My friend Kelsey is forcing me to update. So thank you, Pookie. I am updating.
For those of you wondering where the Mpreg is, it is coming. Don't fret, lovelies. Thanks for your reviews. On with the fic of cuteness.
Time went on and the two grew more in love, and the Grand Ball the Queen was planning for her eldest son grew nearer.
The day before the ball was a full moon, but the Prince went to the stable early, before the moon rose to see his love.
"You'll attend the ball tomorrow night, wont you?" He asked, as they lay together in the vacant stall they used for such visits.
Remus, who was already beginning to feel the pull of the moon on his body and mind (It was giving him a headache as he fought the wolf inside him) shrugged and rested his head on the prince's bare chest. "If I feel up to it.''
"Of course. I wouldn't want you to push yourself into coming if you aren't well.''
"You should leave.''
"I'll stay a while longer.''
"No…it isn't safe for you to be here.'' Remus' stomach was doing sickening flipflops.
"The sun hasn't begun to set.''
"I don't want to hurt you.''
"You wont.'' Sirius insisted.
"You don't know that.'' But he tightened his arms around his prince.
"I wish there was some way to stay with you…to keep you from being hurt…"
"Don't waste your wishing on me, I'm not worth it.''
"You are though.''
"Sirius…''
"Yes?"
"Kiss me.''
Their lips met slowly and passionately and when it was over and Sirius pulled away, Remus shuddered. "Go. Please…leave.''
"Are you going to be alright?"
"I've gotten use to it. Go! And lock the stall.''
''Lock you in here?"
"Yes. Go.''
Sirius hesitated but did as Remus had told him to.
By the time he reached the castle the sun had gone down. He paused at the large oak doors and heard the ear piercing howl. Flinching, he opened the doors and went inside and to his rooms where James awaited him.
"I was going to look for you if you didn't show up soon.''
"Why?"
"The sun was setting and you were out in a barn with a werewolf.''
"You hardly need to worry about me James, I'm capable of taking care of both me and Remus.''
"Not on a full moon.''
"What are you, my mother?"
"If I was your mother, I'd be much, much older.''
"Yes, that is true…''
They were silent for a moment.
"How's Remus?"
"He made me lock him up…'' Sirius muttered miserably. "I cant stand the thought of it…''
"Lock him up?''
"In a stall. So he wouldn't get out and get hurt I guess…I'm so worried about him.''
"He'll be okay. He's been a werewolf since he was young. He knows how to take care of himself.''
"I know…But I do worry.''
"Of course you do. You love him.''
The Next Morning the kingdom was in a complete state of excitement for the ball to come that night. All the kingdom except the Prince for whom the ball was for.
As soon as the sun came up, Sirius grabbed his cloak and left his room. He had almost made it to the door when—
"Sirius.'' Drawled the voice of his younger brother.
"Regulus.'' Sirius frowned.
"Where are you off to so early in the morning? And on the day of your ball…''
"That is none of your concern, brother.''
"You're off to the stable again aren't you? Why do you waste all your time there?''
"It's better then this stuffy old castle. I like it there.''
"Mother and Father are concerned about you spending so much time there. They say it isn't right for the heir to the throne to spend all his time alone with only the horses for company.''
"It's not only horses.''
"What? You mean to say you go there for the company of that sickly, scrawny little stable boy…''
"He's a good friend.''
"James is your friend though…''
"Remus is different. And now I have to go.''
"It isn't right, Sirius.''
"Don't tell me what is right and what's not.'' Sirius huffed as he opened the large wooden doors and left the castle for the barn leaving a scowling Regulus behind.
When he got to the empty stall and opened it, he found Remus fast asleep, curled up in the fresh pile of hay they had laid down the night before for them to lie together on.
Sirius had brought an extra cloak with him this morning and knelt down next to Remus' sleeping form, draping the cloak over him. Remus opened one eye and smiled slightly "Siri…''
"Sh…rest.''
Remus closed his eyes again. "Don't leave.''
"I won't.''
"Siri….''
"Yes love?"
"I will come tonight….to the ball.''
Sirius smiled and kissed him. "If you feel up to it.''
But Remus was already asleep.
