AN- Yes, Remus is cheerful, I felt like making him cheerful. And several of the things described ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Bwhaha. This fish thing for instance whent on a for a few weeks. *grins* yeah, I definitly base Siri on me. Remus varies. =) On with it!
Disclaimer- not mine, with they were...
PS- REVIEW!!!! PLEASE!!

As the days progressed, things definitely didn't get any easier for Sirius, if anything, they got ten times harder. Every time he so much as glanced at Remus he noticed something else he loved about him. He was like…an angel. Though Sirius knew he'd never admit it, never even believe it. Things were also harder in that James was still telling him he should talk to Remus, that Remus would probably understand, that they were 'perfect', and even so far as to say he was a 'good catch'. Lord knows where he got THAT from, but he was not a constant source of embarrassing, mimicking the muggle way of 'reeling in a big fish'. Life for Sirius Black was never easy when James OR Remus were around. No peace for THIS Dog Star. Except tonight.

"Hmm," James said as he was once again, polishing trophies. "This is familiar. How many times have we polished these now Remus?"
Remus smirked and looked up from the little plaque he had just finished. "This being our sixth year, 237. You'd think they'd give us something different."
"Well, they do, we just run them through the cycle pretty regularly." Between the four of them, they were almost constantly in detention, and consequently had done almost every punishment the professors could think of to date. "Rock paper scissors for who has to clean Riddle's." James said, also having finished the trophy he had been working on. Riddle's plate was by far the largest and the biggest pain to clean. No one ever wanted to clean it, so this tradition was established to make the decision among which ever marauders were being punished that evening. They'd become rather good at it too.
"Paper beats Rock, it's all yours Prongs." Remus said grinning and picking up a MUCH smaller trophy that sat beside Riddle's.
James grimaced and began working. "So, what shall we do to pass the time?" He asked innocently. "Perhaps a little game of truth or truth?" He said, grinning.
"I thought it was called 'Truth or Dare'." Remus stated.
"You know that is EXACTLY was Sirius said when I offered the game to him last week when we were in here. So what is that? Yes or no?"
"Sure, why not." Remus said, laughing. "You go first."
"Alright. James grinned while imagining himself with little wings and a halo, playing the part of cupid. "Which way do you swing?"
"Pardon?"
"Which way do you swing?" James repeated, grinning like a maniac. "Boys or girls?"
"Oh, that. Well, if you want to be technical, in order to 'swing' you go back AND forth, or else it just isn't very fun."
James rolled his eyes. "You know that's not what I meant."
"Of course not." Remus grinned, "But it wouldn't be any fun to answer you straight out."
"Well, please, bypass some of this fun and spill it."
Remus laughed again. He was a lot easier going than he had been in the past. "I, not falling under my previous answer, swing to boy."
"Singular, eh?" James asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Singular, yes, as in one boy, as in, I fancy one and only one person. This does not classify me as much of anything- except in love."
"And who is this lucky fellow to have a fine young man like yourself 'Mooning' over him?" James asked in an almost serious tone, minus of course the moon joke.
"I believe you already know the answer, and I believe it's my turn." Remus stated simply. James pouted and continued polishing. "How long have you liked Lily?"
James blushed. "Middle of last year. My turn." Remus nodded. "Is it Sirius?"
"Bravo m'friend. Hope you don't mind" he said laughing. He'd been expecting this conversation since the day James had told him Sirius was a pouf.
"Yeah, well, pretty obvious Moony. And of course I don't mind, you knew that. I just wanted to confirm it." James rolled his eyes. "How long?"
"My turn." Remus said, smiling smugly.
"Oh you lunar pain in the arse!" James muttered, finally setting down Riddle's award and moving onto the next trophy.
"Would it be worth my while to pursue him?"
"OH yeah." James replied vehemently. "NOW my turn. How long?"
"Fourth year."
"Ooo, you secretive little…." James muttered before bursting out laughing. "Damn Moony, I don't know how you do it. I really don't."
Remus just shrugged and continued cleaning.
~*~
'He has a cute nose…' Sirius mused, looking up from his potions homework to stare at Remus's 'cute nose'. He didn't realize how long he'd been sitting there until Remus interrupted his daydream.
"What are you staring at there Padfoot?" He asked, his eyes dancing with mirth.
"Your nose." Sirius said, still off in lala land. "I like it."
"Really? Remus said, raising an eyebrow. Now that you've made this observation would you like to return to the land of the living and go to dinner?"
Sirius quickly shook himself and realized what he'd just said. Consequently, he turned bright red. Remus simply grinned and stood up.
"I'll be right back; I need to check out this book from Madam Pince real quick." He stated, walking away.
As soon as he left, Sirius gave his head a few good bangs on the table, muttering 'stupid, stupid, stupid,' before getting up and packing up his and Remus's bags.
Just as he was finishing, Remus returned, the book tucked under his arm.
"You didn't have to do that." He said, referring to the neatly packed bag.
"Doesn't bother me in the least." Sirius said with a grin. "I guess I just get on a roll."
Remus laughed and placed the new book in his bag. "Maybe one day I'll 'get on a roll' and repay you." He smiled. 'James was right, definitely worth my while.' "Come on Siri, dinner time!" He grinned and dashed to the door of the library, stopping when he got there to wait on Sirius.
"Geeze Moony, do you have to move so FAST?" Sirius laughed.
"Sure do, I'm hungry. And what's so special about my nose?" Remus asked.
"Damn." Sirius hissed and turned bright red. "It's cute." He muttered before quickly dashing off towards the Great Hall for dinner. Remus followed behind, beaming.
