Sorry this took so long. I had a bit of writers block as I'm no so good with the Christmas day scenes.

I hope you enjoy it.

Sirius was the first to wake up. He didn't want to get out of bed as he was content to lay in Remus' arms, but he wanted Remus to see the stocking full of chocolate and be happy. He wanted to be the reason Remus was smiling.

He carefully untangled himself from Remus' grip, sliding out of the toasty bed and into the cold, making sure Remus was completely covered before heading to the living room. He cast as many heating spells as he could in the room, before moving onto the hallway and bedroom to cast the same spell, knowing Remus would be more likely to get out of bed if the flat was warm. Sirus done the same in the kitchen and made breakfast for them both, setting the two plates and cups onto an enlarged tray and walking back to the bedroom.

"Moony?" He called.

"If you take my covers, I will kill you," came a mumbled voice from somewhere inside the lump on the bed.

"I've cast lots of warming charms and I brought you breakfast," Sirius replied.

After a bit of shuffling, Remus' head made an appearance and he took in the sight of a topless Sirius with breakfast. He moved up the bed into a sitting position, and Sirius carefully handed him the tray before climbing back in next to him.

"Hot chocolate too? What did I do to deserve this?" Remus asked. "Tell me and I'll do it more often."

"Well I'm not one to spend the night with someone without making them breakfast," Sirius replied. "Not that I'm comparing you to guys I've shagged or anything. I mean, you're Moony, it's different." He took a deep breath and took in Remus' amused expression. "I mean I did this because I wanted to and it's nice to have breakfast in bed."

"It is nice," Remus agreed, moving the tray between them. He began to eat with his right arm, as Sirius was on his left. When the food was finished and they had drunk the hot chocolate, Sirius put the tray on the floor and Remus leaned against him.

"This is the best Christmas," Remus said, his head resting on Sirius' shoulder.

"It is," Sirius agreed. "It's lovely and warm in here, should we just stay here and not go to your parents or to James and Lily?"

"Tempting," Remus replied, not moving away. "But my parents are expecting us, plus stockings and Christmas presents. Maybe next time?"

Sirius couldn't help the smile that appeared when Remus mentioned there would be a next time. He slowly pulled the covers off them and climbed out of the bed. He grabbed the tray and watched Remus get up, trying not to let his gaze linger on Remus' bare chest. Sirius was just glad that Remus had worn pyjama bottoms, otherwise it would have been harder to keep his gaze to himself.

He quickly put the tray in the kitchen and headed to the living room where Remus was taking down the two stockings from the fireplace. He knelt on the floor next to them, waiting for Sirius to join him.

Sirius opened his stocking first, grinning as he pulled out various products from Zonkos.

"Dungbombs," he said, grinning widely. "Brilliant, I used my last one on James. I've been meaning to get more. You're the best, Moony." He carefully placed everything back into the stocking, depositing it in his room before returning to the living room.

"Open yours."

Remus opened the top of the stocking, his eyes widening at the sight of the chocolates. He scooped the handful out, looking more and more surprised as the chocolates didn't seem to be stopping.

"Is this full of chocolate?" He asked, stopping to look at Sirius.

"Yup," Sirius replied proudly.

"You're amazing," Remus said, putting the chocolates back in. "I can't believe you. You must have spent a fortune. I could just kiss you."

Their eyes met at the words and Remus grinned, before leaning in and planting a soft kiss onto Sirius' cheek. "Thank you," he said, pretending not to notice the expression on Sirius' face.

Had he not overheard Sirius the other day, the look Sirius was giving him at that moment would have told him that Sirius clearly had romantic feelings for him.

...oOo...

The pair spent the morning at the Lupin's house, listening to Christmas songs and watching Christmas films before finally sitting down to a massive plate of food. Crackers were pulled and photos of them in stupid hats were taken.

Sirius enjoyed it. Having grown up with the Blacks, his Christmas' had always been awful. This is how Christmas should be, people laughing. Parents being embarassing. Sirius hadn't been joking to Remus when he said that he planned to be Hope's favourite. That way he could get an invite to their family things all the time.

Finally it was time to say goodbye and head to James and Lily.

Sirius leaned in to hug Hope and she spoke softly into his ear.

"My son is lucky to have you," she began. "I was hoping he would find someone and seeing you two together, the way you look at each other is so wonderful. I'm glad that you're the one he's dating. I knew it was only a matter of time considering all he talked about was you and how handsome you are."

"He thinks I'm handsome?"

Hope let out a quiet laugh. "He thinks a lot more than that, Sirius, dear. We're glad you're part of the family."

"Like what? What's he said?"

"Maybe you should ask him about that picture of you and him he used to hide under his pillow," she whispered before letting go.

Sirius smiled at her. "I will," he assured her, before shaking John's hand.

