Hihi everyone! Oh wow! 77 reviews!!! XD I'm so happy! This by far has been my most successful fic and I couldn't be happier! Hopefully with all your help this'll be my first 100 review fic! And if it is....I'll write an extra-long chapter in celebration! XD
Well, school has been dreadful as usual....*damns school to hell* But my Halloween was by far one of the funniest times I've ever had in my life...except for almost getting caught by the cops *rolls eyes innocently* But oh well! ^_^ Let's just say my friends and I got into a very, VERY Marauders kinda mood and ended up staying out until 5 am.......hehe....
Well, here it is....without hesitation....The Rescue!!!!!! Mwahahahahaha!!!
Beware this chapter will probably be at least semi-long and full of good old' fashion Remy x Siri fluff! XD Yes, even I have been anticipating this chapter and it's finally here....After this I'll probably have 2 more chappies and that's it! So enjoy this while you can...^_^
Here it is.......chapter 6.....Enjoy! ^_^
AN: POV formats in some parts, and even though I know you don't just magically 'un-petrify', it's going to happen to Remus in this chapter, you'll see, it'll make this chapter a whole lot better and you'll love it! XD (if you haven't noticed I love changing the rules for my dear Moony ^_^)

-Nothing More- chapter 6
By now the only evidence of Remus being in the lake was the ring of ripples emanating from the center. The crowd fresh from watching the Quidditch match was now emerging from the stadium. Things like, "Did you see how Potter dove for the snitch at the end!" and, "I just couldn't believe that play!" were echoing through the grounds, but suddenly the crowd split like the Red Sea as a certain dark-haired man ran towards the lake.
"Please be okay..." Sirius kept mumbling to himself as he pushed by his peers, "Just let him be okay..."
Slowly the water got closer to him and at the moment when he was within 15 feet of diving in and saving his best friend, possibly the last person he wanted to see on earth blocked his path.
"Well, well, if it isn't Black...." Steve snickered. (You remember him right?)
Sirius glared, "Steve, please just get your fat-ass out of my way before we all have to take a detour through the Forbidden Forest to get to the castle..."
The crowd giggled lightly at his comment, but then whispers of a fight brewing between the two starting spreading through the pupils. But Sirius knew he didn't have time for this... He kept staring at the lake that was only a few feet behind Steve. He would do anything to just get rid of this 'road block'. Suddenly he was brought back to his senses.
"BLACK! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!" Steve bellowed in Sirius' face, spitting all over him, but he wasn't even bothered by this.
"No... I'm not, now can you please move?"
Steve crossed his arms and laughed as he mocked Sirius, "Can you please move?" He looked back to his group who was laughing along with him, "Fat chance of me getting out of YOUR way Black."
"Fine..." The Dark-haired boy stepped forward, "If you won't move.....Then I'll make you!"
Sirius threw his fist into the older boy's face as he ran past him to the shore. He then muttered to himself, "As long as you're alright in the end Remus, I'll do anything..."
With those words Sirius' dove into the lake gracefully and began his search for the werewolf. Students and faculty gasped and watched in awe and he disappeared beneath the water...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Remus' POV-
I didn't exactly know what was happening to me, but I knew I was going to die...
"How did this happen?" I asked myself, "If only Sirius or James were here, I'd be okay...." I looked up and noticed that the light above was getting dimmer as I sunk deeper, and there was nothing I could do about it.
I wanted to cry, but what good would that do? I was underwater and you couldn't even tell if I were crying anyway.
How long had it been since I was petrified? 5 minutes? Maybe 10? I couldn't tell anymore, but Peter's spell should be wearing off soon....and then....that's when the water will flood my lungs and that'll be it. No more Remus J. Lupin.
And....and....I never got to tell him. Tell Sirius that I finally figured out that these feelings were more than just a simple infatuation, that I actually did love him, and not just as a brother....As, as my sort of...soul mate.
I wanted to smile, but my muscles were still restrained from moving.
