Sirius awoke to the rising sun peeking through his window. He smiled and
sighed happily. He turned to look at his lover, who was fast asleep in his
arms. Remus looked like an angel in the early suns' rays. Sirius pushed
back some lose hair from Remus' forehead and bent down to kiss him, moving
down to his right eye, cheek and lips. Remus stirred, opening his eyes and
smiled a tired smile.
"Good morning, love." Sirius smiled.
"Good morning." Remus replied tiredly. "What time is it?"
"I guessing around 6:15 or so." He sighed soundly. "Why does it mat- "
"6:15?! " Remus jumped hurriedly out of bed and started to pick up tossed clothes from the night before.
"What is it?" Sirius asked, wishing that gorgeous boy were still in his arms.
"I have to hurry to the servants quarters-if they notice that I am gone-" Sirius chuckled, placing his hands behind his head.
"You worry too much, Moony."
"Hm? 'Moony'?"
"Yes…that is my nickname for you."
"Why Moony?"
"Because you…" Sirius stared into Remus' eyes lovingly. "Because you remind of the moon." A small tint of pink shaded Remus' cheeks as he set on the bed, holding the clothing close to him. "Do you mind?"
"Not at all, call me as you wish..." Remus' stared at Sirius a few moments and smiled. "Padfoot."
"Padfoot?" Sirius set up and hugged his knees.
"Yes, because you make me think of a dog in the mornings," Remus ruffled Sirius hair and chuckled. "Especially with your hair messed like that." With a smirk, Sirius pulled Remus in for a sweet kiss.
*Knock, knock* "Your majesty? Sirius?"
"Lily?"
"Lily?!" Remus gasped, and quickly threw the clothes over the other side or the bed.
"Hide!" Sirius whispered.
"Where?" They both looked around franticly.
"Uh-under the covers!" Remus pulled the covers over his head and lied down, trying not to snicker.
"Shh!"
"Sirius?" Lily entered the room, putting down a laundry basket. "I hope I did not wake you, your mother wants you downstairs as soon as you are dressed." Sirius sighed.
"Do not tell me-"
"Yes, she wants to meet these girls she brought over-"
"Please, Lily, spare me." Sirius fell back on his bed, placing a pillow over his head as if to scream. Lily chuckled.
"Oh-you haven't seen Remus this morning have you?"
"Uh-me? Um-no." Sirius looked over to his left where Remus hid.
"Hmmmmm…. well, when you do, tell him I would like his help sweeping upstairs today." Sirius nodded franticly. With a puzzled glance, Lily left.
Remus poked his head out from underneath the covers.
"That was close," He said with a sigh of relive. "We should be more careful."
"Forget about them for now…" He kissed Remus lightly and laid them both back down, holding Remus in his arms.
"I wish we could stay here." Remus sighed.
"So do I." Sirius kissed his head.
"I should go." Sirius sighed.
"As long as I get to see you later." He smiled.
"Same corner, same floor." Remus chuckled and quickly dressed. "Sirius?"
"Hm? Yes, love?"
"I love you." With a smile, Remus left, leaving Sirius grinning.
Remus was happily helping Lily sweeping the fifth floor later that morning. She sighed dreamily, blushing a little. Remus smiled.
"Are you thinking about your wedding?"
"Oh, yes," She sighed again. "I do not think I have ever been so happy, Remus." She danced and twirled around with her broom. "AAAHH!! What is *that*?!"
"Hm?" Lily pointed in the corner where a huge rat lied died.
"That must be the same rat Queen Melinda saw." Remus murmured.
"Disgusting." Lily poked at it with her broom with a shudder. "Ugh…" Remus chuckled.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it later."
"Good morning!" Sirius greeted them loudly as came up the steps.
"Good morning, Sirius." Lily smiled. "James wanted me to tell you, both of you, that we would like you two as our best men for our wedding."
"Really?" Remus was a little shocked. He had not even known James and Lily that long. "For that matter, I haven't known Sirius that long either." He thought with a small smirk.
"Yes, it would mean so much to us." She smiled sweetly.
"It would be an honor!" Sirius bowed. "Remus?"
"Hm?" Remus could not help but blush when he looked at Sirius, especially after their little escapade the night before.