"So Moony, I hear you used to sleep with a special something under your pillow," Sirius teased.

"Yeah. It was a picture of you," Remus offered with a grin, seconds before he stepped into the floo and disappeared.

...oOo...

Sirius followed him through, curious as to why Remus had slept with a picture of him. He didn't get a chance to ask before Lily grabbed him, hugged him and wished him a merry Christmas. That was followed by a hug from James, and before he knew it, he was holding a Butterbeer and James was talking about Quidditch.

Sirius struggled to keep his attention on his best friend, his gaze constantly meeting Remus' from where he was sitting with Lily on the sofa. The pair had visited with Lily's sister that morning, something James hadn't been looking forward to.

"She accused me of getting pregnant to steal her moment," Lily said, proving to Sirius that he was right about the choice of topic. Sirius turned back to James who looked angry. "She said I only got pregnant because she was pregnant and I couldn't stand her getting the attention for once. I had to be a freak and steal our parents attention, and now I'm pregnant to take the focus of her yet again."

"It was that moron she married that called Lily a freak," James said, full of anger. "I told him not to call her that, and to stop stressing Lily out. Stress isnt good for the baby and that set him off again. He was a right arse, the things he was saying..."

"James punched him, he fell onto the coffee table and broke it and Petunia was shouting about her ruined table," Lily added.

"I feel sorry for any child that is born to that pair," James stated with a frown. "Maybe we can Obliviate them and take the baby away and raise it instead, because I don't think those two are capable of looking after anyone but themselves."

"I've met someone," Remus blurted out, desperately trying to change the subject before James said something about Petunia Evans... Dursley, that would reduce his wife to tears. She may be angry with her, but Remus knew she did love her sister.

"What?" Came three voices.

Remus was relieved that the three were more focused on his love-life and James had immediately forgotten about the Dursleys. Lily looked relieved at the change of subject.

"Yeah... I met someone. I've known him for a while, and recently... well, things have changed between us. He's amazing, makes me laugh and smile and everything."

"And does he know about your condition?" James asked, not wanting to look at Sirius.

"Yeah, he's known for a while. It makes no difference to him. He's in love with me."

There was a long silence.

"I can really see a future with him," Remus said, his voice softer. He walked to the tree and picked up the presents he had placed under there. "Open these."

Sirius barely looked at what was being pressed into his hand. For a little while he had dared to hope that Remus might have been interested or that he could get Remus' interest. They had shared a bed and cuddled. Remus had kissed his cheek. Remus' mum thought they were together and told him that Remus found him handsome and that Remus used to sleep with a picture of Sirius under his pillow.

But he had clearly just gotten his hopes up.

He put the box down. "I left something at the flat, I need..."

"Open your present," Remus insisted. "Please."

Sirius couldn't say no to Remus, and opened the present, trying to smile. His eyes fell on the photo and the smile went from fake to real.

"I don't remember seeing this picture before?"

"Yeah, well I never showed you it before," Remus replied.

"I like it," he said, his eyes moving slowly over the picture, and looking at the expression on Remus' face. Was Remus reacting like that because Sirius had his arms wrapped around him? It looked that way.

"That's not everything," Remus said.

He gestured to the box as James pretended to examine his little stag ornament and Lily pretended to watch her ballerina dance, and Sirius took out the bit of parchment.

Remus watched nervously as Sirius opened it, his eyes moving across the words.

"Wait, what?" he whispered, his eyes darting to the top again as he tried to take in each word. Sirius thought he had misread everything. There was no way Remus was declaring his love.

But it was right there. Remus was in love with him. The words on the paper said so.

"I don't understand... you said you met someone?"

"I met someone eight years ago," Remus said softly. "I heard you the other day in the garden... what you said, and... well, it was like a dream come true that you felt like that for me. I know there's a risk it'll end up like your other relationships, but you are worth that risk."

Sirius was silent for a couple of moments, thinking over Remus' words. "It wouldn't end up like my other relationships," Sirius said. "You know why?"

"Why?" Remus asked.

"Because I never got to know any of them beforehand. None of them were serious for me. I never loved any of them and none of them love me. But I love you, Remus. I'm serious about you. I know everything about you - the good and the bad, and I accept it all. I just can't believe it took me until the beginning of the month to truly notice you."

"What made you notice me?" Remus asked, curiously.

"Well... it was that day I stole your covers," Sirius explained. "You got up from the bed and for some reason I never realised how much you grew up... but that day, your body looked good, your hair had this just shagged look about it and I realised you weren't the scrawny boy we used to patch up in the Shack."

"So it was because I looked better?" Remus asked.

