Remus's eyes fluttered open, and panned across the room-the infirmary, was it? He must have had a bad transformation... He lay in bed for a few moments, surveying the empty hospital. He knew from the monthly visits here that Madam Pomfrey would be here soon to check on him.
Then, it all hit him.
Sirius. Sirius knew.
His momentarily peaceful awakening was shattered like a mirror being thrown to the ground as he recalled the events of last night in a panic. Sirius...blood. Was Sirius hurt?
Was I hu- His thoughts were cut short as his eyes slid over to his abdomen. He suddenly became aware of the unbearable pain shooting up an down his body. He examined his chest more carefully... it looked like a few broken ribs and a new scar, but nothing too serious. His head shot up as he heard someone enter.
Shit, he thought. It was Sirius. He seemed a bit beaten up himself, with a large cut running down from his neck to his chest... Remus snapped out of it. He forced his eyes away from Sirius's broad chest and back up to his eyes. He felt like Sirius was staring into his soul. Sirius slowly walked over and casually sat down next to Remus, with a very worried look on his face.
"Siriu-" Remus began, but Sirius shushed him.
"Rest, please, Remus. You...you got pretty beat up."
"Well, I suppose I could say the same for you." He said weakly.
There was a silence between the two. Then Remus couldn't help but ask.
"Do you hate me now?" He asked shakily.
Before Remus had any time to mentally reprimand himself for being so outspoken, he was interrupted as Sirius pulled him into a long and warm hug. He then let Remus lie down on the bed again, and stared at him for a long while. He looked...nervous.
"Uhm, Remus?" He said nervously.
"Yes?"
"I just...nevermind. I'll, uh, see you later, OK?"
Remus sighed. "OK. I'll be out of here in a few hours, then we can...talk." Sirius nodded, then rested a hand on Remus's forehead. Remus eventually fell asleep. Sirius felt tears pour down his face as he rushed back to the common room. Why hadn't he told Remus how he felt? Why was he such a bloody coward? He rushed into the Marauders room and fell onto his bed, letting out a huge exhale. Breathe, He thought to himself. Just breathe.
