Last Chapter Refreshment!: "You'll be starving for a piece of that werewolf before Christmas." James laughed to himself but quickly adjusted himself. "I wonder if Remus feels the same way..."
"Feels the same way about what?"
-------------------------
James must've jumped three feet into the air. He quickly darted around to see who had snuck up on him whilst he talked to himself. There stood Remus himself along with Peter.
"Sorry for interrupting that little chat you were having. But I'd like to know what you wonder I feel the same way about, James." Remus pressed further. Peter nodded in agreement.
"I'd like to know, myself. C'mon, Jamie!" But James had gone white with a combination of shock and fear.
'Sirius is going to KILL me. He'll stab me with his wand, if he has too! God~, what have I gotten myself into?!' "Uh... the same way about..." His eyes darted around the room and the first thing they landed on were, "Underpants! The same way about underpants!"
"Underpants, James?" Remus looked severely confused.
"Um, yeah! Do you like, uh, boxers or briefs better?" James said with a hearty, but painfully forced smile.
Sirius sat at the Gryffindore table in the Great Hall, eating his apple and cinnamon porridge when he heard a great booming voice come from the entrance.
"SIRIUS ORION BLACK, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU IF I DON'T DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT BEFORE I GET TO IT!!!" All heads turned towards James Potter stomping furiously into the Great Hall. Sirius rushed up to him and pulled him into the hallway.
"What the hell is your problem?! Running in there like that!" James continued to yell at Sirius.
"Why did you tell me you got the hots for Remus!! You know I talk to myself! If you weren't my best friend, I would have never-"
"Whoa! Slow down there, mate. What happened?" James caught his breath and slid to the floor.
"I was talking to myself in the dorm and I accidentally said 'I wonder if Remus feels the same' and Remus heard me and I was trying to make an excuse and the only thing I could think of was UNDERPANTS."
"Um... underpants?" Sirius let out a fake laugh. James groaned into his knees.
"Well, at least know you can know he prefers boxers, opposed to my liking of briefs, for whatever perverted reason you may need that information for."
Though he wouldn't dare admit it, Sirius was actually very happy about the whole "underpants ordeal", as it made things more uncomfortable between Remus and James then Remus and himself. Things did seem to feel a little awkward at times, but as Sirius had predicted, Remus never once brought it up. The two hadn't had a one on one chat in almost a month. O.W.L. exams were to be at the end of the year, and the homework was already starting to pile up. One evening (particularly an evening where he had to write 3 foot long essays in every class), Remus had taken a trip down to study and the library was literally packed. 'Damn.' he thought to himself. Every table had four students (and sometimes an extra that magicked in a chair) which was the limit of space for the amount of books he needed to check up on. Except for one... there sat Sirius with his face on the table, snoring away. Remus noticed there was only one chair left at the table ('So that's where those couple people got their extra chairs.'). He really didn't feel like seeing Sirius alone, but he had no choice with the load of homework he had. He quietly sat down and avoided as much noise so not to wake the sleeping lad. After Remus got all the books he needed, he feared he would have to wake him. His hair was sprawled all over the table where valuable book space sat. Remus poked Sirius and whispered loudly in his ear.
"Sirius. Oi, Sirius. Get up. I need this table. Sirius!" With that Sirius shot up and looked around groggily.
"Hua? Rem? Where am I?"
"In the library, and I have homework to do so I needed you to pick your head up off the table."
"Oh. I got some homework to do, too. Mind if I share yer books?" Remus desperately wanted to say no to avoid all awkwardness, but he had no legitamate reason to deny him the books. He nodded wearily. Sirius grabbed some parchment and a quill off some other table absent of it's occupiers and grabbed the book nearest to him. The two sat at the table together, yet seperately doing their work for about an hour when Remus found their silence deafening and had to bring up something to converse about. He thought of the train ride to Hogwarts.
"Hey, Sirius. Remember how James mentioned you guys snuck into an all- girl's cabin, or something?" Sirius looked up from his book.
"Yeah."
"You said James had to bribe you to do it."
"Haha, the bloke was too scared to go alone!"
"Yeah, but why did he have to bribe you?"
"I'm not really into girls at the moment, dispite the rumours that circulate about this handsome, charming chap." Sirius smirked.
"Then what are you into? Boys?" Remus forced a small laugh at what accidentaly came out of his mouth to make it seem a joke.
"Why do you want to know?" Sirius looked Remus straight in the eye. Remus stopped laughing and looked at him questioningly.
------------------------- Author's Word:
I've changed the format of the story! Feel my wrath! Moohahahaha! Ha. Sorry. Oy~, writing these chapters aren't always as easy as I think it'll be. I've been trying to write at least 1000 words per chapter, but I'm getting worn out easily, with writing these every morning at 3. Aughhhh. Anyways, I'm writing a alternate reality type version of this story with my own characters because Jenna said I should. Thanks for the brilliant idea Jenna! You can view it at:
It's called "A Boy's Love" and instead of Remus and Sirius, there's Eoghan and Rowan. Kinda freaky when I ponder on it, but I'm rambling, so off with you! Much thanks to my reviewers! Keep um' coming, baby!
