Disclaimer: Cara mine blah blah blah.

Thanks to:

Arigazi: LMAO you want the god's honest truth...I've considered it before. I've turned it over and over in my mind but unfortunately (Sorry) it would hinder the relationship of the two boys more then help. But a lot of you are asking for Remus to get someone. At the moment I can't think of anyone and I can't really see him wanting to what he'll consider betraying Sirius. However, should someone spring to mind then we'd get him some loving. And HELL YEAH I had fun writing it.

Kitty254781: Lol ah the brilliance of hot comical sex (Grin).

Angel174: Right, explanations. The nickname for Harry, Caerleon, is roughly translated as "Lion's place" which if you think about it is fitting as Harry is very lion-hearted. Cara's name 'Inari' is a Japanese deity and is considered very mysterious because it is considered both male and female. Cara is a guy but is very feminine in character so I thought it rather fitting. Plus Inari can turn into a fox, which isn't far off from a wolf lol. As for aggressive Cara you gotta love him!

Sykostalker27: I'd settle for being jealous of both lol!

Chapter 13 –

Cara's body gave a little shudder as his dreams became louder, more clear until he jerked awake. Sighing he cursed at the dream for waking him early again as he attempted to curl round his sleeping mate again.

When sleep did not come he groaned and placed a pillow on top of his head. Lying there for a moment he then gave up and climbed out from under the covers.

Throwing on the shirt had given him all the way back when they were 18 and a pair of linen slacks he opened the bedroom door quietly. Walking noiselessly down the short hallway he snuck into the kitchen as the silhouette of a sleeping Remus on the couch gave a little snuffle.

He got a glass of water and still walking quietly he went over to the porch windows and stepped onto the balcony, closing them again slowly behind him but not before he heard Remus mutter 'Sirius'.

He turned then, leaning on the balcony as he clasped the drink in his two hands, to watch the dawn sky. It was a mix of blues and pinks and had it not been for the morning song of bird's the park opposite would've been still of life.

As he sipped his drink he thought back to the two men sleeping inside. Harry was his soul mate, he knew that, and to lose him would be unbearable. But that's how Remus was, a wolf without his beloved mate. He felt so much pride for the older man. The strength to continue with his life, to smile, to protect his mate's cub in his absence...He didn't think he could do that.

He'd never been particularly brave or strong, that had only really started to surface since he'd been with Harry. No, back when he was young he'd been quiet and would be bullied everyday at the orphanage, beaten because he was something they both didn't and didn't want to understand.

Closing his eyes he let out a sigh that turned into slight mist in the morning air. The day before the other's had made cracks about the whole love making incident but for him it had been one of his most memorable incidents. He was loved.

It had been wild at times but it never lost the intimacy of the act, the animalistic Harry still uttering words of love as he grinned wickedly down at him. He wished with all his heart that he could tell his mum that he had done what she had asked, To live...and to never be afraid of what might happen.

He heard the doors open and he looked briefly over his shoulder. Remus had the sheets wrapped around him as he clicked the doors shut again behind him, smiling gently at the young werewolf. Cara returned it.

"Morning, did I wake you?" He asked softly as the tawny-haired man moved to lean also on the banister railing.

"No, I can be a bit of an insomniac...but then again it doesn't look like I'm alone on that." The older man's eyes twinkled slightly in amusement, which was mirrored in the young blonde's briefly before it left again.

"It was that dream again." He said simply and Remus nodded mildly.

"Yes, I thought as much. The dreams are what usually wake me up to." The younger man looked over at him and he turned to meet the gaze, finishing his sentence.

"I see him fall through that veil all the time." He said simply at Cara seemed to sober at the words, placing a hand on the older male's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Remus, truly I am." They smiled reassuringly at one another till Cara dropped his hand.

"What was he like?" He asked quietly and Remus smiled sweetly as he remembered his mate's smiling face.

"He was untameable fire and wind. He was reckless but he looked so beautiful with his head thrown back in laughter that you didn't care that you were in battle. That will always be one of my favourite memories... During the first war the Order was attacked. I stood back to back with Sirius but whilst I was thinking of the fastest way out he simply laughed at the group moving towards us. And after a while, I found myself laughing too."

Cara chuckled a little along with the grinning older man.

"People always say that Harry takes after his parents which although true, it's not exactly the entire picture. Harry is us all, all the Marauder's...well maybe not Wormtail but...

