~Because I Need You~
September had come and gone for Hogwarts. It was now nearly Novemeber, in fact. Today happened to be October 31st, Halloween, and the day of the big Halloween Dance.
Remus had been doing fine. He avoided Sirius at all costs, and seemed so much happier. He smiled all the time, he laughed...
...No tears...
...Sirius, however, was a different story...
Harry, who visited his godfather's rooms everyday, constantly found the man staring aty old pictures of Remus and himself. He was sinking into a sort of depression...
Sirius and Remus, being the most exciting of the professors, had been chosen to watch over the big event.
All they did was stand on the sides and watch, once in a while glancing at each other, only to turn away sadly.
'I have to talk to him sometime,'Sirius thought as a seventh year couple ran past him and into a dark corner, undoubtedly kissing.
'I can't avoid this forever'
With that, Sirius left his spot from the far left side of the Great Hall and crossed over to where Remus was conversing animatedly with Harry.
Once Remus realized what was going on, he stopped talking and became engrossed in his shoes.
"Remus, can I....talk to you?,"Sirius stuttered nervously.
Harry, knowing what might happen, left without saying a word.
"I don't know, Sirius. Can you?,"Remus asked,"Or does there have to be some touching involved?"
Sirius winced slightly.
"Remus, I...I didn't mean to-"
"Nobody means for alot of things to happen, Sirius."
Sirius growled a bit in frustration. The music in the Great Hall blared louder, making a conversation impossible.
"Let's take this outside,"Remus suggested.
~:~Outside The Dance~:~
Sirius stood by a bush of roses while Remus was sitting on a stone bench.
"Remus...I need you back."
Remus head snapped up in surprise.
"Sirius...I can't do that."
Sirius got down on his knees and held Remus' hands in his own, staring deep into those golden orbs that used to show love.
"Remus...I need you....To live...I can't do anything without you...Please."
Something pulled at Remus heart, but he ignored it.
"Remus, that night, I never meanbt for that to happen!"
Remus snorted in humor.
"How can you say that? I saw you groping that guy right in front of me...It didn't seem like you hadn't wanted it..."
Sirius sighed and got up, sitting beside the werewolf.
"Remus, I went to the 3 Broomsticks that night to...to-"
"To WHAT, Sirius?"
Another sigh.
"I went there to find Snape...He was helping me plan the wedding, and offered to help me find a secluded spot for us to be alone, without the whole wizarding world watching."
Remus eyes softened some.
"You did all that...for us?"
Sirius shook his head.
"For YOU, Moony, for YOU."
While the two stared into each other's eyes, a song came on...
When you walk away
You don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby
Don't go."
Simple and clean is the way you are making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
"But then...What happened? What was with that man you were-"
"Snape never showed! I waited and waited, but he never came...I decided to have a drink, just one. And then...this group of people walked over and sat with me..."
Remus put a hand on Sirius' shoulder, wanting him to continue.
"I tried to leave, but they all knew me. They said they wanted to have a few drinks with me. One of them...slipped some strong liquor into drink. By then, I was...VERY drunk..."
"How do I know this is true, Sirius?,"Remus asked, looking away,"How do I know this isn't just some plan to get me back?"
Sirius' head snapped up urgently.
"Remus, the morning I woke up, Harry told me you were gone. Can you guess what I did?"
Remus shook his head.
"I cried, Remus. For the first time since we were teenagers, I sat on the floor sobbing...I couldn't handle it all...I do love you, Remus. And I tried this time...Rememeber when Lily and James gotr married? I was a good boyfriend then! I stayed by you...Please, just give me another chance!"
You're giving me
Too many things lately
You're all I need
You smiled at me
And said
"Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you will understand
What I meant when I said no."
I don't think life is quite that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby
Don't go."
Simple and clean is the way you are making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
The daily things (like this and that and what)
That keeps us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me
And said
Remus stood up.
"You do love me, don't you?"
Sirius nodded frantically.
"Yes, I do!"
"...You're telling the truth...I can see it...But I just don't want to get hurt again, Siri...I don't want that anymore..."
Sirius stomach froze.
"What are you saying, Remus?"
"I wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so"
And lately some things are that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby
Don't go."
Simple and clean is the way you are making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
"Sirius...I can't do this again...I'm sorry"
Remus turned to leave, but Sirius grabbed his arm.
"Remus...Please don't do this to me."
Remus turned to Sirius with tears shining in his eyes.
"Sirius...I can't do this again...Not again...I know you're not lying, but....being together will only hurt us both."
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
It's a little later on
Regardless of warnings
The future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
"Remus, I-"
Sirius cut himself off by kissing Remus, not wanting to talk anymore.
"Remus, please...Give me one more chance. I want to make it work again."
Remus seemed to be thinking deeply. As if that kiss had opened his eyes.
"Don't walk away from me again,"Remus said, wrapping his arms around Sirius neck,"Don't you EVER let go of me."
When you walk away
You don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby
Don't go."
Simple and clean is the way you are making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
When you walk away
You don't hear me say
"Please, oh baby
Don't go."
Simple and clean is the way you are making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Sirius' dark eyes lit up.
"Oh, Remus...I-"
"Shut up, Sirius...Just listen to the music and dance with me..."
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
It's a little later on
Regardless of warnings
The future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Remus had his head on Sirius shoulder with his long, thin arms wrapped around Sirius' neck.
He sighed in content as he breathed in Sirius scent.
"I missed that smell," he muttered.
"I missed you,"Sirius said, wrapping his strong arms around Remus thin waist,"So much..."
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
It's a little later on
Regardless of warnings
The future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
"Will it be like before, Remus?"
"What?"
"Us? Will we be like before?"
"Nothing's like before anymore, Siri...It'll be better."
