Sirius was sulking. Remus hadn't returned from where ever he had gone with Snape that afternoon. Remus could be dead for all he knew, and yet James wouldn't allow him to go anywhere.

He felt James's eyes on the back of his neck.

"Stop looking at me like that James. I'm not wrong and you know it. There is something wrong with Moony." Sirius stood and began to pace.

"There is nothing wrong with Remus, Sirius. You are just overreacting. Now come over here and help me plan a new way to woo Lily." James said tiredly. Sirius was wearing on his nerves.

"No! How can you think about your pathetic love life when our friend is out there all alone with Snape of all people!?" Sirius yelled. The Common Room grew quiet, and James dragged Sirius upstairs.

"Are you insane Black?" James hissed.

"You are." Sirius pried free of James's grip and crossed his arms across his chest. He quickly dropped the stance when he realized in was reminiscent of Snape.

"Remus was right the other night Sirius. We've got to let him be. If he's in love, and he says he is, then who are we to judge?" James tried, for once in his life, to be the voice of reason.

"You can't seriously believe all that prattle James. Snape obviously has him under some sort of spell. Or potion. Remus is smarter than that. He would have never fallen for someone so repulsive. You know Moony as well as I do. He'd never go for Snivelleus." Sirius ranted on.

"You don't know that." James said, stopping to think. "Actually, they are quite suited to one another now that I stop to think about it." He concluded.

"James Potter! Have you gone completely barmy?" Sirius demanded of the boy in front of him.

"Sirius, stop this. Can't you see? They're in love. You should be happy for Remus. He'd be happy for you." James said.

Sirius rolled his eyes and turned to face the dorm window. Walking across the grass he saw to figures holding hands. He glared down at them. "Love. It's a waste of time. Snape can't love anyway. He's not even human."

James ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. Sirius didn't know when to give up. "Don't do anything stupid Sirius. Let them be alright?" James pleaded.

Sirius turned at the desperation in his friend's voice. "Nothing stupid. Of course James." He replied without really meaning it. What he was going to do wasn't stupid anyway.

Remus took Severus's hand and swung it in the air as they walked slowly back to Hogwarts.

"It's been a great day." He said. Severus made a noise of agreement before falling silent again. "You had fun then?"

"I suppose I did." Severus's lips quirked in a mockery of a smile.

"You didn't. I'm sorry. I should have known you wouldn't have any fun-" Remus began.

"Nonsense Remus. I enjoyed myself. The company however-" Severus jumped quickly out of the way of Remus's punch.

"I hate you." Remus joked.

"I thought you said you loved me. Wanted to get married and have my children if I remember correctly." Severus said dryly.

"Well that was before I realized you were such a prick." Remus smiled at his companion.

"Such language." Severus admonished.

"Foul mouth. Dirty mind. What can I say in my defense?" Remus shrugged.

Severus sighed softly and looked up at the castle that loomed in front of them. The lights twinkled like stars. Home. Severus smiled, and he was suddenly filled with the desire to do something. He swung around in front of his werewolf.

"Remus. I wouldn't mind too terribly if they were your kids." He said with all seriousness. Then he leaned in. Remus smiled and closed the gap between them.

The kiss was brief, and when they pulled back Remus had a goofy smile on his face. "I've been waiting for you to do that for a long time."

"Oh really?" Severus arched an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Remus kissed him again.

"I'm inclined to disagree with you Lupin." Severus whispered.

"About what exactly?" Remus asked still slightly dazed.

"I don't think your mouth is foul at all."

Remus chuckled as they continued along to the castle completely unaware of Sirius's eyes watching from the window above.

A/N: yay. Love. Super. Thank you to the….three of you who reviewed last chapter. You're all very sweet.
