~:~I'm Not Sure I Can~:~
A month. A month had gone by. A month since Sirius had been freed. A month since Remus accepted his proposal. A month since Harry's life had turned around...
...Today happened to be. Only a few days before Hogwarts begins. And our three can't wait.
You see, Harry will be returning to begin his fifth year with his two new favorite professors coming along.
Remus, due to the incessant badgering of Albus, had agreed to return to teach this year. Sirius, who had been offered the Charms class (due to a few accidents with Flitwick and some charm involving boils and scars), had been all too happy to come along too.
Harry was very happy for the two. In the short time that he'd known Sirius, he had never seen the dark haired man so...utterly happy. Not just because of Remus, but because he had his godson with him.
And Remus. Harry hadn't known Remus that long, but in the short month they had spent together, Harry now knew what the fragile man would say in certain situations.
...But, lately, Harry had noticed a change. Sirius usually didn't like to go anywhere without Remus by his side. The Three Broomsticks, Hogwarts, the kitchen, EVERYWHERE!
But, for the last two weeks, Harry had caught Sirius coming in at about three in the morning with a stupid grin on.
And Remus...he appeared to be breaking under pressure. As if he knew that Sirius was doing something horrible...but just didn't want to ruin his fantasy of perfection that they had of their new life.
They live together. They eat together. They talk together...
But secrets still remain here.....
~:~August 30th~:~
"Where is he?,"Remus asked himself.
It was 2 in the morning, and Sirius was still out at...Wherever he was.
Harry had offered to stay up with him, but Remus, as his second godfather (due to the engagement to Sirius), told him to go off to bed.
'He wouldn't...cheat...Would he?'
Remus had knowledge of Sirius cheating on him many times before. Especially back in school...
~:~Flashback~:~
A seventeen year old Remus walked through the portrait hole of Gryffindor Tower.
"James, have you seen Siri?"
James scowled at that pet name that Remus used for Sirius.
"He left. Said he had someone to see."
Remus' eyes went wide.
"Did...Did he say WHO and WHY?"
"No. But, he's probably off for another shag,"James said casually, flipping through one of his Quidditch magazines.
Remus plopped down on the couch next to James.
"Y-you don't think he would...Right?"
James looked up at Remus sympathetically. He put a comforting arm around his friend and hugged him slightly.
"Honestly, Rem...I don't know. You know he's done it before. So-"
"But he promised this time!,"Remus exclaimed, tears springing into his golden eyes,"He promised that now, it was just me!"
James smiled sadly.
"Well...sometimes Padfoot's a bit...confused-"
James was cut off as the portrait door opened again.
Sirius was back...and it wasn't looking good.
His clothes were ruffled up and his hair was flying in all directions. He reeked of some girl's perfume and was covered in smeared, red lipstick.
"Hey guys...Hey Moony,"he purred,"Man, what a night."
James got up and glared at him.
"Sirius, what did you do NOW?! Remus is-"
"Not going to stand for this anymore."
James and Sirius turned to see Remus on the couch, sending Sirius a death glare.
"Sirius...I tried...I tried and tried and tried again....But I can't do this."
Sirius chuckled a bit.
"Oh, come on Remmie! You had no problem-"
"I've always had a problem with it!,"Remus yelled,"I just never said anything because I hated the thought of losing you!"
Remus fidgeted with the ring on his left hand.
"I can't keep this, Sirius. Or anything else you gave me. This has to stop. The whole thing."
Sirius gaped. Remus was seriously (no pun intended, folks) leaving him.
"But..Remus...what will I do without you?"
Remus glared at him.
"You seem to have been doing fine for the last two years. You go out and bang some random person then come back to me, expecting to get some. Since we started going out in fifth year, all I've been to you is a quick shag to come home to. And I'm through with it."
Remus took the ring off his finger.
"We graduate in two weeks Sirius."
He tossed the ring to the floor.
"When you can commit to a REAL relationship, come see me. But don't think I'll be waiting up for you."
~:~End of Flashback~:~
Sirius had eventually gotten his act together. At least a month after graduation, the two had gotten back together and were even more in love than before.
...But, would Sirius go back to his old ways?
Remus sighed and hugged one of the cushions on the couch close to him.
"He better come back soon."
As if on cue, the door opened, and the sound of giggling filled Remus ears.
Remus got up and gasped at what he saw.
Sirius and...some blonde man. Kissing and groping like there was no tomorrow. Right in front of him.
Sirius, needing air, pulled away. Only to see Remus standing a few feet away. Near tears.
"Sirius,"he managed to croak,"How could you?"
Sirius just looked at him. He seemed drunk and incoherent.
"Ah...Remmie, right?,"he slurred,"Wha' did I do?"
The tears just flowed down Remus reddening face.
He reached for the engagement ring on his finger and slipped it off.
"Sirius...I can't...I...I just don't think I can do this again."
Remus threw the ring at Sirius and ran past him, out the door and into the dark of the outdoors.
~:~Next Morning~:~
SPLASH!
Sirius awoke as water was poured on him.
"What the-"
More water came down on him.
"Oh...You're awake,"Harry said absently, putting down the bucket in his hands.
"Yeah,"Sirius muttered, rubbing the side of his head. He could feel a headache coming on.
"What time is it?,"he asked, squinting a bit.
"Half past noon."
"...Where's Remus?"
Harry's face took on a look of slight anger.
"Sirius...he left. He left you. And I think had every right after what you did."
Sirius' face took on a look of confusion.
"Wha?"
"You came through the door last night with some guy practically humping your leg. Remus couldn't take it. So, he ran off....And left you this."
Harry held out the ring that Sirius had put on Remus finger a little over a month ago.
With wide eyes, Sirius recalled last night's events.
"Oh god...Why?!"
...With a growl of frustration, Sirius curled up on the floor. Sobs escaped his lips...