He has James's courage, Lily's moral and even my sense of determination...But he is Sirius reborn. He's been giving a little more sense then Siri of course," They both grinned at that, "Not a lot mind but...They are both forces onto themselves, both passionate and you can see they truly live in battle. Harry hates war, yes, but next time he is in battle look into his eyes. You will this fire burning behind them as he grins slightly...Sirius had that."

They both turned to sit on the floor, backs to the rail.

"They both have a temper and they...they would've died for one another." They sat there quietly for a moment until Cara's voice broke the air.

"That's why you always look so sad when you see us together...Harry's so much like Sirius." The older man nodded a little.

"And you are very similar to me Cara Faolan. Both suffer the same curse, both not nearly as confidant as our mates," Cara laughed as he nodded, "But...but I know that you too feel like you can take on the world with your lover by your side."

The blonde looked at Remus's profile as a small smile curled at the corner of the man's lips.

"I think that's why I'm so adamant on protecting you two...because...in a sense I'm saving myself. I won't sit by and watch history repeat itself."

A brief moment went by until suddenly Cara hugged the man tightly. Shocked at first then moved Remus returned it.

"Live the life I couldn't hold onto Cara...goddess knows you both deserve it."

"FROSTIES!"

"TOAST!"

Tonks pulled on one end of the box as Harry tried to out it back in the cupboard.

"Tonks you are a grown woman and sugar makes you hyper now give.them.HERE!"

They continued to wrestle as Cara and Remus walked back into the living room where they discovered the scene. Hermione had long since made herself some tea and was watching the exchange like she would an interesting programme.

"Ten minutes they've been at it."

Laughing the young werewolf walked over, walking between them and snatching the box away in the process. Both looked like shocked kids who had been told Santa no longer existed.

"Hey." Harry said weakly as his boyfriend jumped up onto the counter to munch from the box, an innocent smile on his face.

Chuckling Remus shook his head.

"Come on you two, you have work to get ready for." Instantly they both raced each other to the hallway to get dressed, jeering one another.

"It's like watching two kids seriously." The witch on the couch said as she stood and dusted herself off.

"I have work too, what about you two?"

"The shop's closed for today and my Ministry interview isn't for at least a week yet." Cara collapsed onto the sofa as he closed his eyes mildly.

"And I don't work as of yet."

"Oh good then you two can go do the shopping for us what the hell is that Harry." She said all in one breath as Harry walked back in, Auror uniform in place.

"My uniform." He said with a boyish grin and winked at a blushing Cara.

Remus watched the exchange and quirked an eyebrow.

"I don't want to know." He said mildly as he walked back into the kitchen, the two men grinning sneakily at one another.

Harry moved to sit next to Cara on the couch, swinging his legs in an elaborate way to rest his feet on the coffee table.

"Harry get your feet off the table." The werewolf said as Harry smirked at him.

"My table." He said simply as the blonde gave him a mock glare.

"My books on the table." They both glanced down at the table where Harry was indeed resting his feet on the books. He lifter then quickly.

"Shit, sorry." He said as he leant in to kiss his boyfriend to make amends.

Remus watched it all with a small serene smile on his face. It was like watching a memory but the image faces were slightly different. He continued to stir his drink as he silently watched the true smiles on Harry and Cara's faces whilst they both play fighted.

He was going to do everything within his power to ensure that this new threat didn't tear the lovers apart like it had down himself and Sirius. Briefly he tried to imagine Cara meeting his boyfriend's Godfather, the way Sirius would crack a joke to ease the boy's nerves before teasing him. That was one of the things he loved about Sirius. If he teased you then it generally meant he was comfortable and liked you where as if he was polite and curt then it meant he didn't really like you or wasn't comfortable with you.

"Tantric Sex!" Harry's voice broke through his thoughts as the girl's and Cara's laughter filled the air. Walking back through he leant against the archway sipping his drink as he watched the exchange between the younger generation. "Where was this yesterday? And since when did you bring home books like this?" The darker man asked as he allowed Cara to curl around him.

"Bethany said you'd like it." The blonde chuckled as his mate flipped the book over to read the back.

"I like Bethany, let's invite her for tea."

The group laughed and Remus felt a warm happiness bubble in his chest.

Harry was truly Sirius's son, even if it was only in the heart.