"No. I mean, that's what made me realise that you weren't a kid anymore. I know we're the same age, but still... I think that's when I saw you in a new light and every day after that I noticed these little things about you and then you kissed me under the mistletoe and that was torture because I wanted so much more and I tried to tell myself that it was just a crush but I realised I was in love with you. I never thought I'd be in with a chance. I just realised you weren't that shy little kid anymore."

Remus smiled, taking his hand, noticing how it fit perfectly in his.

"How long has it been for you? This says years," Sirius asked.

"Since I was fourteen," Remus replied. "You were my first crush which was really confusing because you, James and Pete kept talking about girls and all I could think about was you."

"Remus, are you trying to tell me that I turned you gay?" Sirius sounded overjoyed by the fact.

"No, but you were the first guy I ever -"

"Thought about in the shower? Had wet dreams about? Wanked over?"

"Wanted to spend my life with."

"Yeah?" Sirius asked, moving closer to Remus.

"Yeah," Remus confirmed before warm lips met his. It was nothing like the gentle brushing of lips under the mistletoe, this kiss left Remus breathless. Both their hearts were pounding as warm lips gently explored each other, moving gently together.

Finally they moved apart.

"I love you," Sirius said, with a grin.

"I love you too," Remus replied. His gaze turned to Lily and James. James quickly looked back at his present. "Wonderful gift, Remus," he said, getting up and putting the glass stag on the fireplace where it strutted up and down.

"I knew it," Lily shouted. "I mean, Remus told me years ago... but I knew Sirius felt the same. I told you, James." She jumped up and hugged them. "We can go on double dates now."

"How would that be any different to how we go out now? Since Peter's disappeared, it's been the four of us doing everything together," Sirius asked.

"It just will be different," Lily insisted. "Now, the rest of the presents."

Sirius shook his head. "No, I need to get something new for Remus. His present was so much better than mine."

Remus shook his head. "No, I want this present here," he said, reaching under the tree and looking for the gifts that Sirius wrapped. He passed one to Lily, one to James and took his own one.

The Potters quickly opened theirs.

"What are these spells?" James asked, looking at the parchment which was his gift.

"They are safe for you to preform on Lily to check that the baby's health is fine. The last one will show if it's a boy or girl. They aren't as advanced as the Healer's spells, these are safe for anyone to use."

James grinned and began to mutter the spells to himself.

"A little doll of James and a packet of pins?" Lily asked. "Sirius. Did you make me a James voodoo doll?"

Sirius nodded. "There isn't any magic in it whatsoever so it won't harm him... I just thought that towards the end of the pregnancy you'll be pretty pissed at him and this would help."

"How thoughtful," Lily said, hugging him. They all ignored James' look of disbelief.

Remus opened his package and his hand met some lovely warm material. He brought it to his face and ran it across his cheek before unfolding it.

"A new scarf," Remus said.

"Did you make that?" Lily asked.

Sirius nodded. "Molly Prewett taught me. I wanted to make a jumper but I wasn't very good. I realised that I could make scarves though, and knew you needed one."

"What spells are these?"

"Just potions to keep the material warm and to make it really soft," Sirius said.

"I love it," Remus said, smiling at Sirius as he wound the scarf around his neck. "It's amazing. You learnt to knit just for me?"

"Yeah, I wanted you to have something that you'd need, but I wasn't sure if you were too attached to your Gryffindor scarf."

"It's true, I'm attached to it, but it's not everyday that my boyfriend makes me a scarf. I like your one much more," Remus said.

"Boyfriend?" Sirius questioned, a massive grin on his face.

"So adorable," Lily whispered watching the pair.

"Hey Lily, should we go put the roast potatoes in the oven? James asked.

"You go ahead," Lily said, still starting at Sirius and Remus.

"Right. Lily, do you want to bring some drinks through."

Lily sighed and stopped staring at Remus and Sirius. "Fine, I'll leave them to it," she grumbled, leading James from the room.

"So, should we go back and I can show you how good a shag I am?" Sirius whispered once Lily was out of the room.

"Tempting, but if we leave before dinner, Lily will hunt us down. Do you really want to face Lily?"

"After dinner?" Sirius suggested.

"After whatever Lily has planned for this evening," Remus replied. "If you're good, you can stay in my bed tonight if you want, it's nice when you keep me warm."

"Did you really sleep with a picture of me under your pillow?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah," Remus admitted. "I was in love with you. James had a picture of Lily, but he had it in a frame since it wasn't a secret."

"Remus, I love you," Sirius whispered.

"I love you too," Remus said, knowing he would never get bored of saying those words. "Does this mean I'm getting breakfast in bed more often?"

"That's not all you'll be getting in bed," Sirius replied, tilting Remus' head up slightly to his and letting their lips meet again.

This is the end.

Please leave a review :D

Apologies for any mistakes. Fanfiction have taken out the spellchecker feature. I've read through a few times, and think I got most of the mistakes and can't see any others.
