AN- Ok, first off, THIS IS NOT AND WILL NOT BE A LEMON. POint blanck. So stop making the weird comments about the bed thing. Just because they share a bed doesn't mean they're having sex. Sometimes it's just nice to sleep in the arms of the one you love. No funny stuff! Sheese! No gutter related thoughts, Ok? With that said...onwards we go. A major thank you to Uozumi for the marathon review. I was bouncing up and down in my seat when I saw how looooong it was. Lol. Yeah, now I need to actually write the fic, that first bit was bugging me though, so had to write this first, did you realize that I always, ALWAYS write the entire chap, THEN come up with all this? Otherwise all my AN's would be this long...because after I write the story I forget everything I wanted to put in here. Shutting up. Writing. Bye.
Just finished. And just a quick shameless plug real quick...I wrote a songfic called 'Bother' that would love some reviews...it currently has very few...*grins* I liked it...Implied slash. Post OotP and post war.
Disclaimer- Not mine. *pouts*

Sirius smiled as sat in the Lupins' kitchen eating a bowl of ice cream with Remus. The days had slowly been getting warmer, but this year he enjoyed it. This year he wasn't stuck in that stupid claustrophobic house all day long. He could actually get air, breathe, LIVE. It was incredibly refreshing. He hadn't even been here a week and he felt like a completely different person. The only troubles to worry about were homework and the upcoming full moon, but that was nothing in comparison to the torture his mother would have put him through. A summer in the Black household meant constant discussion of Voldemort's rise in power. 'Should we join with him?' was the question that most often went around the dinner table. Sirius had always tried to ignore them, for he knew whatever side Voldemort was on, he would be on the other. Plain and simple. But here, it was a discussion of what flavor ice cream to eat, or when to go out to Muggle London to explore. This was the life Sirius wanted to live all of his. It was so, alive. Perfect.
Sirius looked down at his ice cream. It was melted.
"Lost in thought Padfoot?" Remus asked from the other side of the table where he was licking his spoon. His bowl was empty.
Sirius nodded. "Thinking about how much I love it here. It's so peaceful."
Remus grinned. "I'm glad you like it. I used to hate it here, I was so lonely."
"I know love, but now you've got me. I'll never let you be lonely." Sirius grinned as he stood up and took the bowls to the sink where he began washing them. Remus came over and joined him. Sirius had really become part of the family in the few days he'd been there, down to helping with chores. He grinned and kissed him on the cheek before plunging his hands into the dirty water.
"Say, Padfoot, does James even know you're here?" Remus asked suddenly, looking up from the pot that had been used to cook some soup for lunch in.
Sirius raised an eyebrow and laughed. "I'd completely forgotten about that, I bet he's wondering what happened to me!" Sirius chuckled and grabbed a plate to wash. As he did so an owl flew through the open window. It was James's.
Remus smirked. "How ironic." He walked over and took the letter from its outstretched leg. He opened it and read out loud.
"Hey Moony." Remus laughed. "Obviously doesn't know you're here, or it'd be to you too. Onwards then. How are you? I've been doing fine, but I've got a question. Do you have any bloody idea where the hell Sirius is? I can't seem to get in touch with him..."
Sirius laughed. "Right to the point isn't he?"
"Yep, he always has been if I remember correctly. He asked me outright if it was you I'd fallen for. That's one day I'm never going to forget." Remus grinned. "But from the sounds of it, you're in trouble if you don't tell him where you are right this instant. He said Herma's just been bringing the letters he sends you right back to him."
Sirius laughed again. "Alright, alright. Let me finish this real quick.." He dried off the last plate and put it in the cabinet before returning to the table. "Do you have quill and parchment handy?" Remus nodded and pulled an old quill, some blue ink, and a clean sheet of parchment from a nearby drawer. He set them down in front of Sirius, who had seated himself in one of the kitchen table chairs.
"There you go love." He said before leaning over Sirius's shoulders, his arms dangling around his neck and his face surrounded by sweet smelling black hair.
