A/N: Here's chapter four! It's a bit weird. I'm not sure I like it as much as the others. It's not very exciting, kind of just the pre-great coming out. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day Pt 1

Remus woke up on Tuesday feeling nervous and excited. Today was the day he was coming out to his whole school. He was extremely nervous about that. But Sirius was coming out too and best yet, they were coming out as a couple. He was very excited about that. It hadn't even been a week and Remus was still getting used to the idea that Sirius Black liked him. As in, the way Remus had liked him for Merlin knows how long. He was also going to get to see Sirius' reaction to his present. And get the present Sirius had bought for him.

He was extremely excited by this thought and jumped out of bed calling loudly, 'Get up, get up, it's valentine's day!' without looking at the time first. 6:03. Breakfast didn't start 'till 8. Oops.

James mumbled something and Remus said, 'Go back to sleep, James.'

And he did.

Remus was glad no one else had woken up at his proclamation of morning and lay back down on his bed.

He decided to take one last look at the gift he'd bought for Sirius and make sure it was perfect.

He pulled the box out from under his bed and lifted the lid.

It was perfect for Sirius. James certainly did know what he would like. It was a small black leather-bound journal. It looked ordinary, but it was charmed. Its pages were blank but would give the owner ideas. For example, if Sirius had run out of insults he just had to tap it with his wand and ask it for insults and it would fill the book with them. If he asked for ideas for gifts, it would give him hundreds. Only problem was, it didn't like specifics. It would give you insults, but it would not give you insults for slimy Slytherins. You could also write in it, like a journal, and only the person with the password would be able to open it.

Remus hoped he would use it like a journal, but was pretty sure the lists it came up with would be more frequently used by Hogwarts' resident gay dog animagus. Or was he bi? Remus would have to find out. He certainly had had a lot of girlfriends.

In the box there was also a stuffed penguin. Remus had seen it and thought it was cute. It was charmed so it does whatever Sirius wants it to. Knowing Sirius, Remus thought there was soon to be a weird penguin rampage on the Slytherins. He thought about this for a while. Can there be a penguin rampage with only one penguin?

He didn't know how long he'd sat there thinking but he soon heard Sirius stir. He stuffed the journal and penguin back in their box just in time; Sirius' head appeared round his curtains just as he was putting it under his bed.

Sirius looked at James' and Peter's beds and, deciding they were still asleep, indicated for Remus to come over.

Remus obliged.

'Happy valentine's day, Moony.'

'Happy valentine's day, Padfoot.' Remus replied and kissed Sirius softly. 'What time is it?'

Sirius rolled onto his back to check the clock behind him. 'About 7:30.'

'The others are going to be up soon.'

'So?'

'Well don't you think they'd notice we're in the same bed?'

'You worry too much, Moony. Besides, we're telling them today.'

Remus looked thoughtful for a moment. 'Yeah. About that, I've decided I don't want people hating me.'

'What? You daft werewolf. No one's going to hate you and if they do I'll curse them. Problem solved. And if they hate you they're probably going to hate me too and so we'll just both be hated together.'

'Was that supposed to comfort me?'

'Yes. Weren't you comforted?'

'No! I don't want people hating you either!'

'Seriously, Moony, how could anyone hate me?'

'What, but they could hate me?' Remus' tone was cold.

'No! What? I think we need to start this morning again.'

'So do I. Good morning Padfoot, happy valentine's day.'

'Happy valentine's day, Moony.'

Remus still looked a little upset.

'Do you want me to kiss it better?'

Remus smiled. Sirius kissed. Remus kissed back.

They suddenly heard a noise from James' bed. They heard footsteps and the bathroom door closing.

Remus quickly pecked Sirius on the lips and made his way back to his own bed, where he sat on the edge, trying to think of what he could do that would make him look inconspicuous. He thought of reading. He couldn't see his book.

'Hey, Padfoot?'

'Yes, Moony?'

'Do you know where my book is?'

Sirius' wicked smile was enough answer for him.

'You took my book?'

He made his way to Sirius' bed for the second time that morning smiling.

'I didn't say that.'

'Where is it?'

Sirius just grinned at him.

'Fine. Don't tell me.' Remus' hand slipped under the covers and Sirius' eyes went wide.

Remus started tickling.

Sirius attempted to break free and in the process, somehow dragged Remus on to the bed with him and began tickling back.

James walked in to see his two best friends in the same bed laughing hysterically, none of their hands visible under the blankets.

'Morning guys.'

'Happy valentine's day, Prongs!' They both yelled, then burst out laughing.

'You know,' Remus whispered in Sirius' ear, 'This is exactly the situation we were trying to avoid this morning.'

Sirius began laughing again and said, quite loudly. 'You're right! That's hilarious!'

Remus looked at him, amused, and said, 'It's not that funny. More ironic than funny.'

Sirius quieted down and they both realised James was still there staring.

'What's up, Prongsie?' Sirius said, attempting to sit up without knocking Remus on to the floor.

'What are you doing?' James said, sounding incredulous.

'He stole my book!' Remus screamed, suddenly remembering.

'Oh,' said James, looking mildly relieved, 'Alright then. Carry on.'

Remus and Sirius, however, decided they'd had enough tickling for now and got out of bed to get ready for their big coming out.

'We don't have to do this if you don't want.' Sirius said quietly, but James could still hear.

'No, we're doing this.' Remus' tone was final.

'Doing what?' enquired James curiously.

'Nothing,' they said together. They seemed to be doing that a lot lately.

James just looked at them weird but went back to trying to decide what outfit Lily would like most.

Remus couldn't help feeling nervous as they headed out through the common room to the Great Hall, where everyone was having breakfast and, though unknowingly, awaiting their grand coming out.

A/N: Did you like it? The journal is kind of random, so is the penguin. I couldn't think of anything else. Please review, let me know what you think of it. And try and guess what Sirius' present to Remus is. Or just make something up, I might use it instead of what I'm thinking of. Thanks for reading!
