius detached his face from Remus's chest and released him.
Half an hour later Sirius walked down to the common room and began searching for Remus. Remus was sitting in a quiet and shadowy corner chewing a bar of chocolate.
"Remus, whatcha doing?" Sirius said bouncing over to him.
"Reading." Remus answered waving his book in the air for Sirius to see.
Remus thought to himself that he had found one very bouncy boyfriend.
Sirius came over and flopped down on Remus's lap. Sirius took the book from Remus's hand and after folding the page of the corner he was reading, closed it and put it on the table Remus was sitting next to.
Then Sirius turned to Remus. Remus was watching Sirius curiously still munching on his chocolate. Sirius leaned in and bit off a piece of chocolate from the bar Remus was eating.
They were staring at each other intensely both eating chocolate when Lilly Evens showed up.
"You guys said I could speak with you tomorrow and its tomorrow so I would like a word." She said.
"God Evens! You just had to ruin the mood didn't you?" Sirius said getting off Remus's lap and glaring at her. Remus grabbed his book and then got up and followed Lilly who led them to an unused classroom.
Severus was waiting for them inside.
"So you two are seriously dating then." Lilly said.
"Yes." Remus answered simply. He sat down in one of the chairs and put his book down on the desk.
"Why, Remus?" Severus asked.
"Because I love him Severus." Remus answered.
"But why him?" Severus asked.
"One cannot control whom their love falls upon. Such is life." Remus answered thoughtfully. Severus sat down in one of the seats across the room from where Remus was sitting. Lilly stood near him. Sirius was leaning against the closed door with his arms crossed being uncommonly quiet.
"But one does have the choice whether they act upon the love or not." Lilly cut in.
"Honestly, if I had a choice to love Sirius or someone else I would choose Sirius ever time because deep down he is a genuinely nice guy.
I'm glad I acted upon my love Lilly because Sirius has made me happy. I smiled this morning and it was a real smile unlike I have ever done since I was a small child. Sirius completes me and if you would rather not hand around me anymore I will respect that. I think that if you just gave him a chance you would see the person I have come to know and love." Remus said standing and walking out of the room. Sirius followed him still quiet and still with his arms crossed.
Remus stopped before they got very far, took Sirius's hand and pulled him into one of the unused classrooms. There are always a plethora of unused classrooms near a class's common room. Remus pulled Sirius inside and shut the door behind him.
"Sirius, you are being unusually quiet. What's up?" Remus asked. Sirius crossed his arms and stood in the room with his head down. Sirius's shaggy hair covered his face quite effectively. Remus walked up to the shorter boy and grabbed his shoulder with his left hand. With Remus's right hand he fried to lift Sirius's chin but Sirius just pulled away. Sirius walked over to another part of the room. Remus walked up and put his arm around Sirius waist and pulled the shorter boy to him. Sirius tried to push Remus away but did it halfheartedly so Remus just held on tighter. He parted Sirius's long hair like a curtain and put his hand on Sirius's cheek. Remus turned Sirius's face upwards only to reveal tears streaming down his cheeks.
"What is it?" Remus asked concerned.
"Remus, I think we should take a break." Sirius said. Remus let go of Sirius and backed away from him.
"Sirius, I don't understand." Remus said.
"Both of our friends disapprove of our relationship. I think we should take a break and assess the situation." Sirius said, his hands curling to fists at his sides.
"I don't care what anyone thinks of our relationship. I love you Sirius." Remus pleaded.
"Just for a little while Remus." Sirius said, his knuckles turning white.
Remus fell to the floor with an empty look on his face.
"Remus, I love you. I truly love you but I think we just need a little time." Sirius said tears streaming down his face. Sirius wanted to comfort Remus but didn't trust himself. Sirius left the room leaving Remus on the floor.
About three hours later Remus walked into the Gryffindor common room with a blank expression. Sirius was the only one to notice Remus come in and watched him earnestly. Remus walked up to his room and shut the door. The next week of school Sirius had mended his relationship with the other two marauders. Remus did all his work diligently but didn't say a word to anyone. When he was called on to answer a question in class he would stare at the teacher with a blank expression until they called on someone else. Lilly and Severus tried to talk to him but he just stared at them like they were aliens. Remus wasn't eating and everyone could tell he wasn't getting enough sleep either. Sirius was getting worried about him. He decided to talk to Lilly and Severus about it to see if they could help. He was also going to speak to Frank and Arthur to ask about Remus's sleeping habits.
"How has Remus been sleeping at night?" Sirius asked Frank and Arthur one night in the common room.
"He doesn't sleep much and when he does he wakes up screaming."
They informed him.
Next he was going to speak to Lilly and Severus.
"Lilly, can I talk to you in private?" Sirius asked the next night.
"What do you want Black?" Lilly said coldly.
"It's about Remus." Sirius said swallowing his pride for the sake of the man he loved. Sighing dramatically Lilly agreed and she, Severus and Sirius went to one of the many unused classrooms.
"Remus isn't well." Sirius began.
"So you noticed." Lilly said snidely.
"Lilly, I only want what's best for him. I broke up with him and then he went into this comatose state he's in now. He doesn't eat. He rarely sleeps and when he does he wakes up screaming. He doesn't speak.
He's sick and I need your help to fix him." Sirius said.
"He's not broken. He loved you and you ripped out his heart." Lilly said glaring at Sirius.
"Can you help me or not?" Sirius said losing patience.
"I think this is a conversation you should be having with Remus." Lilly said. Then she and Severus left.