"Moooony!" Sirius whined. "Do you have any idea how distracting you are?" He squirmed around so he could see Remus. He smiled and kissed him soundly before turning back to the letter. All it said was 'Hi James! I'm alive!'
Remus read the line and laughed. "Well, that's a nice way to put it. Write."
Sirius rolled his eyes. "Yes master, writing master."
Remus laughed and bopped Sirius lightly on the side of the head. "You're not a house elf by any stretch of the imagination love."
"…Ouch." Sirius rubbed his head in mock pain before doing as he was told and finishing the letter. He smiled when he was done. "Want to add anything love?" he asked, turning to Remus.
Remus took the letter and read over it before jotting a quick note at the bottom reading 'Maybe we'll come by for lunch sometime. –Moony'. He smiled and rolled the letter before tying it to Herma's leg. "Off you go!" Herma flew off instantly with an amused hoot, almost as if she knew how furious James would be to know he was worrying over nothing.
Sirius pulled Remus into him for another kiss as she left. "Now what shall we do m'love?" He asked after a good five minutes.
"Well, mum and dad will be home soon, so I'd suggest a bit more of this," he promptly gave Sirius another quick kiss, "while we have the chance."
Sirius smiled brightly before lifting Remus off his feet into a happy twirl before setting him back down and closing the gap between their lips yet again. What a summer this was going to be.
~*~
"Shut UP you blasted git!" Sirius yelled. "I don't have time to deal with you."
Snape just smiled and stepped back in front of him. "Really. Now what could it be that you're in such a hurry to do? After all, you're boyfriend's gone and left. I saw him leave earlier with McGonagall. So you've no place to hurry off to." He said slowly, accenting the word 'boyfriend'.
Sirius turned red and glared at his watch. "I don't have a 'boyfriend'." He said, glaring at Snape with a look that could kill. "But I do have a time limit and I need to go, NOW. So MOVE before I have to make you!" He said menacingly, reaching for his wand.
"Oh no, not until you tell me what's so bloody important that you can't even take time for a little conversation." Snape once again stepped in his way.
Sirius was now furious. And late. The sun was almost down, he needed to be long gone by now, he needed to be there for Remus. James and Peter had detention tonight, of all nights. And Remus NEEDED him. And this ********* bloody prat was in his ********* WAY. If it were possible, his usually gray eyes were swiftly becoming red with anger and frustration.
"Move." He hissed.
"No." Snape replied, still smiling.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW? YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S SO BLOODY IMPORTANT?" Sirius exploded. He couldn't help it. He had lost control. "Why don't you go down to the Whomping Willow tonight and touch that knot at the base? THEN you'll see what's 'so bloody important'!" He hissed before storming out of the castle.
~*~
"Sirius, Siri, c'mon love, wake up, it's just a dream, wake up."
Sirius started awake. Someone was shaking him. Pretty hard too. He slowly opened his eyes to see Remus's hazel and golden eyes staring back at him. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, you're alright. Just a nightmare, eh?" Remus asked, stroking his forehead.
"Yeah, was I…making a lot of noise?" Sirius asked quietly.
"Not really, but you were thrashing around, and even though this bed isn't small, it's not big enough for me not to notice." Remus responded, smiling. "So what happened?"
"A very bad memory that will probably haunt me the rest of my life." Sirius sighed. They'd had this discussion before. He was still in shock the Remus had actually forgiven him for that incredible transgression of trust.
"Oh. That." Remus said quietly. "You know you're forgiven. No harm was actually done."
"I know love, but it still kills me that I did that to you." Sirius sighed and looked down at the blankets that were now tangled around himself and Remus. "Did I ever tell you he insinuated that we were together that night?"
Remus smirked. "I'm afraid you left out that detail. Maybe he's smarter than we give him credit for."
"Doubtful."
Remus laughed again. "Well, it's almost 3 AM, do you reckon you could go back to sleep? We both could use it."
"With you here, of course." Sirius said, kissing Remus lightly on the forehead before wrapping his arms around his waist and holding him close. It wasn't five minutes before Sirius was sound asleep.
"I love you Siri." Remus whispered before drifting off himself.
