Authors note: Just wanted to thank everyone once more for reviewing! On to the chapter 5! *Thinks about what's coming up in the next few chapters* I think I might have to change the rating soon…



Sirius found Remus right where he had left him. He had returned to his work scrubbing the floors. With a smirk, Sirius slowly crept up behind him. Sirius bent down on his knees, now being behind Remus, and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him and yelling, "The castle is crumbling!" Remus jumped up and turned around in a full circle. Sirius stood, grabbing Remus' arms and pulling him in for a kiss before he had a chance to speak.

"Mmm!" Remus pushed Sirius back in surprise, who was laughing up a strom.

"You should have seen your face!"

"Sirius-!"

"What?" Sirius grabbed Remus, holding him close and leaned in for another kiss. Remus chuckled.

"What was it that your mother wanted?" He picked up the mop Sirius had caused him to drop with his little prank.

"What else? She wants me to continue meeting looking for a bride." Sirius smiled softly at Remus. "But I already found my maiden." Remus smiled back, a light hue in his cheeks.

Sirius felt like he was in a dream world for the rest of the day. He set in the garden that afternoon daydreaming and thinking of his Remus.

During dinner that night, he only pushed his food around with his fork.

"Sirius, dear, are you feeling ill?" Queen Melinda asked, staring at the strange "R.L" that was formed in peas on his plate. Sirius quickly scattered them around.

"Never better, mother."

"Well, tomorrow these nice girls are coming by! Their names are Dora and Rose. Very nice, pretty girls they are-wealthy too!" Sirius nodded, smiling. He wasn't listening to as word his mother said, only thinking of Remus.

That night Sirius snuck into the servants' quarters, finding Remus staring out the window. Sirius walked up behind him and hugged his shoulders. Both of them smiled at each other and turned to stare up at the moon, each lost in thoughts about each other.



For the next week and a half, both Remus and Sirius would find ways to meet each other in secret; they would sneak smiled and long, loving glances. Even as Remus tended to his duties around the palace, Sirius always seemed to manage surprising him with stolen kisses in the halls way or pulling him in a dark corner to whisper, "I love you," and be on his way, smirking in his devilish way.

But of course, Remus didn't mind. He never felt so happy. There was only one little obstacle-Melinda Black. Three times has she almost caught them, and it was either Remus, or the queen was beginning to get suspicious about the fact that her son seemed to be spending so much time with this "lowly servant." Still, Remus smiled through it all. It was worth it just to see Sirius in dark corners.

He continued to scrub the floors, smiled, waiting for Sirius to surprise him at any moment. Sirius always seemed to think of new ways. Remus turned his head around, looking in dark corners and glancing under the stairway. "Come on out, Sirius. I know you're around here somewhere." He murmured with a smile. He stood to take a better look around.

"Boo." He jumped and whirled around, behind him, there stood Sirius.

"I knew you were there."

"No, you didn't." Sirius whispered and pulled Remus in for a kiss. Remus dropped the rag that he had been using for the floors and began stoking Sirius' beautiful black hair. He began walking backwards, along with Sirius, until he felt a wall beneath him. He let out a quiet moan into Sirius' lips. He could stay like this forever-he *wanted* to stay like this forever. *Click, click, click* the sound of Queen Melinda's heels came in.

"Sirius! Dear, you cannot keep those girls waiting! Where are you?!" Sirius slowly pulled away from Remus, with an annoyed, angry look on his face.

"You better go," Remus said sadly. How badly he still wished to be kissing his prince.

"No. I told them I would return shortly. If they thought that I was telling the truth they were *sorely* mistaken." Remus chuckled. "Come here." Sirius whispered, taking Remus' hand, he led them to a dark corner near the stairs.

"Sirius, what are you-"

"Shh…" He placed a finger over his lips.

"Sirius! Oh, blast that son of mine! He ran away-again! That's the second time this week!" Queen Melinda went stomping off with a, "Now *what* do I tell those girls?!" ,in a panicked tone.

"We really should be more careful." Remus said, going back to his chores.

"You worry too much." Sirius hugged Remus' shoulders.

"What if your mother were to find out about…?"

"I wouldn't care." He kissed Remus' head lightly.

"But think of-"

"Again, you worry too much. I would not care, Remus." Sirius turned Remus around to face him. "I love you, and I certainly would not let anyone-especially my mother-take you away from me." He leaned against Remus' forehead with a smile and whispered, "I will never let you go, I promise. You are my maiden." His smile widened. Remus smiled back, feeling his cheeks turn crimson. "Come with me." Sirius kissed Remus lightly. Taking Remus' hand, he led him up stairs to the forth floor.

"Sirius, where are we going?" Sirius turned to face him, walking backwards and smirking. "Siri…" Sirius interrupted him with a kiss as he continued to walk. Remus sighed against his lips. "Siri-mmm…Sirius where are we-"

"Shh." Sirius smirked again as he finally reached his destination-his bedroom. Sirius opened the door quietly, leading Remus inside then quickly locking the door. Remus stared in confusion, but before he could say a word Sirius pressed his lips passionately upon his. Remus felt himself being gently pushed backwards until he fell onto Sirius' bed, with Sirius falling on top of him. Remus let his hands run wildly through Sirus' hair as a moan escaped his lips. Sirius kissed his cheek, chin, slowly moving down to his neck.

"Sirius…what if-"

"Don't worry about it," He said seductively, pulling at Remus' robe. Remus moaned and said the only thing that was on his mind, "I love you, Sirius.
