Author's Note:

Just some fluff, ^_^ Now I've been wondering...I can't decide if I should let Sirius live in my story or not, because I let him live in my other stories...maybe I should, I don't know, I'm rather fond of Sirius in here ;D What do you guys think?

Chapter 14 – Kiss

He'd been looking for her all day but Sirius had said that Tonks went back to her apartment to do some cleaning and to move some more of her clothes over to Grimmauld Place. Remus had wanted to ask if she needed any help but Tonks was already out of there before he could catch her. All day he hadn't seen her and they hadn't said a word to each other.

It was still ten minutes before another Order meeting was about to start. Remus stepped out of the Black family library, tired but looking forward to the meeting because hopefully he would see a certain pink haired punk rock auror there. What he hadn't expected was that he'd be able to see said auror a few minutes earlier.

As Remus closed the door to the library, he suddenly ran into a stumbling Nymphadora Tonks who had fallen off the last three steps of the stairs from the landing above him. Luckily he reacted quickly enough and caught her but once again found themselves in a rather odd position with Tonks lying on top of him, her legs around his and their faces inches apart while her hands were on his chest and his were around her waist. Remus blushed immediately and didn't know what to do. He didn't want to push her off of him but he didn't know what to do next either.

"Remus, wotcher," Tonks smiled, her cheeks burning up and her eyes a dark green.

Remus' soft blue eyes widened and he smiled shyly at her. "Nymphadora, hello."

"Uh this," she laughed, becoming shy.

His eyes widened a bit more. Was Nymphadora being shy?

Slowly, before he realized it, Tonks was leaning in closer to him, her lips closing the small distance between hers and his. Remus didn't move as Tonks gently set her lips on his. But she didn't move either. She made the first move, but she didn't push on. She was simply waiting. Remus decided that he couldn't hold back any longer and if she liked him enough to make the first move, he should be just as well smart enough to counter it.

He closed his eyes and kissed her. Their kiss was gentle but lacking no fire or intense emotion. Their kiss was passionate and soft, sweet, and soothing. Their long kiss stopped a few moments later as they sought to catch their breaths. But again, Remus had his hands buried in her pink hair as they kissed again. Tonks was playing with his soft light brown hair and their long kisses turned to feathers of kisses. They couldn't hold themselves back and it was as if they were putting all of their previous emotions for each other into those kisses.

"Moony, the meeting's about to start. Are you coming or what?" Sirius' voice called from down the stairs as he began ascending the set of stairs. Tonks and Remus didn't notice however, they were too caught up in their own little world of kisses. "And while you're up there can you check if my colorful cousin is up there as well cuz I'm not walking up another flight of stairs," Sirius continued as his already loud voice drew nearer and louder. Remus and Tonks both continued to ignore him, something they've been doing quite often when they were together. "Moony are you listening what are…" Sirius spoke and suddenly paused, gawking at the kissing couple. "What the bloody hell?" he screamed, causing the portrait of Walburga Black to awaken and shriek at them. "What is up with you and stairs?" Sirius yelled. "Oh SHUT UP YOU OLD HAG!" he yelled at his mother while Remus and Tonks finally broke apart and shyly stared at Sirius, blushing madly from embarrassment.

"Uh…" Tonks began.

"Padfoot…" Remus began, unsure as well.

Sirius turned from one to another and then rolled his eyes. "Honestly, what is up with you people and stairs?" he sighed. "They'll be a little late Molly they're too caught up over some minor nymph and werewolf communication problems," Sirius called down the stairs and turned on his heels to leave them alone. He continued to grumble, "Merlin I knew they were in love but do they seriously have to be all over each other like that? This is getting annoying and odd at the same time, my little cousin and my best friend. What has this world come to? Oh and there's a hippogriff in the attic, I'm an escaped criminal, and apparently Snape the dreariest man alive is supposedly a good guy and is helping us…" Sirius continued to grumble loud enough so Tonks and Remus could hear him.

They turned and faced each other, their cheeks burning up. "Um…" Tonks began.

"Well Padfoot does tend to grumble lately," Remus shrugged and got up to his feet, pulling Tonks up as well. "Maybe we should get down there before people actually start thinking we have communication problems," he smiled.

Tonks swallowed hard and managed a chuckle as she nodded and followed him.
