Currently Updating: Whenever I feel like it! ^___^ In all Sirius-ness, I'll try and get the chapters up as quickly as possible, but I still have summer homework and school starts in less than a week! So, even after I finish my procrastination, I have to go to school! AH! *Dies*
Chapter Two----Remus' PoV:
I watched my love run out of our shared bedroom, fearing he'd never return. Walking over to the cursed door, I looked frantically for him. That's just like me, to be so melodramatic about everything. I practically came on to my best friend and he rushed out.
'Big surprise there, Remus! What did you think he as gonna do? Confess his dying love for you? Dream on!' the voice in my head taunted.
"Siri?" I called quietly, noticing his absence with a pained heart. I sighed, hoping he'd come back, or at least be at the costume party. I tried to forget that the man I had fallen for had just ran away from me as quick as possible by moving into my bedroom and calling Lily for help with getting ready. (A/N: I understand that most wizards and witches wouldn't have a phone, but this is my creative AU, remember?! ^_____^)
James answered, "H'lo?"
"Prongs! Put Lily on…" I mumbled quietly.
"Sorry! Sir' just got finished in the bedroom with me and how he's in there with Lily!" He laughed, causing me to retch mentally. At least I knew where he was. My love was where I least wanted him to be--with James. Yes, I love James. He and Sirius are the closest thing I have to family. But, his relationship with Padfoot scared me. My biggest fear, losing my dear pup, always seemed near when he was with James.
"Prongs!" My love's voice chimed in the background. I almost jumped out of my skin. Just his voice made me want to pounce on him! 'Get a hold of yourself!' I commanded the werewolf inside me. The full moon was a full 2 weeks away, but the instincts never died. I, Remus J. Lupin, may want to just have a loving, deep, and passionate relationship with Padfoot, but the wolf in me wanted to fuck its mate senseless. I could barely breathe when his light-hearted tone returned, "Who's on the phone, Prongsy?"
"Remi!" he called, cheerfully, as my face contorted drastically in way I didn't know was possible. There was an unreadable silence from my ebony-haired love, and I hoped deep-down that he felt the same way I did about James calling me by my special Sirius-given pet-name. "Wanna talk to our wolfy-pal?"
He must've nodded because I heard no response and seconds later he was on the line. "Moony? You there?" I could feel my throat closing and the phlegm congesting my nasal cavities. (A/N: That's for you, Jess! heh-heh. I've always WANTED to talk about Remus' phlegm problems!! lol.)
I nodded, soon realizing he couldn't see me and choked out a "yeah" before wondering if he thought I was total git for my speech issues.
"I was just… erm… checking… to… like, y'know… make sure you're gonna be there tonight…"
"Tonight?" I asked stupidly, mind wandering to things such as "I wonder what my love is going as" and "I bet'cha Siri'd look great without a costume on".
"Y'know… the Halloween costume party?" His voice sounded strained.
"Oh, yes… I'll be there!" I said, forcing a false tone of amusement. My nerves were getting the better of me and I felt like, at any given moment, my dinner of mashed potatoes and ham was going to end up on the floor, mixed with stomach acids.
"Good!" he sounded relieved. "I'm gonna need my dance part----" I cut him off knowing that if I heard his voice anymore I'd be cleaning up a large mess in front of me. (A/N: Take this HOWEVER you want to! I know I did! ^___^)
"Siri'! Can you put on Lily, please?"
He paused. "Alright." I sensed a foreign emotion in his tone. Pain. It was pain. It made tears form behind my eyes to think about it, but I had to perfect my outfit. And Lily was the only one who could help me!
The phone switched hands and Lily's sweet voice said, " 'ello, Remus! What can I do for you?"
"Well," I began. After rethinking what I was about to say, I flushed and realized how embarrassing this was. I heard a girlie giggling in the background followed by a 'thump' and James' screech of triumph.
"Oh---my---God!" Lily said, before a 'thud' echoed and she screamed.
I was immediately worried. "Lily! Lily! What?! LILY!" I yelled, helpless.
"Sirius started a pillow-fight!" she said through another fit of giggles. My stomach lurched at the name and I felt an intense need to talk to him, when I heard chatter in the background.
"Did not! It was James!" Padfoot.
"Nuh-uh! You got jealous, 'cause Lil' was talking to Moony and whipped a pillow at me as a distraction!" Prongs.
'You wish, Remus!' Oh, wait. That was me. (A/N: Ditzy Remi!)
"No way!" Padfoot again. I heard him make a gagging noise and the rest of them laughed on his side. I didn't laugh. I didn't think it was very funny. The desire to talk to my pup was getting irresistible.
"Put Sirius on now," I said bitterly, through gritted teeth. I could hear the phone being thrown across the room and my love's frantic squeals of pain. My wolf-like jealousy took over and I felt like I was on autopilot.
"Hello?" he asked, as though his memory had failed him and he didn't remember it was I, boring Remus Lupin, who had called.
"Sirius," I said, trying not to cry. I hated it when he was with James. Or any other guy, for that matter. But mostly Prongs. That boy got millions of hugs and signs of affection from Padfoot that he took for granted--hugs and signs that should be mine, that I would NEVER take for granted. I pouted quietly.
"Remi!" Look! His memory returned! Give the dog a bone! But, even through the anger that I felt, the calmness in his voice startled me and the wolf in me softened, my "normality" coming back.
"Yeah," I said, tears coursing my cheeks. "It's me… just wanted to… say hi… y'know…" My voice broke and I as sure he could tell I was dripping salty drops on the receiver. His end was silent for awhile.
Then, "Well, pup! Are you gonna do it?" His tone shook me like an earthquake. Icy, yet it melted my soul.
"Do what, Padfoot?"
"Say 'hello', mate! That's why you wanted to talk to me." It was more of a question than a statement.
"Oh, yes… hello… I… I've got to go… y'know… get ready for the… um… party!" The last word was practically screamed, sending waves of anger to my doggy friend. I mumbled a quick, "Bye" before throwing the phone on the floor.
Sobs took me and soon I was reduced to a crying, shaking mess. "Why, Sirius?! WHY?!" It was only then that I noticed the dreary red light on the phone. The dreary red light that meant that my call to James was still connected. To my darling Padfoot. I clicked the phone of hastily, still shaking from the rude awakening. I laid back on the ground, carefully pondering my existence and why Sirius had never even noticed me.
(A/N: This was supposed to be the sappiest, fluffiest fic ever! Then, I got pissed off and now my wolfie-baby is crying! *Sobs with him* Any flames about this can be sent to my muse! She wouldn't play me a Peter Pan song on the keyboard, so I wrote this chapter all angsty 'n stuff! ;_;
Anyways, I promise only a little bit of Sirius-angst! (Literally!) Then back to the cutesy-funny-fluff! lol. I really do love 'dis fic! I'll be updating soon because Chapter 3 is almost done!!! YAY! Whooo! ^___^
Thanks for reading!