"Come here, I want to tell you something." Sirius started down the stairs, Remus noticed his little devil smirk form. Remus shrugged at Lily and followed Sirius downstairs, once he reached the last step he felt Sirius pull his arm to kiss him deeply. Remus pushed him gently away with a smile.
"I knew that was coming."
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Sirius grinned. "I'll see you at lunch."
"All right," Remus bowed. "Until then your majesty." He smirked.
"I can't wait!" Sirius grinned. It was lunchtime and Queen Melinda had just announced that King Black would be returning home shortly.
"Nor can I! He has been gone for quite some time now. He will be so happy once he learns about James and Lily's wedding!" Queen Melinda happily sipped her tea. "But as to tell him about yours-well, I am just at a loss of-"
"Mother."
"What?" She batted her eyes and gave Sirius an innocent look. Sirius rolled eyes and grabbing an apple, he left to the gardens to find Remus.
"I wonder what Dad would think of Remus-that is if I were to tell him." Sirius thought, looking around the gardens. "I think he would be a bit more open-minded about it then mom ever would be." He soon found Remus watering the roses; he looked just as beautiful as any rose there.
"Hello, Sirius." Remus smiled.
"Mother told me father should be arriving home soon." He handed the apple to Remus, who smiled in thanks and took a bite. Sirius took a seat on a stone bench nearby. "I am glad. It seems that he has been gone for ages." Remus took a seat next to him.
"Where was he?"
"He was visiting my uncle. He lives far from here."
"Oh…" Both young men smiled at each other and let their eyes wander about the garden.
"So…um…" Sirius began, staring at a bush with full bloom red roses.
"You can't think of anything to say either." Remus chuckled.
"Heh…" He sighed. "I think my mother is becoming more suspicious."
"I've noticed. She gave me a rather awkward glance this morning. Maybe we should be more careful."
"Is that all you ever say?" Sirius smirked. "I'm not that worried." Sirius placed his hand on Remus' neck and pulled him in for a kiss. "Don't worry, love."
" 'Love'?" Lily stood by with her hands on her hips.
"Lily?" Sirius cursed himself silently.
"This is so sweet!" Lily squealed.
"What…?" Remus blushed.
"Lily-you cannot say a word to mother!"
"Do not worry, Sirius, I would not dream of it. I *knew* there was something going on between you two! Especially by the way, you two have been looking at each other in the hallways this past week. And I've noticed that Remus blushes every time you whisper something to him." Lily giggled.
"I do not." Remus smiled a small smile.
"Yes, you do, love." Sirius whispered in his ear, causing him to blush as red as the roses that surrounded them.
"See!" Lily snickered. "Sirius, you know that the queen might get suspicious."
"She already is-but I don't care. She should not have any right whatsoever telling me who I can and cannot love."
"And I agree with you, but you as well as I," Her voice became a whisper. "You know as well as I that male relationships are shunned! *Especially* with your mother."
"I don't care, Lily. I am the prince of this kingdom and no matter what anyone says, I will never-*never* stop loving my Remus."
"That is very sweet. Do not worry, your secret is safe with me." Lily winked. "I must go now, best of luck to you both."
"She is such a sweet girl." Remus said, still blushing from the earlier conversation.
"Yes, but you, my love," Sirius gave him a quick peck on his lips. "Are even sweeter." Remus only smiled. "I think I will wait out by the trail and look for my fathers' carriage."
"I should get back to watering the roses."
"Until tonight." Sirius smirked and hopped up from the bench, feeling happier then he ever felt before.
Queen Melinda had just then entered the gardens, seeing her son with a huge grin on his face.
"Now what on earth is that boy so happy about?" She mumbled to herself. She spotted Remus, blushing as he watered the roses. "Hmmmmmmmmmmm……now it is either my imagination, or my son is spending far too much time with that boy." She shrugged and smiled to herself. "He is probably trying to make him feel at home!" She giggled, remembering the maidens she had brought over for Sirius to meet.
"*Nothing* could ruin life now." Sirius thought to himself happily, heading towards the trail to spy for his father.
"Good morning, love." Sirius smiled.
"Good morning." Remus replied tiredly. "What time is it?"
"I guessing around 6:15 or so." He sighed soundly. "Why does it mat- "
