AN- ok, it's a bit longer, and I hope you like it. Btw- though it's similar, this is not the same storyline as my songfic- Oh Starry Night. Though it is similar.

"Bombs away!!" Sirius yelled, jumping into the pond off a nearby boulder. HE made a larger enough wave that it forced Remus backwards.
"Hey! Watch it!" Remus said; laughing as his bottom scraped ground. Sirius swam over and sat half in the water beside him.
"I suppose it's time for a quick breather, eh?" Sirius stated, grinning.
Remus laughed as Sirius shook his head, sending water flying out of his long, black, locks of hair. 'Great Merlin, he's simply beautiful.' Remus sighed. He had no idea where these thoughts kept coming from. He'd never thought anything like this about a GIRL. What was going on?
"Penny for your thoughts?" Sirius asked with a grin.
Remus looked up, "What's that mean?"
"It's an old muggle saying…a penny is a coin, and well, I'm just curious as to what you're thinking about."
"Err…well..." Remus mumbled, blushing. "It's…complicated."
"Ah…" Sirius nodded knowingly. "Does ikkle Remmy have a crush??" He asked, poking Remus playfully in the side.
Remus sat up like a shot, all the blood draining from his face. 'Is that was this is? Do I have a crush on SIRIUS??' He shook his head; it couldn't be…or could it?
"AH HA!" Sirius crowed. "I got it one didn't I?"
Remus looked up at the triumphant Sirius. He WAS perfect. 'Ok, so I do have a crush, on Sirius. Which makes me…gay?' Remus blushed, a violent change from his former pallor. "That would be correct, although I didn't even know it until just now." He said, looking down at the water. He could just see their feet through the ripples the wind was causing. 'Bloody hell,' he thought, 'even his FEET are cute!'
"So who's the lucky girl?" Sirius asked, almost with resignation, although Remus was too confused to notice it.
Remus looked up at Sirius. He'd accepted his lycanthropy…and he was his best friend. He told Sirius just about everything. It would be fine…
"That's just it." Remus said slowly, "It's not a girl. Siri, I think I'm gay." He looked back down at the water. "I'm confused Siri, I mean, being a werewolf is bad, so isn't being a GAY werewolf that much worse? It just makes me three times as different." He bit his lip in frustration. 'Damn it, I'm NOT going to cry, I'm a guy, guys don't cry, I'm not going to cry!' But sure enough, a tear splashed silently into the pond. "I don't know what to do. Will everyone hate me now?"
"Shh… Don't worry Moony, it's all ok. No one's going to hate you, you're far too wonderful." Sirius pulled the smaller boy into a hug. But as he touched Remus's arm, it seemed as if fire, or electricity, or something surged up his arm. And it felt...right somehow. "I'm here Moon-love; I'm never going to leave you. Not ever."
Remus sighed, why did Sirius have to be this PERFECT? And his best friend. 'Oh so close, yet oh so far away.'
Sirius smiled as he rocked Remus in his arms. Now that he thought about it, he's always loved Remus. He'd just never noticed it. Ever since that day…
-Flashback-
"I'm going to get you!!! Sirius yelled, running through the woods. It was his eighth birthday party and he was 'it' in their game of hide and seek. It was getting dark, but no one wanted to stop playing. Especially not when they were having so much fun. Sirius just kept going, searching for his friends. All his friends were here, but they all were very good at hiding.
Suddenly there was a rustle in the bushes behind him. Sirius turned around, expecting to see one of his friends, probably Remus, dart out and run towards the house, but instead he saw a pair or bright, yellow eyes staring back at him. Wolf. Sirius screamed and ran as fast as he could, but an eight year old just can't out run a fully grown wolf.
Remus was hiding in a tree nearby. He heard Sirius's scream just before he saw Sirius come running into sight, the wolf not far behind. 'A werewolf!' he thought panicked. 'And it's going to get Siri!' Remus's eyes had gone wide with fright. It couldn't get Siri, not ever. And he was going to make sure of it. Just then, Sirius ran under the branch he was sitting on. Remus jumped down, and landed there, between Sirius and the wolf.
"NOO!" Sirius yelled, hearing Remus's landing. But the wolf was only 5 strides away, 3 now, and then suddenly he was upon Remus. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!" Sirius yelled with all his might. 'Not Remus, not REMUS!' And somehow, somewhere, his plea was answered. A flash of white light, and the wolf was dead beside a still living Remus, who had a bite on his right shoulder.
The two boys stood there, looking at the wolf's body in shock. Yet stranger things were yet to come.
"Your love for each other has saved your lives." A voice said from behind them. They spun around to see a woman, all bright and white, standing there. "Let your love stay strong and it will serve you." She smiled at them. "Remus Lupin and Sirius Back. The moon and the stars unite. Many difficulties lie on your path, but together, all will be overcome. Trust in each other." And with that, the moon goddess was gone. The boys stared at each other as the shouts of their parents filled the small clearing. The first obstacle.
-End flashback-
Sirius smiled at the memory. Selene had been right so far, and this was just one more obstacle to overcome. And maybe this is what she meant. Maybe this love was there all along. 'But it's too uncertain to be sure.' Sirius thought with a sigh. "I'll have to admire my love from afar.' He smiled; he'd have a lot of time to spend with Remus this summer. 'This is one summer I'm never going to forget.'
AN: Longer? I hope you liked it. As always- R&R!