"Damn this...." I thought to myself, "Damn this all! I don't want to die yet! Please let this spell wear off!"
Then, as if the gods heard me, my muscles were released, but like a git, I tried to take a breath. Water rushed into my system and my vision went blurrier than it already was.
"This is it....." I thought to myself, "This is how you're going to go Remus, betrayed by a filthy rat."
I closed my eyes and basically every moment I treasured flashed in my mind. I noticed that each one had Sirius in it. When I was sorted into Gryffindor...Our first Hogsmeade trip... The kiss in the dormitory... The kiss under the beech tree.... Romping in the grass with him just a few hours earlier... I opened my eyes to see one last look at the light above when I saw a figure floating towards me......
I reached out to the figure because that's what it seemed to be doing to me. Once it was close enough, I felt its arms wrap around my waist and in one last attempt I tried to focus my eyes on its face.....
"Sirius...." I mumbled the moment before I lost consciousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sirius' POV-
I found him. You can't describe the relief I was feeling through my body as I wrapped my arms around his waist and began to pull him to the surface. But even though I felt joy for finding him, I couldn't help but still wonder who the hell would do this.
I lunged for the air above us. It was a good thing I had just perfected my bubble-head charm the previous week, or else I wouldn't of even had a chance of saving Remus, then I thought to myself,
"The ironic thing is I wouldn't have perfected it without Remus..."
I shook my head free of stray thoughts and remembered that he was unconsciouss and needed oxygen as soon as possible. Focusing only on reaching the surface, we finally did, and surrounding the whole lake was probably the whole school. Some holding hands and praying with others (mainly girls) sobbing while others hugged them.
At last I was able to get Moony on the shore. I laid him down on his back and noticed that he still wasn't breathing and that his skin was paler than usual. I placed my head on his chest to listen and when I didn't hear anything, I mentally panicked.
People started to crowd around us, but no one that I could really use. Where the hell is Dumbledore when I need him? No, that might be too late. Then without thinking, I slammed my fists down on his chest,
"What the hell am I supposed to do now?!"
Then I heard the one thing that both excited me and calmed me at the same time.... He coughed.
Each time he coughed more water came up and finally he was able to sit. Tears formed in my eyes and I threw myself at him as I released everything at once,
"Remus, thank god you're okay...." I cried, "All I could think of was to save you....I was starting to think me diving into the lake was for nothing."
"You.....saved me...." He said, "It was you.....I wasn't seeing things..."
I smiled at him and wrapped him in the most gentle hug I could muster, "Of course I saved you....James was too busy chasing a snitch...."
At this moment his eyes shone with tears and even though we were in front of all of Hogwarts, Remus cupped my cheeks and wiped my tears with his thumbs.....and slowly....he brought his lips to mine.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Their kiss didn't last long as the headmaster appeared at last. He glanced at Remus and then averted his gaze to a beet red Sirius who was still speechless and eyes were left wide in shock. He beckoned for Madame Pomfrey to take Remus off to the Hospital Wing and once he was swept away, Sirius was bombarded by curious teens.
"Are you really queer Sirius?" Was the question about a million students asked, but truthfully he wasn't 100% sure.
Yeah, he risked his life for him and that was about their fourth kiss by now, but actually admitting it to the world kind of seemed like a huge step from this perspective. Why was he doubting his feelings now?
"Do I really like Reemy that way?" Sirius asked himself once he was finally in his bed. "Nah," He shook his head as he pulled his covers up to his chin, "We're best friends......Nothing more..."

Hehe...Isn't love complicated? Now you finally see where the title comes in... Mwaha! lol
Personally I don't think this came out as great as it could've been, but I still like it! XD I still have homework to do and I really really wanted to post a new chappie before I did ^_^ See how much I love you guys? Since the next 2 chapters might end up being the last I'll make sure that they'll be really good. Once this is done I was also thinking of writing a one-shot short sorta sequel to this...
Well, that's all for now. I think I just used up all my homework time writing this....oh well! There's always next quarter. Please review now that you've read it! Until next time!
