Remus opened his eyes and all he saw was the roof of the Shrieking Shack. He sighed warily, believing he was alone like he was every morning after the full moon. Although the Marauders were with him throughout the night, they left at dawn, when he was back to being human, so there was less chance of Madam Pomfrey or Dumbledore seeing them.
He understood why they couldn't stay of course, but it would have still been nice to not wake up alone, especially when everything ached.
"Hey, Moony," a familiar voice broke through his pained thoughts.
He stiffened in shock and slowly turned his head to look towards the left, where the soft greeting had come from. "Sirius? Why are you still here? What if Madam Pomfrey comes?"
"I'll be gone before she comes. I just needed to tell you something."
Remus blinked. "You should know that my mind's working a bit slowly right now, so I might not understand whatever you say."
He smirked lazily, his eyes hooded in a way that made Remus think of the bedroom.
He gulped as the image of a naked Sirius laying on a bed and beckoning him to come closer entered his mind. In a strangled voice, he asked, "So, what did you want to tell me?"
"You said you might not understand my words, but maybe you'll understand actions," he whispered and leaned over so he hovered over Remus' prone body. And before Remus could utter a question about what he was doing, Sirius bent down and sealed his lips over Remus' in a gentle kiss, mindful of Remus' soreness.
When he pulled back, his eyes still had that same hooded look. "Remus, I love you, and I decided I couldn't keep it a secret any longer."
Remus blinked; he was pretty sure his brain had short-circuited, but he knew enough to say, "I love you, too."
Sirius ' eyes seemed to look deep into his soul as he gazed him. "Good because I hoped you did."
