Chapter Two: In which the results are discovered
Sirius opened his eyes, and regretted it immediately. It should be illegal, he decided, for light to be that bright, or a room to be that white. Keeping his eyes firmly shut, he set to thinking (as quietly as possible) what had caused him to drink that much, and what the ensuing consequences had been, besides a raging hangover. Ok, tuxedos, wedding, James and Lily! Alright, James and Lily's wedding, that helped. So I was drinking at the wedding, toasts, celebrating, dancing, Moony dancing, holy shit- Remus dancing? They must have all had a lot to drink, because Remus did not dance sober. Ok, I remember the wedding clearly, and most of the reception, but after that…
He lay there struggling to remember anything else when it spontaneously hit him. Sex. He'd had sex. Lots of sex. Mind blowing sex. Amazing, fantastic, borderline illegal sex. But with who? There were plenty of people at the wedding he hoped it was not, and a few he certainly wouldn't mind if it was, but which category did this person fall into?
The sex was slowly coming back to him, as it did so was the other person's body, beautiful, magnificent, and definitely male. That wasn't anything new, but he had an even narrower field of men at the wedding he'd be willing to shag than women. Try as he might, however, the face would not come back to him. There was nothing to it, he was going to have to open his eyes and see if he was still there.
He opened his eyes again, and again shut them tight quickly. Damn. Ok, have to do it. He opened and closed them again several times, letting them slowly adjusted to the light, when he could see he took a deep breath and turned his head to the left.
Holy Fucking Shit.
Remus. I had sex with Remus. Well I was right, Moony must have been really drunk. But, Remus? Sure I find Remus attractive, always have, but I had no idea Moony was into guys. Well, I suppose I shouldn't dismiss it that way, I've never been real clear on Moony's sexuality, actually, he'd always seemed rather asexual. I always assumed he stayed away from everyone because of the werewolf thing. But…fuck, last night, that was amazing…who had any idea Moony had it in him…
As Sirius continued to think in this vein stirrings began beside him.
"Ugh…" Remus groaned. Damn he's waking up, Sirius thought, Well, unavoidable I suppose, I knew I'd have to do this sometime.
"Moony…" He said aloud. Startled, Remus jumped and turned to look at him.
"Sirius? Why? What? Huh?" Remus looked confused, Sirius gave him a moment and he watched the emotions flicker across Remus' face and saw when he remembered the events of the previous night, "Oh…um…wow…certainly not what I expected."
"Me either." Sirius said, and smiled suggestively, then mentally smacked himself for it. Remus blushed and seemed to get more flustered.
"No…I mean…not…that…you know…"
"I know, Remy, I'm sorry."
"Me too, I mean…lots to drink…wasn't thinking straight…" Remus was babbling, "Just once…drunk…meaningless…forget about it…"
"Is that what you want?" Sirius asked, "To forget about it?" Remus looked up at him then.
"Don't you?"
"Yeah, sure." Sirius said, sitting up and looking for his clothes. Remus looked questioningly at him.
"You don't want to forget about it?" he asked. Damn. Remus has always been able to see through me that way.
"Ok, fine, you know that I didn't mean that, so I'm just going to be out with it." Sirius said, "You're beautiful, Remus. I've thought so for years. But I never thought you felt that way about me, and anyway I didn't want to jeopardize what we already had, so I ignored it. Last night was…amazing. I couldn't believe it. I'd thought of you that way before, but I never imagined it anything like that. It got me to thinking, sex that amazing, with someone I care about as much as I do you…well, how often does that opportunity even present itself? And I thought, that if you were up for last night, and you certainly seemed to enjoy yourself, then maybe you'd want to take advantage of this opportunity and maybe give it a go? I mean, give us a go? But, if you don't want to…I mean…it's no big deal…don't worry about it…"
"Sirius…" Remus said, "wow. I had no idea. I never…I mean…the werewolf thing. I've always worked quite hard to shut that part of me away, not even acknowledge that it exists because I was afraid. Of people, of life, of falling for someone who wouldn't accept me… I suppose I should have thought of that, the three people who were always there for me, accepted me regardless of all faults or monthly foul moods. I probably should have, but I never once thought of any of you that way." Sirius' face fell, he had hoped for one moment that Remus might agree with him, want to see what was there between them, but…
"Do you…" Remus interrupted his thoughts. "Do you mind if I think about this for a bit, it's quite a lot to absorb." Sirius looked up at him.
"Yeah, sure, no problem." Sirius stood up, pulling on his clothes. "I'll just go to my room, change into some clean clothes, that don't smell of…" he leaned down and sniffed his tuxedo jacket, "…cigarettes *sniff* sex *sniff* and alcohol…" He pulled on his shoes and walked to the door, where he paused and turned around, looking back at the figure on the bed, "See you at breakfast?" Remus looked up at him, smiled lightly and nodded. Sirius closed to door behind himself, leaned his forehead against it and banged his head against it once, realized Remus was still in the room and would have heard that, then rushed off to his own room.
