Sirius
We tramp into the common room, stamping snow into the red carpet. I run my hand through Remus' wet hair. He's shivering. The burning warmth of the fire isn't stopping his teeth from chattering, and he's liable to catch hypothermia in those wet robes.
"Time for a hot shower, methinks, Moony me old pal."
We run up to the dormitory where the early risers are beginning to stir, and Remus grabs his towel and dry clothes. I take a while longer to find my towel, and as I rummage through my stuff I realise what I have to do to get closer to the one I love.
The shower cubicles in Griffindor tower are simple, just two walls with a curtain running along the front. I throw my towel randomly onto the wooden bench and slip into the third cubicle from the right.
"Sirius, what the…"
I grin mischievously at Remus, standing naked under the spray of the shower. He really is beautiful. Grabbing his wrists, I pin him to the wall.
"People'll see, Sirius…"
I stop him talking, holding a finger to his lips.
"They won't, you know, Remus. I am a wizard, after all."
"I don't think…"
"Oh relax, Moony. I've seen you naked before."
"Yes, but that was…before."
"Before what?"
He looks like he can't speak, so I help him out.
"Before this?"
I hold his hands to my heart as I kiss him, long, slow, soft, and without hesitating he kisses back, nipping gently at my lips and running a long slender finger down my chest. I pull away, the taste of his lips lingering on mine.
"Now try telling me you don't want me here."
He looks away, trying to hide the very un-Remus-ish look in his eyes. His chest is firm and muscled as I run my fingers along the gouges and ridges that cover his body.
"You've got more scars."
He drags my hand away from them.
"Don't look at them. Don't touch them. They're hideous."
I gaze at his golden hair, his scared brown eyes, his soft lips. How could he ever think anything about him was ugly? He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and a few scars don't change that.
"I love your scars, Remus. They're a part of who you are, so they are beautiful. Even this one."
I move my fingers gently to touch the bitemarks on his upper thigh, white with age but still raised and still causing so much pain to Remus.
Then I brush my fingers lightly around to Remus' inner leg, so tender and sensitive. He moans softly as I run my fingertips upwards.
"I love you, Remus Lupin. I'll love you until I die."
With a slight whimper, he grabs me around the neck and kisses me passionately, and we stand under the warm water entwined in each other, holding on to each other, our lips melded until he releases me and I gasp for breath from my suddenly empty lungs. I hold him close, and as he tightens his grip on me he puts out a sharp little tongue and licks my shoulder. The gesture is surprisingly erotic, and I'm so turned on I'd like to take him right then, but he turns away, releasing his tight grip on my back. I feel blood oozing from the fingernail marks on my back. He lifts his towel off the curtain rail and wraps it around his waist.
"I think I'm clean enough for today."
I grab his arm as he goes to leave the cubicle, pleading in my gaze.
"Bad dog!" he scolds, eyes twinkling. "Down, boy."
Bastard. He leaves the shower and I can hear him getting dressed outside. He's left me here in the shower, and more to the point he's left me so weak I can hardly move. My legs feel like jelly after his kiss. Eventually I get up the strength to leave the shower, grabbing my towel as I go past.
And I see James standing in the doorway, grinning like the cat that got the proverbial cream.
"Well well well, this is an interesting development, isn't it, Sirius…"

What the hell, I couldn't wait. And judging by the reviews received so far, this is unanimously agreed on…
Yay! Steamy shower!
Ok, so it might not be as steamy as some of you would like, but this story has a T rating! Plus I'm only 14 years old! (which doesn't stop me reading smut, but whatever…)
Also, depending on how I feel, there may be ahem more…intimate acts later in the story…
Hope you enjoyed it!
