Eyes darting across the pages of his book, Remus sat tucked up in his bed. Sirius had joined him and a sleeping Peter, he had told Remus that he'd left Lily with James down stairs before curling up on the next bed, facing Remus. And it wasn't long until his breathing grew slow and deep as he settled into sleep. Carefully, Remus put his book down and pulled the blanket over Sirius' sleeping form. A smile played with the corners of his mouth as he looked down on him. He shook himself and turned back to the book.

Later, James made his way to his own bed, smiling when he realised Remus was still awake. Not only was he still awake, but he was still staring at the same word he had been for the past fifteen minutes, stopping only to look up as James came in. He'd been thinking over his conversation with Lily in the library. Of course, she'd made him talk about his feelings and blah blah blah. He really did appreciate how much Lily cared about the way he felt, but being forced to talk about it wasn't really helping the getting over it situation, and when Lily forced the idea of Sirius possibly feeling the same way onto him, he nearly grabbed the biggest book to hand and hit her with it. 'Just think about' Remus mimicked her in his head, 'now I can't help but think about thanks to her, not that it has even the smallest chance of being true.'

Remus placed his book to one side and lay on his back, sighing as he did so. Sirius stirred next to him and moved his arm, brushing his hand across Remus' arm and bringing it to rest between their two pillows. Remus amused himself thinking that if he hasn't just moved, Sirius would have stroked his thigh. Then, as if he could read Remus' thoughts, he brought his leg up, resting it next to Remus' knee, 'ah come on!' he thought to himself. He thought about moving over slightly when a small part of his mind spoke up, the part of his mind that wanted him to stare back at Sirius when he caught him staring in class, and the part that usually wanted Remus to indulge in such fancies. Normally, these thoughts would be banished without a doubt, but now, when it spoke up, when no one would know what he had done, he let his body listen to this part of his mind. Doing so, he moved slightly, onto his side so he was now face to face with him, their knees still touching, and brought his hand up next to Sirius'. A mischievous smile spread across his face at his accomplishment, now when Sirius awoke, he would be face to face with Remus.

While he lay there, Remus continued to think of all the reasons Sirius would never love him back. 'For one thing, I'm a werewolf. Why would he ever want to be with someone like me? Two: he could have anyone, ANYONE! Why would he pick me? Three: I'm more trouble than I'm worth. Four: he would probably be disgusted my all my scars. Five: I'm a bookworm and he would easily get bored with me because of the amount of time I spend reading. Six: I lied to him for two years. Seven: he's far more interested in having flings with girls than anything serious (although, it has been three years since his last "girlfriend"). Eight: it would just make his family hate him more. Nine: he knows he's far to good looking for someone like me...' Remus continued like this for as long as he could, making points that he knew weren't necessarily true, but points he desperately needed to make to save himself from going insane. Around twelve Sirius moved closer to him again, and again, Remus reciprocated, the pair now inches part. Remus could smell Sirius' shampoo mingled with aftershave, he knew that the last few inches could not be filled, or the others would get suspicious, not to mention what Sirius would think. But, around seventeen Remus feel asleep.

Shocked filled Sirius as he woke early the next morning. He and Remus had moved in their sleep and now he had Remus' hand onto of his own, their legs where entangled and their faces inches apart. A part of Sirius erupted with pleasure, but then he saw Remus start to stir and made it look like he had his eyes still closed but was really watching his every move. Remus' eyes fluttered open, he looked at their closeness, he moved his hand a little check where it was and did the same with his legs, he smiled at the "sleeping" Sirius and closed his eyes again. 'What the hell? He didn't want to move? What?' Sirius was incredibly stunned but, not unhappy about what happened.

A little while after he drifted off to sleep again, James was standing at the foot of the bed. But that wasn't the end of it, Lily was with him. The pair stood, arms folded, smirking at the pair, both of whom were awoke by Lily's not-too-subtle clearing of her throat. The same thought ran through both Remus and Sirius' heads, 'oh shit'.

Quickly they untangled themselves and it was only then Remus became self conscious of the fact Lily was stood watching while he happened to be shirtless... as did Sirius... The overall image was slowly becoming worse and worse. First they found them incredibly close. Then they realised (from all the effort it took to get away from each other) they had their legs over one-another. Now it had been revealed they were shirtless. And Lily knew both of them were head-over-heals for each other. For a moment, Lily and James had both hoped they had gotten together in the night, but no such look, it was merely the cause of sleeping so close to someone else (she shuddered, remembering when she found James and Peter in a intimate embrace one morning).

Remus and Sirius made little eye contact all morning. Both incredibly embarrassed at being found like that. They worked together in silence, not daring to be the first to speak. That was until lunch. Lily marched up to them with James in tow.

"Outside now!" she commanded, shoving them towards the oak front doors, instead of the Hall where they had been heading.

"But I want my fo-" Sirius began but Lily just continued shoving and told them James had toast and would reward them for being good boys. They marched them to the shade of the tree by the lake. The four of them sat.

"Okay, you've earned half a slice. James," James handed them one slice, leaving Remus to rip it. He failed miserably in ripping it, making one side a lot bigger than the other. He gave the bigger slice to Sirius.

"Right. Now then, you've got to talk. Sort this out. No more awkward avoiding eye contact. Speak, make up," -she had to stop herself from adding 'make out' to this list or earn black looks from the pair of them- "be friends again, go back to normal life," then she added in a whisper so only James could heard, "go back to secretly loving each other forever without letting anyone know.." James started to laugh, Sirius stared curiously at the pair of them, but Remus had gone white. Remus had heard what she said. Was she joking? She had better have been joking. Remus started to panic a little. He needed to get Lily away from them, he knew he would have to talk first if he were to get his wish.

"Okay, Sirius, this morning was kind of awkward, and sorry for molesting you in my sleep, I'll try to contain myself next time," Remus spoke fast, taking Sirius off guard at first but earning a laugh at the end.

"And I am sorry for letting you, I have learned my mistake, letting a werewolf molest you is a mistake you make only once," Sirius added with a wink, the pair started laughing again and James rewarded them with the promised toast.
